VITRUVIAN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
Our Story
Vitruvian Exercise Physiology was established in 2018 when Matt moved to London from Australia. The name ‘Vitruvian’ was chosen from Leonardo da Vinci’s famous drawing, the Vitruvian Man. The drawing is considered to be a coming together of science and art. Given each of you will present with your own unique set of circumstances, challenges, and goals, we believe there is an art to delivering the science in a way that most suits you as an individual.
In keeping with this, when adding to our team, we not only look for depth of knowledge, technical skill and experience, but nice, caring people too!
Having previously worked within multidisciplinary settings, the Vitruvian team recognises the importance of developing trusted working relationships with local health professionals. We have developed such relationships with GP clinics, Surgeons, Exercise Medicine Consultants, Neurologists, Oncologists and Physiotherapists in West London.
The business managed to negotiate the challenges of Covid by moving online and we have kept this part of the business operational. Currently, as well as providing home visits and gym based appointments, we work remotely with clients in countries including Spain, Iceland, America, Brazil, Switzerland and throughout the UK.

“This team of exercise physiologists worked wonders on me after my total hip replacement, getting me back to a place where I am stronger than I have been for years, feeling really fit and I can’t actually now tell which side was operated on. They are amazing and it was fun too! I now confidently refer patients having professionally and personally seen what they do”
