Anna Lofts BSc (Hons) MCSP | Registered MSK Physiotherapist

Specialist in High-Performance Sports Rehab and Functional Recovery London

About Anna Lofts

Anna’s practice is defined by a singular goal: empowering patients to return to the activities, routines, and life events that matter most to them. Her fascination with human movement and biomechanics is backed by elite clinical experience and a personal background as an international athlete, having represented England in Touch Rugby.

This athletic perspective gives Anna a unique understanding of recovery-she knows that true rehabilitation is about more than just the absence of pain; it is a holistic process of restoring function and psychological confidence. Whether she is working with a professional athlete, a patient recovering from everyday strain, or expectant mothers navigating the physical changes of pregnancy, Anna focuses on creating active, informed partners in the recovery process.

Clinical Expertise & Experience:

Anna combines a high-performance sports background with deep clinical exposure from the NHS, offering a comprehensive approach to treatment.

  • Elite Sports Physiotherapy: Former pitch-side physio for the University of Birmingham Premiership Hockey Club and British Junior Squash.
  • NHS Clinical Exposure: Extensive experience in Intensive Care (ICU), Neurology, and Community Geriatrics, providing her with a robust understanding of systemic health.
  • Functional Rehabilitation: Specialising in tailored exercise programmes that bridge the gap between injury repair and return-to-sport.
  • Musculoskeletal (MSK) Outpatients: Expertise in treating both acute sports injuries and complex chronic conditions.
  • Soft Tissue Manipulation: Holds a Level 3 Sports massage Diploma, effectively managing pain through targeted hands-on therapy. This clinical expertise extends to specialised Pregnancy Massage, providing safe, tailored relief for prenatal aches, pelvic discomfort, and postural changes. Anna also offers Cupping Therapy as a specialised add-on to Deep tissue sessions to further release muscle tension and improve blood flow.

Prenatal Care & Pregnancy Massage

Leveraging her deep background in human movement and biomechanics, Anna offers specialised Pregnancy Massage designed for mums-to-be. Rather than just a standard relaxation treatment, her sessions offer a clinically informed approach to managing pregnancy-related musculoskeletal strain, helping to alleviate back pain, hip pressure, and fluid retention safely and effectively.

Professional Philosophy

Anna believes that successful physiotherapy is an authentic collaboration. She views the patient’s commitment and ownership as the most powerful determinant of long-term success. Her role is to act as a guide and partner, blending tangible clinical results with an empathetic connection to ensure every patient achieves their peak functional potential.

The Physiotherapy & Holistic Approach:

  • Movement-Based Recovery: Focusing on human biomechanics to restore natural movement patterns.
  • Evidence-Based Practice: Applying the latest research to create highly individualised treatment and rehabilitation plans.
  • Systemic Health Awareness: Understanding how physical, mental, and environmental factors intersect to affect your recovery.
  • Long-Term Resilience: Strategies designed not just to repair injury, but to promote injury resilience and long-term well-being.
