Our services
Physiotherapy
At ROOT Physiotherapy London, we get to the source of your pain, not just manage it. Our physiotherapists assess how you move, identify what’s driving your discomfort, and build a personalised treatment plan that combines hands-on therapy, targeted exercises and expert guidance. Whether you’re dealing with a sudden injury or something that’s been building for months, we help you move freely again.
Conditions treated
Back pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy in London and one of the most misunderstood. Whether it’s a sharp acute flare-up or a dull ache that won’t shift, our physiotherapists assess the root cause rather than treating the symptom. We combine manual therapy, movement retraining and targeted exercises to reduce pain and prevent recurrence.
Neck pain
Desk work, poor posture and stress all contribute to neck pain and stiffness. Left unaddressed, it can develop into headaches, restricted movement or referred pain into the shoulders and arms. We identify the underlying cause and work with you to restore comfortable, full movement.
Shoulder pain
From rotator cuff issues to frozen shoulder, shoulder problems can significantly limit daily life. Our physiotherapists assess joint mobility, muscle function and movement patterns to build a treatment plan that restores strength and range of motion.
Sports injuries
Whether you’re a weekend runner or a competitive athlete, sports injuries need proper assessment and structured rehabilitation, not just rest. We treat sprains, strains, muscle tears and overuse injuries, with a focus on getting you back to the activity you love, stronger than before.
Post-surgery rehabilitation
Recovery after surgery requires more than time. Our physiotherapists work alongside surgical teams to guide you through structured rehabilitation, restoring movement, strength and function at the right pace.
What to expect
Personalised treatment
Your first session begins with a thorough assessment. We take the time to understand your history, your movement and your goals, because no two bodies are the same. From there, we build a treatment plan tailored specifically to you, combining hands-on therapy with exercises you can continue between sessions. We don’t believe in indefinite treatment. Our aim is to give you the tools to manage your own recovery and stay well long after your sessions end.
Frequently Asked Questions
Before you book
01. Do I need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist?
No, you can book directly with us. Physiotherapists are first-contact practitioners, meaning you don’t need a referral from your GP to start treatment at ROOT.
02. How many sessions will I need?
This depends on the condition and how long you’ve been dealing with it. Some people feel significant improvement after just two or three sessions, while more complex or long-standing issues may need a longer course of treatment. We’ll give you a realistic estimate after your first assessment.
03. What should I wear to my appointment?
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy movement works best, particularly if we’re assessing your back, shoulders or hips. Shorts and a t-shirt are ideal for most appointments.
04. Is physiotherapy covered by insurance?
Many private health insurance providers cover physiotherapy, though this varies by policy. We recommend checking with your provider before booking, and we’re happy to provide any documentation you need for a claim. ROOT Physio has existing agreements with a number of insurance companies. Please consult our pricing page for the full list.
