Elite Physical Medicine

Elite Physical Medicine: physiotherapy and rehabilitation in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire

Elite Physical Medicine is a physiotherapy, rehabilitation and sports therapy clinic with practices in Aylesbury, Marlow, Tring and Watford. Its team combines chartered physiotherapists, doctors and specialists in various areas to treat both patients with lower back pain and performance athletes. The clinic presents itself as a space where care is tailored to each person's goals, from pain relief to returning to daily activity or competition.

Diagnostic and therapy services

The clinic offers a diagnostic ultrasound service that uses sound waves to produce images of muscles, tendons, ligaments and joints. Based on that assessment, treatments include manual therapy and massage, with techniques ranging from releasing tight muscles to mobilisations and manipulations to passively increase joint range of motion.

It also offers extracorporeal shockwave therapy, aimed at tendon problems such as plantar fasciitis and pain in the ankle, shoulder, knee and elbow. Acupuncture is used to stimulate nerves in muscles and tissues, promoting the release of endorphins and local circulation to improve muscle and joint stiffness.

Rehabilitation, movement analysis and women's health

The rehabilitation and recovery area adapts treatment to the patient's goals, whether seeking pain relief or returning to everyday activities. The clinic has a bespoke rehabilitation gym for ongoing patient use. For movement and gait analysis, it uses Dartfish technology, which helps identify imbalances between joints or asymmetries between affected and non-affected limbs. It also offers gait analysis for runners.

Women's health is covered by a dedicated physiotherapist who specialises in core and pelvic floor, with care for pregnancy, postnatal and any pelvic floor concerns. Sport and exercise psychology is aimed at both high-performance athletes seeking optimal performance and recreational athletes looking to improve their consistency.

Professional team

The team includes clinical director Andy McCrea, clinical specialist Tom Stainer and Dr Moiz Moghal, consultant in sport and exercise medicine. The staff is completed by chartered physiotherapists Ahmad Iqbal, Laura Fernandez, Logan Smith, Francesca Ryde and Matt Murray-Downing, along with chartered sport and exercise psychologist Adrienn Szabadics, massage therapist Nicolette Hayers, personal trainer and strength and conditioning coach Harry Lewis, neurological specialist Karen Blagojevic and women's health specialist Gemma West.

Specific classes and programmes

The clinic organises exercise classes for different stages and needs. The programme includes a pregnancy exercise class on Saturday mornings, a postnatal exercise class on Tuesday afternoons and a return to running class on Tuesday afternoons. These sessions are in addition to individual physiotherapy services.

Continuing education and health registration

Elite Physical Medicine maintains a commitment to the continuing professional development of its team. The clinic has obtained official registration from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) after passing an inspection, a recognition that endorses the quality of its healthcare services in the United Kingdom.
