Experience-Led Physiotherapy Care, Delivered from the UK

Ashford TherapyHub

Experience-Led Physiotherapy

Ashford Therapyhub is led by Thangaraj Balakrishnan (Raj), a physiotherapist with over 30 years of clinical experience across India, the Maldives, Abu Dhabi, and the United Kingdom.

Raj has worked extensively within the NHS, leading private healthcare settings, and Sheikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC) in Abu Dhabi — a renowned tertiary referral centre. Treating diverse patient groups in these varied cultural and clinical environments has shaped a calm, evidence-based, and deeply patient-centred approach focused on careful assessment, clear clinical reasoning, and ethical care.

A personal note from Raj: Having practised across multiple countries and seen how distance can limit access to experienced care, Ashford Therapyhub to make trusted, senior-level physiotherapy available to patients in India and the Gulf — regardless of geography. My goal is simple: to offer the same thoughtful, thorough guidance I would provide in a UK clinic or at SKMC, helping people manage long-standing pain and move with greater confidence in their daily lives.

Check Our Client Reviews

I was in terrible pain and suffering from a dead arm and hand and had been suffering for a week or more. After one session and exercises recommend my arm is 95% better. I can not say thank you enough and have already booked more sessions for the pain I suffer in my hips. Professional, caring with amazing knowledge

A.P

Raj at TherapyHub has been nothing short of brilliant. I've been experiencing shoulder pain and pins & needles down my arm for quite some time and seen a number of doctors and physio's without much improvement. I spotted the difference with Raj on the first appointment, not only did he seem to understand my description of the symptoms he was able to describe to me with great accuracy how it felt when in certain positions which was confidence inspiring. Upon first treatment Raj not only provided some short-term immediate relief he was able to identify and focus on the problem areas and even link it back to an old injury about 10 years prior I hadn't truly recovered from.

S.B

Excellent care,able to understand patient's problem and having good interpersonal skills.

R.R

As a fellow healthcare professional, I am consistently impressed by Raj's exceptional expertise, extensive knowledge, and remarkable skills. His dedication to patient care is truly commendable. Each session is meticulously tailored to meet individual needs, ensuring that every patient receives the highest level of personalized care. Raj not only addresses the immediate concerns but also educates patients on long-term strategies for maintaining optimal health. His ability to create a welcoming and supportive environment makes the rehabilitation process both effective and enjoyable. I highly recommend Raj to anyone seeking top-notch physiotherapy services.
