The private physiotherapy and pilates service at University Hospital Lewisham offers you a dedicated assessment, advice, treatment and rehabilitation service for a wide range of injuries and conditions.

Whether your condition is old or new, you are preparing for a sporting event, or would like to improve your day to day mobility, we can help. Our private patients’ service aims to meet the needs of our local community with an emphasis on fitness and keeping active.

Any person who has a condition that they think may benefit from physiotherapy can self-refer to our private patients' service.  If you are unsure we will gladly discuss this with you over the phone and advise you if we think you need a full assessment.

We also receive referrals from GPs, consultants and most major insurance companies.
