About Bart

In the summer of 2014, I graduated from the University of Jan Kochanowski in Poland with a Master of Science degree in Physiotherapy.

I completed my junior rotations in Poland and I started working as a locum Physiotherapist at St. Helier Hospital in Jersey on the Trauma and Orthopaedics ward. I have worked as a agency Physiotherapist in numerous hospitals across the UK Including Wales, Isle of Man and Jersey where I gained experience in treating patients after trauma and elective surgeries.

After a couple of years I settled as a Senior Physiotherapist working at a private hospital in Ashford on the inpatient ward, working with elective patients after joint replacements, shoulders, knees and spinal surgeries including rotator cuff reconstruction, SAD, SLAP repairs, meniscectomy, ACL reconstructions, spinal fusions and discectomy, foot surgeries and more.

I enjoy working at Benenden Hospital as an inpatient Senior Physiotherapist based on Bensan Ward providing physiotherapy for our elective surgery patients.

I am passionate about videography and travelling where I can fly my drones and create travel videos. I also like to spend my spare time actively going to the gym and cycling during the summer season.

Chris had a total knee replacement in March 2023 under the care of our Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, Mr Kumar Reddy. In only five months, Chris has gone from suffering from severe knee pain to jumping up and down at a rock concert!

Walk for your health

Walking is simple, free and one of the easiest ways to become healthier and, since May is National Walking Month, it’s a great time to start. A brisk daily walk has a positive impact on the body, both physically and mentally, and counts towards your 150 minutes of weekly exercise recommended by the World Health Organisation.

Sporting injuries: symptoms, prevention and recovery

According to research by Podium Analytics, 40% of people questioned said they’ve sustained a sporting injury at some point in their life. Worryingly, a third of people who’ve suffered from an injury as a result of playing sport say they’re still affected by symptoms today.

Our knees bear the brunt of a significant amount of pressure and friction in our day-to-day lives. Just one of many complex, weight-bearing joints within our bodies, they are comprised of multiple structures which make them susceptible to a variety of different injuries.

Don’t let your fitness take a dive: A guide To swimmer's back

When it comes to back pain, swimming is known to have many easing benefits, not least the low-impact weightless environment, relief of compassion on your nerves and an increase in blood circulation. It’s one of the most effective forms of cardiovascular exercise for all ages.

A guide to swimmer's neck

Although swimming is a fantastic low-impact, joint-friendly exercise for all age groups and is a relatively injury-free sport, it can put repetitive demands on certain muscles, bones, ligaments or tendons, resulting in some common overuse injuries. These are often caused by poor technique, and although roughly 90 per cent of these swimming injuries are in the shoulders, your back and neck can suffer too.
