Do you like to get to know a medical professional, before you see them? Do you do a bit of background research on them before you book? Recovery starts with trust. Trust starts with the person you are seeing. Over the last few weeks we've been sharing short introduction videos from four of our physiotherapists, talking about why they love being a physio and who they love helping. 👋 Kathleen - full time at our Hampstead NW3 clinic, right opposite the tube station. She became a physio to help people get more out of life through movement, and puts real weight on making sure her recovery goals for a patient line up with what actually matters to them. 👋 Zoe - working across our Mill Hill and Kentish Town clinics, bringing the same energy to both. What she enjoys most is seeing someone walk in struggling and walk out moving freely again. 👋 Kate McLeod - our Specialist Physiotherapist in Hampstead, with almost 30 years across South Africa, Australia and Scotland. Still fascinated by how people move, and by the detective work of figuring out why an injury happened in the first place. 👋 Katy - the friendly face of our East Finchley clinic, helping patients move better and feel stronger every day. What is important to you when you are choosing which medical professional to see?

Neck pain physiotherapy treatment in Hendon NW4 🌿 Sarah shows how acupuncture can help ease tight, tension-filled necks at BOOST PHYSIO Hendon. If you spend your day hunched over a screen or carrying stress in your shoulders, acupuncture can be a brilliant addition to hands-on physiotherapy. It helps reduce muscle tension, ease pain and improve blood flow to the area, working alongside manual therapy and exercise for a more complete recovery. Our physios use acupuncture as part of a personalised treatment plan, never as a stand-alone quick fix, so you get lasting results rather than only a temporary ease. Same-day private physiotherapy appointments are available at BOOST PHYSIO Hendon, with a full assessment and hands-on treatment plan built around you. 📍 Book your assessment today - link in bio BOOST PHYSIO has clinics in Hampstead Garden Suburb NW11, East Finchley N2, Hampstead NW3, Swiss Cottage NW3, Hendon NW4, Kensington W8, Muswell Hill N10, Elstree WD6, Mill Hill NW7, Borehamwood WD6, Crouch End N8 and Kentish Town NW5.

Shoulder pain physiotherapy in Hendon NW4 - meet the muscle most people overlook 💪 The serratus anterior is one of the most overlooked muscles when it comes to shoulder pain. It sits along the side of your ribcage and helps control how your shoulder blade moves - when it's weak, your shoulder often ends up doing extra work it wasn't designed for, leading to that nagging ache or pinching feeling when you lift your arm. Aaran, Senior Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist at our Hendon NW4 clinic, shows a simple serratus anterior strengthening move in this reel that can help restore proper shoulder blade control and take the strain off your shoulder joint.

Get to know Kathleen, our physiotherapist in Hampstead NW3 👋 Kathleen works full time at our Hampstead clinic, right opposite Hampstead tube station, and she became a physiotherapist for one simple reason - to help people get more out of life through improved movement and function. What really drives her is the collaborative side of the job. Before she starts any treatment plan, Kathleen makes sure her goals for your recovery line up with what actually matters to you, because she believes that shared starting point is what makes recovery stick. She loves working with people from all walks of life, from desk-based professionals dealing with everyday aches to amateur athletes training for their next marathon - and everything in between. If pain, injury or surgery is holding you back, Kathleen and the team at BOOST PHYSIO Hampstead are ready to help you get moving again. 📍 BOOST PHYSIO Hampstead NW3, opposite Hampstead tube station Book your assessment with Kathleen - link in bio or boostphysio.com Expert same day private physiotherapy near you at one of BOOST PHYSIO's clinics across London and Hertfordshire: Hampstead Garden Suburb NW11, East Finchley N2, Hampstead NW3, Swiss Cottage NW3, Hendon NW4, Kensington W8, Muswell Hill N10, Elstree WD6, Mill Hill NW7, Borehamwood WD6, Crouch End N8, Kentish Town NW5 and Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre NW3.

End of a busy day at BOOST PHYSIO Kentish Town NW5, and this is the view Zoe gets to walk home to 😍 Golden light over Parliament Hill, the rooftops of Gospel Oak, and a proper reminder of why we love this corner of London.

Can't reach the top shelf without wincing? Struggling to sleep on that side? Reaching behind your back to zip up a dress feels impossible? 😣 That's shoulder pain talking - and it has a way of creeping into everything, from getting dressed to driving to simply carrying shopping bags. Aaran, our Senior Physiotherapist at BOOST PHYSIO Hendon, demonstrates an exercise to help ease shoulder pain and start restoring proper movement. Shoulder pain rarely stays in one place. It can show up as: 🔹 A deep ache that disturbs your sleep 🔹 Stiffness that makes reaching overhead or behind your back really difficult 🔹 A catching or clicking feeling with certain movements 🔹 Weakness that makes lifting or carrying feel unstable The tricky part is that shoulder pain has several possible causes and the right treatment depends entirely on which one you're dealing with. Getting an accurate assessment early means you get the right plan from the start, rather than guessing your way through it. 💪 The good news? With the right physiotherapy, most people return to full, pain free function. 👉 Find out more about how we assess and treat shoulder pain: https://lnkd.in/eQZHy9wB Expert same day private physiotherapy near you at one of BOOST PHYSIO's clinics across London and Hertfordshire. #shoulderpain #shoulderpainrelief #physiotherapy #physio #hendon #nw4 #northwestlondon #londonphysio #privatephysio #boostphysio #mskphysio

Can you stand on one leg with your eyes closed for 10 seconds? Try it right now (safely, near a wall) 👀 Most people are surprised by how much harder this gets the moment their eyes shut. That's because balance relies on three systems working together - your eyes, your inner ear and the sensors in your joints and muscles. Take away the visual input and your body has to work much harder to keep you upright. Sarah, one of our Senior physios in our Hendon NW4 clinic, demonstrates the standing balance test with eyes closed and explains what your result can tell you about your stability, fall risk and how your body's proprioception is working day to day. This matters more than people think - good balance protects you from falls, supports confident movement and often declines quietly before anyone notices. Give it a go and let us know how many seconds you managed in the comments 👇 Concerned about your balance or had a few near-misses lately? Come and see us - we'll assess it properly and build a plan to strengthen it. 📍 BOOST PHYSIO Hendon NW4 and 12 other clinics across London and Hertfordshire Same-day appointments available - book at the link in bio or boostphysio.com #PhysiotherapyLondon #Hendon #BalanceTest #FallPrevention #BoostPhysio

How many times can you stand up from a chair in 30 seconds? 🤔 It sounds simple, but this quick test tells physios a huge amount about your lower body strength, balance and fall risk - and it takes less time than boiling the kettle. Jason (Senior Physiotherapist, Swiss Cottage) explains exactly what the 30 second sit to stand test measures, why it matters. This isn't about passing or failing. It's about knowing where you stand today, so you can stay strong, active and independent for years to come 💪 Curious how you'd score? Try it at home (safely, with a sturdy chair) and let us know your number in the comments. Want a professional assessment instead? Book in at your nearest BOOST PHYSIO clinic across London and Hertfordshire and we'll run through it properly, then build a plan around your results. 📍 Swiss Cottage NW3 and 12 other clinics across London and Hertfordshire #PhysiotherapyLondon #SwissCottage #MobilityMatters #FallPrevention #BoostPhysio
