Ms Einav Cohen

I am the founder of Rise NW10 Physiotherapy in Kensal Rise, London. It was my journey as a professional judo competitor that inspired me to become a physiotherapist. Competing regularly in international judo championships, I experienced many injuries, and a very severe ankle sprain almost prevented me from continuing my career. After going through an intense course of physiotherapy rehabilitation that brought me back to sport, I became fascinated by the healing process and how the body can recover with the right treatment and guidance. My first experience in the working world was as a gym instructor and a children’s judo coach. I graduated from university in 2012 with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy. I began my career in a hospital setting, treating respiratory and oncology-related conditions, before moving to the orthopaedic department for three years. During this time, I also worked within the military as a civilian physiotherapist, providing treatment for a wide variety of injuries, including sports injuries and post-operative rehabilitation. One of my favourite areas of practice is treating runners. I have a holistic and comprehensive understanding of high-level activity and the injuries associated with it. Running injuries are rarely just about one painful structure — they are often the result of training load, biomechanics, strength imbalances, recovery, and lifestyle factors. I enjoy analysing all of these components to create an effective and individualised rehabilitation plan. My philosophy is always to keep patients active whenever possible. I strongly believe that complete rest is rarely the answer. Instead of stopping all activity because of injury, I work creatively to modify training, maintain fitness, and support recovery while respecting tissue healing timelines. Being a good physiotherapist demands knowledge, experience, clinical reasoning, and creativity — and I bring all of these elements into every treatment plan. Life brought me to London ten years ago. Since then, I have been working in the private sector, treating patients with a wide range of musculoskeletal problems and sports injuries. Having lived in Kensal Rise since arriving in London, it felt natural to set up my dream clinic here and bring my passion for physiotherapy to the local community. I have extensive knowledge of physiology, health, and fitness, combined with a proactive and determined approach to helping my patients achieve maximum rehabilitation results. Qualifications: Chartered Physiotherapist, HCPC Registered Postgraduate in Manual Therapy Postgraduate in Hydrotherapy Postgraduate in Physiotherapy for Oncology Patients Postgraduate in Running Assessment and Injury-Related Treatment Postgraduate in Persistent Low Back Pain Treatment Fitness and Health Instructor In my free time, I enjoy weightlifting, yoga, meditation, and being a mum.
