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.
Our Promise: Your Recovery, Demystified
The name on our door is the promise we make to you. We believe your recovery journey should be a collaborative, empowering experience, not a confusing one.
We swap complicated jargon for straightforward conversation. We replace uncertainty with a clear, step-by-step plan tailored to your life. We give you the knowledge to not only heal from your current injury but to understand your body better, building resilience for the future.
A Legacy of Care in Maidenhead
For over two decades, from our foundational years at the Symons Medical Centre to our time on Boyn Hill Road, we have been a constant in the Maidenhead community. As we continue to evolve, our founding mission remains the same: to be the clearest, most effective path back to the life and activities you love.

Join Thousands Who Are Back to Moving Pain-Free
I have known Laura for many years and have always gone to her to sort, fix and bring me back to normal after various issues: knees, back and more recently a hip replacement. An excellent Physiotherapist with a good set up.
