About Us

About Us

At Physio Fitness, our journey began with a clear vision: to create a physiotherapy clinic that goes beyond traditional treatment. Founded in North London, we saw the need for a holistic approach that not only resolves pain and rehabilitates injuries but also empowers individuals with the strength and knowledge to prevent future issues and live an active life.

We believe that true recovery involves understanding your body, building resilience, and integrating healthy movement into your daily routine. This philosophy drives everything we do, from our personalised assessments to our comprehensive treatment plans that combine expert hands-on therapy, cutting-edge modalities like Shockwave Therapy and Electrotherapy, and tailored exercise rehabilitation, all delivered with compassion at our Hampstead and Finchley clinics.

Tisha Shah

MSc MCSP Senior Physiotherapist

Tisha brings both clinical excellence and genuine compassion to her role at Physio Fitness. She completed her Postgraduate degree in Musculoskeletal and Sports Physiotherapy at Nitte University, India, where she developed advanced knowledge in the assessment and treatment of complex musculoskeletal and sports-related conditions. With over five years of UK-based experience in MSK practice, Tisha has worked extensively with patients presenting with a wide range of conditions — from everyday aches and persistent joint pain to acute sports injuries and complex post-operative rehabilitation cases.

Her experience spans orthopaedic, cardiothoracic, and neurological rehabilitation, giving her a broad and well-rounded clinical perspective. Having worked within the NHS as well as in private practice, Tisha understands how to tailor her approach to each individual — whether supporting someone returning to competitive sport or helping a patient regain confidence after surgery. Her treatment style combines hands-on expertise with evidence-based rehabilitation.

Tisha is highly skilled in deep soft tissue release techniques, joint mobilisation, electrotherapy, and structured exercise therapy programmes designed to restore strength, mobility, and long-term resilience. She focuses not just on symptom relief, but on identifying and addressing the root cause of dysfunction to prevent recurrence.

At the core of Tisha’s practice is her belief that recovery is a journey — and physiotherapy
provides the direction. She is passionate about guiding her patients step by step, ensuring that every session builds meaningful progress toward healing. Her calm, reassuring manner helps patients feel supported, empowered, and confident throughout their rehabilitation. We are delighted to welcome Tisha to the Physio Fitness team, where her knowledge, skill, and compassionate approach will make a real difference to our clients’ recovery.
