Testimonials
- “My physio was brilliant and immediately lifted my spirits with a structured programme which showed I could still make the run”
- “I was able to get an appointment on the same day at the clinic. The physiotherapist was able to diagnose my injury and reassure me nothing was broken. All aspects of my treatment were explained to me and I got back to playing in three weeks.”
- “The gym and rehabilitation facilities are excellent and ideal for making a quick recovery.”
- “He analysed my running style and quickly diagnosed over-tight ITB bands and leg length discrepancy. A bit of orthopaedic foam in one of my shoes and a foam roller is all that was required, along with some simple stretches.”
- “At last someone who listens, understands and most importantly knows how to effectively treat this very debilitating injury”
- “His friendly, reassuring, and practical approach also helped to demystify the whole business and make me feel that I would be running again in no time, and I am. I am running regularly for exercise and semi-competitively and it's all thanks to him.”
- “I began a gradual programme specifically tailored and monitored and amazingly I not only completed the New York marathon but achieved my original goal time of 4 hours!!!”
- “My physio liaised directly with my consultant and tailored my rehabilitation to my specific goals.”
- “Thank you to all at Complete Physio in Kentish Town for my excellent care.”

Mark Archer mark@complete-physio.co.uk BSc (hons) HPC MCSP, ACPSM Dance UK Mark qualified from Brunel University in 2003 but his physiotherapy education really started as a young athlete and rugby player. After breaking, spraining and twisting nearly everything, Mark finally accepted he was more cut out to be on the other side of the physio bench. Working for the NHS, Mark quickly specialised as a musculoskeletal outpatient physiotherapist. During this time he dealt extensively with post operative lower limb rehabilitation, but his main interest was the treatment of clients with complex lower back conditions. He was part of an NHS research team who published findings in 'Physiotherapy Journal' on the treatment of patients with chronic lower back pain. He has been working within sports injury clinics since his NHS days and has developed a specialist interest in dance injury and rehabilitation. This culminated in his current position at the Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. However, despite this particular interest his scope of experience is far wider, having worked with professional and elite rugby players and teams, top flight gymnasts and National and International Martial Artists. |
