He explained what the problem was and how to address it. At the end I was given a couple of simple but effective exercises to do at home. With a few more sessions I’m hoping to be 100% soon. Definitely would recommend!" - Marcela Pallova

Friendly receptionist to ask questions and answers calls quickly. Karthik was very professional and knowledgeable (seemed very overqualified for a physio tbh but I ain’t gonna complain about that haha) explained everything very well and also a pleasure to talk to!

After suffering from a knee pain for 2 years (I was literally limping!), and trying 4 physiotherapists, 2 knee surgeons with 2 MRI scans. Jyothish was able to diagnose me and put me in an effective treatment plan which is improving my knee week after week. Highly recommend!
" - Tarek Aljneidi

"I have been attending Ealing Physio for a knee injury. I was seen by Jyotish who assessed my knee and diagnosed it in the first session. I have gone from having pain whilst walking to being able to resume my 20km+ running regime in a four month period thanks to Jyotish's expertise (and a lot of squats). The whole team at Ealing Physio are very professional, the physiotherapists are extremely knowledgeable and clearly experienced in their respective fields. I have had no concerns attending this clinic during the COVID-19 pandemic, social distancing was respected where possible (obviously not possible during treatment), infection control was very well managed. I have no complaints! Thank you Ealing Physio and Jyotish" - Olivia Collins

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

"Had a shoulder dislocation and from past experiences it would’ve taken me 3 months to get back to playing football. 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
