Sam Fillingham

Hi, I’m Sam and I qualified from Sheffield Hallam University in 2019 with a BSc Hons in Physiotherapy. I have since worked in a variety of specialist areas to become an experienced Physiotherapist. I joined Hallamshire Physiotherapy in 2024, primarily working with Neurological, Paediatric and Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions / Sports injuries.

I worked for Chesterfield FC Women’s First Team and Men’s Academy for over 4 years. Here, I gave individual consultations to identify, diagnose and treat injuries. Issuing sport specific rehab, massage, taping, group S&C and injury prevention sessions, whilst heavily collaborating within the sport medicine team.

I worked at South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust in Stroke rehab, Community therapy, Paediatrics and MSK outpatients Physiotherapy.

Following this I have gained a wealth of experience at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, to become an experienced Rotational Physiotherapist. During this time I have enjoyed working in:

• NeuroSurgery which includes: Neuro-Critical care, Neurology, ENT & MaxFax surgery
• Specialised medicine which includes: oncology, haematology, pulmonary hypertension, infectious diseases, urology, gynaecology and plastic surgery

I currently enjoy working within a team of Nurses, Allied health professionals, Doctors and Consultants on a daily basis in the NHS. I use an evidence-based, patient centred approach, meaning you are in control of your therapy, setting goals specific to your needs. I am passionate on educating people about their condition to achieve best results with their treatment and enhancing quality of life.

Away from work I am a keen tennis player, I enjoy hiking and cycling as well as gardening.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you get back on track!
