Chiku Chilufya

I’ve combined my passion for sports and healthcare into my career, beginning with earning a BSc in Sports Therapy in 2016. My initial work in lower league football and various gym settings built my expertise in managing athletes and health enthusiasts. After advancing my education with a master’s degree in Physiotherapy in 2019, I transitioned my skills to the NHS, where I’ve garnered varied experiences across Neuro, Medical wards, Trauma, Orthopaedics, and now specialising in musculoskeletal care. I’m particularly adept at assessing complex cases and managing patients with multiple co-morbidities, excelling in post-operative care for orthopaedic patients and strength and conditioning. My journey highlights my dedication to clinical excellence and broadens my scope as a physiotherapist.

I believe in a holistic approach to patient care, tailored to meet individuals at their current level of health and well-being. By integrating a comprehensive treatment regimen that includes education, personalised advice, targeted exercise prescriptions, and the specialised technique of acupuncture— for which I have undergone extensive training—I aim to address the root cause of health issues, not just the symptoms. My practice is dedicated to empowering patients through informed choices and innovative treatments, ensuring a path to recovery that is asunique as they are.

I am currently doing a masters module in first Contact Practise, to advance my skills within primary care and my ability to screen for medical causes that may present as MSK conditions. Outside of this course – I am a keen on fitness, I love boxing, and have a strong affinity to weightlifting. I enjoy socialising with family and friends and going on as many holidays as I can!
