Our Physiotherapists

Rob Galloway, physiotherapist and applied kinesiology practitioner:

Rob is a state registered Physiotherapist with over ten years of musculoskeletal experience practicing in private and corporate physiotherapy clinics, now exclusively in the Central London Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinics. He is not an ordinary physiotherapist, as he uses a broad range of treatments such as soft tissue work, massage, mobilisation, manipulation, ultrasound, acupuncture and stretching to release stiff joints, regain muscular strength and balance, aid healing of strained or sprained muscles and ligaments, also to mobilise bound neurological structures with the aim of restoring pain free movements of the body so you can return to your work sport or leisure activities as soon as possible. Other practitioners often refer to him when their patients might have muscle or joint problems that are influenced by mineral or vitamin imbalances or if they expect organic involvement. Pilates based core stability exercises, ergonomic advice and aids, coupled with rehabilitation exercise programmes are given to strengthen the body and alter habits, which may cause re-injury, with the aim of making the effect of the treatments long lasting. Post graduate courses include Acupuncture, Applied Kinesiology, Myofascial work and Cranial Sacral systems in order to offer treatment, when required, which taps into the subtle systems in the body with the intension of releasing, unblocking and allowing the body to return to healthy patterns of being. Rob is a registered physiotherapist with all the major private health insurances incl. BUPA and AXA PPP.

Chris Romero, osteopath and physiotherapist:

Qualified as a physiotherapist in 2003, he decided to further improve his treatment skills by becoming an osteopath as well. He is one of the very few in UK to do both physiotherapy and osteopathy. Having been a semi-professional football player in Spain gives him the first hand insight into sports injuries and training, which is one of the areas, where Central London Physiotherapy and Sports Injury Clinics excel above most. Chris is registered with all the major private health insurances but not AXA PPP and BUPA.

Susana Tous, physiotherapy in London:

:

Member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy, HCPC registered. Susana is an experienced Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist with a strong background in injury rehabilitation.

Her interest in Physiotherapy and Sports Medicine started at a very early age, whilst she was training in the Spanish National tennis team, where she spent a lot of her time receiving treatment for different injuries. Susana obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Medicine in 1995 whilst representing an American University tennis team. Spent the next few years assessing and managing sports related injuries, getting athletes back to their sport safely. Later on qualified as a Physiotherapist in London to become more competent treating a wider range of patients, not to be confined to treating athletes or sports injuries. For the last few years she has developed my expertise in treating a wide variety of patients and conditions.

She listens to ner patient’s needs very carefully, addressing the causes of their injury as well as their symptoms to produce a diagnosis and treatment tailored specifically to their needs and goals. In her practice, she uses manipulation/mobilisations techniques, trigger point therapy, tapping, muscle energy techniques, adverse neurodynamics combined with rehabilitation exercise programs for patients to return to their work, sport or hobby as soon as possible. Postgraduate courses include, Acupuncture, advanced spinal manipulation techniques, K tapping, Functional Movement Screening, myofascial release and pain management.
She truly enjoys working with her patients, being 100% committed to help them achieve their goals.
Susana is registered as a physiotherapist with most major health insurances but not BUPA and AXA/PPP who in 2016/7 are reducing benefits per treatment and not allowing their members to top up. This will not make it viable for most clinics in Central London to work with them. We are therefore restricting our BUPA treatments to one osteopath, Tracy Davies and one physiotherapist, Robert Galloway until further notice. AXA/PPP have reduced their benefit to a level that makes it impossible for us to work with them.

Yannick is a registered physiotherapist in Belgium but only working as an osteopath until further notice in this clinic while his application to work as a physiotherapist in London goes through..
