  Karol is a Graduate Sports Therapist, helping patients recover from injury, rebuild strength, and return to activity with confidence.

  Karol holds a degree in Sports Therapy from Solent University and has experience working alongside osteopaths and physical therapists in the UK. He has supported athletes, gym-goers, and active individuals with post-surgery rehabilitation, sport-specific recovery, and strength rebuilding.
  
  Karol combines clinical knowledge with lived athletic experience, taking an empathetic, results-driven approach to help patients move better, feel stronger, and return to the activities they enjoy.
  
  Outside the clinic, he stays active through football, gym training, and a range of sports including Muay Thai and golf.

  I have been going to PhysioSTAR with Karol for 9 months now due to a shoulder issue (still undiagnosed on NHS, likely some kind of impingement.) Initially it was so bad that I was not able to rotate my arm in most directions which severely limited my life, but with a few exercises I quickly regained most movement ability and have had full range of motion within about 6 to 8 weeks of visiting (roughly 3x visits) which I am grateful for. Returning strength and stability is a much longer term issue than I planned but nevertheless I appreciate the time, care and clear advice given to move in the right direction.

  I highly recommend my physiotherapist. He is professional, knowledgeable, and truly focused on helping you recover and improve. His approach is tailored to the individual, and he always looks for the root of the problem, not just the symptoms. Since working with him, I’ve seen a big improvement in my mobility, recovery, and overall performance. Great communication, great results — I couldn’t ask for more.

  After doing a good job of braking my leg last year I was keen to get back to being an active lady with walking, cycling and classes at the gym on the agenda. (Maybe not skiing!) Karol takes me through a controlled exercise regime to strengthen my leg. Each time I see him he has a plan of action for me to complete. He encourages me and is always keen to hear how I am progressing in my day to day life. He then adjusts any exercises for me to fit my needs. I look forward to and enjoy my sessions with Karol. Through his careful monitoring I’m getting stronger all the time. And yes I’m back on my bike, I walk everyday and I’m black at the classes I enjoy all thanks to Karol and his professional help and guidance.

  I have been a patient of Karol for over a year. Karol is always well - prepared for our therapy and ensures that the exercises are varied, interesting and effective. Karol is extremely knowledgeable about what he does, is friendly and always greets patiences with a smile. I'm happy with flexibility of our time, 30 min is devoted to exercise and the remaining 30 to muscles relaxation massage. This way suits me very well. Karol is always happy to answer my questions and motivates me to continue exercising at home and taking care of myself. A very big thank you. I can wholeheartedly recommend him!

  Karol has given me an excellent rehab programme tailored to my abilities. He has also explained in detail the results from various scans done within the NHS. This has allowed me to adjust my rehab programme to take my existing injuries into account. Above all, Karol has given me the confidence to return to the gym and continue to train with a tailored programme. I would recommend his services to anyone with a sports injury who wants to recover and get back to being active.
