Physical Health

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with Matt, a highly recommended physiotherapist. He really knows his work and takes the time to understand his patients. He helped me recover quickly from my Achilles tendon issue.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Matt specifically at Physical Health by my consultant for rehabilitation of a frozen shoulder. Matt worked with me incrementally to get movement back and when the time was right strength as well as a full range of movement was worked on until I was able to be discharged. I am delighted as I managed to avoid having a steriod injection which may have taken away the pain but I don't think I would have been able to go to fully rehabilitation of the movement I do have back and have also avoided an operation. Matt is an intiuative and skillful physiotherapist and also put me at my ease and was good to work with. I would def recommend and would also go to him first if any other issues with something else occurred.

Fantastic experience: Matt is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled practitioner. He's helped me recover from a tricky long-standing injury. His attention to detail, friendly approach, and support has enabled me to resume exercise. My overall health has therefore improved too. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Matt is straight talking giving good advice and direction with clear explanations as to underlying causes and impacts and how to cope going forward.

Fantastic experience: I have had several physio sessions with Sarah following a hip replacement It has helped the strength in that leg no end and I will continue the exercises even though she has now discharged me

Fantastic experience: Matt was great at helping me recover post an Achilles rupture last year. Attentive to detail, his approach really helped and I would really recommend him to those that need support. Thanks Matt

Fantastic experience: I had a full knee replacement in 2024, being an active person, Matt got me back up and cycling and able to continue all activities prior to operation.

Fantastic experience: Matt was extremely helpful and attentive. Excellent diagnosis and issue-specific treatment.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Rowena’s classes for nearly 2 years. There has definitely been improvement in my flexibility and my joints really feel the ongoing benefit. She always adds variety in what she teaches and I feel better both physically and mentally. She is the best!

Fantastic experience: I attend Pilates on Mondays with Rowena. She is an amazing teacher, best I have ever been to, my bad back is manageable because of this. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a pilates class. The classes are varied and we use different equipment each week, Rowena talks through exactly how each move should be done in detail, I’ve been to many classes but this one is the best.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Rowena’s physio led Pilates Classes for 2 years now. Rowena is a first class Pilates instructor. She always explains fully each movement and provides different levels of exercises for different abilities. There is always plenty of room in the classes to exercise without feeling squashed in. I feel confident performing the exercises as Rowena carefully supervises and ensures each person is exercising correctly so avoiding injury.

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming. Very relaxing. Most rewarding. Lovely soothing voice to hear instructions to. Would recommend without doubt.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Rowena and her Pilates classes. It would be fair to say I sometimes have a personal fight to find the motivation to attend but once there I thoroughly enjoy and can so see the benefits. Rowena explains everything in great detail and the pace is perfect. It has made such a difference. Thank you Rowena.

Fantastic experience: I fell down and broke my hip and femur. Had a complex operation. Had 70 stitches. If it wasnt for Sarah I would not be where I am today. Even the surgeon was amazed at my progress.Absolutely brillant, patience, kindness and very comforting. Supberb.

Fantastic experience: Matt was introduced to me by my consultant for a lingering shoulder injury that hindered me playing the sport I love (Tennis). Matt's attention to understanding the issue and treating the root cause was invaluable and I'll highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Physical Health. Matt is an excellent physiotherapist. He is extremely knowledgeable, understanding and encouraging. The physio treatment and exercise programme I received was always tailored to my needs. I feel stronger than I have for years and empowered to continue my fitness journey. Thanks Matt.

Fantastic experience: Had a number of appointments following shoulder surgery and Matt was excellent in getting me back in action. Appointments were on time and the venue and equipment available was very good.

Fantastic experience: I had a complicated combination of breaks in my ankle. Matt was super knowledgeable and encouraging from the offset. He gave me hope and confidence and his expertise, I believe, is second to none. He pitched my exercises perfectly and he got my diagnosis correct every step of the way, sometimes when the doctors did not. Without him I would have been despondent but with him I believed I could mend and, having followed his advice and guidance my ankle, at age 64, is fully healed and flexible, I can’t thank him enough. I recommend him highly and wish him every continued success.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been visiting the Team at Physical Heath since March 2023 following a knee injury playing football and was referred to them by an Orthopaedic Surgeon. They have taken me from a place of pain and immobility to complete recovery. I am now able to walk freely again as well as exercise. Sarah and Rowena demonstrated endless patience and encouragement; their profound knowledge of the injury was instrumental to my recovery. Treatment included sessions in the pool to get my knee moving again, as well as knee and leg strengthening exercises. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Had new knee fitted and Matt make it clear and easy to get back to my best

Fantastic experience: Matt is amazing, helped me with Physio recovering from Ankle Fusion. Service was very friendly and professional with clear treatment plan which helped me to recover and almost get back to normal quickly

Fantastic experience: I had acute Sciatica for over four months and was in extreme pain. After my first session with Matt I could feel a difference and I am now back to normal having had a total of five consultations. I found Matt to be very professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, polite and approachable. I can't thank him enough for my return to normal pain free activities. Wouldn't hesitate to seek his assistance should the need arise.

