Dr Matthew ABJ Potts BSc MSc DC ISPRM
Clinical Director
Dr Matt has over 28 years experience working with scoliosis and other complex spinal conditions. He is a best-selling author, editor of a medical journal, international speaker and chair of various medical conferences and clinical advisory boards.
Dr Matt oversees the clinical management of each patient and the prescription of scoliosis braces. Whilst he often needs to travel to teach and spends time in Italy performing research, you will often see him in the clinic and he is available to consult on all cases with your lead practitioner.
After graduating from Salford University, I have spent the past five years working at the Dorsi Spinal Institute, where I specialise in hands-on patient care, prescribing personalised exercise, and helping individuals achieve better spinal health.
I am a dedicated scoliosis specialist with extensive experience in diagnosing, managing, and treating spinal deformities across all age groups. Known for a patient-centered approach, I combine advanced diagnostic tools with evidence-based treatments to create personalised care plans that improve quality of life and spinal function. I am committed to helping patients achieve optimal outcomes and long-term spinal health.
Outside of work, I am a regular at the gym and have a passion for sports, always striving to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. This personal commitment to fitness complements my professional focus on physical well-being, making me a well-rounded advocate for health and rehabilitation.
Paul Fleming BSc MSc
Senior MSK Consultant
After sustaining an injury to his hand which required 3 rounds of surgery and 2 years of rehabilitation to return to normal function, Paul realised that something was missing from his rehabilitative journey: Whilst he could use his hand for normal life, he had lost a lot of his ability to move the rest of his body whist the focus was solely on his hand.
Noting that this seemed to be the case for the majority of people, Paul then set off on the path of re-educating himself so that he could help others have a better experience with rehabilitation from pain, injury or the dysfunction that a sedentary lifestyle causes.
He has a bachelors and masters degree and a vast amount of post graduate training, allowing him to develop a treatment programme that is tailored to your health status and your goals. He liaises with the rest of the team to assure a multi-disciplinary team approach to your care.
Sarah Corden BSc MSc ISPRM
Senior Scoliosis Consultant and Advacned Scolibrace Clinician
Sarah is currently on maternity leave and will be returning to work in 2026.
My name is Solange "Sol" Andrade and I’m a passionate exercise rehabilitation specialist with a keen focus on scoliosis and hyperkyphosis management.
I was born in Lisbon, Portugal and moved to the UK in 2015 to pursue my education and career, marking the beginning of a transformative journey that would shape my professional path.
I graduated with a degree in Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation in 2020, before advancing my expertise with a Master’s in Applied Sports and Exercise Science in 2021. My studies were driven by a deep interest in biomechanics and the human body, leading me to specialise in the rehabilitation of individuals with scoliosis and hyperkyphosis, two common postural conditions that affect both adolescents and adults.
In my professional practice, I apply a holistic approach, combining exercise rehabilitation with the latest research and techniques to help my patients achieve better posture, mobility, and pain relief.
Beyond my professional life, I’m an avid practitioner of aerial hoop and dance, disciplines that reflect my passion for movement and physical expression. I also enjoys yoga and pilates, which complement my rehabilitation work and provide me with a balanced approach to physical and mental well-being. These hobbies not only help me stay physically fit but also inspire my work, as I integrate flexibility, strength, and body awareness into my rehabilitation programs.
Driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact on people's lives, I continue to learn, grow, and inspire others to live healthier, more active lifestyles.

Nigel Gildersleve BSc Hons Ost
Osteopath - Marylebone, London Clinic only.
Nigel Gildersleve BSc Hons Ost trained at the London School of Osteopathy obtaining a BSc Hons in Osteopathy in 2000.
During his training he embraced the modern imaging techniques, that have become an important part of the diagnosis for patients attending The London Spine Clinic.
This was made possible by Dr Simon Blease FRCR FFSEM, a Musculo-skeletal Radiologist who set up the first Harley Street Open MRI Center, and is a highly valued member of the team.
Nigel was an International level Squash Coaching professional for 20 years, giving over 25,000 lessons throughout UK, Europe & the Middle East, and discovered Osteopathy following a back injury moving house; Treated by an Osteopath at his club for the first time and was so impressed with this Osteopathic treatment that a new career was launched.
His time in the squash world exposed him to a varied spectrum of sports injuries, and has a personal interest in sports injuries, their treatment and rehabilitation..
My daughter has had excellent treatment from start to finish for her scoliosis which we discovered fairly late on and which was moderate heading for severe as she was still growing.
Matthew and his team have such passion and extensive knowledge in this field and are absolutely determined to reach the best possible outcome. They were always there to answer questions during the process and worked incredibly hard to take into account any specific needs we had.
The result is fantastic. Our daughter’s curve is now classified as mild (and at the lower end of mild in fact). The alternatives we were considering were only attempting to stop the curve getting worse, so we’re delighted that we put our trust in Matthew and got this incredible result where the curve is considerably better than it was at the outset. We’re thrilled and very thankful.

I have been going to the Dorsi Spinal Institute for about two months and after years of living with chronic back pain and seeing different doctors I'm finally starting to live pain free, also my mobility has improved so much. The staff is very friendly and professional, I can't thank them enough.
Lee Child
Outstanding patient care... We came across Dorsi when a family member needed specialist support for a spine condition; support that initially only seemed to be available in London. Dr Potts, Sarah and the rest of the team have gone above and beyond to help us. The level of care they have provided, their professionalism and dedication to their work is amazing to see! Thank you.
