West 1 Physiotherapy and Pilates

I had feared my running days might be over . . . Following MRI in May was referred to Grace at West 1 who was able to explain what was going on with my knee and what needed to change to rehabilitate/strengthen in a way that even I could understand. I'm back running now having followed Grace's programme and advice over the last 3 months with a rehabilitated knee and revived confidence. And my best ParkRun 5k time for a year! New running shoes to celebrate! Thanks Grace! Andrew

Vishal and his team were amazing. Although I only had two visits I feel i can contact them at any time and they will advise me appropriately. I always feel despite the good advise that it is best to go and see them, after which I feel reassured and confident in getting back to my day to day activities.

i had been to a previous physio for the base of my back that i did not feel was helping and was recommended to Steven Hankin, he immediately felt the previous physio had been treating me for the wrong problem and he felt it was something else relating to my hip and needed more than just a physio. He spoke to a colleague and recommended me to a specialist who subsequently sent me for an MRI and confirmed Steven was correct. I am now having further medical treatment before stating the physio again with Steven. Highly recommend him as he could of kept me coming in for sessions and earning money but his priority was the correct treatment. highly recommend him

Have seen Grace regularly to deal with knee and underlying hip issues. Has helped tremendously with day to day discomfort and identified the underlying issue which is now being addressed. Friendly, accommodating and effective

The team here are absolutely fantastic. I had been to 3 clinics in the area and West 1 Physiotherapy was by far the best. they listened to me and assessed my back properly before giving me a diagnosis and treatment plan. I continued treatment and my pain gradually got better. A friendly, calm, honest and highly qualified clinic. Thank you

When I booked an appointment to see Vishal I could hardly walk into the practice - my hip flexors had become so very tight which made walking incredible slow and very painful. I did not know what had happened but Vishal was amazing. He explained exactly what I had done and was so reassuring that my anxiety disappeared. After 30 minutes he had me walking and unlocked! I cannot recommend him more highly and he is definitely my go to person .

After hearing my husbands experience, I thought I would book in to see the team. I had a great experience at West 1 Physio. They were friendly, approachable and very knowledgable. The aftercare exercise e-mail was a perfect reminder of my session with them and what I need to do to improve my back. Thank you again :)

I cannot recommend this practice highly enough. I have hobbled in with sports injuries, acute neck/shoulder pain and generally feeling battered and bruised and every time they manage to piece me back together again! A truly fantastic team, well deserving of all 5 stars!

Have been to see for Vishal a number of times over the years for different sports injuries. Can't recommend him highly enough as he's always sorted out the issues and given clear exercises to follow if appropriate. Also, he never seems to encourage me to come back (and pay!) for treatment if he knows more physio won't help or if it's best that I just help myself with the exercises. Really appreciate that honesty. Thank you!

Saw Steven after breaking my shoulder. Rehab work was very specific and targeted to get me back playing all my sports. Managed to progress ahead of schedule. The location was great.Highly recommended and thanks to Steven who really knows his stuff.

Damaged my rotator cuff muscles in a fall whilst skiing and was suggested Vishal by a personal trainer. Cannot rate him and his team highly enough - professional, flexible, efficient and most importantly - results! Thank you.

I was recommended to go to West 1 Physiotherapy and Pilates by my knee consultant after a ski injury to my ligament. I had a look at their website and I instantly felt like I knew the team. A kind receptionist called and organised my appointment. The team, the skills and knowledge they have is brilliant. The treatment was effective and I clearly understood what they were doing and why. I’m now back at the gym with no issues. Thank you so much!

I visited following a martial arts injury and also because I had an existing problem I wanted checking out whilst training for the London marathon. Vishal was great at explaining the problem, providing relevant exercises and gave the best sports massage treatments. He was also really good at providing me with advice throughout and keeping me motivated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

I went to see Vishal regarding persistent pain in my neck and left shoulder, and within four sessions, the pain had reduced, through a combination of massage and acupuncture, beyond anything I had hoped possible. Vishal was very thorough, giving clear and helpful explanations of the problem, and useful and easy-to-remember exercises to do at home.

