Naveen Ramakrishnan

Naveen is an HCPC registered chartered physiotherapist with around 14 years of clinical experience, with a particular focus on musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy.

He has worked in NHS and private healthcare in the UK, and has extensive international experience in hospital, orthopaedic and elite sports physiotherapy. Naveen provides home-visit physiotherapy for musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, orthopaedic conditions, recovery after surgery and mobility problems.

His approach is to understand the problem properly, explain the likely cause clearly, and give you a treatment and rehabilitation plan built around your symptoms, how you are managing day to day, and your goals.

How Naveen can help

What to expect

1. A free phone enquiry. Talk through your problem with Naveen and check whether physiotherapy is likely to help. There is no obligation to book.
2. An initial assessment in your own home. A detailed look at your symptoms, movement, strength and how you are managing. Naveen explains what he has found and the likely problem, and agrees a treatment and rehabilitation plan with you. Treatment can usually start at the same appointment.
3. A rehabilitation plan that is yours. Exercises and activities are built around your condition and goals, and progressed as you recover, rather than following the same programme for everyone.

About Naveen Ramakrishnan

Naveen has worked as an MSK physiotherapist in both NHS and private healthcare in the UK, assessing and treating a wide range of muscle, joint, spinal and sports-related problems. He runs Naveen Physiotherapy, a home-visit practice based in Liverpool.

His international background includes hospital-based musculoskeletal and orthopaedic rehabilitation, and elite sports physiotherapy with professional footballers and athletes in the UAE and Oman. That breadth means he works with people of all ages and activity levels, from someone struggling with everyday back, shoulder or knee pain to an athlete working towards a safe return to sport.

Treatment is individual, not a standard programme. After assessment it may include hands-on physiotherapy, progressive exercise and strengthening, mobility work, changes to activity, and advice to help you manage the problem yourself. The plan is built around what you want to achieve, whether that is walking comfortably again, going back to work, recovering after surgery, or getting back to running, football or the gym.

Musculoskeletal physiotherapy

Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is the main focus of Naveen's work. He assesses and treats both recent and long-standing problems with the spine, joints, muscles, tendons and soft tissues, including low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, shoulder problems, hip and knee pain, foot and ankle problems, tendon problems, muscle and ligament injuries, joint stiffness and pain related to exercise or activity.

The first appointment is about understanding your symptoms, how they affect everyday life and what you want to get back to doing. Naveen then explains the likely problem and talks you through the best treatment options.

Sports injury rehabilitation

Naveen's elite sports experience with professional footballers and athletes in the UAE and Oman covered injury assessment, muscle, tendon and ligament rehabilitation, progressive strengthening, injury prevention, and return to running and sport. That experience shapes how he treats sports injuries today.

The aim is not just to reduce the pain, but to rebuild the strength, movement, control and confidence you need to get back to sport safely. Whether you play competitively, play football for fun, run, train at the gym or simply want to stay active, rehabilitation is matched to your level and goals.

Orthopaedic and post-operative rehabilitation

Naveen has extensive experience in musculoskeletal and orthopaedic rehabilitation, including around five years in a hospital in the UAE. He helps people recover after hip and knee replacements, arthroscopy, ligament reconstruction, shoulder surgery, fractures and fracture fixation, and other orthopaedic operations.

Home physiotherapy works particularly well after surgery, because the rehabilitation happens where you actually need to manage: walking, stairs, getting in and out of a chair or bed, rebuilding strength and gradually getting back to normal daily life.

Older adult rehabilitation

Naveen also works with older adults who want to keep or regain their mobility and independence, after a fall, an illness, a hospital stay, surgery or a joint replacement, or where strength, balance or confidence with walking has slipped. Treatment is adapted to you and may include strengthening, balance work, walking practice, mobility exercises and practical advice to make everyday life easier.
