About Srikanth Kalaga

Srikanth and the Axis Physiotherapy team come to you. They visit people at home across Kent, so there is no clinic to get to, no parking to find and no waiting room. If you are living with a stroke, Parkinson's or MS, getting over an operation or a stay in hospital, or finding it harder to get about than you used to, treatment happens in your own home, at your own pace.

Neurological rehabilitation has been at the heart of his work for more than 23 years. He believes in realistic goals, set together, and an honest conversation about what is possible. He welcomes family and carers into the rehabilitation, so everyone at home understands the exercises and why they matter.

Srikanth spent 17 years in the NHS, on hospital wards and rehabilitation units, in the community, in early supported discharge and rapid response teams, in A&E and in GP surgeries. So he knows what recovery looks like at every stage, from the hospital bed to home and the months after. Where it helps, he will speak to your GP, consultant or wider therapy team.

The team also helps with muscle and joint pain, a stiff or painful back, neck or shoulder, recovery after a joint replacement or other surgery, and strength and balance for older people who want to stay steady and independent at home. Seeing you at home means the plan fits real life: your own stairs, your own chair and the step at the front door.

Srikanth founded Axis Physiotherapy in 2011, and he leads its clinical standards and trains its team. Nobody at Axis is paid per session and there are no treatment packages to buy. When you are getting better and can manage on your own, that is the goal.
