Olufemi Akinleye AKINTUNDE

Experience & Activities

Olufemi Akintunde is a Senior Musculoskeletal physiotherapist of about 10years presently working in the NHS England, I have seen firsthand how physiotherapy through interventions like exercises, manipulation, patient education help in the treatment of injury, disease, disorders and optimisation of physical performances.

I hold a bachelor’s degree in physiotherapy from Obafemi Awolowo University and currently doing my Doctor of Physical Therapy in Arcadia University in the USA.

I believe there are many ways that physiotherapists can participate in global health work beyond direct patient care, aside helping patients recover from injury, reduce pain, stiffness and increase mobility, physiotherapy also plays a big role in the preventive aspect of health care and maintenance of quality of functionalities in people of all ages. This is what forms the core ethics of my current practise, and I derive immense satisfaction from seeing the joys of fulfilled patients.

I am licenced to practice in Nigeria, United Kingdom and currently on my way to acquire the license to practise in the state of New York, USA. I am a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy in UK, a society with track records of significant contributions to the advancement of physiotherapy profession.
