Hi, I'm Jake Peters, a Senior Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist at Midtown Wellness Covent Garden.

With extensive experience in the NHS, private healthcare, and elite sports, I've had the privilege of helping individuals recover from a wide range of conditions, including stroke, spinal injuries, and complex post-surgical rehabilitation.

At Midtown Wellness, I lead our injury rehabilitation service, where I take pride in helping patients transition from chronic pain to greater, pain-free movement. Drawing on my background in strength and conditioning, I also support athletes in their recovery journey — guiding them back to competitive sports or marathon training.

Outside of the clinic, I'm passionate about DJing, traveling, and swimming. As a qualified lifeguard and swimming instructor, I value movement and active living in all its forms.
