Question 1

What treatments do you offer at SMARTPHYSIO?

Accepted Answer

SMARTPHYSIO offers a comprehensive range of evidence-based physiotherapy treatments delivered by Chartered Physiotherapists (MCSP, HCPC-registered) across four London clinics (Hampstead, Highgate, Bishopsgate, Soho), at home, in care homes and in offices anywhere in London. Treatments include general physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy, back pain treatment, elderly care, pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation, neuro physiotherapy, shockwave therapy, workplace health, women's health physiotherapy, strength and conditioning, and sleep physiotherapy.

A full overview of treatments offered:
General physiotherapy. Assessment and treatment for muscle, joint and nerve problems — the foundation of what SMARTPHYSIO does, covering hands-on therapy, exercise prescription, posture and movement work
Sports physiotherapy. Acute and overuse sports injuries, biomechanical assessment, return-to-play planning, and performance work for runners, gym-goers, racket-sport players, footballers, rugby players and other athletes
Back pain treatment. Acute and chronic lower back pain, sciatica, disc-related pain, postural strain, and post-surgical back pain — combining manual therapy, exercise and nerve mobilisation
Elderly care physiotherapy. Falls prevention, balance work, post-hospital recovery, strength and mobility for older adults, and home-environment review
Pre- and post-surgery rehabilitation. Prehab to prepare for surgery and structured rehab afterwards, covering hip and knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, spinal surgery, shoulder repair, foot and ankle, and other operations
Neuro physiotherapy. Stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, and other neurological conditions, with focus on gait, balance, strength and function
Shockwave therapy. For chronic tendinopathies (Achilles, plantar fascia, tennis elbow, patellar), calcific shoulder, and other stubborn musculoskeletal conditions where first-line treatment has not produced enough change
Workplace health. Ergonomic assessments, DSE reviews, individual and team physiotherapy at your office, and employee wellbeing programmes
Women's health physiotherapy. Pelvic floor work, pre- and postnatal physiotherapy, and other women's health conditions
Strength and conditioning. Physiotherapy-led S&C for injury prevention, performance, healthy ageing and rehabilitation, delivered for athletes and non-athletes alike
Sleep physiotherapy. Led by Sammy Margo MCSP, author of The Good Sleep Guide. Covers pain-related sleep disturbance, sleeping position, mattress and pillow review, and the pain-sleep loop

Within each treatment area, the toolkit typically includes manual therapy (joint mobilisation, soft tissue work), exercise prescription, neuromuscular training, gait and balance retraining, postural work, dry needling where appropriate, electrotherapy modalities including shockwave, ergonomic and lifestyle advice, and structured home exercise programmes. Treatment is always tailored to the individual and to evidence-based practice.

To book an initial assessment for any SMARTPHYSIO treatment, call 020 7435 4910 or use online booking for clinic appointments. Home, care home and office visits are booked by phone or the home visit enquiry form. The team will normally arrange a first appointment within 24 to 48 hours, in clinic or at home anywhere in London. No GP referral is needed and major UK insurers are recognised.

Question 2

What conditions do you treat at SMARTPHYSIO?

Accepted Answer

SMARTPHYSIO treats a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, post-surgical, sports and age-related conditions. The team covers everything from acute injuries (back pain, sports injuries, RSI) through chronic conditions (arthritis, chronic spinal pain, fibromyalgia, hypermobility) to neurological and respiratory conditions (Parkinson's, stroke, MS, chest conditions). Treatment is offered at four London clinics (Hampstead, Highgate, Bishopsgate, Soho), at home, in care homes and in offices anywhere in London.

Conditions regularly treated:
Aches and pains. General muscle, joint and nerve aches affecting one area or multiple areas of the body
Sports injuries. Acute injuries (ankle sprains, hamstring strains, ligament injuries, dislocations) and overuse injuries (runner's knee, ITB syndrome, shin splints, tennis elbow)
Parkinson's disease. Gait, balance, freezing episodes, cueing techniques, falls prevention, and support through all stages
Arthritis. Osteoarthritis (hip, knee, hand, spine), rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory arthritis, working alongside medical management
Strokes. Early rehabilitation, ongoing recovery, gait retraining and return-to-function support
Chest conditions. COPD, post-pneumonia recovery, post-COVID respiratory symptoms, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, and post-surgical airway clearance — for both adults and children
Sciatica. Nerve pain radiating from the lower back into the buttock and leg, with nerve mobilisation and graded loading
Nerve pain. Peripheral nerve compression, neuropathic pain and related conditions
Repetitive strain injury (RSI). Work-related upper-limb conditions affecting hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders and neck
Vertigo. Vestibular rehabilitation, including BPPV, and balance retraining
Headaches. Tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches (neck-related) and migraine-associated neck dysfunction
Chronic and acute spinal conditions. Lower back, mid-back and neck pain, disc-related conditions, spinal stenosis, post-spinal-surgery recovery
Hypermobility. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, hypermobility spectrum disorder, and joint-stabilisation work for related pain and instability
Pain management. Chronic pain conditions including persistent musculoskeletal pain, fibromyalgia and post-surgical pain syndromes

