Director/Founder
Following
an 11 year career as a professional dancer Tony graduated from
the four year physiotherapy honours degree programme from Kings
College University in 1995. He then spent 5 years working at
two of London’s leading teaching hospitals gaining a wide
variety of experience before specialising in neuromusculoskeletal
physiotherapy.
In

injury and dance medicine/rehabilitation. Tony has worked as a
physiotherapist with Rambert Dance Company and Merce Cunningham
Dance Company.
He
is committed to continuing professional development and has completed
a postgraduate Certificate in Sports physiotherapy, he is currently
completing exams for membership of the Manipulation Association
of Chartered Physiotherapists (MACP).
Tony
undertook his clinical Pilates training with Polestar Pilates
in 2001 and was an educator for Polestar on their clinical Pilates
courses. He has also taught in the area of clinical Pilates/rehabilitation
for the Pilates Foundation, Alan Herdman Studio and individual
physiotherapy and Pilates studios in London.
Tony’s
core belief is that as physiotherapists we do not just treat symptoms
but aim to identify the cause. Our aim should be to identify,
treat with the combination of skills and adjuncts at our disposal,
resolve, educate and prevent recurrence.
Having been a dancer Tony maintains his fitness with regular ballet
class, Pilates, swimming and running (still trying to dip under
3 hours for London). Tony has studied Pilates, Gyrotonics and
Gyrokinesis as a client with many renowned teachers. He is also
a black belt in Taekwondo and in between times tries to play jazz
guitar to “relax”.
