BOOST PHYSIO’s Swiss Cottage clinic is one of our busiest and most established locations — and it’s easy to see why. Situated inside the Virgin Active Gym at the O2 Centre on Finchley Road, we’ve been helping patients from Swiss Cottage, South Hampstead, West Hampstead, Kilburn, Brondesbury Park and Golders Green recover from pain, injury and surgery for over a decade.

The location itself is remarkable for physiotherapy: inside a state-of-the-art gym, our patients have access to the full gym floor and pool for their rehabilitation exercises — a facility advantage that very few physio clinics in London can match. Whether you need a quiet treatment room for hands-on manual therapy or a fully equipped gym for sports rehabilitation, we have it under one roof.

How to Get to BOOST PHYSIO Swiss Cottage NW3

The NW3 and surrounding postcode area has one of the most active populations in London. From joggers and cyclists using the routes around Primrose Hill, Hampstead Heath and the Regents Canal, to tennis players, gym-goers and the large number of local families managing sports injuries in children and teenagers — the demand for high-quality physiotherapy is high. We also see a significant number of post-operative patients from the Royal Free Hospital and the Wellington Hospital, who are referred to us or seek us out as a trusted local clinic for their rehabilitation.

The O2 Centre car park (just behind the gym) makes us one of the most accessible physiotherapy clinics in NW London by car, with 3 hours of parking for £3.50 or free with a £10 spend at Sainsbury’s. Finchley Road tube station (Jubilee and Metropolitan Lines) is just one minute’s walk away, and the overground at Finchley Road & Frognal is a short walk too.

We are conveniently located for patients from: Swiss Cottage NW3, South Hampstead, West Hampstead NW6, Kilburn NW6, Brondesbury Park NW2, Hampstead NW3, Belsize Park NW3, Golders Green NW11, Cricklewood NW2, St John’s Wood NW8, Maida Vale W9.

Physiotherapy Services at Swiss Cottage NW3

Sports Injury Treatment

The NW3 area attracts serious and recreational athletes in equal measure. From road runners clocking miles around Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park to cyclists using the area’s greenways, from gym-goers at Virgin Active itself to tennis players at the Finchley Road courts — when injury strikes, fast, expert treatment makes the difference. Our Swiss Cottage team treats the full spectrum of sports injuries: ankle sprains, hamstring and calf strains, IT band syndrome, knee ligament injuries (including ACL), rotator cuff problems, shoulder dislocations and sports-related back and hip pain. With the gym floor on hand for rehabilitation exercises and Dan Burgin as our dedicated Sports Rehab Therapist, your return to sport will be structured, safe and faster than you’d expect. → https://boostphysio.com/sports-injury-clinic-london/

Back & Neck Pain Treatment

Back and neck pain are among the most common reasons our Swiss Cottage patients come to see us — and with a large number of desk-based professionals and commuters in the NW3 catchment, it’s no surprise. Whether it’s a sudden acute disc episode, long-standing sciatica, postural neck pain from prolonged screen time, or persistent lower back ache that hasn’t responded to rest, our team delivers a thorough assessment and a hands-on manual therapy-led treatment plan that gets to the root cause. We treat slipped discs, sciatica, facet joint pain, muscle spasm, cervicogenic headaches and postural syndrome. → https://boostphysio.com/back-pain-treatment-options/

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation — Gym Facilities on Hand

One of Swiss Cottage’s biggest advantages is that post-operative patients can progress directly from clinic treatment to gym-based rehabilitation in the same session, using the full Virgin Active facility. This is invaluable for ACL reconstruction, knee replacement, hip replacement and shoulder surgery patients who need structured progressive loading as part of their recovery. Our physios work closely with orthopaedic consultants from the Royal Free, Wellington and Cromwell hospitals. → https://boostphysio.com/physiotherapy-after-total-joint-replacement-surgery/

Women’s Health Physiotherapy

Madeleine Paterson provides specialist women’s health physiotherapy at our Swiss Cottage clinic, including the Mummy MOT® postnatal assessment, pelvic floor rehabilitation, treatment for urinary incontinence, pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy, and post-natal musculoskeletal recovery. Swiss Cottage and the surrounding NW3 area has a young, family-oriented demographic and Madeleine’s expertise in this area is in high demand. https://boostphysio.com/mummy-mot/

Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Our Swiss Cottage clinic offers Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy for stubborn tendon conditions that haven’t responded to standard physiotherapy. Conditions including plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy and tennis elbow frequently respond excellently to shockwave when other treatments have stalled. Typically 3–6 sessions are required. → https://boostphysio.com/shockwave-treatment/
