City of London Physio. From my clinic, I can quickly identify the right treatment and help you recover faster

My patients come to me from all over the world to visit my London city clinic. As a physiotherapist with over 20 years of experience, I have had the privilege of working closely with patients at my London City Physiotherapy clinic. During my time here, I have honed my skills and developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that come with practicing in one of the world’s largest and most dynamic cities.

I work closely with each patient, taking the time to understand their individual needs and goals, and then develop a personalised treatment plan to help them achieve the best possible outcome. I frequently collaborate with other physios, doctors, and massage therapists regularly to provide my patients with a wide range of treatments and therapies. By bringing my knowledge and experience to the city of London, I am proud to help make a positive impact in the lives of those who seek my help.

As an experienced physiotherapist in the city of London near Liverpool Street, I specialise in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. I treat complex and long-term injuries including sports injuries and those who have had or will undergo surgery. I believe in addressing the cause of your problems, not just the symptoms.

Everything in your body is connected, and my job is to be a highly qualified detective. I work out not just which bit of you hurts or doesn’t work the way you want it to; but why this is happening. I then work with you to begin your journey back to your best possible state.

Whether in clinic or online, I usually spend an awful lot of the initial assessment session just talking, and learning your story. This is vital, especially if you’ve had a problem or a series of problems for a long time.

One of the best strategies I’ve learned is to get you to “fill in the gaps” of the statement: “I haven’t been the same since…” Of course, it’s not fool proof, but it’s interesting how often that uncovers the real source of the problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work with my health insurance company?

In most cases, I will ask you to pay for the session and my team will then provide you with a receipt so that you can claim back from your insurance company – they tend to refund their policyholders quickly, whereas paying clinicians can take as long as 90 days!

We have a blog post that talks about this in more detail, click here to read it.

Do you do virtual/online Physiotherapy?

Since the start of the first lockdown, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy ruled that all physio should be “virtual first”. And although the restrictions are now lifting, I’m still offering online physiotherapy as an option.

If you choose to go virtual, we’ll begin with an online video assessment and then decide whether online physio, in-clinic physio, or a hybrid of both is best suited to your current situation. Even if a clinic visit isn’t right for you right now or if you live too far away from London for in-person treatment to be practical, I can still give you real help, treatment and support.

Do you work with other therapists, doctors, sports coaches?

I am a big fan of teamwork. I’m building a continuous professional development group for physios, osteopaths, surgeons, physicians, nutritionists, personal trainers, therapists, coaches, yoga or pilates instructors and anybody whose work involves helping people live strong, healthy lives.

I believe that strong, trusting relationships between healthcare providers are vital for better patient outcomes. And I know that a constant desire to extend our knowledge and skills defines us as healthcare professionals. This group is a tool to help us mutually develop both.

Nell is a genius. I rarely use that word but she is.I've seen dozens of physios, osteopaths, and other such practitioners, many of whom have worked for and with elite athletes and sports organisations, including national teams. Nell is the best by a distance.Her depth of knowledge, empathy, and ability to really relate to patients is second to none.She is extremely detailed and holistic, but also pragmatic, and combines her exemplary talents with a rare intellectual honesty and humility: she will not proffer easy answers to look smart in the moment, she will instead authentically investigate and let you know what she's seeing and where this leads her. She doesn't want to appear right, she just wants to find the truth.The first time I saw her, we spoke for a long time. I told her the entire history and context of the issue I was struggling with. When Nell sent the report after, it was 100% what I'd said. I've never seen this before. Normally these summaries are decent but a little off, not quite what you said, not quite what you meant, close but missing a few parts or misconstrued. Nell's was *exactly* what I'd relayed. She *truly* listened. Maybe that's part of what makes her so exceptional.If you can see her, do it. Physios don't get better than this.

Nell is a superstar, first time I saw her I limped into her office - barely able to walk and in a lot of pain. After a lot of work on both parts I managed to run for the first time in years. I still haven't finished my journey but thank you Nell from the bottom of my heart - you gave me my life back and returned mum back to my kids 🙂 Also to anyone reading this review - buy her book - it's excellent!

Nell is on a different level/planet than sports physios I have used. She clearly has an understanding of how the whole body as a system functions. I was a little suprised at her detailed documentation of my lifestyle.Bottom line a sucessful diagnosis clearly explained with clear detail of the reasoning. Everything just fell into place. I feel as though I am getting my old body back. I am purchasing her book "How To Be Your Own Physio".

Nell is incredible! After seeing three different physiotherapists without much progress, I finally found Nell, who not only identified the real root of my long-standing niggles and sports-related injuries but also helped me address them effectively. Her depth of knowledge is remarkable, and I always looked forward to our insightful conversations about the human body. Even eight months after being discharged, I still incorporate her exercises into my daily routine, and they've made a lasting difference. I can't recommend Nell highly enough!

I have experienced hip pain for 25 years and have seen so many different practitioners over the years and no one has effectively treated my symptoms and following a recommendation from an Sport's Physician, I saw Nell and she recognised that it was not my hips that were the problem but my left foot.Nell is thorough in her approach and has such a huge knowledge base and she looks at movement patterns that could be contributing to pain felt elsewhere in the body.I would recommend Nell to anyone who has complex and long-standing pain in their joints. After just 2 visits, I am feeling so much better and I have a plan that I follow at home to build up strength and stability. Nell is definitely the best physio you will ever see.

I call Nell the final boss of Physios! When I first began seeing here I had a wide variety of problems and pain. She is reassuring, will try out innovative and new ways of treating you and is determined to find the underlying problems which need addressing.

Nell is fantastic. I was referred to her by a shoulder surgeon because I'd had serious impingement for several years and other things (e.g. steroid injections) had not helped. At the first appointment I was unable to lift my left arm above chin height. Nell traced the cause to asymmetry from a broken collarbone 16 years earlier. She got the shoulder moving again and I am now rock climbing harder than I was before I got injured. Her combination of manual therapy in clinic and giving me exercises to do at home has proved very effective. Every few months I get some other injury (e.g. broken hand from a fall) and she helps me to promptly rehab it. I've seen a bunch of physios over my lifetime but Nell is without any doubt the best!

Game changer. Nell seems to have fixed a 10-year problem (plantar fasciitis) in one or two sessions and now we’re seeing what else she can help me improve! As well as being exceptional at what she does, Nell is clearly very passionate about continually learning and is absolutely delightful company too. Worth every penny - best physio I’ve ever seen by some distance, and I’ve seen a lot!

Nell has an eye for detail and is good at solving complex problems. She is extremely knowledgable, professional and very kind.

Nell is easily the best physio I’ve ever seen. Having had many disappointing physio sessions over the years, Nell made me feel confident that we really had got to bottom of my knee issue. Not only did she examine my knee, but all of my potential problem areas with instantaneous results. She just gets it, and she’s a lovely person too.

As a medical professional with a running injury, I knew that there was only one person that I needed to see. Nell’s approach was holistic and focussed on finding the source of the issue rather than just trying to treat a symptom in isolation. Nell’s approach was calm, professional and caring. She followed up the consultation with a number of exercises to do. Her treatment plan worked like a dream and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her to anyone who’s struggling with an injury, pain or stiffness. First class from start to finish.

If you think that online physiotherapy might be right for you, I would love to help.
