Meet your physiotherapist
Physiotherapist.
Researcher. Lifter.
I’m Zizi. I bring clinical reasoning and exercise physiology to the practical demands of lifting, endurance training and everyday life.
My background
Clinical care,
powered by research.
I’m an HCPC-registered physiotherapist with an MSc in Physiotherapy from the University of East Anglia and a BSc in Sports and Exercise Science from Lancaster University.
Clinically trained at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge University Hospitals, I bring NHS experience across musculoskeletal, respiratory and stroke rehabilitation.
My research training at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences (NDORMS) focused on evidence synthesis and review methods.
I am now a pre-doctoral researcher at the Institute of Sports Medicine, Peking University. Alongside clinical imaging work, I lead medical AI studies on model selection, local thresholds and adaptation.

I study training.
I train too.
Before physiotherapy, I worked in personal training and strength coaching. My undergraduate research used treadmill testing to compare running power, heart rate and perceived effort with oxygen consumption.
That foundation shapes how I think about intensity, fatigue and progression. Powerlifting and running are part of my own life, and I understand why getting back to a training session matters.
I work with you in English or Mandarin, connecting the assessment with a plan you understand and can put into practice.
Research & professional community
Ask a better question.
Build useful evidence.
I founded PhyZio to support doctors and physiotherapists developing research with limited resources. A recent collaboration used public data to investigate a clinician’s question about early mobilisation and recovery after joint replacement.
My medical AI work examines what evidence is needed when a model moves into a new setting. Across research and rehabilitation, I am interested in making decisions explicit and measuring the outcomes that matter.
