Dave Mott
Founder & Clinical Director (Physiotherapist)
Dave is the founder of Physio Fitness and the heart of its mission: to help people of all ages move better, feel stronger, and get back to doing what they love. With over 30 years of experience, two degrees and a background in elite sport, he brings world-class knowledge and a deeply personal approach to every patient he treats.
Across his career Dave has worked with international athletes, Premier League footballers and hundreds of local patients – from weekend warriors to those rebuilding strength after surgery or managing arthritis. His earlier roles include Centre of Excellence Physiotherapist at AFC Bournemouth, Consultant Physiotherapist at the English Institute of Sport, and Physiotherapist to the England U18 football team.
As Clinical Director, Dave now leads the clinic’s direction and development, but still treats a small number of patients each week. His style is warm, honest and outcome-focused, blending hands-on skill with the latest technology and a passion for helping people live pain-free, active lives.
