Redefining Physiotherapy at Finchley Road
SpineAlign was founded on the belief that rehabilitation should never feel rushed. We recognised that many patients were receiving generic advice rather than the focused, one-to-one care they deserved. Our clinic was built to provide unhurried appointments, personalised treatment plans, and dedicated clinical attention for every individual.
Today, our Finchley Road clinic brings together clinical expertise and a carefully curated therapeutic environment. With soft lighting, considered interiors, and a compassionate team, we take the time to understand not just your injury, but the lifestyle, goals, and challenges that surround it.

Lead Physiotherapist
Hiral Ghoghari
Lead Physiotherapist & IAFT Instructor
I am an HCPC Registered Physiotherapist with over 7 years of clinical experience in musculoskeletal and spinal care. I completed my Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) from Government Physiotherapy College, VNSGU, India, in 2019.
My Professional Journey
My journey in physiotherapy began in India, where I developed my clinical expertise through hands-on patient care and progressive professional experience. I later took on the role of Clinic Director at Spine Cure Chiro and Ortho Pain Clinic, where I was responsible for comprehensive patient assessments, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and the management of spinal and musculoskeletal conditions.
Since Moving to the UK
At the end of December 2024, I moved to the United Kingdom to further develop my professional career and broaden my clinical experience. Since then, I have continued working as a Senior Physiotherapist, providing personalised care for patients with musculoskeletal, neurological, and pain-related conditions. My UK experience includes advanced manual therapy, rehabilitation, soft tissue techniques, dry needling, cupping, sports massage, deep tissue massage, and craniosacral therapy.
Certifications & Approach
Alongside my physiotherapy experience, I have developed a strong background in fitness, exercise, and movement. I am certified in Pilates instruction, fitness and gym training, yoga and power yoga, pre- and postnatal fitness, nutrition, and aerobics. Today, I am proud to bring together my clinical experience from India and the UK, offering professional, patient-focused physiotherapy and complementary therapeutic treatments in London.
My goal is simple: to help every patient move better, feel better, and regain confidence in their body.

What Patients Say About Hiral
Verified reviews from patients treated by Hiral.
"I've had many sessions with other Physiotherapist in the past for knee and the ankle pain which have always massively helped with my issues. I have just three sessions with Hiral for some ankle pain and they have wonder, excerise plans are always clear and easy to follow and all the staff take a very pragmatic approach to how many sessions you might need. Would always recommend to anyone in need of a good Physiotherapist
" I broke my fibula last year and while the bone healed quite quickly, the muscles and tendons in my leg were still giving me problems months later, and the joint at the knee felt twisted. Hiral has provided incredible treatment with deep tissue massage and recommended exercises. After the months of discomfort I am really noticing a difference so I am very grateful the service provided!"
"I had five sessions on my shoulder and arms with Hiral who was truly fantastic. I'd been in constant pain for weeks, not being able to sleep, and other therapists I'd seen were a little too "softly softly" in their approach and had not really given me any benefit at all. Hiral, though, understood the issues readily and manipulated my arms and shoulders in various ways over the weekly sessions, releasing tight muscle with deep tissue massage, and pulling me into stretches to re-stimulate movement. The exercises she gave me have been spot on, too, and my progress has been impressive. I am now pretty much pain free, sleeping way better and feel altogether more positive in myself. Thanks, Hiral!"
"My mom has been seeing Hiral for the last 3 weeks for reflexology, and she loves it. The pain in her feet has improved a lot. "
"I recently had a massage with hiral and had an amazing experience. She was professional, welcoming, and made me feel comfortable from the start. Her technique was excellent, and she paid attention to the areas that needed the most work. I left feeling much more relaxed and refreshed afterwards. I’d definitely recommend hiral to anyone looking for a high-quality massage and will be returning in the future. "
"Hiral was absolutely amazing - she knew exactly what she was doing and I even fell asleep. Very relaxed. Thank you Hiral ! "
"I came in for a back issue and Hiral was amazing - she sorted everything out and I’m now completely pain free after just two sessions. Magic! "
"Hiral was a massive help getting rid of pain in my upper back, felt so much better even after the first session. Would recommend!"
" Relaxing, clean atmosphere. Very skilled and professional, Understanding my pain because frozen shoulder I received the best massage by Hiral Definitely recommended."
