"I attended Ealing Physio whilst back in London for leave as I work outside the UK. I have been experiencing lower back pain and reduced mobility for some months. The whole team have been wonderful. Reception efficiently registered my needs and arranged a diagnosis session immediately. My treatment involved three of the physiotherapists and all were excellent. Treatment consisted of soft tissue mobilisation to release muscle tension, spinal joint mobilisation, ultrasound and acupuncture. The treatment was conducted in ten daily sessions, fitting around my leave. An exercise programme has been prescribed to increase spinal mobility and improve core stability. The results have been amazing. In ten days the pain has been reduced to almost nil and mobility has returned. I would recommend Ealing Physio to anyone experiencing lower back pain and mobility issues."

C F S (14 October )

"Lois da Costa has helped take me on a road to recovery after a herniated disc operation in May. Lois has given me the proper treatment I never had in America. She identified that the underlying problem is a weakness in my left side. Her careful guidance has enlightened me to something that should have been treated in Connecticut when I had my first disc herniation in 2009. We are working together on strength training that will help me not resort to favouring my right side again.

I have never had the level of care with any physical therapist before seeing Lois at Ealing Physio. She called me at home several times to guide me when I had painful muscle spasm that left me incapacitated for 30 hours. She was also there for me after my surgery with calls to check in and guide me until I was ready to resume physical therapy after the operation. I can now look forward to a full recovery with the knowledge, care and attention provided by Lois da Costa."

SW

"Yiannis is a modest man, humble with his English but explains technical concepts very well. After only 3 sessions there is a marked improvement. He is a miracle worker"

Dawn Noel July

"After being involved in a car accident and receiving physio and chiropractic treatment for a few months I didn't feel any better and the pain wasn't improving, I went to see my GP and I was recommended to see Greg (Grzegorz) for treatment. He was the first physio to sit down with me and go through a very thorough and involved consultation which in turn has had a massive effect on my wellbeing. I have had numerous treatments with Greg over the past 2 years and I would highly recommend him to anyone - he is always calm and understanding, gracious, incredibly welcoming and eager to "fix me". With the demands of a stressful job and commuting I find I am sat at a desk most days or in a car and Greg has recommended exercises and helpful tips on how I should adapt my lifestyle patterns to help me going forward. Greg is loyal to his patients, he is one of the most hardworking and meticulous individuals I have met and I would recommend him to anyone."

Helena S. (Consultant) London,

"Ioannis Agathokleous is a new chartered physiotherapist at Ealing Physio, and I was his first patient. Right from the first appointment I have seen an improvement. I have Achilles tendinopathy caused by my running, well jogging really. I am very keen to restart as I enjoy the exercise. I'm not ready quite yet, but each time I have received treatment I have seen a marked improvement.

Ioannis has a caring and authoritative manner that has helped me enormously."

David Millican

"I approached Satheesh seven weeks ago with regards to my 89 year old mother.

Having had major surgery to replace a collapsed and dislocated right hip she was discharged from hospital with no physiotherapy in place and we were told that due to a waiting list in this area it could be up to three months before she would see anyone under the NHS.

Satheesh quickly set to work loosening my mother's ankle and knee joints in order that she could improve her balance when standing with a frame. He also identified that the muscles in my mother's left leg were in much poorer condition than in her right and gave her daily exercises to strengthen these. Over the weeks my mother's walking has greatly improved, to the point that her latest exercise involves walking around the kitchen (without her frame) using the worktop for balance.

My mother's mobility is now such that she can get both in and out of bed, wash and dress herself and walk around the house into the back garden to sit and enjoy the sun unassisted. The manager of the assisted care company has agreed that their services are no longer needed and will finish tomorrow, she also commented on what an amazing recovery my mother had made and felt this owed a great deal to her having physio from the first week after leaving hospital.

Satheesh has been polite, gentle and caring as well as firm when needed with my mother and I am absolutely certain that her excellent recovery has been in no small part due to his help and skills as a physiotherapist.

Finally, if faced with this type of situation again I would not hesitate to seek Satheesh's services!"

JM

"I underwent physical therapy at Ealing Physio for contractures six weeks after sustaining multiple fractures and dislocations of my left wrist, forearm and elbow that required emergency surgical correction. I found the physiotherapist to be very professional, knowledgeable and competent. His corrective inputs during physio sessions and advice for daily practice at home dramatically transformed my limb within 4 weeks. Now, I have achieved nearly full range of movements at all affected joints, have no pain and ever improving muscle strength. Overall the quality of service I received at the Ealing Physio was excellent and I warmly recommend them. Thank you Ealing Physio!"

