Lead Physiotherapist and Msk Sonographer
Expert in Lower Limb and Running Injuries
If you've been struggling with hip or groin pain, a frustrating running injury, or feel like you've been passed from pillar to post without real answers, you're in the right place.
Benoy Mathew is one of the UK's leading specialists in hip and groin conditions and running-related injuries — but more than that, he genuinely understands what it feels like to be a patient. Having undergone multiple knee surgeries himself, Benoy knows first-hand the anxiety, uncertainty, and determination that comes with navigating injury and recovery. That personal experience shapes everything about the care he provides.
Benoy is an Advanced Practice Physiotherapist and MSK Sonographer with over 25 years of clinical experience. He works within the specialist team at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust — one of the UK's most prestigious teaching hospitals — where he runs the complex cases and review clinics.
He is the author of Hip and Knee Pain Disorders, published by Elsevier, a definitive clinical textbook used by MSK practitioners across the world. He also teaches internationally, including hip and groin, running and shockwave courses - meaning the knowledge he brings to your appointment is truly at the cutting edge of the profession.
The specialist other specialists refer to
A significant number of Benoy's patients come to him as a second or third opinion — many referred directly by other physiotherapists and clinicians who are struggling to reach a clear diagnosis or establish an effective rehabilitation plan. This is a testament to the trust the wider clinical community places in his expertise. If you've already seen someone and still don't have answers, you are far from alone — and this is precisely where Benoy excels. He has a particular gift for untangling complex, long-standing cases that haven't responded to previous treatment, giving patients the clarity and direction they've been searching for.
At YOS Health, Benoy combines three specialist skill sets that are rarely found under one roof:
Diagnostic Ultrasound — Using advanced imaging technology, Benoy can visualise your injury in real time during your appointment, giving you clear answers rather than lengthy waits for external scans.
Ultrasound-Guided Injection Therapy — When injections are appropriate, Benoy uses live ultrasound guidance to ensure pinpoint accuracy, maximising both safety and effectiveness.
Shockwave Therapy — As a nationally recognised trainer in shockwave therapy for STORZ UK (Venn Healthcare), Benoy offers one of the most advanced shockwave services available, particularly effective for stubborn tendon conditions and chronic pain.
A specialist you can trust
Whether you're a runner trying to get back to the sport you love, someone dealing with longstanding hip or groin pain, or simply looking for clear, honest answers — Benoy's approach is always the same: listen carefully, assess thoroughly, and work with you to find the right solution.
“I never want a patient leaving my clinic confused. You should walk out understanding exactly what's going on, why it's happened, and what we're going to do about it together."
