About the Author

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 Master’s 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 and professional athletes including tennis, rugby and football players, and swimmers, as well as actors, musicians and writers. It was a very 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 ran courses on spinal rehabilitation called Integrated Rehabilitation for the Spine in the early 2000s.

Today she lives in West Sussex with her husband, two boys and her dog Banjo. Thirty years on, Trish still loves treating her patients and especially loves rehabilitation and exercise prescription. She tries most injuries out on herself. She is her own guinea pig and she still loves Lycra.
