Laura Fernandez is an experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapist with a particular interest in sports-related injuries, especially those arising from endurance disciplines such as running and triathlon.
In addition to her physiotherapy qualifications, Laura holds a postgraduate qualification in musculoskeletal sonography. This enables her to provide on-site diagnostic ultrasound imaging – a valuable and increasingly sought-after service which enhances clinical decision making and streamlines patient care. Laura also brings extensive experience in post-operative rehabilitation for both upper and lower limb surgery, having worked closely with orthopaedic teams in her previous roles. She is also a qualified acupuncturist, using Western medical acupuncture techniques to support the management of a variety of conditions including long-standing spinal symptoms affecting the back and neck.
Laura’s approach to rehabilitation is comprehensive, drawing on her varied background and further qualifications in sports massage therapy and personal training to create individually tailored, performance-focused treatment plans.
Alongside her clinical work, Laura is a dedicated endurance athlete having completed multiple full-distance Ironman and 70.3 triathlons events, as well as numerous marathons and ultra-trail races. She is currently preparing for her first Hyrox event. Her personal sport experience gives her a deep understanding of the physical and psychological demands of training and recovery, and she brings this insight to her work with patients, from recreational exercisers to more competitive athletes.
Based in Aylesbury but also heading our Watford clinic, Laura combines clinical excellence with a deep understanding of athletic performance, helping patients return to full function and beyond