Shoulder caff damaged. Was referred to Sangi for my post injection physiotherapy for which I always had been reluctant to follow in past injuries... 3 weeks after I completely changed my view on physiotherapy! It totally works, my shoulder is back to perfect. Her knowledge, passion and sometimes...wittiness on the exercises/sessions, made me feel I am taken care of by a professional. Apart from being able to perform on her subject, she had to also deal with my stubbornness :-) I can’t recommend the clinic and Sangi enough... Thank you!

Went to see Vishal initially for a shoulder injury and was really impressed by his professionalism, knowledge and attention to detail. He helped to treat it after a few sessions and I have continued to go back seeing Vishal whenever I have an injury - he's just amazing! (and also great at providing actionable exercises to do) Would highly recommend West 1.

Given my extremely positive experience with my ACL rehabilitation, I would strongly recommend others consider West 1. Having recently undergone my second ACL reconstruction surgery, I needed a physio to help me rehabilitate my knee that so I could return to sport (mainly football). For rehab following my first reconstruction I used a physio in Windsor, however, following a change in jobs and a house move, this was no longer an option. I tried a number of Bupa authorised physios around London and did not find that their approach to rehab was well suited to my needs - e.g. no direct experience of ACL rehab, or no evening appointments or no consideration of my generally active lifestyle. Having got in contact with my surgeon, he recommended Vishal and his team. I have been going to West 1 since January and am now 8 months post op and almost ready to return to sport. The team provided me with exercises specific to my situation and kept the rehab program moving forward at a good pace.

I have visited West 1 Physiotherapy for various different aches and injuries over the last few years including a recent arthroscopy and have always had quick results from their knowledgeable, thorough and professional physios. You are in good hands!

Been going to West 1 Physio for around 3 months now and have seen significant improvements in my back pain. I've seen a few physios in the past but the attentiveness, expertise and customer focus at West 1 is unprecedented. Both Jess and Vishal have been excellent, and I would recommend them to anyone! Best physio in town.

I can honestly say that West 1 Physio have helped me significantly to get me back, following an elbow fracture. I was referred back to the clinic via my consultant. They know exactly what they are talking about. They take the time to explain whats wrong with a clear diagnosis. Best physio in London - A great service and highly recommended. Thank you

Highly recommend Vishal and team for any physio and rehabilitation. Went with troubling knee issue and over period of three months and a strict regime given by Vishal, the pain has gone. Not only was it effective but Vishal is genuinely interested in you and provided some much needed advice for my mother who was worried about an upcoming knee replacement.

Amazing team, very professional environment! I couldn't be more grateful to Vishal who has helped me with my stubborn back and muscle pain and I feel better than ever now!

I would not hesitate to recommend West 1 Physio. Both Vishal and Steve worked together to help me understand my problem, treat it and showed me the way to live with it. They are both very professional, approachable and knowledgable. I am about to have surgery and I will be straight back to them for my rehab. Thanks Guys, Michelle

I've had my share of injuries and seen many physios throughout London. This clinic from the point of calling to book, meeting my physio, reception staff and follow up - I cannot fault them. West 1 Physio helped me become pain free, I'm now able to continue day to day activity pain free

Sharon Gaughan

I would definitely recommend West 1 Physiotherapy. I was in safe hands with Sangi, who got me back onto the golf course within 5 or 6 weeks of my hip surgery. I will definitely go back if I have any future physiotherapy needs!

Archna Patel

Vishal helped get me back on track after I suffered severe sciatica and a broken rib. I have seen a couple of other physios at West1 Physiotherapists and they are a very talented and professional team. Would recommend them any day

Worked over Zoom with Louise on a fractured ankle. She quickly understood the problem, chad clearly done research on this specific injury, and came up with a range of exercises that I could do by myself between each session. She varied them each week to ensure they did not get too repetitive. The result has been a steady improvement. Many thanks, Louise.
