Priyaa Rajkumar
Senior Physiotherapist & Holistic Practitioner
I qualified as a physiotherapist in 2001 in South Africa where I worked in private practices for a little over three years. Having moved to the UK in 2005, I worked for the NHS in North London specialising in respiratory, neurology, orthopaedics, elderly rehab, community and cardiac rehabilitation. When I ventured to the south side of town, I worked part-time in two local private hospitals mainly managing post-surgical orthopaedic patients. I joined the MyPhysio Croydon team in 2017. Over the years, I have completed several post graduate courses, including Acupuncture, Myofascial release, Pilates matwork, strength and conditioning, Shockwave therapy and manipulation. I enjoy the diversity of people who walk into the practice every day. I am passionate about helping patients make positive changes in their lives to achieve their goals and return to a better, more informed version of themselves. I am experienced in treating a wide variety of patients from neck pain to post traumatic rehabilitation through education, hands on therapy and exercises to assist in their recovery. My area of special interest at the practice is Acupuncture. I am a keen runner, swimmer and enjoy being out in the natural world – and just to prove it, in 2018 I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro! I also have a keen interest in holistic therapies such as Reiki and Ayurveda.

I am proud to work at My physio Croydon, providing excellent and efficient rehabilitation to the people of south London. I am a strong believer in tailored, individual hands on and exercise-based therapy using both my extensive clinical experience and evidence-based knowledge. I have the benefit of more than 10 years’ experience of working in the NHS, the private sector and within an elite sports setting. Since graduating from Brunel Physiotherapy in 2009 I have gained experience working in all corners of the profession before specialising in trauma and elective orthopaedics and musculoskeletal physiotherapy. For the initial part of my career, I worked at both Ipswich and Colchester hospitals alongside working in the private setting for a well-established private clinic in Suffolk. In 2017 I made the leap to the bright lights of London to work for a specialist private physiotherapy company on Fleet Street where I specialised in the rehabilitation of clients ranging from walking problems to marathon running and I gained valuable experience managing a plethora of musculoskeletal conditions. Here I was also heavily involved in both mat and equipment based pilates and I maintain a keen interest in this area.

Beccy West
Beccy West
Body Control Pilates Instructor & Cognitive Behavioural Therapist
Beccy discovered Pilates following a back injury. She found that Pilates offered her a positive way forward through the physical pain which became mentally exhausting, especially whilst also working in a busy high-pressured job. Beccy decided she wanted to continue to explore her interest in Pilates in more detail, so she began her training with Body Control Pilates and became a qualified teacher in 2014. Since then, she has worked to help others rehabilitate and manage their own injuries, whilst continuing to work in the corporate environment. She is also pre and post-natal qualified. Beccy also holds a master’s in organizational psychology and a diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy so she can bridge the gap between understanding how everyday career stress links to our overall emotional wellbeing, and how emotional well-being impacts on our bodies. Beccy is our resident Pilates Instructor and offers session on our Pilates reformer. In her spare time Beccy likes to practice what she preaches! So, she attends Pilates classes regularly and supplements this with weight training sessions. She also loves to socialise with her friends.

FAQs

Do I need a doctor’s referral to get an appointment?

This may be necessary if you a planning on claiming on your private medical insurance to pay for the cost of the sessions.  It is a good idea to check with the insurer first and to inform your doctor that you are considering physiotherapy. 

With your agreement, your doctor may be contacted about your injury/condition.

What will happen at my appointment?

During your appointment, your physiotherapist will ask the history of your condition and relevant past medical history will be discussed.  You will be physically examined, and a series of tests will be conducted to help form a diagnosis.

We will discuss the estimated timescale for recovery and the suggested physiotherapy intervention that you will require and during the session, you will be able to ask any questions you may have regarding your condition.

Do I need to bring anything with me?

Comfortable clothing that adequately exposes the area being treated is advised. 

If you are claiming from private medical insurance you will need to bring your policy details – specifically your membership number, authorization number and the number of sessions you have been given.

What will happen if I cancel my appointment?

It’s fine to cancel or change your appointment although we ask for 24 hours’ notice, so we have enough time to book in another patient.  If you do not arrive for a booked appointment or allow us the required notice you will be charged the full fee. 

Can I have a Chaperone with me?

Yes, you can bring someone else with you if you wish. 

If you are 15 years and under, you MUST bring an adult who is responsible for you and will be in attendance at all times during your treatment. 

If you are 16 or 17 years old, you may attend on your own but MUST have signed consent by your parent or guardian prior to your visit. 

If you need an independent chaperone, please contact us so that we can discuss your needs and make suitable arrangements prior to your first and subsequent visits.

Is there parking?

Yes, there are two off-street parking bays available but parking is at your own risk, and free road parking is available in Sherwood Road (subject to availability).
