John Lyttle

Musculoskeletal physiotherapist

I joined AXA Health in 2018 and work within the Muscles, Bones and Joints service as an Advanced Level Physiotherapist.

I graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2010 and then went on to complete a Masters in Physiotherapy, with a specialisation in Musculoskeletal Management. Professionally, my career has been a mix of NHS work, private practice, professional sport and here at AXA Health.

I have a particular interest in the physiotherapy management of headaches but am passionate in all areas of physiotherapy.

I've been involved in the CPD Steering group for a number of years. This group guides the training and development of the physiotherapy team and we are very proud of the programmes we've delivered.

Away from work, I'm a keen fitness enthusiast - mixing multisport endurance events with surfing, mountain biking and CrossFit.
