Sarah Key MVO

Sarah Key graduated with a Diploma of Physiotherapy from Sydney University in 1970 before establishing the Sarah Key Physiotherapy Centre in the Harley Street area of London in 1976 at the age of 26. She opened her practice in Sydney’s Bridge Street in 1987 and now treats patients in both the UK and Australia. Sarah has treated members of the Royal Family since 1983 and was made a Member of the Victorian Order by the Queen in 2002.

Sarah is the author of the popular books Back in Action (now in its fifth edition), Body in Action (second edition published 2006, new edition to be published May 2009 in UK) and Back Sufferers’ Bible (second edition published May 2007). The latter is considered the market leader in both the UK and Australia. All books are on sale in Australasia, UK and the USA. Sarah is also the author of Freddie: Diary of a cot death.

Sarah runs the ‘Sarah Key’s Problem Back Masterclasses’ in both Australia and the UK for training small numbers of physiotherapists, osteopaths and GPs in the Sarah Key Method. These four-stage courses have been highly acclaimed for their intellectual rigour, allowing therapists greater access to evidence-informed decisions in their clinical reasoning. SKMCs were commenced in 2003 at the behest of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and are carried out by Sarah in the UK on a charitable basis.

Sarah believes education and understanding back problems is half the cure. With this in mind Sarah, has developed ‘Back-in-a-Week’, unique 5-day intensive therapy programs for patients, which she performs at Hotel Tresanton in Cornwall and her country property in the Upper Hunter in New South Wales.

Sarah Key resides in Sydney and is married and has three adult children: Jemima, Harry and Scarlett.
