About us

Uxbridge Physiotherapy combines over 20 years of physiotherapy experience and extensive postgraduate training to provide a friendly, high quality, personalised physiotherapy service for muscle, joint and nerve complaints.

We understand the impact that pain can have on your life, and aim to return you to full, pain-free function as quickly as possible and to prevent recurrence. Our philosophy is to treat you uniquely, to be flexible to your specific circumstances and needs. If you need to get back to work or sport, need rehabilitation after an operation, or are keen to reduce those daily aches – we can help.

Through years of practical experience, primarily in the borough of Hillingdon, and extensive postgraduate training, we have developed a high level of expertise in our field.

We have also developed close links with local GPs and orthopaedic doctors. This enables prompt onward referral should further investigation or treatment be necessary to ensure you receive the treatment you need.

And at our base – Brunel University Indoor Athletics Centre – we have access to state-of-the-art facilities to aid your rehabilitation.
