Speak To The No.1 Back Pain Expert In Walsall:
Walsall’s Leading Back Pain Expert
Discover how people in Walsall, just like you, have got long-term, drug-free back pain relief and have been able to get back to doing the things that they love!
I’m Jay Patel, a Physiotherapist at Back2Fitness Physiotherapy, and I’m widely recognised as Walsall’s leading expert in supporting people with back pain and sciatica. Born and raised in Walsall, I completed my schooling locally before graduating from the University of Nottingham in 2005. With 20 years of postgraduate experience, I’ve helped countless people overcome lower back pain, regain confidence in movement, and return to the activities that matter most to them.
Throughout my career, I’ve successfully treated a wide range of back pain cases, including people who have struggled for months or even years without finding long lasting relief. At Back2Fitness Physiotherapy, I combine expert clinical knowledge with modern, specialist equipment to deliver highly effective care for persistent lower back issues and sciatica.
I began my career within the NHS, working there for six years after graduation. While the experience was valuable, I became increasingly frustrated by the limitations placed on patient care, including long waiting lists, restricted appointment times, and limits on how frequently patients could be seen. I strongly believed these constraints reduced the impact physiotherapy could have on long term recovery.
Moving into private practice allowed me to treat patients with the time, frequency, and attention they truly deserved, focusing on effective results rather than fitting care into a restricted diary.
Back2Fitness Physiotherapy started modestly, originally operating from a small storeroom space in a hotel. As word-of-mouth referrals grew and the clinic’s reputation strengthened, we expanded and moved into our current location in 2017, where we continue to grow.
Today, my clinic offers a combination of advanced back pain treatments including IDD Therapy, Stimpod Therapy, and highly skilled hands-on manual techniques I’ve refined over two decades.
My team and I remain driven by a simple mission: helping patients achieve meaningful goals. Whether that means returning to sport, playing with grandchildren, or simply completing daily tasks like shopping and housework with ease, we build personalised plans that support long term recovery and a better quality of life.
When it comes to back pain, I bring an elite level of experience because I’ve spent years specialising in musculoskeletal care with a strong blend of clinical depth and hands on results. I graduated from Nottingham University in 2005 with a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy, and since then I’ve built over 12 years of physiotherapy experience treating people across the West Midlands.
A major part of my development came from working within the NHS, where I gained specialist knowledge by managing a wide range of complex and persistent back pain cases. I’ve also completed 6 years in private practice, where I’ve been able to deliver more personalised treatment plans that focus on real progress, not quick fixes.
Alongside this, I’ve completed numerous postgraduate training courses in musculoskeletal medicine and orthopaedics, which helps me pinpoint the true cause of back pain and build a plan that gets you moving confidently again.
I was born and raised in Walsall, and I’ve spent my career helping local people move better, feel stronger, and get their confidence back when pain has taken over their life. With 20 years of postgraduate experience, I’ve seen every type of back problem you can imagine, from sudden flare ups to long term sciatica that has stopped people doing the things they love.
I’m not here to offer quick fixes, generic advice, or a one size fits all plan. I take the time to properly listen, understand what’s really going on, and find the true cause of the problem, not just chase symptoms.
In my early career, I worked in the NHS, and although I’m grateful for that experience, I became increasingly frustrated with the limits patients faced. Long waiting lists, short appointments, and restrictions on how often people could be seen meant many never got the consistent care they needed. That is exactly why I moved into private practice, so I could treat people the way they deserve.
At Back2Fitness Physiotherapy, I combine hands on manual therapy with advanced equipment that is designed to support back pain recovery, including specialist treatments like IDD Therapy and Stimpod Therapy. But tools are never the full answer. Real results come from the right plan, delivered consistently, with the right support.
Most importantly, I focus on what matters to you. Whether your goal is getting back to sport, lifting your grandkids, sleeping comfortably, or simply walking without fear, we build your treatment plan around your life, not a generic checklist.
My clinic started in a small storeroom, built on reputation and results. That same commitment still drives everything I do today.
