That understanding of movement, body awareness and how people connect with their bodies helps empower her patients.

The combination of clinical physio and movement expertise makes her a brilliant person to have in the team.

Tooting's Instant Physio use a data driven strategy to boost patient recovery and progress throughout their treatment to ensure optimal results. Instant Physio owner Ed tells us more:

"Tracking progress is key to help patients stay motivated. Using our handheld dynamometer, we take the guesswork out of your treatment by measuring your strength to show real results.

“A woman we were treating for tennis elbow became very determined to improve her strength each session, which spurred her on to work really hard on her rehab programme, which contributed to her making faster progress.

"If you are feeling fed-up, stuck and frustrated with a pain or injury that you are experiencing, we can help."

Instant Physio, located at 261 Balham High Road, SW17 7BD, specialise in treating knee pain, back pain, neck & shoulder pain and sports injuries.

Pop in and see them, or visit their website at https://instantphysio.co.uk for more details. Open Monday-Thursday 8am-8pm and Friday Saturday 8am-3pm.

Tooting's Instant Physio have had their defibrillator refitted at Upper Tooting Road Methodist Church!

Instant Physio's Ed tells us, "After unfortunately having to remove it from its previous location due to technical issues, it took some time to find a new location – but thanks to Upper Tooting Methodist Church just across the road from us, it's now found a new home!

"We will continue to manage the defibrillator, which is now accessible to the community again. It was important to us that it be available to everyone, so we chose not to install it in our clinic, ensuring it can help anyone in need."

Just one month before his IRONMAN race, Paul came to Tooting’s Instant Physio with a knee injury that was affecting his training. With limited time, they focused on reducing his pain, optimising movement patterns, and getting him race-ready.

Four weeks later, Paul not only completed the full IRONMAN — he achieved a personal best!

Paul tells us, “After my first session I was really reassured – more than that, it was the confidence to keep going and not give up. I went and did the race and was very successful. I got a PB so I was delighted!

“One of my favourite treatments has been shockwave therapy, which delivers low energy pressure waves into damaged tissues to increase blood flow, stimulate repair and reduce pain. After one treatment it was a substantial improvement, after two it was amazing, and after three it was pretty much resolved!”

“I would 100% recommend Instant Physio, I just love it. It is like my personal physiotherapy service.”

Congratulations to local resident, Alex, who completed her first ever IRONMAN (with some help from Instant Physio on Balham High Road) at the Vichy France IRONMAN on 24th August! 🎉

Instant Physio's Ed tells us, "Three months before the race, she visited us with a recurring ankle injury that was affecting her training. She worked with Emily, one of our physios, to regain the confidence to trust her body again and move with what we call thoughtless, fearless movement. Alongside this, massage sessions helped boost her recovery after the harder training workouts."

Alex adds, “I’ve been working on rehabilitating a previous ankle injury which kept recurring, and the support I’ve had has been amazing. The programme was really effective and gave me real confidence in my training. The whole practice is very well organised, and everyone has been so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!”
