Our Physiotherapy Team.
Led by Clinical Director Dave Hunt, our physiotherapy team brings decades of combined experience across the NHS, private practice and elite sport.
Rachel Lightfoot
I have 14 years of experience as a chartered physiotherapist working across both the NHS and private sector.
I currently also work at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital where I have worked for the last 10 years, assessing and treating people with a broad range of musculoskeletal injuries. I specialise in lower limb injuries and have significant experience treating people following orthopaedic surgery including joint replacements, arthroscopy, osteotomies and orthopaedic oncology surgeries.
I have a postgraduate certificate in rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries and I'm working towards converting this to a full masters degree in sports injury rehabilitation. I enjoy running in my spare time, which drives my passion to support rehabilitation of runners of all abilities.
