Kiran Sharma

Physio & Health Matters was set up in May 2000 at a time of change in her life. Over the years it has evolved into a thriving business. They are now in multiple locations and their main aim is to provide the clients and the local communities with a high quality professional service.

Kiran’s main interest area has been the sacro iliac joint and the spine as a whole; with a bias towards bio-mechanics and how the two interact. Bio-mechanics and the sacro iliac joint are two areas that have historically been poorly understood. She would like to have the time to look further into these two specialisms and write her own course and teach, to aid a better understanding within her peer group.

The journey of setting up the business and developing it has taught a many lessons and helped to shape in to the person she is today; for that she is grateful.

In 2012 Kiran was very fortunate to be selected to be a part of the Paralympics medical squad. That was a wonderful experience, that she will always cherish. She loves the outdoors and animals. In Kiran’s spare time she enjoys running, going to the gym and spending time with her family.
