This page brings together the full range of conditions treated by our team of physiotherapists, osteopaths, podiatrists and specialist clinicians across our five London clinics — Wandsworth Town, Clapham Junction, Battersea Nine Elms, Putney and Chelsea.

Not every ache fits neatly into one category, and that’s exactly why our general pain and injury service exists. We regularly see:
Our physiotherapy or osteopathy assessments get to the root cause quickly, often supported by diagnostic ultrasound scanning where imaging speeds up an accurate diagnosis — our article on whether you need a scan explains when this is actually useful, since it isn’t always necessary. From there we build a tailored plan combining hands-on treatment, targeted exercise and practical education, and if you’re recovering from a sporting knock specifically, our Sports Injury Clinic may be the better fit.
You don’t need a GP referral to book with us — our guide on how to self-refer to physiotherapy explains how quick the process is. If you’re unsure how urgently you should be seen, our article on the top 5 benefits of seeing a physiotherapist early after injury explains why early intervention often shortens recovery time and prevents niggling injuries becoming chronic ones.
Whether your pain is acute or has been nagging for months, we work with clients of every age to restore mobility and get you back to daily life pain-free.
Head and neck pain rarely has one single cause: poor posture, whiplash, stress-related muscle tension and cervical arthritis can all present in similar ways, which is why an accurate assessment matters.
Alongside physiotherapy we also offer osteopathy and acupuncture for clients who may respond to a more structural, whole-body approach. Whatever the cause, our goal is to relieve tension, restore normal movement, and teach you how to keep it that way long-term.
The shoulder, arm, wrist and hand cover a huge range of very specific — and very treatable — conditions, and getting the right diagnosis early makes a real difference to recovery time. Our dedicated Shoulder and Upper Limb Clinic leads on shoulder assessment and treatment, while our article on common wrist and hand problems is a good overview further down the arm.
Shoulder
Where the diagnosis isn’t clear-cut, diagnostic ultrasound lets us examine the rotator cuff, biceps tendon and surrounding structures while the shoulder is moving, and our article on ultrasound guided shoulder injections explains how imaging improves accuracy when injection treatment is appropriate.
Elbow, Wrist & Hand
A diagnostic ultrasound scan can confirm exactly which structure is involved before we agree a plan, and where injections are appropriate, our ultrasound guided injection service delivers far greater precision than a landmark-guided approach.
Whatever the cause — sport, workplace strain, or an underlying condition — we build a rehabilitation plan to restore strength, dexterity and pain-free function, from the shoulder right through to the fingertips.
Back pain is the single most common reason people come to see us, and our dedicated Back and Neck Pain Clinic exists because getting the diagnosis right first time matters enormously.
We regularly treat:
Our approach combines hands-on therapy, spinal mobilisation, postural training and a carefully progressed exercise programme — our guides to three key exercises for lower back pain and core stability exercises are a good starting point. This is often supported in the studio by our Pilates or reformer Pilates classes, which are excellent for building the deep core strength that protects the lower back long-term.
Where symptoms are complex or long-standing, our osteopathy team offers an alternative, more structurally-focused route to the same goal. We also see a good number of runners with back-related issues that stem from training load — our Running Injury Clinic looks at the whole kinetic chain rather than just the site of pain. Whether your back pain is a one-off flare-up or a recurring problem, we’ll help you understand why it keeps happening and how to stop it.
Hip pain tends to fall into a few well-recognised patterns, and identifying which one you have shapes the entire treatment plan.
Where imaging would clarify the diagnosis, we offer in-house diagnostic ultrasound, and for arthritic hips not yet ready for surgery, our article on whether joint injections can help you avoid surgery for osteoarthritis is worth reading. We also provide gait analysis and footwear advice, since how you walk and run has a direct bearing on hip loading — our Gait Scan service is a useful next step if this applies to you.
The knee is one of the most commonly injured joints we see, and our dedicated Knee Pain Clinic covers everything from ligament tears to arthritis.
We can also scan hamstring, quad and calf strains and give advice and treatment on what to do. Whatever the cause, we tailor treatment to get you back to running, cycling, or simply walking comfortably again.
The majority of headaches we see in clinic are musculoskeletal in origin, driven by neck tension, poor posture or jaw clenching rather than anything more sinister. Our dedicated Headache Clinic is built specifically around identifying and treating that root cause.
