Functional LAB
The Team

Four clinicians.
One shared philosophy.

We're all sport therapists and strength & conditioning coaches — which means your rehab and your performance are handled by the same brain, in the same room.

Saimon Silva
Sport Rehabilitator

Saimon Silva

Saimon is a co-founder of Functional LAB as well as a sports rehabilitation specialist, sports massage therapist, and physiotherapist. But before any of that, I’m an ex-footballer (goalkeeper) . I know firsthand the physical grind, the frustration of being benched, and the sacrifices athletes make. Over the years, I’ve treated male and female athletes: from teenagers to adults at clubs like Bromley F.C., Hastings United, and Crawley Town F.C., alongside clinical practice at a traditional Chinese clinic. I genuinely care about getting you better, and I’ll be the first person to tell you when you don't need me anymore and during my session I try to teach you what went wrong and how your muscles work so you stay injury-free. Outside the clinic, I’m an easygoing, quirky guy who loves anime. You’ll always get honest advice, a warm vibe, and practical recovery that works.

How we work

Movement is medicine

Human first

Every plan starts with your goals and lifestyle — not a protocol from a textbook.

Load, don't rest

Progressive, measured loading is the fastest, safest way out of pain.

Evidence-led

We treat with what the research supports — and stay curious about what's next.

One team

Sport therapy + S&C in one room means no hand-offs, no lost weeks between phases.

Meet us in person.

Every journey starts with a 60-minute initial assessment. We'll listen, test, and build your plan together.
