Hi, I’m Karol – a Graduate Sports Therapist, active athlete, and founder of PhysioSTAR - Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic in Southampton.

​

My passion for injury rehabilitation started with my own journey, after suffering a torn ACL as a teenage footballer. That experience changed everything. The surgery and long, demanding road to recovery showed me the importance of expert guidance and structured rehab. I’ll never forget the moment I returned to the pitch, stronger and more confident than ever. From that point on, I knew I wanted to help others feel the same.

​

I hold a degree in Sports Therapy from Solent University, where I built a solid clinical foundation. Before launching PhysioSTAR, I operated a successful massage therapy practice in Poland and worked alongside experienced osteopaths and physical therapists in the UK, honing my manual therapy and clinical reasoning skills.

​

What sets my approach apart is that I’ve experienced both sides of the rehab journey. As a therapist, I understand the science behind it. As an athlete, I understand the pain, the frustration, and the mental blocks that come with injury. That dual insight helps me support clients with empathy, clarity, and a results-driven mindset.

​

Over the years, I’ve supported athletes, gym-goers, and active individuals across Southampton and surrounding areas, whether for post-surgery rehab, sport-specific training, or rebuilding strength and confidence after injury. My goal is always the same: to help you move better, feel stronger, and continue doing what you love without fear.

​

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll likely find me on the pitch, in the gym, or trying new sports, from Muay Thai and golf to the occasional extreme adventure. I love travelling, discovering new food spots, and living an active, balanced lifestyle.
