Mr Rishi Navsaria Qualified as a Physiotherapist in 2003/4 and completed his core rotational training in orthopaedics, musculoskeletal, neurological and medical respiratory at the Royal Free Hospital, North Middlesex University Hospital, and Imperial College Healthcare Trust.

In 2013 he began his Advanced Orthopaedic Practitioner role within Spinal Orthopaedic Surgery at Imperial College Healthcare, assessing patients with acute spinal trauma and those with degenerative spinal conditions.

Since then, Mr Navsaria has gone on to take Advanced Practitioner roles in primary and community care, delivering point of care diagnostic ultrasound and guided injection procedures in the community, improving early patient management and reducing unnecessary waits for radiology diagnostics.

He won the prestigious National Health Service Journal award for innovation for the work in this area.

He is now one of only a handful of Consultant Physiotherapists in Spinal Orthopaedics with speciality skills working across primary, secondary and tertiary care in order to deliver expert care earlier in a patient’s journey to avoid the development of chronic long term spinal orthopaedic and musculoskeletal conditions. He is able to provide expert assessment, management, onward investigations and streamline onward referral to surgical consultants for patients referred for a spinal orthopaedic opinion.

He is the Clinical Lead for the new RNOH MSK Hub in Enfield, one of the first such hubs in the country, which looks to deliver the RNOH expertise to local regions by having RNOH multi-professional expert clinicians under one roof based in the community.
