BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy MCSP HCPC

Simon trained at Brunel University in West London. Since then, he has gained extensive experience in numerous settings and locations from NHS clinics in Surrey to private clinics in Tower Bridge, Ealing and Harley Street.

In 2013, he founded Physio and Pilates Central (formerly Physiotherapy Central). After establishing a clinic in Richmond, the next step was to open the flagship clinic in Wimbledon, which he and Suzanne opened in 2016. The focus is to ensure the highest quality of care and be a renowned centre of excellence for the provision of physiotherapy and Pilates.

Clinically, Simon has worked with athletes in a variety of sports including rugby, jiu-jitsu, weightlifting and football, as well as more casual exercisers and fun-runners.

Simon is extremely passionate about sport and knows as well as anyone the frustration of enforced time off due to injury. His sporting interests include triathlon, rugby, football, skiing and trail running (amongst others), although these days he spends most of his time on a bike or snowboard.

His experience in these sports ensures that he has an excellent understanding of the specific demands of each, and is subsequently able to provide a superb level of treatment and rehabilitation to minimise time out of sport and to reduce the risk of injury recurrence.

As well as sports injuries, Simon has a particular interest in back and neck pain, and the numerous structures and factors that contribute to problems in these areas.

He always ensures that you have a good understanding of the underlying cause of your condition, thus enabling you to do little things to help yourself in addition to the treatment provided.

BSc in Sports Science, Brunel University | MSc in Physiotherapy, King's College London

Fionn specialises in getting active people back to doing what they love – whether that’s sport, or simply moving without pain.

He completed his BSc in Sports Science at Brunel University before going on to complete his MSc in Physiotherapy at King’s College London. Alongside his work for Physio and Pilates Central, he currently works as a senior MSK physiotherapist within the NHS, and between the two roles he has developed extensive experience in musculoskeletal, sports and orthopaedic rehabilitation. He also holds a Level 4 sports massage qualification.

Clinically, Fionn treats a broad range of MSK conditions, with a particular focus on:

• ⁠Lower limb and running injuries: ACL rehabilitation, meniscal injuries, patellofemoral pain, patellar tendinopathy, Achilles tendinopathy and rupture, and ankle and knee instability.
• Shoulder conditions: including rotator cuff-related pain and atraumatic or multidirectional instability.
• Persistent pain: chronic lower back pain and hip and knee osteoarthritis.

Fionn has a strong interest in rehabilitation and enjoys working with patients throughout the entire recovery process. His approach combines detailed assessment, clinical reasoning, patient education, progressive exercise rehabilitation and manual therapy. He particularly enjoys taking patients from the early stages of injury through to higher-level strength, power, conditioning and sport-specific work, helping them return safely and confidently to the activities they love.

Outside of physiotherapy, Fionn is passionate about staying active and currently trains in Muay Thai, having previously practised Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. His background in combat sports has given him first-hand insight into the physical demands of training and what it takes to come back from injury – something his patients benefit from every session.