Fantastic experience: I have visited a few of Physio’s during the past few years but Physical Health offer first class service totally tailored to your needs. They have given me a positive start and way forward in my recovery. I have felt totally comfortable and at ease with Rowena and Sarah and highly recommend them to anyone needing support too. Thank you Physical Health for keeping me positive along this journey and for the results I am seeing already.

Fantastic experience: I found the talk on Osteoporosis Stay Strong & be Steady interesting and informative I have learned from this and have questions for my GP regrading ongoing treatment for this condition, so very worthwhile attending as we all have to look after our own health as clearly pointed out by Mr Unnithan who conveyed the talk in an engaging & at times humorous way!

Fantastic experience: Thanks Sarah and team for inviting me to the Osteoporosis lecture by Ashwin Unnithan. I found it an informative morning with so much to take away and digest and also to incorporate to my own daily life. Imran Khan

Fantastic experience: Very interesting and informative talk today. Thank you for allowing me to attend. Will be interested to find out more information please. Jackie Thompson

Fantastic experience: Excellent clinic, not only for treatment but also organising informative talks. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I find that the Physical health team are very innovative and akways trying different ways to help the people who go to them for help. Always very friendly as well as professional.

Fantastic experience: Excellent knowledge and amazing service. I suffered from peroneal tendonitis for more than 6 months. I visited physical health physiotherapist Matt. Who helped me with the exercises and techniques and in 1 months time my pain is gone and I am now slowly getting back into my normal routine. Strongly recommended. Thanks Matt.

Fantastic experience: Had physio with Matt Saayman following knee arthroscopy by Dr. Trikha at physio health in Shepperton. Lovely facility. Throughout the 10 weeks of seeing Matt, his service was excellent. Attentive, personable and extremely knowledgable in his field. Every physio session felt personalised and it was clear he cared about my recovery journey. Very refreshing that he wanted to sign me off when he felt I was genuinely ready. There was no suggestion or encouragement for to me to continue physio for the sake of it. Would definitely see Matt again. Jon

Fantastic experience: Recently I’d been training for an ultra marathon, and felt a slight pain in my right knee, so I went to see Laura Lord at Health & Performance Massage for a sports massage at the Holiday inn. She was absolutely amazing, she identified the problem straight away as ITB syndrome, and went to work on the effected area. After only a couple of sessions I was back training, and needless to say I got the 100k ultra marathon done! Which I can’t thank Laura enough for helping me get over that finish line Can’t recommend Laura highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service & treatments. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant service, professional and really supportive. I highly recommend using physical health if looking for physio.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable, friendly & worked wonders with my injury. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Amazing team with a wealth of knowledge, really helped me through my marathon journey and got me through it pain free! Highly reccomend.

Fantastic experience: Professional, Progressive & Caring. Thank you Sarah! I broke my ankle in 2022. As a keen long-distance walker, I was worried that my injury would prevent a return to partaking in organised events. Sarah listened to my aspirations and helped me set a goal with a realistic timeframe. This meant that my overexaggerated expectations were tempered and supported so that I remained injury-free throughout my rehabilitation and only moved forward towards my goal. The physical therapy, prescribed exercises, as well as the listening and realistic advice, supported my full return to long-distance walking. I couldn't be happier with the returned confidence and the unwavering recommendations for Sarah and her practice. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I've been a client of Laura Lord for approximately 6 months now. She is a fantastic, knowledgeable sports masseur and soft tissue therapist. As a competing power lifter I have amassed a few injuries along the years. Laura is the first therapist to make positive headway on my shoulder injuries. I haven't bench pressed discomfort free in many years until Laura worked on me. I'm currently having therapy to correct a recent ankle injury and once again I'm extremely pleased with my progress.

Fantastic experience: Sarah guided me to recovery after I visited her practice with many ailments! She has a deeply knowledgeable expertise of her field, and is very open to explaining causalities and ways of healing. She was able to quickly and clearly see the issues, and resolve them through gentle manipulations, appropriate exercises and great advice. But moreover, Sarah is lovely, gentle, and easy to connect with and talk to. I would highly recommend her if you are looking for a physiotherapist that genuinely cares to get you back on track. The location of her practice is also very good, easy to get to, with plenty free parking. Very pleased I chose her.

Fantastic experience: Had terrible sciatica, had initial check ups after initial incident and was well looked after. Eventually attended regular Pilates with the wonderful Rowena, who is supportive, friendly and incredibly knowledgable. Pain from sciatica now gone, and can engage in activities such as surfing and bouldering again. Thoroughly recommend for getting your health and core back in order.

