Physiotherapy Treatment
Physiotherapy clinics in Woodford, Chigwell, Gidea Park and East London
Background to Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy began originally as an extension of massage therapy in the United Kingdom. Physiotherapists used to work under the supervision of a surgeon in hospitals, but as the practice of physiotherapy developed it grew into its own separate profession, treating patients with injuries, illnesses or even after surgery. Physiotherapists not only provide massage but also offer ultrasound treatment, medical acupuncture and shockwave therapy, plus exercise routines and advice.
Expert Physiotherapy in London and Essex
Spine Plus provides physiotherapy from our modern, outer London clinics in Woodford and Chigwell. Both clinics are very near a tube station on the Central Line (Woodford and Grange Hill underground stations), and parking is available on site.
As our name suggests, we offer physiotherapy for injuries and conditions of the spine, plus the same expert hands-on treatment and advice for conditions affecting the rest of the body, everything from tension headaches to foot and ankle problems, as well as sports injuries such as tennis elbow and Achilles tendonitis.
Our Physiotherapy Team
Our physiotherapists have worked in prominent postgraduate positions in the NHS, in the private sector and for sports teams for many years. As well as treating acute pain and injury, our physios are trained to spot and treat injuries before they happen, which is why we have gained a reputation amongst many sportsmen and women who visit Spine Plus as part of their preparation before or after a sporting event or as part of an ongoing maintenance and injury prevention programme.

You will also receive clear advice on next steps, including exercises, activity modification and an individualised treatment plan.

Dr Bryn Walton
The team at Spine Plus have truly got my life back on track. After suffering for months with no idea where to go or what to do, I am now living a normal life again, something that I didn’t think was possible.
Jono Partridge
There’s no one else I go to keep me injury-free and at the top of my sport. It’s as though they have a sixth sense and know exactly where the cause of an injury is and what to do about it!
When you step foot into any of our clinics, I promise you three things:
01. Patients Come First
The most important part of everything we do, is you. No matter who you are, everyone is a priority in our clinics. We know you on a first-name basis and, you will never be seen as just a number or a name on our list.
02. Transparency
We have a transparent attitude to the service we provide; we are always open and honest with our advice. All the therapy teams are handpicked and trained by me. Our clinics are equipped with the latest therapy technologies from gold-standard brands. You’ll never see gimmicky products, machines or services in our clinics nor will we try and sell you bogus treatments that don’t work. If we don’t think something is worthwhile, we won’t advocate it or have it in our clinics.
03. We Never Stop Evolving
Our constant goal has always been and will continue to be to improve the experience for our patients, whether this involves expanding the services we offer or improving our skills and knowledge, we’re always adding benefits and services to serve our patients best.
Don’t take my word for it. These are my promises. Visit any of our clinics and see the team live up to them.
