A Fact About Me
I captained my football team to a league and cup double winning season when I was at school

A Bit About Me

Ayush is a dedicated physiotherapist with a strong academic and sporting background. He graduated from King’s College London with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Science before completing his Master of Science degree in Physiotherapy at London South Bank University. Ayush is a registered member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP) & Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and is committed to delivering evidence-based care to help patients return to their best.

Ayush has developed a special interest in football physiotherapy, having worked closely with a number of semi-professional football clubs providing pitch-side medical support, injury management and rehabilitation for athletes. He holds the Level 2 FA Emergency First Aid in Football (EFAiF) qualification, allowing him to deliver immediate care within the sporting environment.

Alongside his football experience, Ayush has completed a wide range of NHS clinical placements, gaining experience across acute general medicine, community stroke rehabilitation and specialist paediatric care. These experiences have provided him with a broad understanding of patient care across multiple clinical settings.

Ayush has a particular interest in sports rehabilitation, strength training and return-to-play management, working closely with individuals to restore confidence, optimise performance and reduce the risk of re-injury. He is also qualified in Level 3 ITEC Sports Massage and incorporates soft tissue techniques and dry needling into his treatment approach where appropriate.

Outside of the clinic, Ayush enjoys playing and following football and cricket and has a keen interest in athletic performance and strength training.

HIGH LEVEL SUPPORT

Here at Crouch Physio, we offer the highest level of support to all of our clients. This includes being able to text or email any of our specialists between appointments.
We offer this high level support because we have seen that this drastically reduces expected recovery time for our clients which allows them to get back to normal activities quicker.

EDUCATION

Here at Crouch Physio, we will make sure to educate each and every single one of our clients on their diagnosis and how to best manage when away from the clinic setting. ⁣
We do this because education has been consistently shown across literature to be one of the most important factors for a quick and efficient recovery.
So don’t just expect to come into our clinic and receive ONLY manual based treatments. Although we do offer great symptom relieving treatments, evidence shows that its effectiveness increases with good patient education.

OBJECTIVE TESTING

Here at Crouch Physio, we don’t do guesswork. We use the latest technology to provide us clinicians with numerical objective data which allows us to apply the correct interventions at the right time.
Objectively assessing outcome measures also gives our patients confidence that they are improving under our care, as well as allowing them to monitor their own progress.
So whether you’re an active person trying to get stronger or a sedentary individual suffering pain/stiffness, you will know that your condition is improving with our specialist assessment tools.

TAILORED REHABILITATION

Here at Crouch Physio, we have access to the very best rehabilitation amenities, the same facilities used by premier league football players and other elite athletes.
Unlike most Physiotherapy clinics, our clients will split their time with their physio between the clinic room, gym area and our upstairs studio where you’ll find our VALD performance force-plates, allowing for a more in-depth assessment and individualised plans.
Upon your initial consultation with us, we will likely use the latest technology to obtain as much baseline data as we can, which allows our physiotherapists to make smarter/more informed decisions around client care.
Our world class facilities allow for us to safely and gradually phase our clients back to their baseline level of physical activity before injury.
