From gold medalists to weekend warriors, sports injuries can stop you doing what you love. At West London Physiotherapy, we help athletes and active people recover quickly, return safely, and get back to peak performance with confidence.
Our sports physiotherapists regularly treat:
No — you can book directly without a GP referral. If you are injured, do not wait. Early treatment leads to faster recovery. Call us on 020 7937 1628 or book online today.
Yes — we are recognised by all major UK private health insurers. Obtain an authorisation number from your insurer before your first session and provide it when booking. Our team can advise you on how to make a claim.
Recovery times vary by injury type and severity. Minor muscle strains can resolve in 2–4 weeks; ligament injuries and post-surgical rehab typically take 6–16 weeks. At your first session, your physiotherapist will give you a realistic, personalised recovery timeline and a staged return-to-sport plan.
Our goal is always a full return to sport at the same level or better. We use structured, evidence-based return-to-sport criteria — not just pain reduction — to ensure you go back safely and with a lower risk of re-injury. We have helped athletes from Olympians to weekend runners achieve this goal.
Complete rest is rarely the best approach. We will advise you on what you can safely continue, what to modify, and what to avoid — so you can maintain fitness and speed up your recovery. Come in for an assessment before making your own call on this.
No — a physiotherapy assessment is almost always the right first step. We can diagnose most injuries clinically and refer you directly for MRI, X-ray, or ultrasound if imaging is genuinely necessary. This saves you time and money.
