Ben has spent much of his career developing a particular interest and expertise in working with runners, both in injury rehabilitation and performance.

Graduating from the University of Liverpool with First Class Honours in Physiotherapy in 2016, Ben spent the next 10 years working in private musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Over that time, running has become his main clinical specialism, working with runners of every level, from complete beginners through to elite athletes and Olympians.

As a 2:39 marathon runner, Ben understands running from both sides of the treatment room. He understands the training, the physiology and biomechanics, but also what it feels like to be injured when running is an important part of your life. That combination of clinical experience, science and his own training allows Ben to look beyond simply getting you pain-free. Ben wants to understand why the problem developed, build your capacity back up and help you become a better runner in the process.

Ben particularly enjoys working across the 5K to marathon distances, as well as with trail and ultramarathon runners. His main clinical interests include lower-limb tendon pain, bone stress injuries, and he works closely with sports doctors and other healthcare professionals when an injury requires a wider team approach.

Just as importantly, you don’t need to be injured to work with Ben, he loves helping healthy runners improve their performance, whether that means becoming stronger and more robust, improving your running technique, or chasing a new PB.

Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find Ben running, or spending time with his wife and two young children.

I’ve been a physiotherapist since 2010, and I do my best work with people who haven’t got better elsewhere: persistent pain, injuries that keep coming back, post-operative recoveries that have stalled, or you’ve being told to “just manage it”. A second opinion isn’t a step back. It’s often the step that finally moves things forward.

Elite sport and private practice, side by side I worked with The FA across 10 years and represented England in 89 international fixtures, which included supporting the Powerchair team at two World Cups (runners-up, 2023, third place, 2017). I was also physiotherapist for Josh Patterson’s world-record 76 marathons in 76 days, in 76 UK cities, from pre-hab and load management through on-event care to rehabilitation. Alongside this I’ve always worked in private practice, so I understand both elite demands and everyday life.

Passionate about teaching other physiotherapists

I host The Physio Coach Podcast available on all podcast platforms and Youtube. Episodes are released every two weeks sharing knowledge to other practitioners around the world. 

A trusted London network I work closely with leading orthopaedic and sports medicine consultants, so if your case needs more than physio, we already know who to call.

Qualifications

MSc Physiotherapy

BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science

HCPC registered PH96102

How we work Every client follows The Better Plan: listening deeply, understanding your problem, testing, not guessing, create a clear plan for recovery, one that you can stick to, one that helps you finish the job (and achieve more that you perhaps realised you could…) so you feel better and live better.

I’m rated top for London physiotherapists on Doctify, with 91 five-star reviews.

My motto is “better never ends”. Outside the clinic I’m busy with my wife and two young children, and I stay active with running, golf and the gym.

Recovery starts with being truly heard

I’m Tim Beames, and I specialise in helping people with persistent pain find a way forward - especially when conventional approaches haven’t worked. CRPS, chronic pelvic pain syndrome, complex musculoskeletal presentations. The cases that don’t fit neat diagnostic boxes. The stories that are complicated.

Over 25 years, I’ve learned that my role isn’t to ‘fix’ you—it’s to guide and support you in understanding your pain and developing strategies for your unique situation. Recovery is possible when we address all contributing factors: body, mind, and life circumstances. That means integrating contemporary pain science with manual therapy (for relief), movement work (for confidence), gym-based rehabilitation (for capacity), and psychology-informed care (because pain is complex).

But here’s what really matters: I listen. I create space. I sit comfortably with uncertainty. And I genuinely care about helping you rebuild confidence in your body and your life.

I’ve co-authored The Graded Motor Imagery Handbook, taught pain science across 35+ countries to 10,000+ clinicians, and co-founded Le Pub Scientifique—an international platform exploring evolving ideas about pain. I hold an MSc in Pain: Science & Society (Distinction) from King’s College London and believe deeply that “better never ends.”

Why Better? The philosophy here—”we don’t fix you, we help you fix yourself” - fits my approach and understanding perfectly. I love working with a team that shares these values: collaboration over fixing, empathy over protocols, and helping people truly thrive.

If you’ve been struggling and need someone who will actually listen while we figure out a different path forward—I’m here.
