Meet The Team

Tim obtained a Sports Science degree in 1992 from The Chelsea School of Human Movement in Eastbourne, and then went on to obtain his Physio BSc honours degree 3 years later from Brunel University in West London.

Having been a youth international swimmer and sailor (a while ago!)  Tim was always going to be involved professionally in sport. As soon as Tim qualified he started working in Rugby Union, and over the years has worked in the elite pro game down to grass roots rugby.

Clinically Tim enjoys treating movement control and muscle imbalance problems, and enjoy using my manual, hands on treatment skills to help people get better.

“Outside of working at the Clinic, for the last 18 years I have been the lead Physio with National 2 East rugby union team, Worthing Raiders, which takes up most of my spare time, but when I can my wife and I enjoy the local Sussex coast line and countryside with our dog, Spike. Coupled with keeping up to date with what our 2 growing sons are getting up to in the world, we don’t have much time for anything else!!”

I am Fiza Khalid, a dedicated and experienced physiotherapist at Chichester Physio.

With a comprehensive background in treating a wide range of illnesses, injuries, and disabilities, I approach each patient with an open mindset and a flexible treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. My goal is to provide exceptional care that promotes healing and enhances the quality of life for my patients.

My experience spans working with both children and adults, treating neurological and musculoskeletal conditions. I develop functional treatment programs, educate patients on safe home practices, nutrition, exercise, and stress management, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver outstanding care. Continuously reflecting on clinical practice and patient outcomes, I strive to enhance my approach to ensure the best possible results for those under my care.

I hold a Diploma of Higher Education in Sports Medicine from the University of Chester and a Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy from Lahore, Pakistan.
