I reached out to Leon around the spring of 2018. I had been carrying a horrible injury on my Achilles heel which just wouldn't go away. I had countless physiotherapy with the NHS and even their version of shock-wave therapy ultimately I was pretty much fobbed off and told there's nothing else they can do it was a very bad time of my life.My symptoms persisted and although various procedures existed the doctor's never wanted to consider any of those. I decided to take everything into my own hands so looked to contact a private physiotherapist.I spoke to a few but it was only Leon that I decided to go for he seemed sincere and genuinely cared about The Troubles I have been through.He really went out of his way to help me along with timing in between work.The most important thing I have to say is that the treatment did work and i went from working 4 hour days to now being able to work a whole day. I'm a lot more functional and a lot better now and I'm walking pretty much pain free. I have improved a lot so much that I am keen to do another session. I used to suffer from spiking shooting pain. Now I occasionally get the odd niggle here and there but a milestone from where I used to be. I still do need to improve a bit more but I can't emphasize I am better just when you get better you want to be more better if you know what I mean!Leon was so kind when he saw the treatment working he called me back and gave me a completely free session to see me on my way.he is really good like that.However You must be patient as the results may take 3 or 4 months to really start showing after you finish your last session. Everyone's different that was the case with me Although i did also notice a difference sooner as wellIt is important to remember where you were at the time you saw him to where you are at the end. Because you may still have some symptoms but the idea is they're at least a lot less and that's the case with me. My injuries were really bad so of course if you' have milder symptoms or any sort of tendinitis considering how i improved it could totally eradicate it.Or likewise if you have more serious injury's it'll only be a positive. My advice would be to definitely try because it did work with meAnd I think you would not be in any better hands.Ill be returning again as i have learnt you can repeat the treatment in-between breaks for maximum results.

After injuring my shoulder a couple of years ago, I never really fully recovered. Nothing really worked till I met Leon who introduced to shockwave therapy. Leon was really helpful, positive and knowledgable. He promised me that I'd be mostly healed in 4 sessions. What blew me away was how quick and effective the results were in just those four sessions! I cannot recomend this enough! More...

Leon treated my broken ankle. Six months after the injury I am able to walk, cycle and even stay on a skateboard again. (Nothing extreme yet of cause . ) Just follow recommendations and give it time. Thank you very much for helping me start walking again! More...

Having experienced other physios with a recurring knee injury, and frankly, getting little or no improvement, I decided to give Physio Extra a try. AS soon as I entered the premises, I felt I was in a relaxing, comfortable environment. I immediately felt at ease, and that continued with my initial assessment with Nim. She conducted a thorough and professional assessment, and then proceeded to tell me what her thoughts were in relation to prognosis, and how best to move forward with treatment. She explained different options and their differing benefits. When we agreed on a course, she immediately instilled me with a confidence I simply have not had with other physios. Her calm, professional manner, added to her knowledge and experience means that I would not hesitate to recommend her or this practice to anyone. More...

Saw Nim for just two and a half hours over a few weeks and she completely rebooted me. After 20 years+ of back problems, I was resigned to medication and massage to alleviate the symptoms but she worked out the source of my problems and felt the best I have in decades. Highly recommended.

Dr Leon clearly knows what he is talking about. I had a problem with my knee that he handled very confidently and promptly. In 2 weeks thanks to the shock-wave therapy I was able to run again with no problem! All of this after 2 years of pain when I never spoken to anyone about! Never keep your pain, always speak with a professional like him! More...

I have being seeing Leon for the last year. Every session is hard work but fun and varies from week to week and in the summer working out on Ham Common which is great.
If you have any injuries or pain Leon is brilliant at helping with this or working round it.I have also used the nutritionist and sports massage
thapists who are also very good. Very highly recommended.

I've been to many physiotherapists in London and I can say that Leon and Vicki at Physio Extra really go above and beyond for their patients. They are both knowledgeable and experienced - and are really committed to ensuring the fastest possible recovery time. They are reasonably priced and they have one of the best shockwave machines in London - particularly good for chronic tendon issues. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. More...

Superb treatment and advice from Leon & the Physio Extra team.
They came highly recommended via a friend who had treatment for a shoulder injury.
I've been receiving shockwave therapy for an extremely painful and debilitating tendonitis problem in my wrist. On completion of the programmed treatment, I'm pain free and the loss of mobility has been restored.
My partner has also received treatment for a torn rib muscle. We're both extremely happy with the service and treatment received and highly recommend Physio Extra. Many thanks!!

Leon Almashan is an excellent personal trainer with none of the aggression that usually comes with the territory. He makes extensive use of his studio and nearby Ham Common and Richmond Park.

