Specialist Sports Injury Clinic and treatment for Musculoskeletal Conditions
Claire Poat - BSc (Hons), PgDip, MCSP
Claire graduated from Coventry University in 2006 with a First Class Honours degree in Physiotherapy. In 2012, she returned to Coventry to complete a Postgraduate Diploma in Manual Therapy, further deepening her clinical expertise. She has also undertaken additional postgraduate training in musculoskeletal physiotherapy and is qualified in acupuncture. Claire began her physiotherapy career in a junior rotational post within the NHS in Northamptonshire. During her rotations, she quickly discovered a keen interest in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, which led to her progression into a senior role within the same specialty. Her postgraduate studies provided advanced clinical skills, strengthening her work in this area. In recent years, Claire gained valuable experience working in private practice alongside her NHS role, and now has transitioned solely into private practice where she continues to focus on musculoskeletal care. Away from the clinic, Claire enjoys a busy family life with her husband and three young children. She’s an enthusiastic runner and regularly takes part in half marathons. When she’s not out running or spending time with her family, Claire enjoys being outdoors and unwinding in the garden.
Hannah Harman - BSc (Hons) MCSP
Hannah graduated from Coventry in 2017 with a bachelors degree in physiotherapy. She started her career through a range of clinical rotations that sparked her interest in musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy. Since then, she has specialised in MSK care, with a particular focus on persistent pain management, antenatal and postnatal rehabilitation, and acute injuries. Hannah is passionate about helping individuals regain confidence and function, embracing individuality and creating a safe space within pain and movement to empower long term recovery. Most recently, Hannah expanded her skill set by qualifying as a Veterinary Physiotherapist from Hartpury University, where she will complete her Masters degree in 2025. Outside of the clinic, Hannah enjoys spending time retraining her ex-racehorse, as well as running with her partner over a variety of distances (which is mostly depending on weather and energy!).
Soumiya Selvarajan
Soumiya is a Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist with experience working in both NHS and private healthcare settings. She holds an MSc in Neuro-musculoskeletal Physiotherapy from the University of Nottingham and has a particular interest in helping people with both acute and persistent musculoskeletal conditions.
She takes a person-centred approach to physiotherapy and enjoys combining hands-on treatment, exercise rehabilitation and education to help people understand their condition and feel more confident managing their symptoms. She particularly enjoys shoulder rehabilitation and helping people get back to work, hobbies and the activities that are important to them.
Soumiya believes that physiotherapy should be tailored to the individual, with
treatment plans that are practical, achievable and focused on long-term recovery. For her, good physiotherapy is not just about treating the symptoms,
but helping people understand their bodies and feel confident moving forward.
Outside of physiotherapy, Soumiya enjoys playing badminton, hiking and keeping active. She also loves exploring different parts of England and discovering new places, walks and things to do. If you have a favourite place to explore, she is always happy to hear your recommendations!
