Chartered Physiotherapist | Extended Scope Practitioner
Chartered Physiotherapist and Extended Scope Practitioner with over 30 years of clinical practice, 23 of which within the NHS. Doctor of Physiotherapy, Master’s in Neurological Physiotherapy, and specialist training in injection therapy, acupuncture and manual therapy.
Dr. Ibrahim is a highly experienced Chartered Physiotherapist and Extended Scope Practitioner with over 30 years of clinical practice. He holds a Doctor of Physiotherapy degree (2019) and a Master’s in Neurological Physiotherapy from Coventry University (2011), placing him among the most academically qualified physiotherapists in the UK.
Throughout his career, Dr. Ibrahim has developed deep specialist expertise in managing complex neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. His post-graduate education includes extensive training in musculoskeletal medicine, manual therapy, injection therapy, and prescribing — a combination that allows him to assess and treat conditions that other physiotherapists would refer onwards.
Currently, Dr. Ibrahim serves as an Extended Scope Practitioner within the NHS, where he independently manages complex musculoskeletal disorders — a role that requires advanced clinical reasoning, diagnostic skill and the authority to refer for investigations and make treatment decisions traditionally held by doctors. His NHS career spans over 23 years, making him a trusted name in advanced physiotherapy care across the East Midlands.
In his private practice at Physio Experts, Dr. Ibrahim brings this same depth of expertise — giving patients access to NHS-level specialist care with the convenience of evening and weekend appointments and significantly shorter waiting times.
