Physical Therapy Merton, London

As a visitor to London, I needed to get some urgent intervention for severe back pain. My daughter called the nearby reCentre early this morning and, quickly recognising my needs, they juggled their appointments to fit me in a couple of hours later. The woman in Reception was exceptionally pleasant and Osteopath Paige did a full assessment of my issues, followed by some treatment which considerably relieved my pain. Thanks to you all for your consideration and professional support - you rescued my weekend. Money well spent.

Over the years I have suffered from aching lower back pain, and shoulder pain. I have been wearing a shoulder support brace and support vest for many years. I cannot leave home without them. I then pulled a muscle in my back, so I finally went to get this all sorted out once and for all. I am seeing Lucy, this is my second visit, and I am already feeling the deference. Lucy identified the problem right away. I have lost strength in my lower back, and my core is very weak. Lucy is very warm and friendly; I feel very comfortable with her. she has explained in great detail why I have been wearing my support braces for so many years and has encouraged me to trust myself and to start believing that I will be ok without my support braces. I have not worn them for 3 days now, when I start to feel the shoulder pain, it reminds me to hold my core, and surprisingly enough the pain eases up. Since doing the specific exercises and practicing holding my core and controlling my breathing, I already feel better about myself. Thank you, Lucy.
