Conditions We Treat at Our Kensington W8 Clinic

Many of our W8 patients come to us after being referred by their GP, orthopaedic consultant or sports physician. Others self-refer directly, seeking fast access to expert care without the delays of an NHS pathway.

Sports Injuries – Kensington W8

Whether you have sprained your ankle on the Holland Park running trails, strained your knee in a football or tennis match, or picked up a repetitive strain from cycling or gym training, our Kensington sports physiotherapy team will get you back to full performance as quickly as possible. We use sport-specific assessment, hands-on treatment and structured return-to-sport programming to ensure you recover properly and reduce the risk of re-injury.

Hip Pain and Hip Replacement Rehabilitation

Hip pain is one of the most common conditions we treat at our Kensington clinic. Whether you are experiencing pain from hip impingement (femoroacetabular impingement), osteoarthritis, a hip labral tear or are recovering from a total hip replacement, our physiotherapists have the expertise to guide your recovery. We work closely with orthopaedic surgeons at nearby private hospitals including King Edward VII’s Hospital and the Cromwell Hospital to ensure a seamless transition from surgical care to rehabilitation.

Back Pain and Neck Pain

Back pain and neck pain are among the most searched-for health conditions in the Kensington and Chelsea area. Long hours at a desk, intensive gym training, posture problems and the demands of busy professional life all contribute to spinal pain. Our BOOST PHYSIO Kensington team will carry out a thorough assessment, identify the root cause of your pain and create a personalised treatment plan combining hands-on manual therapy with targeted exercise rehabilitation. Most patients see meaningful improvement within 4-6 sessions.

Shoulder, Knee and Ankle Injuries

From rotator cuff tears and frozen shoulder to ACL rehabilitation and Achilles tendinopathy, our Kensington team treats the full range of joint and soft tissue injuries. If you have been referred by a consultant for post-operative rehabilitation following shoulder, knee or ankle surgery, we will take your surgical notes, design a structured rehabilitation programme and track your progress through to full recovery and return to activity.

Women’s Health Physiotherapy

Our Kensington clinic offers specialist women’s health physiotherapy including post-natal rehabilitation, pelvic floor assessment and the Mummy MOT assessment for mothers returning to exercise after childbirth. Our women’s health physiotherapists take a thorough, sensitive approach to assessment and create individualised treatment plans that fit around the demands of family life.
