Niagara Barreto

I qualified as a physiotherapist in Brazil in 2007 and hold postgraduate training in Public Health, Hospital Physiotherapy, and Mental Health. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong focus on musculoskeletal care, geriatrics, and supporting people with long-term conditions. My clinical journey has taken me from Brazil to England, and now to Edinburgh, where I joined Physis in early 2025.

I’m passionate about helping people move more freely, manage chronic pain, and feel better in their bodies. My approach blends evidence-based techniques with a holistic understanding of how physical, neurological, and emotional health are deeply connected. I have a particular interest in MSK physiotherapy, neurorehabilitation, acupuncture, and chronic pain care.

Above all, I aim to offer compassionate, personalised support that helps each client find balance, build resilience, and achieve meaningful, lasting results.
