Felipe Forte

Felipe Forte is Merseyside Health’s leading specialist spinal Physiotherapist. While spinal rehabilitation is often recognized as one of the most complex and challenging aspects of physiotherapy practice. Having Felipe’s expertise shared within our team has significantly improved outcomes for our patients with the most complex presentations.

Central to this success is Felipe’s passion for helping people recover their confidence and ability to engage in the activities that matter most to them. With extensive experience in musculoskeletal physiotherapy, Felipe focuses on creating real and lasting impact—whether it’s empowering someone to lift heavy objects after years of pain or supporting them in living a new lifestyle without the fear of pain. He does this through a combination of manual techniques, exercise rehabilitation and cognitive approaches often referred to as multimodal care.

Felipe’s approach is deeply person-centered, shaped by his genuine interest in people’s unique stories and challenges. Having worked in different scenarios ranging from professional sport to high-demanding industries and general population, he understands that a person’s journey is key to designing effective treatment plans that address pain, personal goals and lifestyle aspirations.

Felipe’s career journey took him from his hometown in Brazil to England, where he pursued advanced academic training and diverse clinical experiences in both private practice and the NHS. Working with thousands of individuals suffering from musculoskeletal pain and his commitment to continuous learning, Felipe has developed an evidence-based approach to treatment combining modern hands-on, exercise and behavioral change strategies.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Felipe is a sports enthusiast, with a particular passion for surfing, and dreams of one day riding the waves alongside his family.
