With over 40 years of experience in the field, Kaliray's career began with a decade in the NHS, where she successfully managed an outpatient department and collaborated closely with orthopaedic consultants. During this period, she also played a key role in establishing a pain clinic alongside an anaesthetist, which significantly broadened her expertise in chronic pain management.

For the past 30-plus years, Balvinder Kaliray has dedicated her practice to the private sector.

Clinically, Kaliray has pursued extensive professional development, completing numerous specialty courses. Her qualifications include an advanced certificate in acupuncture, as well as various orthopaedic medicine, McKenzie, and manual therapy manipulation courses.
