Two months after a reverse total shoulder replacement in New York where I live, began working with John. If I could give him and Physio 4 Life ten stars I would. John was skilled and professional during the three months working with him. Possibly more important, his outgoing personality and never-ending cheer, enthusiasm, encouragement and optimism made me feel enthusiastic, encouraged and optimistic about my progress. Even when I suffered occasional setbacks, he always found the right 'spin' so I was never discouraged. Much to my amazement, doing right planks and swimming crawl again no longer are fantasies.read more

I had a great experience with Physio4Life. All the staff are friendly and helpful. I went to see Senior Physiotherapist Stuart after badly spraining my ankle and needing rehab to get back into running and playing sport. Stuart was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He explained everything in each session thoroughly so I had a good understanding of why I was being given each exercise etc. and what they would help to achieve. He encouraged me to achieve as much as possible in the shortest amount of time that was safe, and got me back to playing hockey as soon as possible. I would definitely go back to Physio4Life and would highly recommend Stuart.read more

I've had sessions with Lucy Sacarello for two separate problems. I could tell straight away that she knew what she was on about. When I explained what injuries I had she would immediately talk through what exercises to do and what to stay away from. The demonstrations of the exercises were clear and concise and she would always email them across at the end of the session. She is a credit to Physio 4 Life and would recommend anyone who has a concern to see her as she will put your mind at ease and always be a friendly face who is easy to talk toread more

I saw John at Physio4Life for physiotherapy on a long-standing ankle and shoulder injury with the aim of being able to return to swimming.
Previous treatment elsewhere had not made a significant difference and I had begun to lose hope that I would ever return to swimming. However after working with John over a few months I am completely overjoyed that I have now been able to return to competitive club swimming with virtually no symptoms at all; a dream I didn't ever think possible.
I have recommended Physio4Life to friends and would definitely use them again in the future.read more

Approximately 8 weeks before a marathon I had to stop running due to pain in the front and side of my left knee. I did some on-line research and suspected it was an IT band issue but decided to get a professional opinion at Physio4Life. I was appointed Nathan for my assessment and he quickly identified a potential bio-mechanical issue and set out a course of strengthening exercises for me to complete, as well as helping correct my running style. Within 4 weeks I was running outdoors again and was quickly able to build up to longer distances without any serious issues. Thanks to Nathan I was able to complete the marathon in under 4 hours which was a personal best, so my physio wasn't just rehab it also helped improve my performance. I can't rate Nathan highly enough for his knowledge, encouragement and simple yet impactful instruction. Nathan will be my first port of call if I ever need physio again.read more

I attended an emergency visit for Osteopathy and met with Roxane who sorted my neck out within two visits.
I shopped around my local area for physiotherapists/osteopathy and the Physio 4 Life prices were quite reasonable.
Roxane is most knowledgeable and a great people person with good communication skills.
I can highly recommend her and I will return for further visits should I require treatment.
Grateful thanks, Roxane.read more

I went to physio 4 life twice so far, with pain in my shoulder and lower back. Maria and Lucy were fantastic - even after the first session I noticed an improvement, and after 2-3 sessions my pain was almost gone. They also taught me exercises to strengthen the right muscle groups so that the pain stays away! They were both very friendly and gave me advice on any questions that I had. Recommended!read more

I've been coming to Physio4Life for around 9 months now and started with monthly sports massages with Lucy who sorted out my tight quads and shoulders as well as advising me on the best stretches etc. I then came in for a massage with a hideous purple ankle, from yet another sprain/ligament tear (dodgy netball ankles) to which she was horrified and immediately referred me to Roxane, the osteopath, who fortunately was able to see me straight away for a consultation. She manipulated and massaged the damaged tissue and straight away my ankle felt better. I came back the next week and then a couple of weeks later and after around 4 sessions in 6 weeks I was back running again and pain free. This was back in March (6 months ago) and I have been injury free since so am eternally grateful to Roxane for fixing me and for Lucy's continued brutal sports massages that I always feel amazing for afterwards! Highly recommend these two and the practice as a whole.read more

I can’t thank Maria enough for getting me back long distance running again after an injury is such a short space of time. Even after my race, she has checked in on me via email and given me further exercises to continue and guidance on how to improve me running in the future. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to follow through with my race if it wasn’t for all your help, thank you again Maria!read more