The team also commonly treats conditions linked to the broader treatment areas above, including post-operative recovery (hip and knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, spinal surgery, shoulder repair, foot and ankle surgery, thoracic and abdominal surgery), falls and balance problems in older adults, women's health conditions, sleep-related musculoskeletal problems, and workplace-related conditions (postural pain, DSE-related neck and shoulder pain, work-from-home musculoskeletal issues).

What unites everything SMARTPHYSIO treats is that the physiotherapist will assess your specific condition, confirm whether physiotherapy is the right primary treatment, and signpost you to your GP, a specialist or another service if it is not.

To book an initial assessment, call SMARTPHYSIO on 020 7435 4910 or use online booking for clinic appointments. Home, care home and office visits are booked by phone or the home visit enquiry form. The team can normally arrange a first appointment within 24 to 48 hours, in clinic or at home anywhere in London. No GP referral is needed and major UK insurers are recognised.

Question 3

Where exactly is the SMARTPHYSIO Hampstead clinic and how do I get there?

Accepted Answer

The SMARTPHYSIO Hampstead clinic is at 444 Finchley Road, London, NW2 2HY, at the junction of Finchley Road and Cricklewood Lane in the Childs Hill area. It sits between Golders Green tube (Northern Line) and Finchley Road tube (Jubilee and Metropolitan Lines), and is served by bus routes 13, 82, 328, 245 and 460.

Public Transport

The clinic is on the Finchley Road, which is the main A41 corridor running between Swiss Cottage and Golders Green. The closest tube stations are Golders Green (Northern Line, Edgware branch) and Finchley Road (Jubilee Line), both of which involve a walk or a short bus journey along the Finchley Road.

By bus, the 13, 82, 328, 245 and 460 all stop along the Finchley Road close to the clinic. The 13 and 82 are particularly useful for patients coming from central London.

Driving

The clinic is on the A41 Finchley Road and is reachable by the car from the North Circular (A406), the M1 (junction 1) and central London. The North Circular junction with the A41 is a short drive north of the clinic.

To book a clinic appointment at SMARTPHYSIO Hampstead, use online booking or call 020 7435 4910. The clinic is run by Sammy Margo MCSP, founder of SMARTPHYSIO, and offers the full range of SMARTPHYSIO services alongside home and care home visits across London.

Question 4

Is there parking near the Hampstead physiotherapy clinic?

Accepted Answer

Parking near the SMARTPHYSIO Hampstead clinic is by Pay and Display on the surrounding streets. There is no dedicated patient car park. Please check the local signage on the day for current zone, hours and tariff, and allow a few extra minutes to find a space, particularly during weekday peak hours.

The clinic is on Finchley Road, which is the A41 main road. The Finchley Road itself does not allow on-road parking in front of the clinic; you will need to use the residential side streets adjacent to the building.
Practical points:
Pay and Display rates and zone hours change periodically. The London Borough of Barnet (which covers this stretch of Finchley Road) publishes current parking information on its website
The Practice Manager at SMARTPHYSIO Hampstead is the best source of current local advice; if you need to confirm the nearest options before your appointment, call 020 7435 4910 and ask
Off-peak times (mid-morning, mid-afternoon, weekends) typically have more side-street availability
The clinic is well served by buses and tube, so if parking is likely to be a problem, public transport is a reliable alternative

If parking is a barrier — for example, because of mobility issues, time pressure, or because you find driving in central London stressful — SMARTPHYSIO offers home and office visits across all of Greater London. These can be a practical alternative if travelling to the clinic adds significant friction to your visit.

To check current parking advice for your appointment, call SMARTPHYSIO Hampstead on 020 7435 4910 before you set off. The team can confirm options and, if parking is genuinely difficult, can discuss whether a home visit would suit you better.

Question 5

Is the clinic wheelchair accessible?

Accepted Answer

The clinic is on the ground floor, which makes access straightforward for most patients. Larger wheelchairs may not be accommodated; if that applies to you, call ahead and the team can either suggest the best route in or arrange a home visit instead.

To book a clinic appointment at SMARTPHYSIO Hampstead, use online booking or call 020 7435 4910. The clinic is run by Sammy Margo MCSP, founder of SMARTPHYSIO, and offers the full range of SMARTPHYSIO services alongside home and care home visits across London.
