Ed Davis — NHS Enhanced Practice physiotherapist
Qualified from UWE Bristol in 2013, Ed has spent his career across NHS hospital rotations, community MSK teams, primary care and private practice. Today he runs Wyvern Physiotherapy alongside his NHS First Contact Practitioner role in West Somerset.
Over a decade of NHS clinical reasoning,
brought into private practice.
Ed Davis is a physiotherapist qualified from the University of the West of England, Bristol in 2013. He works at Enhanced Practice Level within the NHS and continues to do so alongside Wyvern Physiotherapy, his private practice.
He is passionate about person-centred care — seeing the individual, not just the problem. His approach is unhurried and evidence-led: a thorough assessment, a clear plan, and continued support after you leave the room — whether in person or by video.
Away from the clinic room, he has grown up around sport and was until recently a season ticket holder at his beloved Exeter City FC. He enjoys walking and exploring new areas, but above all, time with his partner and children.
Ed holds CSP member insurance, including £10 million public liability cover. View PLI certificate (valid to 30 June 2027)

Operational Manager promotion
Promoted to MSK Physiotherapy & Podiatry Operational Manager for community hospital sites. Continued to spend half of each week in primary care, working at GP surgeries across West Somerset.
