Jack Chew
BookJack founded Chews Health in 2013 as a company for his clinical consultancy, offering second opinions to local sports clubs and teams whose therapists and coaches were struggling to mastermind the recovery of some of their key athletes. As his philosophy and methods spread across the Physio profession and MSK industry a consultancy network emerged and eventually Chews Health services were sought after enough to need a bespoke facility.
Alongside his role as MD of Chews Health, Jack hosts The Physio Matters Podcast – a monthly show which goes out to over 20,000 therapists and is the director of MSKReform – a non-profit think-tank which is tasked with improving the industry to reduce the unjust variations in care standards. He lives locally with his wife Charlotte and their identical twin boys who are affectionately known across social media as ‘Test and Control’!Jack founded Chews Health in 2013 as a company for his clinical consultancy, offering second opinions to local sports clubs and teams whose therapists and coaches were struggling to mastermind the recovery of some of their key athletes.

27 Nov 2025 Google5.0Jack and the rest of the Chews Team have been very supportive of our whole family through a variety of injuries over the past few years. From a personal viewpoint, I wouldn't have made the start line for recent half or full marathons without the support, advice and treatment Jack has provided as my body threw up a number of challenges to full fitness. The team provide a friendly, relaxed service, catering for the full spectrum of ailments, age-ranges from full-blown athlete to sedentary seniors. Would recommend to anyone looking for a local physio

24 Nov 2025 Google5.0I’ve had a fantastic experience with Chews Health Timperley. The clinic is modern, welcoming, and professionally run, with the added bonus of on-site parking and a well-equipped gym space that makes rehab sessions really effective. I’ve been working with Leah, who has been brilliant throughout my recovery from a knee injury. Her knowledge, clear guidance, and tailored approach have helped me get back on the road with confidence. She’s also provided excellent strength and conditioning exercises to support my training for a marathon in April. I genuinely feel in safe hands and can’t recommend her highly enough. Overall, a top-quality physiotherapy service and a great team. Highly recommended!

11 Nov 2025 Google5.0Working with Jack has been transformation over the past 2 1/2 years through injury management and a regular tailored strength and conditioning programme. I've gone from the belief i'd be hanging up my hockey stick and ski's at 60+ to being more active than ever. Jack's tailored approach to listening to, and taking what I want to be able to do, and developing the right S and C plan to manage arthritis in both knees has been game changing. It's a problem to manage and work on not to give up on! Thanks Jack for keeping me on the right path, giving me the belief and confidence to keep being active be it hockey, walking, golf, or skiing !
