BSc Sports Therapy & Rehab

Having qualified as a Physiotherapist in 2010, Vasant has over 15 years of practice experience in clinical and on-field sports environment. He has worked with professional athletes, recreational athletes and general population from all over the world with complex cases and conditions. He graduated from Middlesex University London with a MSc degree in Sports and Exercise Science with majors in Applied Human Biomechanics.

He currently works for the NHS, assessing and treating musculoskeletal, orthopaedic cases in Primary and Secondary care as an Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner (APP). He has acquired specialization in treating pre and post operative knee conditions: ACL, PCL, Meniscus, MCL, LCL, knee replacement rehabilitation, bursitis and tendinopathy. His current research is focused on investigating Hamstring: Quadriceps activation ratio using surface EMG and Isokinetic Dynamometer in professional athletes and identification of knee injury risk

Vasant specializes in diagnosis and developing bespoke plans for prehab and rehab for shoulder conditions in athletic population and geriatric population. Since shoulder is not just a joint but a complex, it needs a complex expertise for functional diagnosis and treatment.

As an educationalist, he teaches Applied Human Biomechanics at Institute of Sports, University of Hertfordshire. His teaching focus is on kinetics and kinematics of lower body (hip, knee & ankle) in dynamic explosive movements.

​Studies Undertaken:

1. Investigating Hamstring:
Quadriceps activation ratio using surface EMG and Isokinetic Dynamometer in professional athletes and identification of knee injury risk.

2. Identification of tibial stress in running with barefoot, minimalistic footwear, and conventional shoes
In recreational athletes using force plate, motion capture system and accelerometer.

3. A compressive shoulder assessment strategies.

4. Tracking muscle activity of gluteal region and their impact on running mechanics: Kinematic study.

5. Chronic ankle instability in agility sports.

With over six years of experience in sports rehabilitation and musculoskeletal care, Simon is a dedicated, fully qualified physiotherapist based in London. He holds a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy from London South Bank University and a Bachelor’s degree in Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation from the University of Bedfordshire.

Simon’s clinical experience spans elite sport and NHS hospital settings, giving him a strong foundation in managing a wide range of conditions. During his MSc, he worked with a London-based rugby club, providing injury rehabilitation, hands-on treatment, strapping and taping, and tailored exercise programmes to help athletes return to peak performance.

He also gained significant hospital experience across Neurology, Cardiorespiratory, and Surgical wards, including work in paediatric care. This experience enables him to engage confidently with younger patients and support their physical development.

Now being integral part of PHYSIOGENICS in St John's Wood, Simon specialises in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and sports rehab. He provides targeted rehabilitation plans for knee injuries, including ACL recovery, patellofemoral pain, and post-operative care, helping patients regain strength, stability, and confidence in movement.

Simon is known for his calm, supportive manner and practical, results-driven approach, working with athletes, active individuals, and those recovering from injury to help them move better and feel stronger.
