Testimonials
- “My physio was brilliant and immediately lifted my spirits with a structured programme which showed I could still make the run”
- “Thank you to all at Complete Physio in Kentish Town for my excellent care.”
- “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.”
- “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.”
- “My physio liaised directly with my consultant and tailored my rehabilitation to my specific goals.”
- “At last someone who listens, understands and most importantly knows how to effectively treat this very debilitating injury”
- “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.”
- “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!!!”
- “The gym and rehabilitation facilities are excellent and ideal for making a quick recovery.”
