Natalia Villegas is an experienced Senior Physiotherapist who understands the demands of high-level athletics firsthand. Holding a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy from Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh, and a degree in Kinesiology from the University of Waterloo (Canada), Natalia’s clinical approach is rooted in the science of human movement. As a former varsity soccer player, she bridges the gap between clinical repair and elite performance, helping patients return to their peak physical potential with precision and confidence.
Natalia’s journey into physiotherapy was sparked by her own competitive soccer career. Having navigated the recovery process herself, she brings an empathetic yet rigorous “performance-first” mindset to her practice. Her extensive clinical background allows her to excel in diagnosing complex musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, formulating individualised treatment plans that address not just the injury, but the social and emotional well-being of the patient.
Private Patients (Self-Paying) Natalia is available for private appointments at our Canada Water and Stratford clinics. Her background in varsity athletics makes her a preferred choice for those seeking accelerated sports recovery. You do not need a NHS GP referral to book.