I am a professional dancer I have being doing west ends and big international tours. In January during a performance I torn my ligaments in my ankle so I saw the end of my career!
I meet Leon 2 days after my injury and now I am back dancing, training and running.. So personally I think Phisio Extra is been my life saver.. Leon was treating me and i realise and learned that he will always put clients first and treat them like number one!
His clinic is such a welcome place to spent nearly every day there and also his team are absolutely amazing!
Being an athlete I do found that lots of phisio are more about how much money they can get from you but for Leon is all about fixing you!
He truly love his job and he put so much passion and energy for bringing you back to normal!
I truly recommended Phisio Extra!
5 stars for sure!

A sharp constant pain in one side of my neck prompted me to make a visit to Physio Extra, After only a few treatments by Vicki, not only has the pain gone but I have more mobility and pain-free movement in my upper back than I’ve had in years. Vicki is very professional whilst also being friendly and chatty. She has given me lots of wonderful advice on posture and stretching, which help keep problems at bay.I like the fact that there is absolutely no pressure to commit to a series of treatments or to attend sessions any more frequently than I feel I need - something that cannot be said for some other forms of therapy I tried.Excellent! Highly recommended. More...

Excellent treatment and service!!!I had been suffering from debilitating problems with my back for several months. By profession, I am a martial arts instructor. The continuous pain and discomfort in my back was starting to drastically affect my performance and ability to teach. I had tried several treatments, including various forms of massage, alternative therapy and physiotherapy, all to no avail. I initially heard about PhysioExtra Practice through word of mouth. A good friend had made excellent progress following a complex ankle operation and recommended the practice.I was seen by Leon for my first session and was instantly made to feel at ease and very welcome. He gave me a thorough examination and was able to quickly pinpoint the root cause of the problems in my back. Following his prognosis, I was given a treatment plan and also various back exercises to commit to at home.After my very first session, my back felt better and has continued to improve with every subsequent treatment. Several weeks on, I am back to fighting fit and my physical condition has vastly improved.I can honestly say that the treatment I received was second to none and very affordable. I felt very well looked after and cannot praise the service I received enough; I highly recommend this practice!Nicolas Antoine. More...

Having met Leon the owner of Physio Extra about 3 years ago at Richmond Park Golf course where i work i immediately found him easy to talk to and a great understanding of the necessity of a flexible and strong body to achieve the maximum from my golf profession. In November 2013 Leon set out a specific golf program for me to get fit, flexible and lose some extra pounds that were hanging around in the wrong places... Almost a year on i have completely changed shape for the better, i am hitting the golf ball more solid, have more stamina to achieve better concentration for longer in my golf and the back and knee problems i had have virtually disappeared... On the whole i cannot recommend Leon and Physio Extra enough.... Thank you Leon for making me fitter, healthier and also feel better about myself too.. More...

I met Leon about 4 years ago when I had a tennis injury and was impressed at how quickly he got me back playing tennis without having to have endless physio appointments. He subsequently helped my daughter who was terminally ill and made himself available at any time night and day to help her. Not only did she find these sessions very helpful but she enjoyed his holistic approach and genuine interest in her as a person. I would recommend him highly. More...

I had used a Personal Trainer for some years, but after moving to Kingston I needed to find someone who was nearer home. Leon was recommended to me by a friend, and I decided to go along and give him a try. I'm happy to say I haven't looked back since. In the months I've been seeing Leon, my fitness has improved and having a trained physio as a Personal Trainer has been enormously helpful, particularly in helping me to get over a long-standing injury. Leon manages to get the right mix of authority as a trainer, with good humour, and he always has some new form of torture to try out on me to keep me motivated. More...

Leon. Thank you so much! You saved one of the most important days of our lives by putting yourself out to do emergency physio.
The day before our eleven year old daughter Nicole Turner traveled to the WUKF Karate Junior World championships in Szczecin in Poland, she had a nasty shoulder injury and you worked your magic touch both in the morning and at 11pm at night.
Nicole went on to became the first English girl under 21 to win gold in Kata at any of the five Junior world championships held to date. A Kata is a solo routine using a variety of karate techniques to fight a number of imaginary opponents. There were over 1300 competitors from 42 countries around the world competing, with a strong presence from all the big names like the USA and Russia.
Nicole won all of her rounds to be crowned female 12 and under World Champion. You can see her competing and the results of your efforts by visiting Your Tube and searching for Nicole Turner Karate
Thank you once again. You're a star!

I've done PT with Leon and had treatments with other members of the team, and highly recommend them.
They are a "boutique" studio: non corporate, local, friendly, but also highly knowledgeable and will go the extra mile for customers (as well as make you go the extra mile!
)
One of their USPs is that they combine physical training with physiotherapy. I think this is a great combination
