Where we are, and why N3 patients come to us
We see patients from Finchley Central, Church End, West Finchley and Finchley Garden Village every week. For most, East Finchley is the closest place to see a chartered physiotherapist without heading into central London, and N3 is one of the postcodes our new patients come from most often.
Our clinic is on East Finchley High Road at 200 High Road, N2 9AY. From Finchley Central it is one stop south on the High Barnet branch of the Northern line, and several buses run along the High Road. Many of our West Finchley and Church End patients simply drive or walk over.
Because we are a group of 13 clinics across North London and Hertfordshire, you also have options. If a different day or time works better, our Hendon, Hampstead Garden Suburb and Muswell Hill clinics are all close to N3 and you can book any of them online.

What we help N3 patients with
Most people who come to us from Finchley Central are not elite athletes. They are commuters, parents, runners, gym-goers, golfers and people getting back on their feet after surgery. These are the problems we see most often:
Back and neck pain
Desk work, commuting, lifting
Stiffness and pain that build up over weeks, or come on suddenly after lifting. Most back and neck pain settles well with the right advice, hands-on treatment and exercise.
Knee, hip and ankle pain
Running, walking, sport
From runners on the Dollis Valley Greenwalk to walkers in Victoria Park, joint pain often comes down to load, strength and recovery rather than damage.
Shoulder pain
Reaching, lifting, sleeping
Pain lifting your arm or lying on your side, often linked to the rotator cuff. Usually very treatable with a well-progressed exercise plan.
Rehab after surgery
Knee and hip replacement, ACL, shoulder
Getting your movement, strength and confidence back after an operation, working alongside your surgeon’s guidelines.
Sports injuries
Football, tennis, running, gym
Sprains, strains and tendon pain, with a plan that takes you from pain relief back to full training.
Persistent pain
Pain that has hung around
When something has gone on for months, we look at the whole picture: how you move, sleep, work and what is worrying you.

What happens at your first appointment
Your first appointment starts with a proper conversation. We want to know what happened, what makes it better or worse and, most importantly, what you want to get back to. Then we examine how you move to work out what is driving your pain.
- A clear explanation of what is going on, in plain English
- Hands-on treatment where it helps, such as joint mobilisation or soft tissue work
- A short set of exercises you can actually fit into your week
- An honest view of how long recovery usually takes, and when a scan or a consultant opinion would help
Our patients typically need around five sessions to reach their goals, but some need fewer and some more. We will always tell you what we think you need.
Recovery is rarely about one magic treatment. It is about the right explanation, the right hands-on care and the right exercise, at the right time.
