I had been limping for a month following an ankle Injury and sought a physio appointment with Ealing Physio as the limp was not improving.
Karthik saw me and after examination felt it was likely to be an Achilles tendon rupture which he subsequently confirmed on ultrasound scan.
He wrote an excellent and thorough letter with his findings, which facilitated access to the right orthopaedic team for tendon repair, within the window for primary repair.
Thank you for confirming the diagnosis which has accelerated the orthopaedic care that I needed. – Manju Kurian (Consultant in NHS)
“My appointment with Karthik Krishna went brilliantly. I came in with acute lower back pain. It was so bad that my movement was restricted in many ways but left feeling so much better. 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
“Very good experience!
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!
Definitely sure to come back for any further physio needs ☺️” – Ben Liew
