About
Andrea Co-founded Functional LAB to bridge the gap between rehabilitation and performance. After completing his studies in sport rehabilitation and physiotherapy, he also qualified as a strength and conditioning coach and sports massage therapist. His clinical practice connects the treatment room with the playing field, shaped by his personal experiences with sports, injuries, and recovery. After having played competitive football in Italy and training in various sports, repeated ankle, knee, and muscular injuries fueled his interest in biomechanics, human anatomy, rehabilitation, and physical performance. Today, Andrea works with individuals who want to recover from injuries, move better, become stronger, and enhance their physical capacity. For him, performance is not just about athletes; it also encompasses longevity, independence, and quality of life. His goal is for every person to understand their body, gain insights from each session, and feel confident in taking an active role in their progress, all while clearly sensing which muscles are engaged. Outside of Functional LAB, Andrea enjoys training, travelling, watching movies, and following Formula 1.

About
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 worked with 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. During our sessions, I try to teach you what went wrong and how your muscles work so you can 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.
