About me

Harris is a Musculoskeletal Specialist Physiotherapist with a Master’s in Manual Therapy, over 10 years of experience in musculoskeletal rehabilitation, and 5 years in digital health. Throughout his clinical journey, he has worked across diverse healthcare settings, including private and public hospitals, physiotherapy clinics, and virtual care services.

On the development side, Harris has contributed to designing and implementing digital health pathways within the UK’s NHS, supporting primary care networks with the aim of reducing patient waiting times and alleviating pressure on general practitioners.

Two years ago, he returned to Greece with the vision of improving physiotherapy accessibility for people facing barriers to timely, appropriate care. He founded and now leads a digital-first physiotherapy clinic (PhysioKnoWalls), delivering both B2C and B2B services.

His mission is to empower patients to become more autonomous through self-management strategies, offered via one-to-one consultations and innovative digital health solutions.
