PhysioSTAR Southampton

About Me

PhysioSTAR Southampton was founded in 2021 by Karol, a dedicated Sports Therapist with a rich background in injury treatment and rehabilitation. Originally from Poland, Karol began his career as a massage therapist, successfully running his own business before moving to the UK to advance his professional qualifications. In 2019, he graduated from Solent University with a BSc (Hons) degree in Sport and Exercise Therapy.

Karol’s passion for sports, especially football, drives his approach to therapy. He holds a UEFA C coaching licence and continues to play at the semi-professional level in the UK. His personal experience with multiple sports injuries has given him valuable insight into the challenges athletes face, deepening his empathy and understanding of patient needs. Alongside running PhysioSTAR, Karol also works as an MSK Therapist at the respected David Sercombe Practice, collaborating with experienced osteopaths to deliver comprehensive care.

With over nine years of experience in the health and fitness industry as a qualified fitness instructor, Karol is committed to helping individuals of all ages and abilities regain function, improve performance, and enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle. He prioritises client wellbeing and invites anyone in need of expert injury treatment or rehabilitation to reach out.
