At MSK & Sports Physio in Harrow, our founder Param holds an MSc in Sports Medicine and has worked with athletes across football, running, tennis, climbing, rugby and more. We don't just rest you — we build you back stronger with sport-specific testing and return-to-play criteria.

I have an event coming up — can you help me train through this injury?

Often yes. Smart load management lets many athletes continue training while rehabbing. We'll assess what's safe and structure your rehab around your event.

Do you work with running gait analysis?

Yes. We do detailed running assessment to identify biomechanical factors driving recurring injuries — and prescribe specific drills to fix them.
