Complete Physio Clinic

“ I think it would be fair to say that on the whole it's the allied health professionals who have the best bedside manner (yes, I'm biased, but honest), and Michael's no exception.
Case history is taken concisely and relevantly, giving you a chance to air your hunches about what's up. A visual/kinesthetic assessment of posture and flexibilty comes next, and then an open and honest discussion about treatment options, with room for manoeuvre based on your preferences.
We looked at the repercussions of an old sacral ligament injury, and the postural effects of amassed hours in the saddle coupled with my own physiology. Michael confirmed my fuzzy self-diagnoses, but also identified stuff I wasn't aware of, and did some very efficient realignment work in my lumbar region, as well as initial deep tissue massage on my chronically knotted upper back/neck/shoulders.
He also took me through half a dozen stretches, supplemented with trademark physio stickman illustrations, and I'll be feeding back on these (the stretches, not the illustrations) next week when I return for a bit of follow up work.
Another very satisfied customer :) ”

“ I had decided to start running regularly in a bid to improve my fitness and suffered from recurring knee pain which was extremely depressing. I went to several physiotherapists before Chris Myers (Angel Clinic) and they gave me various over complex stretches and exercises to do which I knew that I would end up forgetting to do. Then I found Chris by chance. 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. Chris appreciates busy lifestyles and so keeps stretches and exercises simple. 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. ”

“ With four months to go until the New York marathon – disaster!! The runners dreaded persistent shin pain!! Unable to train I attended my GP who suggested anti-inflammatories. This didn’t work and I didn’t know where to turn next. One of my running pals suggested the guys at the Broadgate clinic as they are approved marathon injuries clinic. With their expertise they immediately realised I needed an x-ray and to my surprise their suspicions of a stress fracture were unfortunately correct! My physio was brilliant and immediately lifted my spirits with a structured programme which showed I could still make the run – following 6 weeks rest 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!!! ”

“ I had an operation to reconstruct a ligament in my knee and was referred to the Complete Physio by my consultant. I had several sessions at the clinic as the rehabiltation after my type of operation takes several months. My physio liaised directly with my consultant and tailored my rehabilitation to my specific goals. This kept me interested and motivated through the whole process and I achieved my goals sooner than expected. The gym and rehabilitation facilities are excellent and ideal for making a quick recovery. ”

“ Thank you to all at Complete Physio in Kentish Town for my excellent care.

“ I injured my ankle playing football on a Sunday and the next day I could hardly walk. 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. ”