"Just wanted to let you know that after seeing the Physiotherapist at Ealing Physio. I ran the Ealing Eagles Gunnersbury Park 10k on Saturday last and had a personal best: 46:29. Knee, hip and leg all felt great and still do."

"Following a total hip replacement I chose your clinic because of the very professional and informative website. I am so glad I did because from both the admin staff and my physio Lois I have experienced the highest level of professionalism in a most friendly and reassuring atmosphere. After only two visits the crutches have gone and the programme Lois has set me is enabling me to return to normal activities much sooner than anyone expected. Once again, thank you all for your excellent service."

Carole L

"Six months ago I walked into Ealing Physio experiencing terrible pain in my lower back and with an inability to move my right arm. From the moment I walked in, the reception staff demonstrated empathy and support towards me. I was given an appointment for later that day with Lois, who right from the start has given me guidance and help through a difficult period which, resulted in having to undergo a shoulder operation and a continued programme for on-going physiotherapy for both my post-operative shoulder and lower back problems. Lois is always professional and supportive with a reassuring knowledge of expertise in her field. She continues to help me and gives me all the encouragement I need to becoming a healthier and pain-free human being. Thank you!"

"I first saw Carl at Ealing Physio during the second week following my hip replacement operation. My leg was sore, bruised and heavily swollen. I had two appointments a week for three weeks, followed by one appointment for the next four weeks. During this time Carl worked on my leg and gave me exercises to do at home. Within two months of my operation I was walking normally without aids and no limp.

I have two friends who both had the same operation this year and after six months still have problems walking without aids and climbing stairs.

The personal interest and care provided by Carl has given me a speedy and complete recovery for which I shall always be very grateful."

"Dear Lois, thank you for the excellent treatment I received from you at Ealing Physio. I walked through the door on 29 September with severe back pain spasm and with reduced bending mobility. Even after the first treatment the pain reduced and I was more mobile. After my full course of treatment I am pain free and my mobility has increased beyond my expectations ....and I was able to wear high heeled shoes for my son's wedding too!

The whole experience was great. You told me every inch of the way what you considered to be the problem and explained what I could expect from each treatment giving me exercises to undertake between treatments. The exercises have become such a routine that I now do them every day and enjoy the benefit of my continued mobility.

The reception staff were equally supportive and helpful at all times and made the whole experience a pleasure. I hope I won't need your services in the future, but I know where to come at the first indication of any problem and would heartily recommend Ealing Physio to my friends and relations.

Thank you again.

Yours most sincerely."

"Ealing Physio was recommended by my G.P. I have been receiving treatment for lower back and leg pain, which was immediately diagnosed by Carl, and confirmed with MRI Scans,(Spinal injury). For the passed four months or so, Carl has reassured me of my condition, with clear explanation/ demonstration on certain exercises, my back pain has improved immensely.

Carl has always been polite and professional throughout. I would definitely recommend Ealing Physio. Thank you Carl.""

"I am a 52 year old film director and a number of months ago, I began experiencing pain in my right thigh which has grown to become severe and debilitating pain in both my legs from my hips to my knees, accompanied with pain in my lower back.

I've seen a number of doctors starting with my GP and have had various tests including an MRI.

The MSK clinic at Ealing Hospital diagnosed "swelling" in my lower back, told me that there was nothing they could do and that I just simply had "to adapt". They offered me no treatment, no suggestions as to how to better my condition and when I pushed for further advice, they simply discharged me saying "we can only really help perhaps 30% of the patients we see". When my GP heard of this diagnosis, he explained that because of the grave funding issue with the NHS, he was powerless to counter this decision and that I would be very well advised to seek help elsewhere.

With each doctor and health professional I have seen on the NHS, I stress that I am not seeking a "magic bullet", that I am very aware that spinal issues can be complex and slow to heal but that unless I'm given some valid and practical advice or guidance as to what I can do, as a patient, to better help my healing, I'm unlikely to get any better. I repeated to all and sundry that I am extremely motivated to do whatever I have to do in a gym but that I lack any kind of specialist knowledge and so am completely in the dark. Regrettably, this has fallen on deaf ears with regard to the NHS.

I've seen Carl Cachia in the past regarding a different condition and found his treatment to be swift and deeply effective. And so I presented myself to Carl yesterday in a somewhat desperate state.

After a detailed examination Carl confirmed that yes I do have swelling in my lower back but that I also have two other issues as well and that the three issues are compounding my problem, thereby crippling me in the process. However, to my great relief, he then went on to map out a proactive course of treatment that the two of us can do, together in session and on my own as a pro-active patient in the months to come.

