About Us

The Spark Behind Clear Physio

Ever left a medical appointment feeling more confused than when you arrived? Our founder, Laura Howell, knew that feeling all too well from her patients. After decades of honing her craft within the NHS and leading private practices, she saw a clear gap: patients didn’t just need treatment; they needed understanding.

In 2003, she launched Clear Physiotherapy with a single, powerful mission: to replace medical mystery with absolute clarity, empowering every patient to become an active partner in their own recovery.

Meet Laura Howell: The Clinician & The Competitor

With over 30 years of hands-on experience, Laura has an expert ability to decipher the complex language of the human body. She has diagnosed and treated thousands of musculoskeletal and sports-related injuries, seeing every case as a unique puzzle to be solved.

But what truly sets her apart is what she does outside the clinic. As a competitive rower, Laura lives and breathes the discipline of physical conditioning. She intimately understands the frustration of being sidelined, the dedication a comeback requires, and the unshakeable desire to perform at your peak. She’s not just your physio; she’s in your corner, armed with a perspective that only a fellow athlete can have.
