Couldn’t recommend Physio Athletic enough! Josh and Ioannis are both brilliant - friendly, welcoming, and they genuinely care about getting you back to your best. They always take the time to listen, explain everything, and make sure you understand the plan.
Josh has been amazing helping me recover from a sprained ankle and getting me ready for my gym race. Every session has been positive, and I’ve noticed a massive improvement in my strength and confidence thanks to his support.
Really grateful for everything they’ve done. If you need a physio who genuinely cares and knows what they’re doing, this is the place to go!

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’ve been seeing Gaby weekly for around 9 months and have been very happy with her treatments. Her sessions have really helped with my posture and overall comfort, especially after spending long hours at a desk.
Gaby is professional, friendly and very attentive, and always creates a calm and relaxing environment. She’s also very personable and makes every session feel comfortable and enjoyable. My partner has recently started seeing her as well, and we’re both very happy with her. Highly recommend Gaby!

Gaby is a highly skilled sports massage specialist. She has helped a lot with my previous injuries resulting in faster recovery time and better performance during workout. I've also learnt a lot about my muscles which helps me to maintain them better. Highly recommend!

I've been training with Tom for almost a year now, and he's gotten me closer to my goals than I've ever been in my life. Tom is supportive, genuinely listens and cares about your progress, knows when to push you and when to adapt things to suit you, accomodating individual needs. He doesn't just tell you what to do, but helps you understand why, which helps in feeling more independent and confident. No two sessions feel exactly the same, and he puts real thought into helping you become the strongest version of yourself, whilst having a great time doing it. Tom's communication keeps you accountable and his wealth of knowledge and tips keep you consistently on track. I'm now the strongest I've ever been, and I've achieved things I never thought I could, from hitting numerous PBs, ticking off accomplishments, to taking part in Gymrace and completing it in a time I'm really proud of. Looking back, the progress has been incredible. A year ago, some of these goals felt completely out of reach and now I'm wondering what else I can achieve. Tom has helped me build not just physical strength, but trust and confidence in what I am capable of too. He makes training challenging but fun and enjoyable, and I always look forward to the next session and seeing what else we can achieve together.
Testimonials

” I work in the Health & Fitness sector and Josh was working as a Physio out of the gym I worked in at the time. I have struggled with shoulder and back injuries over the years and I went to see Josh and he helped improve this massively. Over the years I returned to Josh as my go-to physio and a friend then recommended him as a PT as I was struggling to get results. I would highly recommend Josh for any of your health and fitness needs.”
Dominic
“I have always been into fitness, however I had put on a fair bit of weight which I was unable to shake. I initially began working with Josh to kick start my training on a 3 month transformation program. After seeing some great results in that time frame I decided to continue and have now been working out with him for nearly 18 months. I’ve lost 10 kg, over 10% body fat, and hitting new PBs.
Adriana
“I used to be a stiff lady who did not move an inch in her life, I had no structure in my diet and very little motivation to exercise. Josh worked so hard to keep me motivated and now I’m in love with the routine. Since working with Josh I have lost a total of 22kg and it has changed my life. Thank you Josh for helping me achieve such a great transformation.”
