Not sure which one? Let a physio pick for you
- Tell us what's going on. Where it hurts, how long it's been, your postcode, your insurer if you have one, and when you can get to appointments. It takes about two minutes.
- A physiotherapist reads it. Not an algorithm. A HCPC-registered physiotherapist on our team reads every enquiry. If what you describe needs a GP or A&E rather than a physio, they'll tell you that instead.
- You hear back, usually within 24 hours. We email you the clinic that fits your problem, your area and your budget, and why.
- You book directly with the clinic. You pay the clinic, not us, and you don't have to book at all.
PhysioMatch London is free for patients. Some clinics may pay us a fee for introductions. Clinics on this page are listed because of their ratings and published information. None of them paid to be included.
