Trusted by our patients
Helping people move better and return to the activities they love is why we do what we do. Here's what our patients have to say.
I seemed to be haunted with injuries during training for some big events, but a few sessions with Leonie soon had me fixed and on that start line fit and ready. She genuinely cares about your recovery and your success in your events, and offers a first class, warm and friendly service. I highly recommend Accelerate Physiotherapy to anybody whether you’re struggling with an injury or just need a quality sports massage before/after an event…. it is money extremely well spent!

I used Accelerate Physiotherapy (Leonie) in my preparation for the London Marathon 2025. I had issues with calf, achilles and planta fascitis. Sessions there have helped me manage successfully the symptoms. I would thoroughly recommend them, friendly and top quality Physiotherapy
