About us

Strength & Movability was founded by Desiderio Sepa Malale, a First-Class qualified physiotherapist, elite performance coach, and professional athlete with over 15 years of experience in high-performance training and more than 10 years specialising in sports massage and injury rehabilitation.

Desiderio has worked with elite performers and organisations including the National Ballet, the London Marathon, and professional athletes across multiple disciplines. His approach is built around one clear goal: helping people recover from injury, move pain-free, and perform at their best—whether in sport, work, or everyday life.

Combining evidence-based physiotherapy with over 40,000 hours of clinical and hands-on experience, Desiderio delivers highly personalised care rooted in a multidisciplinary, results-driven approach. His treatments integrate advanced physiotherapy, sports massage, movement and gait analysis, postural assessment, and injury prevention to address the root cause of pain, not just the symptoms.

As a competitive kickboxer, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athlete, and elite hybrid coach, Desiderio understands the demands placed on the body at the highest level. Every session at Strength & Movability is tailored with precision—designed to optimise movement, accelerate recovery, and deliver lasting results for both athletes and everyday clients.