We commonly treat:
We treat headaches with a combination of manual therapy, postural correction and relaxation-based techniques. Because so many headaches trace back to the neck, our Back and Neck Pain Clinic and headache treatment often run hand-in-hand, and where jaw clenching or grinding is a contributing factor, our TMJ physiotherapy service addresses that piece of the puzzle too.
Some clients also find western medical acupuncture a useful adjunct for tension release. If you’re curious about the wider link between the nervous system and persistent pain, our five-part series Pain: It’s All In Your Head is worth a read. Alongside hands-on treatment, we spend real time on lifestyle and ergonomic advice — screen height, sleep position and stress management all play a part, so that relief isn’t just short-term but sustained.
Dizziness is a genuinely broad symptom with several distinct underlying causes, which is why an accurate vestibular assessment is the essential first step. Our Vestibular Physiotherapy service diagnoses and treats:
Our in-depth article exploring vestibular disorders and management strategies covers how these conditions differ and why the right diagnosis changes the treatment completely — BPPV, for instance, often resolves with a specific repositioning manoeuvre in a single session, while PPPD requires a longer, graded programme of balance retraining and habituation exercises.
Our vestibular rehabilitation programme combines balance training, eye-movement exercises and manual therapy to reduce symptoms and rebuild confidence in movement, and because neck stiffness so often contributes to dizziness, our Back and Neck Pain Clinic is frequently involved alongside vestibular treatment.
Our Women’s Health Clinic and dedicated women’s health physiotherapy service support women through every life stage — pregnancy, postnatal recovery, and beyond.
We treat:
Our treatment combines pelvic floor rehabilitation, manual therapy and personalised exercise progressions. For postnatal recovery specifically, our guide on how women’s health physiotherapy can help during pregnancy and our postpartum women’s health physiotherapy article both explain what to expect. Our article on the most common conditions in women’s health physiotherapy is a good starting point if you’re not sure whether your symptoms are something we can help with, our piece on why women’s pelvic health matters explains the wider health case for specialist assessment rather than simply living with symptoms, and our guide to women’s health red flags covers symptoms that should always prompt an assessment.
For expectant and new mothers, pregnancy massage can also provide welcome relief alongside physiotherapy. Whether you’re preparing for birth, recovering from it, or managing a long-standing pelvic health issue, we build a plan around your specific goals and timeline.
Men’s health physiotherapy is an area we’re proud to specialise in, and one that’s still too rarely discussed. Our Men’s Health Physiotherapy service treats:
We use the same evidence-based pelvic floor rehabilitation techniques used in women’s health, adapted specifically for male anatomy. Our article on supporting pelvic floor recovery through men’s health physiotherapy explains how these deep muscles influence bladder control, sexual function and core stability, and our roundup of common men’s health conditions covering pelvic floor, sexual function and general wellness is a useful overview if you’re new to the topic.
We also cover prostate health more broadly in our guide to what every man needs to know about his prostate, particularly relevant for recovery after prostate surgery.
These conversations can feel awkward to start — our team is experienced, discreet, and here to help.
From weekend five-a-side games to marathon training blocks, our Sports Injury Clinic helps athletes of every level recover and return to peak performance. Our article on 5 signs you should book a sports injury physiotherapy appointment is a good first check if you’re not sure whether your niggle needs professional attention.
Runners make up a large proportion of the athletes we see, and our Running Injury Clinic draws on a deep back-catalogue of running-specific expertise, including our guides to what causes running injuries, preventing and treating running injuries, running gait analysis and retraining, and tendinopathy in runners.
Racket and club sports bring their own patterns of injury too — our piece on common shoulder injuries in tennis and golf, assessed through our Shoulder and Upper Limb Clinic, covers the overhead and rotational strain common to both.
Seasonal sports have their own risks, from our guide to knee injuries whilst skiing to advice on marathon recovery once you’ve crossed the finish line, and contact sports bring their own considerations too, covered in our article on concussion management in football.
Diagnostics are central to getting sports injuries right first time — our MSK ultrasound scanning service lets us see exactly what’s happening inside muscle, tendon and joint.
Whatever your sport and whatever level you play at, our goal is the same: get you back out there, stronger and less likely to break down again.
