I ruptured my ACL and tore my meniscus in a ski accident in December 2024. When I first came to Josh in January 2025, I was limping, struggling to walk properly, and couldn’t fully straighten my leg. I spent some time doing prehab with Josh before my surgery, and the results were incredible. Not only did I regain strength and function, but I actually became stronger than I was before my injury. I hit my PB in almost all of my gym exercises and felt fitter than ever going into surgery. I had my ACL reconstruction surgery in July 2025, and my rehab since then has been incredibly smooth. Josh is both highly professional and friendly. He always listens carefully whenever I mention pain or discomfort and adapts my programme to target the right muscles, which has consistently helped reduce my symptoms and keep me progressing. One thing that really surprised me was how much I enjoyed the process. I always have fun during my physio sessions, and before my injury I honestly saw working out as a chore. Josh completely changed my mindset towards exercise. I now genuinely enjoy training, look forward to going to the gym, and love seeing the changes in my strength, fitness, and overall physique. My original goal was simply to get back to normal and be able to play sports again, including skiing. Instead, I’ve come back stronger than ever and am now preparing to compete in a Hyrox event—something I would never have imagined before meeting Josh. I can’t thank Josh enough for everything he’s done. Not only has he helped me recover successfully from a major injury and surgery, but he’s helped me become the strongest and fittest I’ve ever been. I would highly recommend him to anyone recovering from an injury or looking to improve their performance!

Physio Athletic is the clinic to choose if you want a one-stop shop for physiotherapy, rehabilitation, strength training and hands-on treatment. I have worked with my physiotherapist, Ioannis, for the past three months, since shortly after arriving in London from Australia in May 2026. My goals were to continue rehabilitating my knee and rebuild strength and confidence throughout my body so I could exercise again without fear of reinjury. My rehabilitation was made more complex by a degenerated disc at L5-S1 and bursitis in both shoulders. Ioannis adapted my program to my functional needs. As a teacher, I regularly walk 13,000-15,000 steps a day carrying a heavy backpack and constantly use stairs at schools and on London's public transport. My rehabilitation therefore needed to prepare me not only for exercise, but also for everyday life. Before working with Ioannis, I had lost significant fitness and strength. My progress was repeatedly disrupted by a complex right knee injury involving a torn meniscus, MCL inflammation, ACL degeneration and ongoing swelling. I often aggravated it during ordinary activities. I chose Ioannis because he combines physiotherapy treatment with carefully supervised rehabilitation and strength training in a safe clinical environment. He has been able to assess my injuries, provide treatment, design and supervise my program, and progressively rebuild my strength without my needing to coordinate between several practitioners. My treatment has included acupuncture, sports massage, compression and ice therapy, and he always explains the reasoning behind his approach. Ioannis is knowledgeable, attentive and encouraging while still challenging me appropriately. He adapts each session to how my body is responding and clearly explains every exercise. Over three months, I have become considerably stronger and more confident. I have improved the strength around my right knee and my range of motion, and I can now complete exercises and lift weights that I was previously too hesitant to attempt. He also helped me find a much better knee brace after I explained that I had given up on braces and relied on kinesiology tape. This small change has significantly improved my quality of life by giving me reliable support without needing to re-strap my knee every week. Ioannis also has a background in competitive swimming and triathlon. He enthusiastically helped me refine my swimming technique, particularly my tumble turns, which was a wonderful bonus because swimming is my form of moving meditation. I am extremely grateful for the progress I have made and highly recommend Ioannis to anyone seeking thorough, individualised rehabilitation and a safe, supported return to exercise. I plan to continue working with him online when I return to Australia.

I am beyond grateful to Ioannis and Josh for all the excellent care I have received in relation to my back injury. Before starting physio, I genuinely thought that it was purely about healing the injury and removing the physical pain, but in reality, it is truly so much more! Ioannis has not only helped me recover physically, but supported my journey into re-entering the gym and taught me ways to continue to be physically active again in a safe way. As someone who has only started lifting weights in the past year, I was really nervous about going back to the very thing that I injured myself doing. However, Ioannis gave me the confidence to not only return but I am doing so even stronger than I was prior to my injury. And although I would never actively wish to be injured and requiring physiotherapy again, I know that I have the very best people to call on should that ever happen again!

I cannot recommend Josh at Physio Athletic highly enough. Before coming here, I was dealing with constant, severe physical discomfort that was drastically limiting my daily life and honestly taking a major toll on my overall well-being and peace of mind. I had already seen multiple different professionals, but nothing seemed to provide any lasting relief, and I was feeling incredibly discouraged. Physio Athletic truly felt like my last shot at getting things turned around. From my very first session, Josh completely changed the game. What sets him apart is his comprehensive approach; he didn't just look at the surface-level symptoms. Instead, he took the time to figure out exactly what was going on and designed a highly customized, targeted movement and strengthening plan focused on fixing the actual root cause of the issue. The results have been incredible. Since working with him, my daily comfort levels have improved significantly, and those old, frustrating setbacks have completely minimized. I am finally able to sit and get through long periods of the day completely uninterrupted by discomfort—something that used to be absolutely impossible for me.

Ioannis has been incredible in my recovery journey after another shoulder dislocation. His extensive knowledge and guidance has made a significant difference. He has helped strengthen my shoulder, eased the pain and helped with my confidence. His physio plan, filled with effective exercises and plenty of encouragement, has been amazing. I recommend him to anyone in need of physiotherapy.
