ALEX MANOS – Specialist Physiotherapist in Hip & Groin Pain

Alex Manos

Alex Manos is a highly experienced sports and musculoskeletal physiotherapist with over 20 years of clinical experience, specialising in the assessment and treatment of hip and groin pain, particularly complex or unresolved cases.

Many of the patients Alex sees have already undergone previous treatment without success, are seeking a second opinion, or are struggling to recover following surgery or prolonged rehabilitation. He has developed a reputation for helping people who feel “stuck” in their recovery and need a fresh, detailed perspective on their problem.

Alex’s clinical career has been shaped by working at the highest levels of professional sport. He began his career at Crystal Palace FC before progressing to the first team, and later returned to the club to spend six seasons as Head Physiotherapist. During this time he managed a wide range of elite athletes and complex lower limb injuries. He also worked as the full-time physiotherapist to British tennis player James Ward, supporting him through a challenging return from long-term injury.

Through his work in professional sport and private practice, Alex has worked closely with leading UK hip and groin surgeons, developing extensive experience in both non-surgical management and post-operative rehabilitation of hip and groin conditions.

In addition to physiotherapy, Alex is also a Professional Life Coach, which informs his broader approach to injury and recovery. He recognises that persistent pain and stalled rehabilitation are often influenced by multiple factors beyond the physical injury alone. His approach therefore combines detailed clinical assessment, hands-on treatment and structured rehabilitation with a wider exploration of lifestyle, behavioural and psychological influences on recovery.

Alex works with both athletes and active individuals who want to understand the root cause of their pain and return confidently to sport, exercise and daily life.

Outside the clinic, Alex continues to play tennis competitively and trains regularly in the gym. He is also an avid reader of personal development books and a regular podcast listener.
