Meet the team 👋

Hear from Benji, owner of Benji Physio and physiotherapist:

I am a Frenchman who graduated in 2004 with a degree in Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (including a diploma in Massage Therapy) from ULB in Brussels, Belgium and moved to Scotland that same year.

After working for a couple of years as a junior physiotherapist for NHS Grampian, I started working in private practice, and for the following nine years, I developed and managed a clinic in Perth.

I founded Benji Physio in 2016. 10 YEARS AGO 🤯🤯

My training abroad has always been a great advantage, allowing me to combine the more hands-on approach (massage, mobilisations and manipulations) of the continent with the more exercise-based approach practised in the UK to offer a comprehensive and efficient way to assess and treat patients.

My post-graduate training is extremely varied. From the usual taping courses to very specialised back treatment courses, a foundation acupuncture course and a diploma in injection therapy, I am keen to learn new techniques and develop new skills. This will, of course, also be beneficial to my patients.

I am very proud to be trusted by local healthcare practitioners (GPs, podiatrists, etc.) and personal trainers to provide a second opinion for their patients/clients.

In addition to my clinical work, I worked for the Scottish Rugby Union as the U16 Caledonia physiotherapist for a few seasons and now offer ad-hoc physiotherapy and first aid cover. I am also a World Rugby FAIR first aid educator teaching Sports First Aid courses.

My love of anatomy is key to my interest in teaching, and I gave seminars to medical students at the Medical School of St Andrews University until 2020. I offer training to local GPS and nurses during their protected learning time.

There are four steps to how we manage every injury at Benji Physio.

→ Identify exactly what's injured
→ Understand why it happened
→ Build a recovery programme tailored to you
→ Get you stronger and fitter in the process

Step two is the one that makes the difference. It's what stops the same injury from coming back.

Curious about your own injury? We'd love to help.

Still relying on tape to get through your training?

That's not a criticism – tape is a great tool. But if you need it every single session, it's worth asking why.

Pain that keeps coming back is usually a sign of a gap between what your body is being asked to do and what it's currently able to handle.

Tape can reduce that pain. But it can't close that gap.

The right rehab programme can.

If you've been taping the same area for months, we'd love to take a look at what's really going on.

Our classes are specifically designed for patients who underwent knee replacements and want to return to the best level of mobility as possible.

It is also suitable to patient who are waiting for a knee operation.

The classes are all-inclusive and for all levels of fitness.
Whatever your level of mobility and fitness (pre and post-op) , you are welcome to our classes.

Our main goal here is to make you move, make you stronger and fitter.

Our physios will adapt the exercises to every patient whatever their abilities.

Circuit-type Classes
The classes run once a week (at the moment) and last just under one hour. The participants follow their way through 8 stations. Each station targets a specific movement or group of muscles. By the end of the session, you will have not only worked your calves, legs, gluts and back muscles but also your balance and agility.

Share your experience
The big benefit of a class is that the most recently operated patients can see that what we do really works just by looking at patients who are most advanced into their rehab.

The participants can also, if they wish to, share their experiences and give tips and advice.

Believe it or not but most patients have the same issues and worries following a joint replacement operation.

And although your physios are there to help, having personal experiences from people wo went through the same issues as yours is even better….

Most people get injury rehab wrong.

They either:
→ Rest too much and get weaker
→ Or do too much too soon and have a flare-up

Neither works.

Good rehab isn’t about doing nothing…
It’s about applying the right load at the right time.

That means:
✔ Settling symptoms early (not complete rest)
✔ Reintroducing movement within acceptable pain
✔ Staying active without overloading the injury
✔ Progressively building strength and tolerance
✔ Returning to sport with a clear plan

If you’re stuck with an injury, chances are you’re missing one of these steps.

If you want a clear plan to get back to full strength, get in touch today!

Not sure if that ni**le is worth checking out? Here’s a rule of thumb: don’t wait until pain stops you in your tracks.

Book a physio session if you notice:
😬 Persistent stiffness or tightness
😬 A ni**le that keeps coming back
😬 Pain or stiffness that limits your activity
😬 Muscle tension that doesn’t ease with rest

Catching these issues early gives you the best chance to stay active, comfortable and injury-free – and keeps you moving the way you want, without frustration or downtime.
