About Us

Move. Change. Grow.

When Jo, Holly and Steve came together to collaborate and combine their specialist clinical skills, Star Physiotherapy CIC was founded, rooted in strong community values and a commitment to accessible, high-quality physiotherapy. In May 2016, we won Santander’s Most Enterprising Community Project award, and our ambition to reach and support people who would benefit from our services became a reality.

Today, StarPhysio is led by Holly and Jo, with Steve continuing to contribute his extensive experience and expertise as part of the wider team. We know that every family’s journey is unique, but our focus has always remained the same: to make a meaningful difference to the lives of the people we work with.

Our StarPhysio Team

Our StarPhysio team has over 50 yrs combined experience across different sectors. This gives us the understanding, expertise and clinical confidence to support children and young people whose needs are often complex and challenging.
We provide comprehensive assessment, treatment, training and advice to children, young people and carers in their homes, nurseries, schools and at our clinical sites across Sussex.

We work closely with families, case managers, patients, multi-disciplinary teams and external providers to ensure each child’s needs are met in full, both clinically and holistically.


We are deeply committed to the development of our team of staff and associates. We want every member of our team to grow their skills and confidence alongside us, ensuring their practice remains aligned with our ethos, vision and values. By investing in training and mentoring, we are building a team culture that is supportive, reflective and forward-looking.


As directors, we continue to develop our own knowledge and leadership to ensure StarPhysio grows sustainably and remains true to its values. Most recently, we returned to Brighton University to complete the government’s Help to Grow course, strengthening our skills in strategic development and long-term planning.

Our approach

At StarPhysio, our approach is grounded in family-centred, whole-person physiotherapy delivered with care, clinical rigour and long-term thinking. We provide land-based and aquatic physiotherapy that prioritises sustainable progress, wellbeing and meaningful outcomes rather than short-term gains.
We continually reflect on and evolve our practice, drawing on clinical evidence, experience and innovation. Our work is shaped around each child and family, recognising the wider systems around them and supporting realistic, individual pathways for growth.

Our values guide everything we do

Compassionate, individualised care for each child and family.
• A focus on long-term wellbeing and sustainable outcomes.
• Treating each child as a whole person within their wider family and support network.
Reflective, evidence-informed practice that continues to evolve.
Providing time, space and clinical depth for families under pressure.
Supporting and developing our staff and associates so practice remains aligned with our values.
