Person
Trish Formby began teaching exercise classes in the late
80s, complete with Lycra, Reebok High Tops and big hair. She completed her
undergraduate training as a physio in 1992 in Australia, and later a Sports
Masters degree, before moving permanently to the UK where one thing led to
another and she never quite made it home!
Trish worked in private practice in London for many years, most of them in her
clinic in Kensington where she was privileged to work with elite professional
athletes, including stars of tennis, rugby and football, and swimmers, as well
as actors, musicians and writers. It was a vibrant and exciting time to be a
physio with many new concepts in evidence-based treatment coming to the fore.
Trish was one of the first physiotherapists in London to integrate Clinical
Pilates alongside manual therapy in the late nineties. Through her interest in
biomechanics, she was able to combine therapies to tailor treatments for her
clients in unique ways. She was also a lecturer on the sports physiotherapy
course at UCL, and in the early 2000s she ran courses on spinal rehabilitation
called Integrated Rehabilitation for the Spine.
Today she lives in West Sussex with her husband, two boys and her dog Banjo.
Thirty years on, Trish still loves rehabilitation and exercise prescription.
She tries out most injury treatments on herself. She is her own guinea pig and
still loves Lycra!
