Steph Smith-Rowles
Founder, Managing Director & Specialist MSk Physiotherapist
CHELTENHAM
Steph is the inspiration, the passion and the driving force behind the Pea Green Physio but she is the first to admit that she could not have created such a home for healthy bodies and healing hands all on her own. The success of her business depended entirely on finding others who were highly qualified, but more importantly, who shared her belief that looking after people’s bodies also meant looking after people.

Roisin O'Farrell
Sports Therapist, Sports Massage Therapist & Rehabilitator
Roisin is based at our BICESTER clinic and works Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
My love for understanding and treating sports injuries started when I was in college. Our sports science program included sports injuries and sports massage which sparked my interest from the very beginning! We gained experience supporting the college sports teams and even volunteering to provide sports massage at the London marathon. Working so closely with the athletes and helping them with their recovery pushed me to pursue a career in sports therapy – now I get to do it every day! In my spare time I enjoy horse riding and weight training in the gym. I love keeping active and I think this allows me to empathise with clients when they get injured, we get injured too!
After graduating in 2020, I started working in men’s non league football. I was able to put everything I had learnt into practice – but I felt like something was missing. I started working in sports injury clinics not long after which allowed me to deal with injuries outside of football. I was then able to further my understanding of sports injuries, health conditions which affect the body and how it worked, and general aches and pains.
Fast forward to 2023, I now have the pleasure of working with the Arsenal Women’s academy, MK Dons academy and now Pea Green Physio!
