APPI Physiotherapy and Pilates Wimbledon

Having physio with Sam at APPI after tearing my ACL and meniscus playing football. Was worried I would need surgery to get back playing again, but Sam has done incredible work to get me back playing again. He is a fantastic physio with such a range of knowledge and he keeps all the sessions fun and engaging. It is such a friendly atmosphere at APPI due to all the staff and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for physiotherapy.

Cristina is an excellent and knowledgeable sports masseuse - so much more than an ordinary spa massage. She is happy to work on specific body areas which need attention or an all over MOT. Cristina is careful to assess posture and issues and always instinctively knows which bits are hurting and how best to treat me to balance my body and get things back functioning properly. Great for injury rehab or a general maintenance massage.

Nothing but compliments for the team at APPI Wimbledon. I injured myself training for the marathon and met with Sam to agree a rehabitilation programme. I have been genuinely impressed with the quality of the advice and professionalism shown by Sam and his colleagues and am pleased to say that when race day came around I ran pain free! When I recover (...) I plan to see Sam again for ongoing running coaching and preventative physio. Excellent all round!

I have regular massages with Cristina at APPI Wimbledon as she is one of the very best massage therapists I have experienced. I like firm massages and she excels at these. She has extensive knowledge of the musculoskeletal system and so is brilliant at dealing with injuries. Above all Cristina is a lovely kind person who goes the extra mile for her patients. I recommend her highly.

Sam’s an extremely knowledgeable physio who understood the root of my back problem (deteriorated discs in the lower spine). He has worked with me to develop a programme that has built strength and reduced back pain - allowing me to get on with my every day life. You can have absolute trust and confidence in Sam and having physio with him is a pleasure. Would highly recommend.

After knee surgery #12 Sam Wells at APPI Clinic helped me recover and get back to normal everyday activities in a relatively short time. Sam developed a solid plan gradually building a foundation of overall strength in the legs in order to support my knee as it also recovered and strengthened. Sam is very knowledgeable, he provided exercises that challenged me and set weekly goals that were specific to my everyday life and activity level. Sam provided weekly workouts that I could do at home with easy to follow pictures and videos to refer to. The staff at APPI were all welcoming, helpful and easy to work with regarding scheduling, billing. As an added bonus APPI Clinic provides more than physio, one can easily transition to a range of exercise classes in order to continue strength building in a safe and supervised manner.

A huge thank you to Mitchell Stokes, Physio at APPI Wimbledon! Your fun, patient and professional approach has been highly motivating to an initially reluctant young teen who had been struggling with knee pain for a while. Your input very quickly made such a difference and it’s just great to see my son free of pain and active again.

I can’t recommend Mitchell highly enough!

I started physiotherapy with Lucy Metcalfe in October 2022. As an aerialist recovering from an injury, I was looking for someone to give me a precise exercise programme and to teach me to use my body intelligently. Lucy has been very patient and sensitive to my needs, responding to whatever was going on in a given week. The physical benefits of her approach are beyond any of my expectations. I have new-found freedom in and ownership of my body. I leave our sessions feeling refreshed, relaxed, encouraged, and frankly, powerful, ready to take on challenges and hopeful that I can achieve the goals that seem to keep moving further and further into the future.