Carl is the only health professional I have yet seen who has offered me hope, a way towards healing and the advice and expertise that I so desperately seek. Health problems can be deeply distressing and good health really does start with the attitude and behaviour of the patient. To a highly motivated and self-aware patient such as myself, hearing the words of such calm and positive advice, along with a realistic timeframe to my returning to a pain-free existence, is EXACTLY what I needed to hear.

Can I take this opportunity to thank you for recruiting Carl to your team. Please be aware that he is an absolutely fantastic ambassador to your business and a gifted health professional."

"Following a traumatic episode which resulted in a torn biceps tendon, I underwent surgery both for this and a subacromial decompression to address a long-standing rotator cuff problem.

I have been a patient with Christina Carlsen since she started up her first practice in London in the early 90s. As an active, fit part-time fitness and yoga instructor with a strong interest and a history of participation in endurance sports, especially running, I have availed myself of her services time and time again. I have also had no hesitation in sending my own clients to her.

The latest addition to her team, Bryan Yau, is an affable Canadian with exceptional rehabilitation skills. Prior to becoming a Physiotherapist, he worked as a Remedial Rehabilitation coach. As such, his skills are particularly relevant to the injured amateur or professional athlete. Christina assigned him to me after my surgery. Following a course of physiotherapy, manipulation and exercises, I have recently been to see my Consultant who is extremely pleased with my progress and very happy to leave me in the capable hands of Ealing Physio and Bryan. I am now back teaching and training."

Rose Mary Busto, September

"When I recently I experienced the worst, most excruciating lower back pain I had ever known, I was very fortunate in being offered an appointment with Lois da Costa that same day.

Having assessed and diagnosed my condition, Lois started treatment. By the end of the session, I felt better. The exercises that Lois recommended helped as well. After the second treatment, my back was back to normal and I could walk normally again without experiencing any pain.

Lois is an able physiotherapist whom I would recommend without reservation. She is also very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable - a true professional.

I would recommend Ealing Physio to anyone for the welcoming atmosphere, friendly receptionists and excellent physiotherapists."

Karin H

"Dear Sirs,

I wanted to let you know how delighted I was with the treatment provided by Lois da Costa at your physiotherapy practice. I had a sports injury that she identified as being to my medial collateral ligament. This had been inhibiting mobility in my lower right leg due to stiffness and pain, and it had persisted for about 2 months before I decided it was not healing and needed professional attention.

Lois da Costa provided me with an expert assessment and diagnosis, and a course of treatment and associated remedial exercises which promoted complete healing after about eight sessions.

I was very relieved and encouraged that I am now able to resume my fitness and sports activities. I would wholly recommend her, and your practice to my friends. Thank you."

David Malindine

"Thank you Lois, reading your report to the Rheumatologist is such a relief. You are the first health professional to understand the exact symptoms and pain that I have been experiencing over the last ten years. After just two sessions I am in less pain and have started to take control of my condition."

Lisa, Ealing aged 34

"I recently visited Ealing Physio for some emergency treatment after experiencing terrible back pain whilst being 24 weeks pregnant. The symptoms were so bad one day at work I couldn't move my back without excruciating pain, and couldn't put any weight on my left side.

The first appointment with Lois took immediate effect. My condition was diagnosed straightaway (Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction), with a detailed explanation of the problem area, and Lois started the physio treatment which eased the pain. I then had 3 more sessions of physio over the course of 2 weeks and after each session I was given different exercises to help strengthen the problem area and prevent reoccurrence.

By the last (4th) session, my pain had gone and I'm now following the advice given to keep my back safe and strong - its resulted in a much more comfortable pregnancy!

I will definitely recommend Lois to anyone in need of physio in the future."

Magdalena

"I consulted Christina Carlsen after four months of experiencing a heavy weight on my chest, chest pain, palpitations and breathlessness. A stress ECG, echo and angiogram had all ruled out heart problems, so I had recently returned to my GP to discuss what else could be done to find the cause of my ongoing health problem. She recommended a diagnostic appointment with Christina Carlsen.

Christina was extremely welcoming and empathetic and after a thorough question and answer session about my health history, she explained how she thought she might be able to help me. Following mobilisation of my back and neck I sat up some twenty minutes later with the blissful realisation that the weight had lifted and that my breathing was more normal. It seemed too good to be true, but, after completing the five sessions which Christina advised, the improvement continues and I feel reborn! I cannot recommend her professional expertise highly enough."

Lorraine B

"Hi. I have just completed an 8 week treatment with Karthik and would like to say how pleased I am with the treatment and the result. I had had the groin pain for over a year and it was seriously impacting my ability to advance in ashtanga yoga. Karthik analysed and reviewed the problem at every visit and adapted treatment according to feedback. The result is that I am pain free and able to progress without problems. Many thanks."

