Advanced Practitioner Physiotherapist & MSK Sonographer
Benoy Mathew, MSc, MCSP, PGCMSK US, PGCNMP, is an Advanced Practitioner Physiotherapist, First Contact Practitioner (FCP), MSK Sonographer and Independent Non-Medical Prescriber with extensive experience in musculoskeletal assessment and treatment.
At Clearcut Physiotherapy’s Eltham clinic, Benoy combines advanced clinical assessment with diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound to assess joint, tendon and soft-tissue problems and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
His advanced-practice expertise includes:
The focus is not simply on treating symptoms. Benoy aims to understand the factors contributing to the problem, provide evidence-based clinical guidance and help patients make informed decisions about rehabilitation, treatment and onward referral where required.
Some hip, groin and lower-limb problems don’t follow a straightforward recovery. Symptoms can persist, return with activity or remain unclear despite previous assessment and rehabilitation. In these situations, a more detailed clinical assessment may help provide a clearer direction.
If you’ve completed physiotherapy or rehabilitation but continue to experience pain or limitations, Benoy can review your symptoms, previous treatment and progress to determine whether a different approach may be appropriate.
Recurring pain or injuries can be frustrating, particularly when symptoms improve temporarily before returning with running, exercise or sport. A detailed assessment can help identify factors that may be contributing to the recurrence.
Sometimes symptoms don’t fit neatly into a single diagnosis. Benoy combines detailed clinical assessment with advanced clinical reasoning and MSK ultrasound where appropriate to help build a clearer understanding of your presentation.
If you’ve made progress but reached a point where rehabilitation is no longer producing the expected improvement, reassessing your condition can help determine whether your current management needs to change.
When you’ve been given different diagnoses or treatment recommendations, an experienced second clinical perspective can help review the available information and provide clearer guidance on the appropriate next steps.
Further rehabilitation, diagnostic imaging, MSK ultrasound, injection therapy or onward referral may be appropriate depending on your condition. Benoy can help determine the most suitable pathway based on your individual assessment.
A detailed assessment begins with understanding your symptoms and previous treatment before moving through a structured clinical examination. Where appropriate, MSK ultrasound can provide additional information.
Benoy will discuss your symptoms, when they started, what affects them, previous injuries, treatment, rehabilitation and your activity or sporting demands.
Relevant physiotherapy, rehabilitation, imaging reports and previous diagnoses can be reviewed to understand what has been tried and how you have responded.
Your movement, strength, mobility and functional limitations will be assessed alongside the affected area to develop a clearer understanding of your presentation.
Where clinically indicated, diagnostic MSK ultrasound can complement the physical assessment by examining relevant muscles, tendons, joints and soft tissues in real time.
Benoy will discuss the assessment findings and recommend appropriate next steps, which may include rehabilitation, further investigation, treatment or onward referral.

Hassan has done wonderful work with my knee, making exercises fun and engaging. I’m leaving happy and confident to continue my ork outs and build up to playing tennis matches as well. Thank you Hassan and team!

where I came with a knee injury I was in low spirits – Hassan has helped me build confidence doing exercises that I thought I wouldn’t be doing again. The sessions felt personal to my goals, and I have really felt the benefits!

I highly recommend clearcut Physiotherapy. I had neck pain for years and after one month at clearcut physio my pain was resolved. Furthermore, I’ve been given exercises I can do at home and on my own to strengthen my neck and prevent future pain.

When hip, groin or lower-limb problems become persistent or difficult to resolve, Clearcut combines advanced clinical expertise, detailed assessment and personalised care to help determine the most appropriate way forward.
Benoy brings advanced-practice experience in complex musculoskeletal conditions, with particular expertise in hip, groin, running and lower-limb problems.
Your symptoms, medical history, previous treatment, movement and functional needs are considered together to develop a clearer understanding of your condition.
Treatment and rehabilitation recommendations are informed by current evidence, clinical experience and your individual presentation, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
We welcome patients whose symptoms have not followed a straightforward recovery, including those who have already tried physiotherapy or rehabilitation without achieving the expected progress.
The aim is to help you understand your condition and options more clearly, whether the appropriate next step is rehabilitation, further investigation, treatment or onward referral.
Physiotherapy can help with a wide range of persistent or recurring problems affecting the hip, groin, knee, Achilles, calf, foot and ankle. This may include tendon problems, running injuries, overuse conditions, joint pain and sports-related injuries.
If pain is persistent, keeps returning, affects everyday activities or limits exercise and sport, a physiotherapy assessment can help identify the contributing factors and determine an appropriate treatment and rehabilitation plan.
Yes. Physiotherapy can help identify why an injury is recurring, address contributing factors and develop a progressive rehabilitation programme to help you return to running safely and build back towards your previous level of activity.
Not necessarily. The need for further imaging depends on your symptoms, clinical findings and previous investigations. If additional imaging is appropriate, Benoy can discuss the relevant options or recommend onward referral.
Bring details of any previous physiotherapy, relevant medical history, imaging reports or scan results, and information about treatments you have already tried. If you’re a runner or athlete, details of your training and activity levels can also be useful.
Get a detailed assessment of your hip, groin or lower-limb problem and a clearer understanding of the appropriate next steps.
We’re available 7 days a week and have specific clinic hours with therapists on staff. Outside of normal clinic hours, you can receive an on-call therapist at your home if needed.
