Amit Rao

Amit Rao is the Clinical Director and Lead Physiotherapist at Physical Wellness, bringing more than two decades of clinical experience and a strong commitment to delivering high-quality, evidence-based physiotherapy. Since beginning his career in 2002, he has dedicated himself to helping people overcome pain, restore movement, and improve their overall quality of life. His approach combines the latest scientific research with skilled manual therapy techniques, enabling patients to achieve lasting results and return to the activities they enjoy.

Throughout his career, Amit has gained extensive experience across a variety of healthcare settings, including the NHS, BUPA, orthopaedic services, community rehabilitation teams, care homes and sports physiotherapy environments. This diverse background has allowed him to develop a comprehensive understanding of musculoskeletal conditions, complex rehabilitation needs, and the importance of tailoring treatment to each individual.

Amit holds Master's-level qualifications in Physiotherapy and Injection Therapy, reflecting his commitment to advanced clinical practice and professional development. Most recently, he became a verified First Contact Physiotherapist (FCP) in primary care, enabling him to provide expert assessment, diagnosis, and treatment at the earliest stage of a patient's healthcare journey.

His specialist areas of expertise include musculoskeletal physiotherapy, arthritis management, manual therapy, injection therapy, sports injury rehabilitation, community rehabilitation, elderly care, and First Contact Physiotherapy within primary care settings. His broad clinical expertise allows him to support patients with a wide range of conditions, from acute injuries and sports-related problems to persistent musculoskeletal conditions and complex rehabilitation cases.

In addition to leading services at Physical Wellness, Amit also holds clinics at The Harborne Hospital in Birmingham, where he provides specialist physiotherapy assessment and treatment for patients seeking expert musculoskeletal care. His role across both settings allows him to deliver seamless, patient-centred care while maintaining the highest clinical standards.

At the heart of Amit's practice is a belief in personalised, holistic care. He focuses on treating the whole person rather than simply managing symptoms, working closely with each patient to understand their goals, lifestyle, and individual challenges. By providing clear guidance, evidence-based treatment, and ongoing support, he empowers patients to take an active role in their recovery and long-term health. Amit is passionate about building strong, trusting relationships and helping people achieve meaningful, sustainable improvements in their wellbeing.
