ABOUT
GENUINE PHYSIO

Luke Schembri — advanced physiotherapist in Tadworth (Genuine Physio)
Shoulder assessment in clinic — Genuine Physio, Tadworth

Based in Lower Kingswood (Tadworth), minutes from Kingswood, I help over-40s reduce pain, rebuild confidence and get back to what they love. I have a special interest in osteoarthritis (OA) and complex MSK, offering care in-clinic and online.

​​

How I work

  • Thorough history and physical examination

  • Clear working diagnosis and step-by-step rehab plan

  • Imaging (X-ray/ultrasound/MRI) only if it would change your care

  • Joined-up care: I coordinate referrals for injections or surgical opinions when appropriate and we can discuss the pros and cons of both

  • I also see people for second opinions when things haven’t improved after previous care

​​​​Training & credentials

  • BSc (Hons) Sport & Exercise Science — University of Winchester (2011)

  • MSc Physiotherapy - St George's, London (2014)

  • Diploma in Musculoskeletal Medicine; postgraduate modules across spine, upper and lower limb; soft-tissue/joint injection therapy

  • Experience: NHS Extended Scope roles & private practice with recreational and elite athletes

  • HCPC, CSP & MACP member​​

​Experience highlights

Over 14 years I’ve worked across leading London and Surrey services, including Barts Health (The Royal London), St George’s University Hospitals and the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC), collaborating closely with world-renowned orthopaedic surgeons. This blend of NHS and private work means you get pragmatic, evidence-based care and access to a trusted referral network when needed.​

​Genuine Physio: how it started

During lockdown I began Genuine Physio to deliver accessible, evidence-based care from home and to challenge unhelpful myths about joint pain. That grew into today’s clinic—now offering both face-to-face and virtual consultations. I also share practical advice on YouTube and Instagram to help people keep moving with confidence.

​​

I also run the Genuine Physio YouTube channel, where I share short, reassuring videos on OA and other over 40s health topics.
