Prestwich Physiotherapy Clinic

About

Prestwich Physiotherapy Clinic is a highly respected private practice led by Sid Ahamed, Joanne Day, and Paul Quine. The clinic benefits from the extensive expertise and reputation of Sid Ahamed, whose career spans over 30 years in physiotherapy and education. Sid is nationally recognised as one of the country’s leading physiotherapists, thanks to 25 years dedicated to postgraduate teaching, lecturing, and writing.

Sid’s ongoing involvement in education is a key strength of the clinic. He teaches on undergraduate physiotherapy degrees and postgraduate courses throughout the UK. Additionally, he regularly presents papers at major national conferences. This commitment ensures that Prestwich Physiotherapy Clinic remains at the forefront of physiotherapy knowledge and practice.

Sid’s own journey into physiotherapy began after a painful injury cut short his career as an international sprinter. A torn Achilles tendon diverted him from medicine to physiotherapy, inspired by the treatment and rehabilitation he experienced. Over the years, his background in sport, NHS experience, and numerous consultancy roles shaped his specialist skills. Notably, Sid managed the Manchester City F.C. sports injuries clinic for over ten years. There, he worked closely with elite athletes, professional footballers, and gained expertise in paediatric sports injuries before transitioning into private practice.

This unique combination of NHS, private sector, and professional sports experience makes Sid and the clinic well-equipped to offer expert physiotherapy care. Alongside his clinical work, Sid maintains a strong passion for education and training, which benefits the entire clinic team.
