After completing school, Neil pursued a professional cricket career that spanned 14 successful years. During this time, he represented Essex County and played for the England team for 11 years. His international cricketing career took him around the world, competing in Australia, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and the West Indies.

Throughout his time as a professional athlete, Neil faced various sports-related injuries, which sparked his interest in physiotherapy. Upon retiring from cricket, he enrolled at the University of Hertfordshire, where he earned a degree in physiotherapy in 2003.

Neil then dedicated the next 23 years to private practice, specialising in sports injury management and rehabilitation, with a particular focus on myofascial taping techniques. His practice expanded to include managing injuries resulting from car accidents, especially those affecting the spine and related to whiplash. The high demand for his expertise in this area led Neil to become a Medico-legal expert, serving on the Medco panel for several years.

More recently, Neil was actively involved in the care home sector, where he has developed a keen interest in geriatric and neurological conditions. He aims to hone his skills in this area further while working with Align.

In addition to his hands-on experience, Neil holds certifications in a wide range of specialised physiotherapy techniques, including:

• Acupuncture and Dry Needling

• Trigger Point Therapy

• Therapeutic Ultrasound

• Infrared Laser Therapy

• Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy

• Myofascial Kinesiotaping (Fundamental and Advanced Applications)

• Mulligan Manual Therapy Concept (The Upper Quadrant)

• Chronic Pain Assessment and Management in Adults

• Balance Rehabilitation: Translating Research into Clinical Practice

• Medico-Legal Assessment (Medco Panel)

Neil’s extensive experience and diverse skill set make him a highly qualified and versatile physiotherapist, dedicated to delivering expert care across a broad range of patient needs.

With a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from Riverside College, Philippines, Karol brings a unique fusion of clinical expertise, athletic performance, and movement rehabilitation to Align Wellness Studio. His specialisations include Manual Therapy, Softwave TRT, Redcord Neurac Therapy, and Blood Flow Restriction Training—offering patients a comprehensive approach to recovery and optimisation.

A former fitness trainer and coach for competitive frisbee athletes, Karol understands the demands of elite performance and the importance of biomechanical harmony. His approach prioritises core stability, fascial system integration, and injury prevention, ensuring long-term resilience for both athletes and individuals seeking holistic rehabilitation.

A lifelong athlete, Karol practises what he preaches. As a marathoner, triathlete, and multisport enthusiast, he has firsthand experience with the physical and mental rigours of peak performance. His dual perspective—both clinician and competitor—enables him to treat not just symptoms but root causes, helping patients reclaim strength, mobility, and confidence in their bodies.

Karol believes that the body speaks in patterns, not isolated complaints. Whether identifying how ankle tension affects shoulder mobility or how core instability impacts running mechanics, his treatment approach is designed to resolve dysfunction at its source, ensuring lasting results.

Beyond the Clinic Away from physiotherapy, Karol lives by the mantra: All work and no play makes for a stiff fascia. When he’s not refining movement mechanics, you’ll find him plotting chess strategies at a café or perfecting trick shots in billiards—after all, aligning a pelvis isn’t so different from lining up a perfect bank shot!

For Karol, recovery isn’t just about therapy sessions—it’s about staying curious, playful, and embracing health as a rhythm, not a grind.
