The Optimised BUPA Profile: Rajesh Gilla

Rajesh is a distinguished Advanced Physiotherapy Practitioner and MSK Specialist with 25 years of expertise in delivering elite-level musculoskeletal care, sports injuries, and neurological rehabilitation. His clinical career is anchored by an 18-year tenure as a Senior Physiotherapist at the world-renowned Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital (RJAH), an international centre of excellence for orthopaedic recovery and post-surgical rehabilitation. As an HCPC Registered professional and Member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (MCSP), Rajesh combines academic prestige from India's MAHE University with Master 's-level advanced practice qualifications from the University of Essex and the University of Central Lancashire. This high level of training allows him to provide expert diagnostic triage and rapid solutions for complex conditions, including sciatica, spinal stenosis, disc herniation, and chronic back pain.

Beyond his clinical credentials, Rajesh brings a unique perspective to his practice; having undergone musculoskeletal surgery himself, he possesses a profound, first-hand understanding of the physical and emotional challenges his patients face. This empathy drives his commitment to evidence-based rehabilitation, an area where he has contributed to medical science as a co-author of published research comparing Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) and Corticosteroid Injections for Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome and hip bursitis. His clinical toolkit is exceptionally broad, encompassing manual therapy, joint mobilisation, and biomechanical assessment for a wide range of acute and chronic sports injuries, such as rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, and plantar fasciitis.

Currently serving as a Physiotherapy Practitioner within the NHS in Birmingham, Rajesh specialises in advanced MSK diagnostics, providing joint and soft tissue injections and maintaining professional NHS Consultant Liaison to ensure seamless care pathways for his patients. His experience as an Advanced Occupational Physiotherapist at Airbus also makes him an expert in workstation assessment and ergonomic advice for those suffering from occupational injuries. Whether you are navigating ACL reconstruction, returning to high-level competition after sports injuries, managing hip osteoarthritis, or seeking relief from neck pain and whiplash, Rajesh delivers a holistic, BUPA-recognised treatment plan focused on strength and conditioning. He is dedicated to helping you bypass the frustration of chronic pain, utilising his vast experience to restore your function and return you to an active, fulfilling life.