Fantastic experience: Physical Health was recommended to me by my consultant orthopaedic surgeon for physio on a tricky frozen shoulder. I found a friendly, patient and professional team of experts, and I was very happy to turn to them again to help me with a chronic lower back condition. Hopefully won’t have a reason to go a third time.

Fantastic experience: I have been taking physio led Pilates classes with Rowena for over a year. Rowena is so knowledgable in her field and really understands her clients. She tailors accordingly but at the same time encourages and reassures to push you to make real change. Sadly I am moving away from the area and I wish I could take Rowena with me! I will really miss her and the lessons she delivers. Cannot recommend her and the whole team at Physical Health highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to mixed ability classes with Rowena ( and Sarah previously) for about 3years. The classes are varied with different equipment each week. As an older member of the class I can work at the level that suits me although I can usually manage most things. I can’t recommend these classes highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I come to Rowena’s mixed ability pilates class. She is a great teacher. Always varied each week and explained well with different levels. She has a very calm and Knowledgeable way of teaching. Every week no matter what equipment used it is always different and challenging. Great for all levels - Julie B

Fantastic experience: Excellent cannot rate Sarah highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I have had many Pilates Instructors over the years and Rowena is definitely the best, the fact that she is also a physio is very reassuring. My fitness has really improved through attending classes regularly. There are classes to suit all abilities, booking is very easy and it is often possible to catch up a missed class.

Fantastic experience: This post is on behalf of my wife, who after having had total knee replacement surgery was referred by her consultant surgeon to Sarah Chapman at Physical Health for extra exercises to speed her recovery. We found Sarah very knowledgeable in what was needed to reach that objective but importantly she also has caring nature that goes way beyond her physio brief. This gave us the reassurance that we were in very safe hands. In a subsequent review by the consultant he was amazed at the progress my wife had made and that is in no small part due to the overall care Sarah had provided. In consequence we have no hesitation in recommending her for ongoing physiotherapy treatment.

Fantastic experience: I was advised to have physio sessions following some medical treatment for a shoulder ACJ and sub acromial impingement with adhesive capsulitis. This was causing pain and very restricted movement. Sarah @ Physical Health was excellent. Through manipulation of the muscles and joints and a series of stretches and exercises I'm now pain free and using my shoulder as if nothing was ever wrong. Sarah's exercise demonstrations and the supporting 'app' are brilliant and regular check-ins helped ensure weekly progress. I can't recommend Sarah and Physical Health enough. I will certainly use them again if the need arises.

Fantastic experience: I have seen Sarah as a Physiotherapy since 2012. I had seen many physios after both shoulders operation but she is the best physio I have seen. She has good skills for physio and acupuncture and good work conscious dedication. I recommend her for physio therapist. Parking is free when you register your car number plate.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic physio. I went for pelvic floor health and it has really helped me especially when I go to the gym. The physio I had was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel completely comfortable. The facility is also great, very modern, clean & accessible.

Fantastic experience: Sarah was a godsend when I was suffering from a recurring shoulder injury due to my job as a dog Walker . She is very patient, explains step by step what she is doing and is very skilled at what she does . My shoulder is a 100 times better and I am continuing on with the aftercare exercises given. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and the clinic .

Fantastic experience: I had brilliant care from Jané at Physical Health with my ongoing knee problem. Her extensive knowledge put me on the path to recovery. After months of pain, I'm happy to say, with her expert advise I can now walk and bend my knee as I once used too. Great team, great service

Fantastic experience: Sarah is the best physio! I wouldn't go to anyone else. She is very friendly, professional and thorough in her work. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been using this clinic for around 6 months now and see both Charlotte and Jane for different things - both have been brilliant and take good care of me. They are committed to my journey of care and are always punctual and professional. Clinic is nice and clean and parking is good.

Fantastic experience: I was put in touch with Physical Health when I suffered nerve issues in my hand at the start of lockdown and they were amazing. I really had no confidence that physio therapy would work over video conferencing but they had a really good set up which enabled me to show exactly where the pain was and over a few weeks we worked through a number of excercises to pin point the souce of the problem and excersises to improve it. A little while later I had back issues from poor posture working off my kitchen tabale for 10 hours a day. Sarah advised me on streaching and excercises, plus made some suggestions on my working environment. I sent her videos of me excercising so that she could comment on if I was doing this correctly. When lockdown eased they had a very safe environment for me to have face to face sessions. I recently have had other issues that I would have probably put up with but instead I contacted Sarah and am starting a new programme. I have recommended Sarah from Physical Health to a neighbour who was suffering after an operation, my neighbour was so pleased with the improvemements she experienced she sent me chocolates as a thank you.

Fantastic experience: Sarah has been brilliant with my son’s club foot rehabilitation. She prepared him for his operation to ensure he had the best post operation recovery. Four months post-op and the hospital confirmed it’s the best recovery they’ve seen for that procedure in the past twelve months.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, clear advice and Sarah's treatments really helped my shoulder. I'm back into the gym and pain free. Recommend!
