Clinic Manager and Senior Physiotherapist
Selene Cavallaro
Clinic location : Hatfield / Fitness First
I see being a physiotherapist as a mission: helping people improve their life quality, reducing their pain, healing from injuries that sometimes occur without having to give up their own passions.
Having had to stop playing inline hockey because of bad physiotherapy treatments and management, I am really motivated to deliver the best combination of treatment and management possible. I strongly believe this can be achievable with a deep exploration of the problem’s roots and applying the best treatment possible based on up-to-date research.
More about Selene
I graduated in 2011 in Italy and worked there for almost seven years before moving to the UK. During my career, I have gained experience in both the NHS and the private sector, specialising in amputee rehabilitation, post-operative care, orthopaedics, and musculoskeletal (MSK) rehabilitation.
I have also successfully managed post-stroke patients, neurological paediatric cases, and medical-legal assessments. Working in two different healthcare systems has given me the opportunity to critically evaluate the strengths and limitations of both the Italian and British healthcare models and physiotherapy practices.
This international experience has allowed me to integrate the knowledge and clinical approaches developed in Italy with those acquired in the UK. I completed a Master’s degree in Advanced Manipulative Physiotherapy at the University of Birmingham, further strengthening my clinical reasoning and advanced manual therapy skills.
