Sports Rehab North London
Whether you are training for your next race, getting back onto the tennis or padel court, playing weekend football or simply trying to return to the sport you love, an injury can be very frustrating. At Karen Slaviero Physiotherapy, we provide expert sports rehab in North London designed to help you recover properly, rebuild confidence in your movement and reduce the risk of the same problem returning.
We are a welcoming and friendly clinic with some of the best physiotherapists in London. We work with people of different ages, abilities and activity levels, from recreational runners and gym-goers to experienced athletes. Our approach goes beyond simply treating the painful area. We look at how your whole body moves, identify factors that may be contributing to your injury and create a personalised rehabilitation programme focused on helping you return to activity safely.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation Tailored to You
No two sporting injuries are exactly the same. Even when two people have pain in the same area, the underlying causes may be very different. Your sport, training habits, movement patterns, previous injuries, strength and mobility can all influence how your body responds to physical activity.
Our sports physiotherapy and rehabilitation sessions therefore begin with a detailed assessment. We take the time to understand what happened, what movements aggravate your symptoms and what you want to achieve from treatment. Your goal might be returning to competitive sport, completing a running event, getting back to your weekly tennis match or simply exercising without worrying about pain.
From there, we develop a treatment and exercise plan specifically for you. As your symptoms improve, your rehabilitation can progress from restoring comfortable everyday movement to rebuilding strength, control, balance, power and sport-specific movement.
Physiotherapy for Sporting Injuries in North London
We treat a wide range of sporting injuries, including problems caused by sudden trauma as well as overuse injuries that gradually develop through repetitive training.
Running injuries are particularly common and can affect the knees, ankles, feet, hips and lower back. Rather than looking only at where it hurts, our physiotherapists can assess your movement and identify areas of weakness, stiffness or imbalance that may be contributing to the problem. This allows your running injury rehabilitation to address both your current symptoms and the demands you will place on your body when you return to training.
We also regularly help people experiencing tennis injuries, including shoulder, elbow, wrist, back, hip, knee and lower-limb problems. Tennis places considerable demands on the body through repeated rotation, sudden changes of direction, acceleration and deceleration. An effective rehabilitation programme therefore needs to prepare you for those movements rather than simply helping the painful area feel better at rest.
Our sports rehab can also support recovery from injuries associated with football, cycling, gym training and many other recreational and competitive activities.
A Combination of Traditional and Modern Physiotherapy Techniques
At Karen Slaviero Physiotherapy, we offer a wide range of traditional and modern physiotherapy services to help restore movement and function. Treatment is always selected according to your individual assessment rather than following a one-size-fits-all programme.
We use a variety of physiotherapy techniques throughout our sessions. These may include Functional Applied Science, Douglas Heel's Be Activated, Bobath, and more traditional physiotherapy approaches such as Mulligans, Maitland and Myofascial Release.
Where appropriate, physiotherapy techniques may also be combined with alternative treatments such as acupuncture. An important part of sports rehabilitation is your exercise programme, so we provide comprehensive exercises designed around your condition, current ability and sporting goals. These exercises can be progressed as your movement, strength and confidence improve.

Our clinics are conveniently located at multiple locations across North and North West London, including Hampstead, Bounds Green, East Finchley and Alexandra Palace. This makes it easier to access professional physiotherapy and sports rehabilitation close to home, work or your regular training location.

We bring everything necessary for your appointment, including the treatment bed, and can set everything up indoors in just a few minutes.
