The Story
I'm Charlotte Doughty, founder and Lead Performance Physiotherapist at Elevare. My career started where every physiotherapist's does — inside the NHS, building the clinical foundation everything since has stood on. From there, I moved into elite women's football, taking on increasing levels of responsibility: Lead Physiotherapist at Everton FC, Women's Pathway Lead for The FA — working across England Women's youth national teams and the FIFA U17 Women's World Cup — and, most recently, Head of Women's Physiotherapy at Manchester United. Alongside this, I've also worked in WSL football and provide ongoing rugby consultancy.
These weren't supporting roles. Each one carried real responsibility for return-to-play decisions, injury management, and the physical development of athletes at the highest level of the women's game. I started Elevare because I saw the gap between that level of care and what's actually available to the person managing the same injuries without a club or the NHS behind them. Elevare closes that gap.
