Chartered Physiotherapist specialising in Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
Having qualified as a Physiotherapist in 2001, following a brief career in finance in the City of London, Owen really wanted to become a Physio! He has worked in private practice since 2010 having spent formative and important years working across the NHS including critical care, stroke rehab, post surgical rehab and musculoskeletal outpatients. This extensive medical experience working with doctors, nurses and health professionals ensures that the work of Trust Physio complements the treatments that our clients receive on the NHS. It also contributes to the high professional standards and safety that you can expect from Trust Physio.
Owen’s clients speak highly of the effectiveness of his manual therapy skills in quickly reducing pain and improving movement and function. Owen is passionate about keeping his clients “in the game”, whether that is sports, work or just enjoying everyday life without pain and dysfunction. Whilst not wanting to load his clients up with lots of homework, Owen works with his clients to enable them to understand and self manage their condition with appropriate exercises and stretching.
Owen works closely with neurological and orthopaedic surgeons working in private practice to ensure continuity of care for clients who require surgery or corticosteroid injections for their condition. Owen can also liaise with your GP regarding medication or onward referral to complement other treatment.
