Physical Health

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!

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.

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. 😊

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Excellent clinic, not only for treatment but also organising informative talks. Highly recommended 👌 👍
