About Arjun Mehra

Dual-qualified Osteopath and Chartered Physiotherapist based in London, combining hands-on treatment, rehabilitation, movement therapy, and evidence-informed care to support long-term recovery and better movement.

My Journey Into Osteopathy & Physiotherapy

Growing up in a British Asian family, ending up in healthcare probably wasn't going to shock anyone. What was less predictable was that an experience with an osteopath at the age of 12 would help shape the career I eventually chose.

I was struggling with headaches at the time, and that experience sparked a fascination with osteopathy and the human body that stayed with me. I've always been fascinated by how the body works, how it adapts and what it's capable of, and that curiosity eventually led me to the British School of Osteopathy, where I qualified as an osteopath in 2013.

After qualifying, I began developing my experience in clinical practice, and in 2014 I established Jigsaw Osteopathy Clinic. The name Jigsaw came from something I was already beginning to recognise: there isn't always one simple explanation for why someone is in pain. Different pieces of the picture can matter, and sometimes an important piece simply hasn't been considered yet.

As my career progressed, so did my interest in exercise, strength and rehabilitation, and that interest became personal too. Through my own journey with weight loss and strength training, going from around 150kg to 90kg, I experienced first-hand what becoming stronger and more physically capable can do, not just for how we move, but for our confidence in what our bodies can do.

My growing interest in rehabilitation eventually led me back to university to train as a physiotherapist. I didn't want to replace the way I already worked; I wanted to add to it. Today, being qualified in both professions allows me to combine hands-on treatment with rehabilitation and exercise, helping people become stronger, move with more confidence and return to the things that matter to them.

Who I Work With

I work with adults and teenagers of all backgrounds and activity levels from people managing pain, stiffness, injury, or long-standing symptoms, to those looking to move better, return to exercise, improve physical confidence, or stay active long-term.

A large part of my work involves supporting active individuals, gym-goers, runners and people balancing training, work and everyday life, particularly when pain, overload, movement restrictions or recurring injuries begin to affect performance, recovery or quality of life.

You do not need to be sporty, and you do not need to be in severe pain to seek support. Whether symptoms are new, recurring, or difficult to fully understand, you are welcome here.

Clinical Experience & Background

I qualified from the British School of Osteopathy (now University College of Osteopathy) in 2013 and later completed a Master's degree in Physiotherapy at the University of Brighton.

My training and career have given me experience across private practice, NHS and hospital settings, and specialist clinics, working with people at different stages of recovery and with a broad range of straightforward and more complex presentations.

My clinical experience includes:

Neck, back, joint and muscle pain
Sports and gym-related injuries
Tendon and overuse problems
Persistent and recurring musculoskeletal conditions
Post-surgical rehabilitation
Pregnancy and postnatal-related pain
More complex presentations requiring longer-term rehabilitation or additional medical input

Working across different clinical environments has also given me experience alongside GPs, consultants and other healthcare professionals, particularly where further investigation, imaging or onward referral may be appropriate.

Community & Voluntary Healthcare Work

Alongside my clinical work in the UK, I've been fortunate to be involved in community and voluntary healthcare projects both locally and internationally.

This has included working with children and adults with neurological and developmental conditions, as well as volunteering in communities where access to healthcare and rehabilitation can be limited.

I've always enjoyed working with people from different backgrounds and in different environments. This work has challenged me to adapt how I communicate, assess and treat, particularly when language, culture, resources or someone's individual needs require a different approach.

Ultimately, this work has taught me that good healthcare isn't only about what you know, but how well you listen, communicate and adapt to the person in front of you.
