Definitely would recommend!" - Marcela Pallova

The whole team at Ealing Physio are very professional, the physiotherapists are extremely knowledgeable and clearly experienced in their respective fields.

He spotted very quickly that the problem was in fact, in my toe and the foot muscle chain. In four sessions and following the exercises prescribed daily at home I was back up and start running again! I can’t describe the joy! We kept on working for a few more sessions while I would increase the mileage. Adam is a super reliable physio, very committed and amazing to work with." - Neus Beascoechea Segui

With Ealing physio, specifically Adam, I was back to playing football after 6-7 weeks after the injury. Highly recommend Ealing physio. Staff are all amazing and friendly. If you have a sports related injury, ask for Adam 10/10 physio. He’ll make sure you get back to the pitch in no time. 5 stars all round" - Ateed Butt
