Malcolm Norman

Senior Physiotherapist

Malcolm graduated from the University of Central Lancashire with a first-class BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy, developing a strong foundation in musculoskeletal assessment and rehabilitation.

He has gained valuable experience across a range of healthcare settings — including community care, stroke rehabilitation, outpatient musculoskeletal clinics, and inpatient hospital environments within the NHS. This broad background has helped him build a comprehensive skill set in patient care and rehabilitation.

Malcolm takes a holistic approach to treatment, combining hands-on techniques with tailored exercise rehabilitation programmes. His style is friendly, supportive, and focused on helping patients achieve their individual goals — whether that’s recovering from injury, improving movement, or regaining confidence in daily life and sport.

Outside the clinic:
Malcolm is a keen runner with a passion for endurance events, particularly ultra-marathons. Away from work, he enjoys spending time outdoors and exploring with his young family.