I can’t thank Jon at physio4life enough for getting me back to running after a long term hamstring injury!
Following the support of the physio at my local gym who helped me to regain pain free mobility, I was looking for a running specialist to support me through the next recovery stage from a niggling hamstring tendinopathy,
Jon is proper running specialist - running marathons himself - he identified running muscle weakness and imbalances, putting me on strengthening program and progressively easing me back into running.
After 3 months Jon built my running strength from a slow jog over a couple of kilometres up to 10k 3 times a week and a sub 20min 5k.
I went to Physio4life worried it may not be possible to fully return after so many set backs - but Jon has made it not only possible but enjoyable.read more

I first went to Physio 4 Life back in February 2019 after a ski accident left me with a hip flexor injury. I was introduced to Maria who was immediately very friendly, calming and extremely professional. Putting me at ease. She put together a treatment plan for me and after a few weeks my hip was back to normal. In July 2019, whilst training for Ride London I started to experience knee pain, leaving me worried I wouldn't be able to complete the event. I booked an appointment with Maria, she was absolutely fantastic again, her professionalism, brilliant physio practice and friendly nature enabled me to build enough strength back in my knee to complete the ride, pain free. I can't recommend Physio 4 Life and Maria enough for the brilliant service I have received.read more

I visited Maria at 25 weeks pregnant barely able to walk with what a previous physio had diagnosed as SPD and told me that there was nothing further they could do and that it would get better on its own after the baby arrived.
Maria has been amazing and found that the root cause of my issue was something very treatable and within a few sessions I was much improved and 3 weeks on I'm back to full strength! Maria is friendly, supportive and very accommodating to work schedules - I can't recommend her and the team at Physio 4 Life enough!read more

I’ve been visiting Stuart and John at Physio4life for three different injuries. Each time they have been great in understanding the issue, explaining what’s going on and giving me exercises to strength and ultimately heal. Most recently I aggravated my knee, six weeks ahead of a long walking race. John is a miracle worker, relieving the pain and building up the strength in the associated muscles, so much so that I can take part in the race. He is amazing - massive thanks to him and to Stuart.read more

I feel rest assured that I am in very capable hands, as I am already feeling the improvements after seeing her. I am a keen runner and I know Lucy will be there to prevent me from serious injury and frustrating setbacks. It's a really great clinic and the receptionist is so helpful.read more

Always professional, and I really appreciate how they tailor their services, and talk to one another to ensure that you're getting the best treatment. Never any hassle!
Very easy to get to from the stations (Putney overground and East Putney), very clean and easy to pay and book.

I've been seeing Maria Gkini for the last few months after a bad netball injury. She got me to an amazing place in preparation for my surgery which has meant a much easier recovery, we are continuing to work together post-surgery in order to get me back to sports. She is attentive, very knowledgeable and takes a huge amount of care with clients. She's able to deal with any concerns I might have and I've been incredibly impressed. I would highly recommend her.
Also, the reception team are really friendly and helpful :)read more

I came to Physio 4 Life with an ankle sprain, amongst a history of ankle sprains, but given my injury-prone nature I quickly came back a few times with different issues. My physio Lucy listened to me thoroughly from the start, took time to listen to my aims for returning to sport, and was quick to understand the problem and give me a personalised plan - not only for recovering from injury but also strengthening exercises for ongoing progress. My ankle injury has improved significantly and I am back to running. She has also been extremely warm and supportive throughout!! I think Physio 4 Life's prices are very reasonable for London which I have been pleased about as well.read more

I was lucky enough to be referred there with a horrible long term ailment that gave me nearly constant pain and prevented me from sleeping. Lucy was absolutely brilliant as my physio and her knowledge, perseverance and professionalism finally cured me of what I thought was incurable.

Finally, the booking procedure is easy to use and the administration staff are very friendly and super efficient. Ten out of ten!!read more

I started seeing Nathan about a niggle I had in my leg back in February after visiting one of the marathon 101 workshops Physio4Life run. He listened to my concerns and started me off with a basic plan of action to ensure it wouldn’t interfere with my Marathon training. Over the following weeks we would slowly up the exercises which helped not only improve my leg but also my running. Sunday I completed my marathon and I definitely wouldn’t have got there if it was for Nathan! I’d highly recommend him and Physio4life for anyone looking for a physio!read more

