Pure Sports Medicine have helped me get back on my feet (literally!)  Earlier in the year I sustained a stress fracture injury, which then caused some further issues with my foot and ankle. I was in so much pain and simple tasks such as walking and climbing the stairs were a struggle.  From the moment I first stepped through the doors of the clinic, I’ve been nothing short of impressed. It’s now been almost 3 months since I started my rehab at Pure Sports, and I'd like to give a big shoutout to my physio Anthony La and my exercise physiologist/S&C coach Finn Kenny, who have both been nothing short of incredible throughout my journey so far. They listen to me, encourage me, and have made my rehab as fun and exciting as can be. Not to forget the receptionists, who are also very efficient and friendly. Whilst I still have a way to go, I'm pleased to say that since working with Finn and Anthony, I'm the happiest and strongest I’ve felt in a very long time!🎉 Finn has also designed me an exercise programme to help me to manage another condition I have. I'm already starting to see amazing results after just a few months, and I’m now even training for a 10K charity cycle, which is something I thought was beyond possible! I’m excited to see what progress I will continue to make over the coming months. 🚴  I would not hesitate to recommend Pure Sports Medicine - a truly 5 star experience. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Professional and efficient

Anika was so warm and friendly and put me at ease immediately. She diagnosed my shoulder issue rapidly and outlined treatment, prognosis and recovery.

I was referred to Dr Rhodri Phillip OBE by one of his colleagues, Maria Viner, a physiotherapist at the Chancery Lane branch. I would describe the entire consultation and follow-up service as outstanding in every respect. Dr Phillip was friendly, attentive, comprehensive in his examination and review of my detailed hospital test results (circa 100 blood tests, CT scan, X-ray and ECG) and very considered in his assessment of his preliminary diagnosis. I had not received a diagnosis from the hospital which I had spent a day attending for tests some months earlier, other than Proximal Myopathy, and a referral to a neurology clinic some 10 weeks into the future. Dr Phillip spent more than double the scheduled consultation time with me and provided clear and open verbal feedback throughout. He advised me of his preliminary diagnosis, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, and the proposed medication. He wished to discuss this with some colleagues and revert the next morning, which he did as promised and subsequently arranged for delivery of an e-prescription the same day which I was able to collect from a pharmacy at 7.30pm the same evening. Dr Phillip prepared within a few days a detailed clinical note which I was able to use to brief my GP. Dr Phillip requested feedback on my symptoms after one week and after a further 2 weeks. He responded very promptly and in an engaged and highly supportive manner to the emails which I sent to him. He continued to support my improvement via email for about 4- 5 weeks for which he was always prompt, clear and supportive, whereupon at my GP's request he provided a report to my GP practice to enable the reducing dose prescription to be continued under the NHS. Significantly, Dr Phillip also recommended during my visit that I retained a pre-scheduled consultation with a specialist consultant Neurologist. That proved very valuable as the Consultant Neurologist corroborated Dr Phillip's diagnosis and ruled out the need for any further neurological investigations. The prescription had a very fast positive impact and within 48-72 hours the pain and stiffness had substantially reduced. After 4 weeks, I am almost entirely free from any pain or stiffness and my movement and flexibility is back to normal. I have huge respect for the specialist skills, professionalism and dedication shown by Dr Rhodri Phillip, and have never experienced such a universally outstanding quality of service. Thank you once again.

A pleasant hospital to visit, clean and well resourced with efficient and helpful staff throughout.
