Physiotherapy
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a research-based healthcare profession that aims to restore your movement and functional ability. It’s an independent profession where practitioners make their own treatment decisions and clinical judgements. At APPI, we integrate Physio assessment, manual treatment and rehabilitation with our unique APPI Pilates programme of posture and movement exercises. Physio with us is a fluid experience which can flow between the Physio treatment room and our specialised Pilates studios for movement-based therapy.
Right from making the initial assessment appointment, the staff have been friendly, caring and very supportive. They have a genuine concern for my wellbeing and strive to help.
Your first consultation
You’ll start with a 1 to 1 assessment with one of our Physios, either online or in one of our London clinic rooms. They may look at your posture, range of movement or muscle strength. There may be some element of undressing, so we encourage you to wear comfy clothing – such as a vest top and shorts. We may also carry out a real-time ultrasound or a treadmill run analysis.
Accreditations
All our Physiotherapists are HCPC and CSP registered. You can also rest assured that we work closely with our referring medical partners to create a joint approach to your recovery.

I couldn’t recommend APPI more highly for Physiotherapy. Glenn is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and thorough. He has treated my husband following a slipped disc and my son, who was doing elite level sport, for a groin injury. In both instances he was excellent, helping them return to full function safely and quickly.