I have been seeing John Ross for about 4 weeks now. I came to him with several different issues, the 2 main issues being a sore ankle following a sprain in October and very frequent headaches and migraines with neck stiffness. I was recommended to go see John from one of his friends who is also a physio and because I know him I got a discount too which was very helpful.
John is a fantastic physio and within 3 weeks I am pain free. He knew exactly how to treat my issues and was so accommodating. John was able to diagnose my ankle issue within minutes, and I have been having issues with it for 6 months with my doctor doing nothing about it. He is extremely knowledgable and came up with a simple treatment plan for me that was easy to do at home. He taught me all the exercises and allowed me to video them so I could follow them step by step. He taught me how to tape my ankle to prevent pain and was able to advise me on where I could get other resources. The most debilitating issue were the migraines and I am very thankful to him for his time. He took a very detailed history for the initial consultation and at no point did he forget anything about this long history. He is very invested in his patients and really put me at ease. I have only had 1 headache in a month, whereas before I was getting them at least twice a week and over medicating with painkillers.
I am very grateful to him for the excellent service he provides and in the space of a few weeks he has helped improve my quality of life immensely. I am sleeping better and better able to do my job, pain free.
Physio4Life also is a lovely setting with extremely efficient receptionists who I must thank also. Thankfully I don’t need to go back to see John as I can do my rehab from home, but should I need to, I know I’ll be in good hands. I would definitely recommend seeing John Ross if you visit this clinic.read more

I saw John Ross for a torn hamstring and was very impressed - unlike many physios who spend most of the appointment talking you through tons of theory and not actually treating you, he spends the time effectively. His dry needling was brilliant, and he got me back up and running again relatively soon. Physio4Life also has appointments until late in the evenings, which is very helpful in accommodating people who work late.read more

Saw John Ross for some new insoles. Having previously had some from Harley Street, where I just placed my feet on what I guess was a flatbed scanner, John's approach was so much more thorough. My gait and walk were both analysed. Treadmills and pressure pads and general standing observations have given me what I believe are the best insoles ever. Appointment was circa 60 minutes and the flexibility of appointment times is amazing (07:00 up to 21:30). Thanks John and Physio4Life. Will be recommending you and seeing you regularly.read more

It's a great place and I can recommend Stuart!

He explained everything and told me what to do. Right now my shoulder is really well and I'm more aware of my body and posture. I'm still recovering from knee injury but all exercises given by Stuart really help and I feel like every week I can run a bit more which is the goal.read more

I injured my back two months ago and have had 4 physio sessions with Lucy. I couldn’t rave about her more. She made me feel comfortable from my first session to my last. Lucy helpfully saw what my problem was and guided me through my recovery with ease. She confidently explained what was happening with my back and how to target the pain with useful exercises. She was always cheerful and kind. I’m now feeling so much better and back to playing tennis again thanks to Lucy and Physio4life. Also the receptionists are so lovely here too.

I was booked in immediately with the osteopath Roxane who, aside from quickly sorting my back pain, was incredibly friendly and provided me with a lot of information as to how best to manage my hypermobility. I would 100% recommend this clinic and would certainly return again.read more

I was referred here by my private health care provider for a lower back sports injury... my physio, Stuart knew exactly what he was talking about and reassured me we can get me back to playing netball and create a plan to prevent this injury from reoccurring.
Only had my initial assessment and already have exercises to work on and advise on what I can and can not do whilst in recovery.
Managed to get an appointment same day and my follow up just a few days later. Bonus they are open late and at weekends!!!!
I would recommend this to all my friends!read more

Victoria is very professional, hard working, friendly and helpful. After just one session and following the recommended exercises the pain in my knee significantly subsided. I would like to thank Victoria again for being so brilliant and helpful.read more

Best Physio Clinic & Sports Massages in London. I have been visiting Physio4Life for around 6 years and have had several physio treatments for back or leg issues which have always been really helpful. I also have regular sports massages just for my own wellbeing because they really help take away the tension built up by sitting in an office all day and I find them so relaxing. I have tried other clinics in London but quite frankly I have never found a clinic that is as professional and convenient to visit. All the therapists are highly trained and skilled and I think this clinic is another great reason to live in Putney!read more

I was having headaches every day, was in a really bad place. Saw Hugo for a few sessions and the relief was enormous. The headaches subsided, I felt great. And what's best, I've been to physio's before where you feel as if there's no end to the tunnel, you'll always be going back and paying more money to get sessions every week for the rest of your life. But that wasn't how things work here. From the beginning there was a clear path to recovery, there was always an end goal - To relieve the headaches and give me the tools I needed to ensure they don't come back. Once that goal was achieved, Hugo said there was no need to come back unless something changed or I needed help. I really value that approach. Plus, Hugo is a super nice guy, always helps.read more

I was experiencing neck pain after a netball injury, which was preventing me from training/ playing. After being in pain for over a week, I went to see Hugo who was absolutely brilliant. He listened and assessed my injury and with his techniques I was over 50% recovered after just one session. Thanks Hugo for fixing my neck injury - I am so glad to be back playing netball!! :)read more

