Ele Bray – Registered MSK Physiotherapist (MSc, BSc)

Specialist Physiotherapy for Sports, Work, and Daily Life

Ele Bray is a highly experienced Senior MSK Physiotherapist who believes that true healing comes from a holistic, collaborative approach. With nearly two decades of experience across elite sports, the NHS, and private practice, Ele brings a wealth of knowledge to every patient she treats—whether you are a high-performance athlete, a busy professional, or simply looking to improve your daily mobility.

Expert Physiotherapy Rooted in Elite Performance and Holistic Care

Ele’s journey began in 2004 with a BSc in Sports Therapy, followed by a Master’s in Physiotherapy in 2013. Her career is remarkably diverse: from supporting Premier League hockey teams and ultra-endurance athletes in the “Race Across America” to managing adolescent talent in football academies.

By blending her deep understanding of elite sports medicine with extensive NHS experience in respiratory, neuro, and paediatric care, Ele ensures that every patient-regardless of their background-receives a gold-standard, individualised recovery plan.

Inclusive Care: Balancing Movement and Environment

A Path to Optimal Well-being

Whether you are recovering from a major surgery like a hip replacement, dealing with minor sports injuries, or suffering from “desk-bound” postural pain, Ele focuses on:

Empowering the Patient: Providing the advice and education you need to understand your condition and take charge of your recovery.
Evidence-Based Exercise: Designing bespoke strength and conditioning programmes-certified by EXOS-to enhance your mobility.
Manual Excellence: Using a range of techniques, including mobilisations, manipulations, and taping, to restore function and alleviate spasms.
Holistic Balance: Incorporating her personal passions for yoga and open-water swimming into her calm, empathetic clinical approach.

Experience Excellence in Every Session

Ele’s background as a National League hockey player gives her a unique perspective on the commitment required to maintain fitness. However, it is her calm and empathetic demeanour that truly defines her practice. She understands that the best results come from listening to the body and working together. At Bodytonic, Ele is dedicated to helping you achieve your goals through a comprehensive, compassionate, and highly individualised approach.
