West London Physiotherapy has been a life saver! The whole team - reception through to all the physios they are brilliant!! For me, In particular Kam Sowman has been a godsend . I have had an ongoing back and ankle issue ( which to date no one has been able to resolve) however Kam’s knowledge, expertise, care & attention to detail and his general desire to help get me back on track has made such a difference. I continue to go back as I feel in very safe hands and know they are making a genuine and real positive difference You may not be walking through the door on arrival but can guarantee you’ll be running back in! Definitely worth a visit!

For a good several years, I'd always get shoulder pain when playing badminton. Having tried many diagnostic tests and exercises/stretches myself, learnt from either the internet or badminton mates, I still could not get the pain to go away. Some mates would tell me I had an 'impingement', and some would say 'rotator cuff injury'. On May 2023, I saw Chris Bestwick who did a meticulous series of tests during our initial appointment. He then gave me a detailed explanation of the most probable aetiology with the help of a physical 3D model, which made sense to me. He also gave me an exercise programme which I strictly followed. Within two weeks, my pain had disappeared. From then until now, I've been playing badminton several times a week, smashing at full power without any pain! Cheers, Chris!

I first came here in the latter part of 2022 due to my recurring shin splints. Alessandro immediately identified the problem during my initial assessment, and it only took one more 30minute session for me to put into practice the knowledge he provided. After dealing with the problem for 18 months, I have not had them come back even once. You pay for what you get, and at this business, its people who know how to help while being extremely efficient.

Great physiotherapy. Clinic is on a lovely, quiet mews. Kam, was a fantastic physio - very knowledgeable, a massive cut above any other physios I have seen previously. Would highly recommend
