Karan Shetty

I am a Chartered Physiotherapist with extensive experience across private musculoskeletal practice, elite academy football, and sports medicine. In my current role within a busy private MSK clinic, I assess, diagnose and manage a wide range of acute and persistent musculoskeletal conditions using evidence-based rehabilitation, manual therapy, exercise prescription and patient education. I also have experience in occupational health, return-to-work planning and delivering personalised rehabilitation programmes for patients with diverse functional goals.

Alongside my clinical practice, I work as a Sessional Academy Physiotherapist within professional football, providing medical support to academy players (U9–U16). My responsibilities include injury assessment, pitch-side emergency care, rehabilitation planning, return-to-play decision making, load management and close collaboration with coaches, strength and conditioning staff, and the wider multidisciplinary team.

My previous experience includes academy and match-day physiotherapy roles within professional and semi-professional football, a sports medicine placement at West Bromwich Albion FC, and physiotherapy support at major sporting events including the Commonwealth Games. I have also completed rotations across musculoskeletal, neurology, paediatrics and cardiorespiratory physiotherapy, providing a broad clinical foundation. I am committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based care while continually developing my knowledge through postgraduate education and ongoing professional development
