Dr Asim Akram

Physiotherapist
Hello, my name is Silvana, and I am a dedicated physiotherapist with a passion for helping people recover from various conditions.

I specialize in treating musculoskeletal injuries, back and joint pain, post-surgery rehabilitation, and chronic pain management. Additionally, I am a qualified women’s and men’s health physiotherapist, focusing on issues such as bladder and bowel conditions (including incontinence and chronic constipation), pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse and sexual health concerns like pelvic pain.

I find great fulfillment in assisting women with pregnancy-related pain and guiding them back to fitness postpartum.

Beyond my professional endeavours, I cherish my role as a mother of three wonderful children. Family is incredibly important to me, and I enjoy spending quality time with them outdoors and creating memorable travel experiences together.