This place has completely saved me! A classical musician, I was forced to pull out of a concert midway through due to unexplained loss of feeling in my arm. I managed to get through to the wonderful receptionist at 9 30pm on a Friday night, who set me up with an appointment at 1pm the next day. I am now having regular appointments with Keval, who not only diagnosed me at the first appointment, has me back playing and performing again but also calmed me down with his professionalism and reassurance. Would recommend without reserve!read more

I first visited Physio4Life in August after hurting my lower back. I rang in the morning and managed to get an appointment the same day. I saw Hugo who has helped so much! When I first went it hurt to walk and I could not bend my back at all without pain. I have seen Hugo 8 times now and my lower pain is so much better - I no longer have any pain.
I have also just started Pilates with Stasia to strengthen my back which I have found really good.
I would definitely recommend Physio4Life is anyone.read more

Cannot recommend this place highly enough. Did my back in due to bad posture at work, culminating in losing full mobility. Phoned on a Saturday and got an appointment early Monday morning. Was seen by Hugo and his level of service was outstanding. Very professional whilst being very friendly. Over 4 sessions gave me effective treatment with follow up exercises that have got me back to fighting form!read more

December 2016 I had a terrible fall and severely hurt my ankle, after xrays, boot and crutches for an extended period of time I did make a good recovery, however I re injured it shortly after, not by doing much I hasten too add. I found myself in incredible pain and back on crutches and completely out of action! James helped me with my ankle by doing tapping , physio and prescribing me with some exercises with a resistance bands. I also had a bunch of others to do. Very rapidly I was pain free then after a few more sessions the tapping was removed and my ankle was mostly functional, just rather stiff. Now I am a good ankle shape, I dont even think about it, the stiffness went and I am completely pain free!! I still do my exercises as I accept it is an injury I will have to manage. James is an extremely knowledgeable and gifted physio who specialises in knees, toes and ankles!!! Thank-you so much James! I am booking an overland trip to Africa now.read more

A friend recommended me Physio4Life for sever back pain that I started having in the end of July. I was treated by Victoria who diagnosed my condition as cauda equina syndrome and urged me to immediately go to A&E.
Thanks to her timely diagnosis and the amazing treatment at the hospital I am still able to walk, as this condition can quickly leave someone paralyzed if it's not surgically treated.
Victoria has been treating me for my post-surgery recovery even since and has helped me to steadily get stronger over time. Both her and Hugo who also treated me for a short period are extremely knowledgeable and caring, and will patiently explain all the rehabilitation exercises.
Would definitely recommend going there!read more

Hugo really helped me with my back. He fixed my initial problem and identified other areas for improvement and gave me the exercises that would help me. My back is now better (and still improving) than it was before my injury. I won't hesitate to go back with any other problem. Thanks.read more

I cannot speak highly enough of James. He's working so hard on fixing my running injury and getting me back to where I want to be. He's such a lovely, funny person who absolutely puts you at ease. The receptionists are also great, they remember who you are when you arrive and work efficiently. I would absolutely recommend anyone dealing with sports injury or looking for a recovery training plan go here.read more

I cannot recommend Physio4Life and Hugo highly enough! After several months of treatment following knee surgery, Hugo's attitude and confidence in my recovery made any slow progress that much easier to deal with. It was always a pleasure to be greeted by such a friendly reception team as well and, to be honest, I'm a little sad I'm back to full health and don't get to catch up with the great team there anymore!!read more

James rehabilitated my ankle following a complex arthroscopy. His knowledge is really impressive, always knowing or quickly discovering the cause of pains and always ready with solutions. He was recommended by the surgeon and it is easy to see why. Now back long-distance running.read more

I cannot recommend this place enough! I had to be referred twice (back pain and then a very painful knee injury). Hugo took such good care of me and is such a cracking character that he made everything feel so easy and I was always confident in his approach and his treatment and recovery plan. Above all it was very effective! I have honestly never felt better in my life! Also the staff at reception is the nicest - they even remember people's names! Oh and there's free tea and coffee in reception :) so now I'm pain free and it's all thanks to Hugo! Thank you!read more

James has been instrumental in making sure I return to play as soon as possible, being a professional netball athlete my feet are hugely important. James was able to diagnose various issues with my feet, and clearly explain how these could be modified with the orthotics he would mould for me.
He went above and beyond to provide the best service possible and I am eternally grateful.read more
