Exciting Changes at Physical Health Physiotherapy: Growing Our Team, Introducing Shockwave Therapy and More!
It's an exciting time at Physical Health Physiotherapy!
Over the past few months, we've been working hard behind the scenes to develop our clinics, expand our services and create even more opportunities to support our patients on their journey to better health and movement.
Since taking over the clinic, I have been focused on building upon the foundations of Physical Health while introducing new ideas, investing in the team and continuing to develop the high standard of personalised care we're proud to provide.
From welcoming a new physiotherapist to introducing innovative treatment options and expanding our rehabilitation and Pilates offering, there's plenty happening across our Shepperton and Woking clinics.
We're delighted to share some of our latest news and give you a glimpse of what's coming next!
👋 Welcoming AJ to the Physical Health Team
One of our most exciting developments is the expansion of our clinical team.
We're delighted to welcome AJ, our newest Musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapist, who will be joining Physical Health Physiotherapy from 1st November 2026.
AJ brings a combination of clinical physiotherapy experience and more than 10 years of experience within the health and fitness industry.
Having completed his postgraduate diploma in Physiotherapy at Bangor University, AJ has developed experience working with individuals of varying ages, abilities and activity levels, from people managing everyday aches and pains to recreational athletes and professional sportspeople.
His approach focuses on understanding each patient's individual needs, identifying the factors contributing to their symptoms and developing personalised treatment and rehabilitation programmes.
With his background in health and fitness, AJ also brings a strong appreciation for the importance of exercise, strength and movement in both recovery and long-term physical health.
What Does This Mean for Our Patients?
As our clinics continue to grow, expanding our team allows us to offer greater appointment availability and support more people seeking physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
AJ will be working alongside the wider Physical Health team, helping patients with a variety of musculoskeletal conditions, including:
Back and neck pain
Sports injuries
Joint and muscle pain
Tendon and ligament injuries
Post-operative rehabilitation
Mobility and movement difficulties
Strength and conditioning
Injury prevention and return-to-sport rehabilitation
We're looking forward to introducing AJ to our patients and seeing him become part of the Physical Health community.
Keep an eye on our website and social media pages for more information about AJ and his appointment availability.
Introducing Shockwave Therapy – Coming November 2026
I am also excited to announce that Shockwave Therapy is coming to Physical Health Physiotherapy this November!
As part of our commitment to providing effective, evidence-informed treatment options, we're introducing shockwave therapy to complement our existing physiotherapy and rehabilitation services.
What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted acoustic pressure waves applied to the affected area.
It is commonly used in the management of certain persistent tendon and soft-tissue conditions, particularly when symptoms have not improved sufficiently with initial treatment and rehabilitation.
Shockwave therapy may be considered for conditions such as:
Plantar fasciitis (plantar heel pain) – persistent discomfort around the heel and underside of the foot.
Achilles tendinopathy – pain and stiffness affecting the Achilles tendon.
Patellar tendinopathy – often associated with repetitive jumping and sporting activity.
Tennis elbow – persistent pain around the outside of the elbow.
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome – pain around the outside of the hip.
Certain other persistent tendon conditions – depending on clinical assessment and suitability.
At Physical Health, we believe that effective treatment begins with an accurate assessment and a clear understanding of the individual.
Shockwave therapy is not appropriate for every condition or patient, and it is not intended to replace a structured rehabilitation programme.
Where clinically appropriate, it may be incorporated alongside progressive strengthening, load management and other physiotherapy interventions.
Our aim is always to recommend treatments based on clinical need, available evidence and each patient's goals.
We'll be sharing more information about shockwave therapy, including treatment availability and how to book, as we approach November.
🧘 Physio-Led Pilates: Building Strength, Stability and Confidence in Movement
Alongside our expanding physiotherapy services, we're continuing to develop our physiotherapy-led Pilates offering.
Pilates can be an excellent way to improve strength, flexibility, balance, coordination and body awareness.
However, what makes physiotherapy-led Pilates particularly valuable is the clinical knowledge and understanding of movement that underpins each session.
Our approach combines Pilates principles with physiotherapy expertise, helping individuals exercise in a way that is appropriate for their abilities, physical limitations and goals.
For individuals recovering from injury or managing an existing condition, Pilates exercises can be adapted to suit their needs.
At Physical Health, we recognise that movement should be accessible, enjoyable and sustainable.
Our goal is to help people build strength and confidence while developing habits that support their long-term physical health.
Whether you're completely new to Pilates or looking to return to regular exercise, our team can help you explore the most suitable options.
Continuing to Invest in Our Clinics and Patient Experience
While welcoming new team members and introducing additional treatments are exciting milestones, they're just one part of my wider plans for Physical Health.
Since taking over the clinic, I have been working to develop the business while maintaining the personalised, patient-centred approach that sits at the heart of everything we do.
Over recent months, I've also introduced our newly redesigned website, making it easier for patients to explore our services, meet the team and book appointments online.
We've been developing our digital presence, improving communication with patients and exploring new opportunities to enhance the rehabilitation services available across our clinics.
With access to treatment facilities, rehabilitation gyms and hydrotherapy facilities, we're fortunate to be able to support patients through different stages of recovery.
From the initial assessment and early rehabilitation to progressive strengthening and returning to everyday activities or sport, our aim is to provide continuity of care throughout the process.
Looking Ahead: There's Plenty More to Come!
I am incredibly excited about the next chapter for Physical Health Physiotherapy.
Growing our team, introducing shockwave therapy and continuing to develop our Pilates and rehabilitation services are just some of the improvements we're making.
And there's plenty more in the pipeline!
Over the coming months, we'll be sharing further updates, introducing more of our team, providing educational content and giving you a closer look at what happens behind the scenes at Physical Health.
Most importantly, we'll continue listening to our patients and looking for ways to make our services even better.
I'd like to thank everyone who has supported Physical Health throughout this period of growth.Whether you've been a patient for years, recently visited us for the first time or recommended us to a friend or family member, your support means a great deal to the whole team.
We're proud of what we're building and look forward to welcoming you into this exciting next chapter.
Here's to helping more people move better, recover stronger and live well.
