Tilemachos Pissas

Tile is a registered physiotherapist working primarily in private practice, managing a diverse caseload of athletes and active individuals — from high-performing amateurs to elite professionals. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (NSCA-CSCS) and is currently completing an MSc in Strength and Conditioning at St Mary’s University, Twickenham. He is particularly recognised for his expertise in shoulder and upper limb rehabilitation, and brings a strong commitment to delivering performance-driven, evidence-based care grounded in elite sport.

Tile specialises in complex shoulder pathology, post-operative rehabilitation, tendon-related pain, and comprehensive return-to-sport testing. He utilises diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound to support the assessment of MSK conditions and guide clinical decision-making alongside thorough physical examination. As a certified strength and conditioning specialist, Tile bridges the gap between rehabilitation and high performance — integrating strength profiling, load management, and advanced rehabilitation principles to ensure patients return stronger, more resilient, and performance-ready.

Tile has extensive experience in elite sport environments, including professional tennis, football, and the Arsenal FC academy, where he currently supports the rehabilitation and development of elite youth footballers within a Category One academy structure. Earlier in his career, he served as a physiotherapist within the Hellenic Army’s Supreme Sports Council in Greece, deepening his expertise in acute injury management and high-performance rehabilitation. He presents annually at orthopaedic and sports medicine conferences, and as an active top-tier UK water polo athlete, brings a unique dual perspective as both clinician and competitor.
