ACL injury physiotherapy and rehabilitation in Hampstead, London

A structured path from injury or surgery back to full strength, assessment-led, progressive and built around your sport and your life.

Our approach

How we treat ACL injuries

Our philosophy is built on partnership. We don't treat an ACL injury as an isolated mechanical problem - we look at the whole person, your movement patterns, your lifestyle, and your history.

Every treatment plan is evidence-based and built specifically around you. We empower through knowledge, hands-on therapy, movement practice and lived experience - so you can take ownership of your health long after the treatment ends.

Hands-on physiotherapy

Manual therapy, soft tissue work and joint mobilisation. The foundation of how we treat - addressing pain, easing tension and restoring movement

Kinvent technology, where clinically appropriate

Pain is subjective. How your body actually moves and where it's compensating - that's measurable. When relevant, Kinvent gives us objective data on strength, balance and range of motion, so progress isn't just something you “feel.”

Movement rehabilitation

Targeted exercise and movement coaching to strengthen the structures that support your spine and prevent back pain returning. Where it serves you, we draw on the wider SF Studios team - coaching, massage, strength work.

Education and self-management

We share what we find. We share the reasoning. You leave each session understanding more about your body, not less - equipped to manage and prevent future episodes on your own terms.

What to expect

How it works

Four principles that shape every session - whether you're recovering from surgery, managing chronic back pain, or returning to sport.

  1. Step 1

    Initial consultation

    A 60-minute first consultation. We'll discuss your history, your symptoms, and what you want to be able to do again. Hands-on assessment plus, where clinically relevant, Kinvent technology to give us objective data.

  2. Step 2

    Your treatment plan

    A personalised plan built around your back, your life, and your goals. Combining hands-on therapy, movement rehabilitation and, where it serves you, coaching, massage or strength work from the wider SF Studios team.

  3. Step 3

    Recovery & progress

    Follow-up sessions guided by measurable progress. We share the data, we share the reasoning. You'll leave with a clear understanding of your body and the tools to take care of it long after treatment ends.

FAQ's

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist for acl injury rehabilitation?

No. You can book directly with a private physiotherapist, no referral needed. Just book an initial consultation through our website or by phone.

How many sessions will I need?

Most acute issues respond within 3–6 sessions. Chronic or complex cases may require more. After your initial consultation, your physiotherapist will give you a realistic treatment plan with an expected timeline, no surprises, no open-ended treatment.

Is physiotherapy covered by insurance?

Many private health insurance providers (Bupa, AXA, Vitality, Cigna and others) cover physiotherapy. Check your policy or contact your insurer directly. We can provide invoices and clinical notes to support your claim.

What's the difference between Tamas and Suz?

Both are HCPC-registered. Tamas (Senior) provides expert-led, hands-on assessment and treatment for sports injuries, back pain and post-surgical rehab. Suz (Director, founder) provides Director-level clinical care for complex cases that benefit from strategic rehabilitation across her wider expertise in coaching and movement. Not sure which is right? Get in touch, we'll help you decide.

What should I bring to my first consultation?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Bring any relevant MRI or X-ray results and a list of current medication if you have one. None of this is essential, but it helps your physiotherapist build a fuller picture from the outset.
