Karen Slaviero Physiotherapy

I have been seeing Karen for many years. I have fibromyalgia and before Karen I thought I may never be able to get it under control enough to function. However Karen’s extraordinary expertise and skill means that I have been able to do everything I have ever wanted. Karen genuinely cares about her patients, always going out of her way to help and make herself available whenever they need her. Her ability to get to solutions for seemingly intractable pain problems is magical. I could not actually function or live the busy life that I do without her. I am currently recovering from Covid and she has been able to treat and cure many of the longer term symptoms that I thought would take more time to clear up. Go to see her if you need help - she will change your life for the better!

I called Karen when I woke up one morning with a pulled back, in agony, after sleeping funnily. Her secretary responded straightaway, and despite being fully booked (she is always busy which is a great sign too!) Karen kindly came to see me after a long day at work, in the evening.

Karen's style is no-nonsense and forthright, whilst being reassuring. She is clearly very experienced, and you feel in safe hands, as she explains what she is doing throughout.

I took all of her advice and am happy to say that two days later (as she predicted) the pain was gone. Would 100% recommend her.

Karen is a truly incredible physiotherapist. She has an amazing ability to spot a problem and get to the root of it quickly and accurately. She uses a wide variety of treatment methods and I honestly don't know where I would be without her invaluable help. I can't praise her highly enough. She is one in a million and I am lucky to have her to treat me.

Karen is just amazing! After meeting several practitioners with no results and going through an MRI, Karen's knowledge and agnostic analysis, allowed her to find the different sources of the problems and work on them in depth. Karen takes the time for her patients and wants to be sure to help them. She has been able to treat: neck pain, tinnitus, tense knees, tense muscles. After many years of searching for the perfect physio, I can now only recommend Karen!

I’ve seen Karen for many years on and off. She’s fantastic at what she does and I always get back to normal really quickly. And as an added bonus, I really enjoy the chat too!

Karen is quite simply in a different league to most physios. I've lost count of the money I've spent on treatments that have had little to no effect, but with Karen the results are undeniable. She doesn't just treat the symptoms you've presented with, but rather looks at your whole body, often diagnosing the problem in a very different place to where the pain is felt.

The first time I visited Karen, I'd injured my shoulder while exercising, and had given up trying to get it resolved. I wasn't able to do my daily yoga and it was painful whenever I moved it. After the third visit to Karen, the problem disappeared completely, never to return.

I'm currently seeing her for another exercise-related injury, this time to my knee. After two sessions the pain is starting to ease, and I love that she traced the problem to my hips, which I was horrified to observe in the mirror - one side was much higher than the other by way of compensating for the injury. Using acupuncture and deep tissue massage, the pain is easing and my hips look more aligned.

Karen is also treating my 24-year-old son for chronic arm pain, slowly allowing him to use his computer without pain again for the first time in over a year. I can't thank Karen enough for this.

Karen is simply brilliant. Went to her for post-natal physio and she successfully fixed me. She also discovered the reasons I was experiencing unrelated aches and pains and showed me exercises to do at home to cure them. She talks through everything she does which made me feel relaxed and like I was in safe hands. She is excellent at her job!

Karen has an incredible ability to work out what needs fixing, without me even needing to say much. Every time I've seen her, she has made me better, whether it was my back, my hip, my shoulder. In my opinion, you simply won't find a better physiotherapist, so save yourself the time searching and just go and see Karen.
