MEET THE

The rehab physio HQ Team

We are a team of specialist therapists with extensive experience in rehabilitation units and community settings across both the public and private sectors in London.

We started as a team of three physiotherapists providing community physiotherapy, but we quickly realised that to provide the streamlined, coordinated service we envisioned for our clients, it was essential to bring other therapy disciplines in-house. This approach ensures optimal coordination and patient care by having a fully integrated team under one roof.
