Who we are

Sarah Morton

B.App.Sc Physiotherapy, PGC Ex Sport Science, MCSP MHPC

For Sarah, the opening of West London Physiotherapy was the culmination of over 15 years of experience in the treatment of pain and injury at the highest level. In private and sports physiotherapy practice, Sarah has used her skills to provide elite, professional care for all individuals, whether they need help with sporting injuries, post operative rehabilitation, pain, or posture problems.

Previously in her career Sarah has spent four years working with Elite Rugby Union in Sydney, with national women’s football teams and at national and international athletics meetings in Australia.

In addition Sarah spent a further four years working at Roehampton University as both visiting lecturer and resident physiotherapist for the Sports Performance and Rehabilitation Centre (SPARC). During this time she treated all levels of athletes and used the latest research and digital video equipment to analyze movement and diagnose injuries.

Sarah is a strong believer in the use of manual therapy, joint mobilisation and manipulation, and exercise to address pain and injury and return you to full function as quickly as possible.

Irene Turner

MSc Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy MCSP, AACP
BA (Hons) Sports Science & Psychology

Irene has been working in the realm of sports and rehabilitation for over 14 years, having entered the physiotherapy profession with a sound background in orthopaedic rehabilitation and exercise prescription. She uses a combination of manual & manipulative techniques, as well as specific functional exercises in her treatment. Irene also practises Acupuncture as an adjunct to her physiotherapy.

Irene has played a major role in setting up & running Pain Management Clinics within the NHS. She has also had experience working for a number of prestigious private clinics in London and in Melbourne, specialising in the management of spinal, joint and muscular pain. A passion for sport has led her to work with running, cycling and triathlon clubs in Australia and in the UK.

As an active participant in triathlons, Irene feels that the treatment of sports injuries is merely a component in the overall care package. She also strives to educate her patients in the prevention of injury as well as encouraging sports specific training in order that her patients may experience efficient, effective & enjoyable participation in their sporting endeavours.

Clinical Pilates forms a major component of Irene’s rehabilitation programmes. She has been using Pilates in her treatment protocols for 8 years. This particular approach to physiotherapy is valuable as a preventative, curative & performance enhancing exercise. It is also beneficial for both assessment & treatment of biomechanical issues and muscle imbalances.

Sarah Mitchell

Massage Therapist and Myotherapist

Sarah is a highly trained and experienced massage and myotherapist. Her expert and holistic approach to treatment involves the use of soft tissue massage, deep tissue release, trigger point therapy, dry needling and cupping. This approach is extremely effective in decreasing pain and stress and increasing muscle movement and flexibility. Sarah can help you gain immediate relief of muscle pain and tension, or she can work with you to overcome long term tension and muscle pain and get you back to pain-free life!
