Spinal Kineticist practising in Swiss Cottage, London. He treats spinal conditions, including pre- and post-surgical cases, using movement and exercise science.
Joel sees patients at PerformanceRx, 79–81 Fairfax Road, London NW6 4DY, a private training and rehabilitation facility he founded in 2006. The building holds a functional training floor and four private treatment rooms, so assessment, hands-on treatment and loaded rehabilitation happen in one place.
He is a permanent member of a Specialist Spinal Unit multidisciplinary team in London, whose members include surgeons, neurologists, radiologists and pain management specialists, and presents complex spinal cases to it.
Joel is a Master Clinician and Course Instructor for Backfitpro, Professor Stuart McGill's organisation, where he teaches the McGill Method courses. He is one of two people holding that role.
He is also an Honorary Lecturer on a university pain management MSc.
Joel has coached since 1994, including strength coaching for international athletes and the South African Olympic Rowing Team at Athens 2004.
His own experience as a spine surgery patient shapes how he works with people facing surgery.
“Spinal Kineticist” describes the work rather than a regulated title. It is not a protected UK professional title and does not itself denote statutory registration.
