BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA

Lucy Macdonald has restored my faith in online physiotherapy after treatment with other physios that left my painful (sciatic nerve related) morning hobbles unchanged for months.

I was blown away by the depth of knowledge behind treatments and I’m now back to long runs without pain that I never imagined would be possible without intervention. This is the most I’ve been reassured during treatment and held to account for my exercise. Thanks for restoring a massive part of my life.

HIP PAIN TENNIS

I was referred to Lucy after suffering from tendinitis in my hip for more than two years and having previously seen multiple Physio’s and doctors with little success.

Lucy had a really refreshing approach to treatment focusing on my biomechanics and getting to the cause of the problem. Within a matter of weeks I was noticing improvements and was soon able to return to running and playing sports.

Lucy was amazing, is really knowledgable and has helped me so much. 5* would not hesitate to recommend!

RUNNER KNEE PAIN

I was told that I should never run again due to knee pain. I sought a second opinion and the consultant said this was nonsense and referred me to Lucy who he described as the best bio-mechanical physio he had ever come across.

Within 10 minutes Lucy noticed something that all the physios and chiropractors I had seen previously had all missed. Lucy gave me simple but effective exercises and within a few sessions I was running again. I have been running pain free for over 6  months and it is all down to her skill and expertise.

Lucy is an extremely experienced and talented physiotherapist. The vast majority of physio’s do not have her capabilities when it comes to healing complex patients back to full recovery.

Lucy is one of the few physio’s with the required skills to see very complex cases who need really specialist physio input. Often these patients present with a mixed picture which, will typically go on to make a full recovery in Lucy’s hands, without the need for surgery or ’round the houses’ referrals to other therapists.

Every single patient I have sent to Lucy has been made better by her and all have nothing but the highest praise for her skills.

I carry out many specialist surgical procedures which require complex and skilled physiotherapy in order for patients to make full recovery. Not many therapists are sufficiently experienced or have the skills to treat such patients and we rely heavily upon the support of our colleagues to take patient through this. Without this, surgical intervention is almost redundant. We know that we can rely on Lucy for her skill and attention to detail and all the patients do very well in her hands. As a talented physiotherapist we very strongly feel that Lucy is part of our team.

Patients do very well in her care and greatly appreciate knowing that they are in expert hands. Sending patients to lesser talented therapists means that their rehab nearly always doesn’t go smoothly and sometimes the outcome is poor.

TENNIS PLAYER

I can’t recommend Lucy highly enough and I hope this testimonial will save you the bother of hunting around for a decent physio… if you’ve come this far, then you’ve found one.

I’ve been working with Lucy for around 5months and in that time she’s performed miracles on my shoulder. I had a shoulder op a year ago and should have fully recovered 3-4months later. However, after 7 months of physio (not with Lucy) I wasn’t showing any decent signs of recovery, so I took the recommendation of a friend and moved over to working with Lucy – a decision I wished I had taken 7 months sooner.

Since then, Lucy has taken methodical, planned out approach to building my shoulder up again, breaking down scar tissue and re-building the bio mechanics of my shoulder. The most important part for me is that Lucy listened to what I wanted. She understood that I had the shoulder op in order to be able to play tennis to a high standard once again. And therefore understood that just rebuilding my shoulder so i could do ‘most things’ wasn’t good enough – I wanted to be able to serve, at speed, once again.

She also got the measure of me pretty quickly and ensured that all my exercises were built around tennis movements – to ensure I stayed motivated and committed to my part of the bargain. From day one, Lucy has given me the utmost confidence in her ability to ‘fix’ my shoulder and I’m delighted to say that she has! She’s a lovely bubbly, fun person to work with, but scratch the surface and you’ll find the inner-geek that makes her so passionate about what she does and such an expert in her field.

If you have an injury like I had that is preventing you from doing a sport you’re passionnate about, don’t risk delaying your recovery with someone else. I’d highly recommend Lucy.

I have known and worked with Lucy for several years now. It is clear that she is a physio at the very top of her game. It is always a pleasure to treat patients along side her. She is also extremely approachable and friendly and the patients love her.

I have known Lucy and her clinic for over seven years and I am happy to say that she is one of the most outstanding muscluloskeletal physiotherapists in London.
