Would recommend.Posted on Google Sophie GeorgeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had TMJ pain for years and have struggled to find treatments that work for me and someone knowledgable who can help me fix the issue and reduce the pain. Giovanni is incredibly knowledgable on TMJ which has been really reassuring. He is kind and I felt instantly comfortable with him. After only a few session I’ve seen improvement in symptoms and my pain levels. I’d recommend Giovanni to anyone !Posted on Google Mateusz RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Giovanni listened very carefully, carried out a thorough examination, and took the time to explain the possible causes of the problem in a clear and understandable way. Very professional, knowledgeable and reassuring throughout. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Gülce CingiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Giovanni is incredibly knowledgeable, skilled, and trustworthy. We’ve been working on my neck and advanced scoliosis, and his treatment and recommendations have always made a real difference. When I first saw him, I was in severe pain and could barely turn my neck. After just two sessions, my pain had reduced significantly and my range of movement improved so much. I highly recommend him!Posted on Google Juha JarvinenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Giovanni is true master of physiotherapy and relaxing deep tissue massage. Professional, knowledgeable and amazing personPosted on Google Gillian RodgersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best physiotherapy practice in London. I've worked with Giovanni for 2 years now and he has supported me throughout with sound and sensible advice on strength training, avoiding injury and the psychology of getting better during and after cancer treatment and an operation. I highly recommend. Thanks to Giovanni I managed to run a half marathon last year 😄Posted on Google Thomas PriceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Since working with Giovanni I have made an almost complete recovery from what looked like a very serious injury to my hamstring. He is very knowledgeable and great at explaining how the different muscles interact and affect each other. This helped me get a better understanding for how the different stretches and exercises he programmed would help me develop a stronger foundation for my hamstring as well as my lower back.Posted on Google Jacqueline McIntoshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Giovanni has been treating me over the last 12 months or so, firstly following my breast cancer which resulted in restricted movement in my arm and now post Rotator Cuff Tear surgery. He is professional, knowledgeable and empathetic in his approach. He always explains the exercises and treatment he carries out, helping me feel fully informed of my recovery journey at all times. His naturally friendly and approachable nature means that I never feel unable to raise questions or concerns if I have them. I’m aware that the RCT recovery will be a long, slow process but I feel completely supported by the physio and the exercises I am being taken through, and am confident that with patience and Giovanni’s help, I will achieve a good recovery.Posted on Google Nathan BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started seeing Giovanni after undergoing TMJ surgery and needing physiotherapy as part of my recovery. I specifically found him through his ACPTMD certification. I have been really impressed with the care I have received. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience, but what I particularly appreciate is his ability to explain things in a way that is both digestible and succinct. The body is complex, and he strikes a good balance between explaining the technical side of what is happening and focusing on what you actually need to know. He is also extremely respectful in his approach. He explains anything he is going to do beforehand and explicitly checks that I am happy for him to proceed. I have never felt something is being done to me without understanding what he is doing or why. There is also a real flexibility to his approach, with the focus being on what is going to achieve the best outcome for you rather than following a rigid process. His broader knowledge of the body means he takes a holistic view, which has only reinforced my trust in the care I am receiving. Most importantly, I’ve noticed a genuine improvement since starting treatment. The stiffness in my jaw has eased and I’m beginning to get back towards normal function, including being able to eat chewier foods without having to be quite so cautious about my jaw. Although I originally came specifically for TMJ physiotherapy, I also really value the range of treatments he offers, including massage and acupuncture. It is reassuring to know that if I sustain an injury or have another issue in the future, I already have someone I trust that I can go to. I have had a really positive experience and would happily recommend him, particularly to anyone looking for support with TMJ issues.
