A new injury
You have rolled an ankle during a run, pulled a muscle in a match, or felt something go during training. Early assessment and treatment leads to faster recovery and reduces the risk of the injury becoming a longer-term problem.
Kew · Gunnersbury Park · Moorgate
Private physiotherapy in London for sports injuries, back pain, knee and shoulder problems, and recovery after surgery. Our HCPC-registered physios find the cause, treat it hands-on and give you a clear rehab plan to get you back to sport, work and daily life as quickly and safely as possible, at our clinics in Kew, Gunnersbury Park and Moorgate.
Reasons to come in
See a physio when pain or an injury stops you training, working or sleeping normally, or when it has not improved after a week or two. You do not need a GP referral to book private physiotherapy with us.
You have rolled an ankle during a run, pulled a muscle in a match, or felt something go during training. Early assessment and treatment leads to faster recovery and reduces the risk of the injury becoming a longer-term problem.
Pain that has lasted for weeks or months, despite rest, often needs more than time. A physiotherapist can find out why recovery has stalled and create a plan to get you moving forward again.
Knee pain when you run, shoulder pain when you serve, lower back stiffness after cycling. These problems rarely go away on their own and tend to get worse if you train through them.
If you are scheduled for orthopaedic surgery, such as an ACL reconstruction or shoulder repair, a strengthening programme before surgery can significantly improve your recovery afterwards.
After surgery, structured physiotherapy is essential to restore strength, mobility and confidence. We work with you from the early stages of healing through to your full return to sport.
Not injured right now? A biomechanical assessment or movement screening can identify weaknesses and imbalances before they turn into injuries.

Process
Every treatment plan is tailored to you and based on current research, clinical guidelines, and what is most effective for your condition and goals.
We start with a detailed assessment of your injury, symptoms, movement, training history, and goals to identify the real cause of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Through movement testing, strength assessment and hands-on examination, we diagnose the problem and explain what is happening, why it developed and what recovery looks like.
Treatment may include joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, muscle energy techniques and pain management strategies to reduce discomfort and restore movement.
Your recovery plan includes progressive exercises to improve strength, mobility, stability and long-term resilience, both in clinic and at home.
We gradually rebuild load, intensity and sport-specific movement to help you return safely and confidently to training, work or daily activity.
Every plan is based on current research and clinical guidelines. We explain why each part of your treatment is there, so you know what you are doing and why it helps.

Physiotherapy can help with sports injuries, back and neck pain, knee and shoulder problems, reduced mobility, and recovery before and after surgery. At Q Sports Physio, your physiotherapist builds a treatment plan around your condition, lifestyle and goals.
You do not need a GP referral for private physiotherapy at Q Sports Physio: you can book directly online or by phone. If you are claiming on health insurance, check with your insurer first, as some policies require a referral.
Private physiotherapy at Q Sports Physio costs £77.50 for an initial assessment and treatment and £67.50 for a follow-up at our Kew and Gunnersbury Park clinics. At Moorgate, an initial assessment and treatment costs £109. Block bookings save up to 15%.
You can use your health insurance for physiotherapy at Q Sports Physio: we work with all major insurers, including Bupa, AXA, Aviva, Vitality, Cigna and WPA. Check your cover with your provider before your first appointment.
Most people need between four and six physiotherapy sessions, depending on the injury and how long they have had it. Your physiotherapist will give you a realistic estimate after your first assessment.
Your first physiotherapy appointment includes a conversation about your symptoms and goals, a physical assessment and a clear explanation of what is going on. Where appropriate, treatment and your rehabilitation plan start in that same appointment. Read our post about how to prepare for your first physiotherapy appointment.
Physiotherapy is available at all three Q Sports Physio clinics in London: Kew in Richmond, Gunnersbury Park in Ealing and Moorgate in the City of London.