Jean H

"I would like to thank the team at Ealing Physio for their professionalism and kindness that I received while I was a patient. Christina Carlsen helped me walk again without pain in just over a month, and also treated other parts of my body that were associated with my hip/back problem. I confidently can say Christina is the only physio that has been able to manipulate my neck without it hurting me while she was doing it. I would recommend Ealing Physio to anyone in need of physiotherapy."

Amanda K.

"I am writing in praise of Christina Carlsen as she has once again fixed my bad back.

Since the morning of 21st September I have been suffering with a very painful lower back on the left hand side, which completely immobilised my body - I couldn't sit down, walk or stand-up straight and I couldn't take time off work, either. There was no comfortable position to ease the continuous pain in the lower area of my back. I had to take pain killers and go to work with a bent back and in agony.

While in pain and half bent, twice I saw the emergency osteopath in the city, which really didn't help at all, then I went to see my GP, but she too couldn't help and suggested visiting an osteopath. Then I remembered Christina Carlsen from 14 years ago, I Googled her name and found her at Ealing Physio.

I saw Christina last week, when she treated my lower back as well as the neck and and I noticed that I was well again after the first visit, I was standing-up, walking and sitting down with a straight back and no pain. Unlike osteopaths (whom I have visited) Christiana asks a lot more questions and examines a lot more of your body movement, before she applies any bone manipulation.

I am delighted to be able to sit at my desk (comfortably) and write in praise of Christina's treatment of my bad back - she worked her magic when everybody else had failed. I had always recommended her to everyone I know in the past and will never hesitate to recommend her to my friends, family and colleagues as she is really an expert in spine, back and neck, lower back, upper back, neck and everything to do with treating and fixing painful backs and maintaining a healthy posture to avoid future back injuries.

I would like to thank Christina again for her wonderful work and excellent treatment of my condition."

"I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your sympathetic and outstanding professionalism in the provision of the appropriate treatment of my right shoulder, arm and hand, together with your suggestion to my GP of the kind of medication which could speed up the treatment. Thanks for your help."

"Prior to seeing you I had been to acupuncture, a chiropractor and a hand surgeon. Only you correctly diagnosed my repetitive strain injury in the arm due to guitar playing."

Jamie Page Croft

"Thanks very much for working a miracle on me. I finished the Great North Run in 1hr and 54 minutes. Two weeks earlier I could not run at all."

James Hayes

"I feel I must write to let you know how pleased I am with the treatment you gave me for my recent attack of sciatica caused by a slipped disc. The first session enabled me to walk without a stick and the final three treatments enabled me to walk completely free of pain once more."

Clive Patridge

"Initially I was unable to comb my hair due to muscle and neck damage. After two treatments I was able to invoice for 16 hours of work - this surely must be the most cost effective medicine I have known. I am a 69 year old Corgi gas engineer. At my age it takes something really outstanding to impress me! You and your practice have done just that."

John Haselup

"I couldn't have done the marathon without you. My finishing time was just over 5 hours, not bad at my age!"

Ada Elliot

"A big thank you for your help in getting me through my training... I did the London Marathon in 3 hours 22 minutes and 16 seconds. I was number 2808 in 30,000 runners. As a novice runner this success was due in no small measure to you."

Mike Johnston

"I received treatment from Karthik last October for a nasty pain across my hip and groin area which made sitting and walking unbearable. Although it wasn't an easy point to treat and the diagnosis wasn't straightforward, Karthik's knowledge of human physiology as well as his excellent skills as a therapist, reassured me immediately and I felt I landed in 'good capable hands' from the start. This was, in fact, the case as in just five sessions the pain disappeared and I was able to move and sit comfortably again. Karthik was also able to always answer my questions and showed me useful exercises to do to prevent this from happening again. I would certainly recommend Karthik to my friends and family and I would return to seek his help in the future should I need to. Many thanks Karthik."

Zara S

"I came to Ealing Physio practice with pain in the lower back - not an unusual condition. However, pain is a very personal affair, and I came to the point, when all possible known remedies had been tried, all friends and relatives had shared all possible knowledge on the account and, of course, - internet! Sadly, none of this worked. So, I made an appointment in Ealing Physio with Carl Cachia after thorough research of many different similar practices in the area. Carl proved to be a highly professional specialist. He immediately understood the problem, chose the right type of treatment - combination of spinal-manipulations with acupuncture, reflexology, exercises,- not overwhelming, but step by step. And it worked!

I'd like to express my gratitude to Carl, who understands not just how the body works, but uses all accumulated knowledge of traditional, western and eastern medicine, his expertise - to treat his patients. He is also a bright, warm person. And everybody in the practice is very friendly, helpful, which is definitely a first step of ones road to good health."
