Biography

The Why:
I’ve spent my entire working life in smaller, family-run businesses, which taught me a fundamental truth: it’s all about the people. I’ve learned that what matters most to one person might be completely different for another, and truly understanding that is everything. I’ve backed up that philosophy with a wealth of experience looking after clients—first during my time at a Sussex bakery, and now across the three physiotherapy clinics I help run.

The Reassurance:
As the Head of Operations, I am essentially the Chandler Bing of the company. My role is entirely all-encompassing; if it’s non-clinical, I’m either doing it or organising it. You can rest assured that the background machinery is always running smoothly so our clinical team can focus entirely on you.

The Real Me:
Family and friends—it’s that simple. Spending quality time with them is what keeps I love, whether that’s a weekend away, catching up over a drink, heading out for a walk, or getting out on the bike.

Quick-Fire Q&A:

  • Coffee Order: Coffee Order? Let’s broaden that to “Drinks Order”! Everything has its time and place: tea before work, coffee during the day, and a cold beer after hours (strictly not on a school night, of course).
  • Sunday Morning: You’ll usually find me taking our dog, Nellie, for a walk on the beach at Bracklesham, or keeping an eye on the clinic pools, to ensure they are running smoothly.
  • Guilty Pleasure: Music. If my Spotify account ever got deleted, I would be absolutely inconsolable. My “Wrapped” summary at the end of the year is always a fun read, but there is one constant … Prince.

Viviana is an excellent and very focused physiotherapist. She chooses the right type of exercises to help target and improve my hip problems & in every session there are different combinations to work through to keep things interesting. I am very grateful for her level of professionalism. I only wish the sessions were a little longer.

I want to give a huge shout-out to the team at 3-Way Physio in Woodley, and especially to Jack, the physiotherapist who made all the difference for me. Initially, I started my treatment with Rupali, who was great but she felt I needed Jack’s specialised expertise. And wow, she was right. Jack is hands-down the best physiotherapist I’ve ever come across, and I’ve seen quite a few over the years for various issues. He guided me through recovery after a meniscus tear, surgery, and even a tough bout of sepsis that set me back. Thanks to his incredible knowledge and professional yet super friendly approach, I’m ahead of schedule and feeling better than I ever expected. I can’t recommend Jack enough!”

Just wanted to say how well I was looked after during my 6 month period of rehabilitation following major surgery for a shoulder repair. Anisha from 3Way Physio was ver professional and sensitively guided me through my recovery plan. She demonstrated a very patient and friendly manner. I wouldadditionally like to mention how helpful the reception staff were as well. I would be very happy recommending this pracice to anyone .

For more than 4 years I have had arthritic pain in my knees which has greatly impacted my mobility and general day to day activities. Anisha has been fantastic from the moment I met her. She listened, fully examined my legs and movement and then gave me a couple of really simple daily exercises. Following the exercise plan, my knee pain & stiffness has gone. I can easily walk half a mile with my dog and I can now walk up and down my stairs without my knees cracking and locking up. I am no longer relying on pain killers every day and I have so much more freedom in getting around. Not only have I got my independence back, my confidence to do things that I previously couldn't attempt has done wonders for my overall well-being. I cannot praise Anisha and the 3 Way Physio team highly enough and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to others.

Very pleased with outcome after 3 sessions with Rupali, I now have much needed relief with the problem with my lower back. Many thanks
