I am a clinical academic physiotherapist in orthopaedic trauma. My research interests are in evaluating the clinical and cost effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions for musculoskeletal injuries and in research methodology, particularly the design and conduct of randomised controlled trials.

Currently, I am the research physiotherapist for the NIHR-funded INITIATE trial. Previously, I was the research physiotherapist for the NIHR-funded AFTER trial. My DPhil, completed at the University of Oxford, focused on determining the feasibility of a full-scale randomised controlled trial evaluating rehabilitation for people after an acute patellar dislocation.

Previous research awards include an NIHR-funded Masters in Clinical Research (2017 to 2019), NIHR Oxford BRC Preparatory Research Career Fellowship (2019 to 2021), NIHR Doctoral Fellowship (2021 and 2024), and NIHR Pre-application Support Fund award (2024 to 2025).

with a sub-specialist interest in partial, total and revision knee Arthroplasty. Amy read medicine at the University of Oxford, she has a masters in medical education and went on to complete a PhD at  Imperial College, London. Her research investigates the clinical outcomes and biomechanics of Compartmental Arthroplasty of the knee. Amy has reported a biomechanical advantage of medial and lateral unicompartmental arthroplasty, both in isolation and in combination, compared to posterior-cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty. Amy’s cadaveric studies demonstrated that partial knee arthroplasty preserves nearer-native anterior posterior stability and extensor mechanism efficiency. In the gait laboratory, Amy has demonstrated that compartmental arthroplasty is associated with nearer-normal vertical ground reaction forces and high levels of patient satisfaction, compared to matched posterior-cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty and healthy control subjects. To date, Amy has published more than 21 research papers. She has presented on 22 podiums across the world.

… first half of his career in Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal rehab departments at different teaching hospitals in the south, including the RBH and the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Oxford. He went on to develop expertise in sports medicine, spending time at Wasps Rugby DPP and with independent athletes at grassroots and elite level.

He has worked as a consultant to local independent schools now for the past 8 years and pioneered an injury triage service to diagnose and treat sports injuries early. With a team of other clinicians, he setup an FCP service, including injection clinics, at several GP surgeries across Oxfordshire.

Tom is a visiting lecturer at Oxford Brookes University and an educator on the Oxford VTS programme for trainee GPs. He has also presented at Kids Knee, Therapy Live and BOA annual conference on the topic of ACL injury and its prevention.

In 2019 Tom helped setup the Power Up to Play charity for helping prevent ACL injuries among children and adolescents, where he remains a trustee to this day.

…which hosts the North East Major Revision Centre. My practice is entirely devoted to knee arthroplasty (partial, total and revision) with a particular interest in problematic, painful and stiff total knee replacements. I undertook his medical training in Manchester, including a PhD in tendon biology, followed by orthopaedic training in Newcastle and Northumbria on the North East Rotation. During this period I was the British Association for Surgery of the Knee Research Fellow (2018-) and worked with BASK’s revision knee working group to drive the reorganisation of revision knee surgery in England. I undertook fellowship training in revision knee surgery in Exeter (2022-23, Prof Andy Toms and Mr Jon Phillips) and Oxford (2023-24, Mr Abtin Alvand and Prof Andy Price) before returning to the North East as a consultant in April 2024. To complement my clinical work, I continue to collaborate with research scientists in Newcastle University to improve our understanding of the development of stiffness after knee replacement and improve treatment for this challenging patient group. I was elected to the BASK Executive Committee in September 2024, and as Junior Member I hope to develop BASK’s appeal to trainees, fellows and young consultants and increase the number of trainee members through trainee specific sessions at BASK meetings.

…then came to the UK for foundation training, with a focus on internal medicine. During this time, Dr Kluzek helped to set up and run a cardiopulmonary exercise test service in a local hospital. An experience which led to further specialist training, in sports and exercise medicine. In addition to rotations in rheumatology, orthopaedics and sports medicine, he completed an MSc in Musculoskeletal Sciences at Oxford University.

Following this, he undertook a four year fellowship, culminating in a doctoral thesis on the inflammatory response of joint injuries and early osteoarthritis. Constantly building knowledge to help his patients and his profession. After his doctoral fellowship, Dr Kluzek was appointed as an Academic Clinical Lecturer and Clinician Scientist at Oxford University. In 2018, he was admitted to the GMC’s Specialist Register for Sport and Exercise Medicine.

In 2019, Dr Kluzek was appointed as an Associate Professor and Senior Sports Physician at the UK Sport Institute. He supports Olympic and Paralympic athletes, including those attending intensive rehabilitation and high performance units. Dr Kluzek has supported teams at Olympic and Paralympic games. He has also served as medical officer for professional football and rugby teams, including Oxford University Blues, along with supporting GB Hockey and the England & Wales Cricket Board.

The unique skills this experience brings are welcomed by his patients. To treat knee, ankle, or shoulder injuries, early osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, bone stress fractures, metabolic problems, concussion, or lowered performance. Above all, he puts each patient at the centre of diagnostic and treatment decisions, aiming to restore enjoyment in being active and athletic.

Having qualified as a Physiotherapist from Brunel University in 2007, Holly has over fifteen years of extensive clinical experience after working in a variety of different specialities, including multiple NHS trusts, Headley Court (the Ministry of Defence rehabilitation centre), and Premiership sports teams like Chelsea and QPR. In 2018, Holly was appointed as an Honorary Clinical Lecturer at UCL, where she teaches on a master’s program in Rehabilitation and also earned a Postgraduate Diploma with distinction in Veterinary Physiotherapy.

Holly worked part-time at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital (Stanmore) as a specialist hip physiotherapist, enjoying close links with some of the country’s leading consultants. She has recently transitioned to work as an Advanced Practice Physiotherapist in the Young Adult Hip Team at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge. Additionally, she owns her own business, Integrum Physiotherapy, located in North London, where she provides physiotherapy advice to clients in person and via virtual consultations worldwide.

Holly has co-authored a chapter on hip dysplasia in the book ‘Hip and Knee Pain Disorders’ and has been involved in research projects focusing on hip dysplasia, gluteal tendinopathy, and femoro-acetabular impingement. She also co-wrote a leaflet on hip dysplasia, which is now utilized globally.

In addition to her extensive clinical experience, Holly has personal experience living with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Diagnosed in 2011 at the age of 25 with bilateral hip dysplasia, she underwent a left Periacetabular Osteotomy in late 2011. Due to significant blood loss during the operation, the rotation was insufficient, and she subsequently required a salvage procedure in 2013, which included a combined Shelf-acetabuloplasty and arthroscopy with labral repair. Her right hip is severely dysplastic with a large labral tear, which she has managed consistently with conservative management.

Holly is passionate about helping people manage DDH and rehabilitate to the best of their ability. This website is dedicated to providing valuable information about hip dysplasia and highlighting the correct rehabilitation guidelines.
