What Swiss Cottage patients say about us on Google

These are real reviews left on our Swiss Cottage Google profile, pulled in automatically and refreshed every day, so the rating and number of reviews below are always current. You'll see our physios mentioned by name a lot. That's the bit we're proudest of, because it means people remember who helped them get better.

Meet your Swiss Cottage team

When you book in Swiss Cottage you'll see one of the four clinicians below. Each of our physios has a mentor they review cases with and we train together as a team twice a month, so you get the experience of the whole BOOST PHYSIO group behind the person in the room with you.

Hands-on physiotherapy in Swiss Cottage

We don't hand you a sheet of exercises and send you on your way. Your physio will use their hands to assess and treat you, alongside the exercises that keep you better. Here's what that looks like with our Swiss Cottage team.

What we help with in Swiss Cottage

Lots of our Swiss Cottage patients use the pool, gym and classes upstairs, so we see plenty of exercise injuries alongside everyday aches and pains. Here are the problems we treat most often, each with a full guide if you'd like to read more first.

Your first appointment in Swiss Cottage

1. We listen first: your physio asks about your symptoms, your health and what you want to get back to doing.
2. A proper hands-on assessment: we look for the cause of your pain, not just where it hurts.
3. A clear plan: you leave knowing what's wrong, how many sessions you're likely to need and what you can do at home.
4. Treatment usually starts that day: hands-on treatment, exercise rehab, taping or shockwave, depending on what you need.

You don't need a GP referral. If you're using health insurance, bring your authorisation number and we'll deal with your insurer for you.

Do I need to be a leisure centre member?

No. Our clinic is open to everyone, whether or not you have a Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre membership.

Have you moved from the O2 Centre?

Yes. Our Swiss Cottage clinic has moved from the O2 Centre on Finchley Road and is now inside Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre on Adelaide Road.

Do I need a GP referral to see a physio in Swiss Cottage?

No. You can book directly online or by phone. If you're claiming on health insurance, your insurer may ask you to get an authorisation number first.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

We can usually see you the same day or the next. You can book online 24/7 or call us on 020 8201 7788.

What are the Swiss Cottage clinic's opening hours?

Monday to Thursday 8am-9pm, Friday 8am-6pm, Saturday 8am-5pm and Sunday 8am-6pm. Bank holiday hours can vary, so please check when you book.

Where is the clinic and can I park?

We're inside Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre, 4a Adelaide Road, London NW3 3NF, a short walk from Swiss Cottage tube station. Parking nearby is limited, so most patients walk or come by tube or bus.

Which health insurers do you accept in Swiss Cottage?

Bupa, AXA Health, Vitality, Aviva and WPA. We also welcome self-pay patients. If you're not sure whether you're covered, give us a call and we'll help you check.

Can you help with swimming and gym injuries?

Yes. We see a lot of swimmers, gym-goers and class regulars, with problems like shoulder pain from swimming, knee and back pain from lifting and running injuries. We'll get you back to training safely.

Do you offer shockwave therapy in Swiss Cottage?

Yes. We use shockwave therapy for stubborn tendon problems such as plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy and tennis elbow, usually alongside an exercise programme. Your physio will tell you at your first appointment whether it's likely to help.

Do you treat patients after surgery?

Yes. We regularly help people recover after knee and hip replacements, ACL reconstruction, shoulder surgery and spinal surgery. We work closely with orthopaedic consultants across London.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on the problem and how long you've had it. A recent strain or sprain often improves well within a handful of sessions, while longer-standing pain or rehab after surgery usually needs more. You'll get a clear estimate at your first appointment.

Who will I see?

One of our Swiss Cottage team: Jason Hui, Setareh Radfar, Travis Egerton or Dan Burgin. If you'd like to see someone specific, just choose them when you book.
