I’ve been seeing James for a Sports massage to help with a running problem. He has been great, he has not only sorted my problem out and given me exercises to help improve but has helped me with a recent back problem to get me to the start line of an upcoming race. James is very friendly and incredibly knowledgeable and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

What is a Sports Massage?
Dealing with tight muscles, aches, and injuries that take a long time to heal can be a real obstacle. Managing this each day can become tedious, as one must find the time to set aside for tools like foam rolling, stretching and massage which are necessary for recovery and health. The long-term consequences of failing to receive adequate treatment may include anxiety, frustration and, in many cases, impaired performance in recreational activities.

Our innovative approach combines traditional massage techniques and sports therapy to target areas of concern and provides rehabilitation and prevention measures. Our treatments, designed to promote healing and recovery, are tailored to each individual’s needs.

Sports Massage and Therapy Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I recently had a sports massage with Eden. He was very professional and respectful of an older lady. He understood my problems and gave me a brilliant massage dealing with my complaints. I would highly recommend him and Perfect Balance.
Lovely place to be zapped, layered, pulled and stretched. The Team are fabulous and would thoroughly recommended Eden & Mohini.
This was a lovely place to come for physio on my knees. Outside and in was welcoming particularly the new clinic within the actual David Lloyd gym facility.The reception staff are pleasant and Selene who did the Ultrasound exam was friendly and knowledgeable and put me at ease.Keone Parker has been my physio clinician. He is friendly and professional. He has done the manipulations in the clinic well, has evaluated the problems with my knees and targeted the correct exercises effectively. He has also explained what the exercises are for and what they are expected to achieve and has encouraged questions. In each session he has asked detailed questions about my progress documenting same. This has enabled effective monitoring of my knee issues, changing or tweaking the exercises to maximise improvement. I have also not been inundated with different exercises meaning that the few that I have had and continue to have I can fit into my daily busy routine.I am now finding that the pain I would have been in before is mostly no longer there with minimal twinges and I have more confidence in my up to 10 mile walks. I have also on occasions not necessarily needed knee supports on reasonably flat terrain.So in summary and overall I have been very pleased with my progress and achievements.
Excellent sports massage from Eden. Shoulders moving more freely and solid advice given to help maintain good posture.
Eden is wonderful. Professional and really good at his job. He is very patient and understanding. Would highly recommend him and Perfect Balance to everyone.
Thank you Eden for the 10/10 Sports massage. My back, neck and shoulders are feeling so much better.
Keone and Selene were great. Managed to relive the issues I was having with some new exercises and they really listened.
Thank you, Eden, for a most effective massage, working on my tight forearms to ease mobility in my hands and for the work on my shoulders. The friendly chat and humour help to distract me from the discomfort! Knowledgeable, skilled, helpful and friendly.
Selene is amazing! After seeing many specialists with no answers, she immediately understood how my stress was affecting my body and knew exactly how to help. Parking is easy, and the staff are super friendly. Highly recommend!
Great sports massage from Keone…lower back pain gone and got in and sorted my tight hip flexor too!
Keone did a fantastic job working on some very tight quads and calves, brilliant job thank you
Been seeing Keone for plantar fasciitis injury which I have had 6 yrs! He has been amazing and taken a diff approach than anyone else I have seen for this issue. I am really starting to see positive results which is life changing for me as I was giving up hope with this foot problem. I am in much less pain and can walk so much better. I would highly recommend Keone. He is also very professional and helpful.
Myself and my 2 teenagers have seen Shereen several times over the last 2 years. I have had some running injuries recently and the acupuncture and advice really helped. My teenagers have both had treatments for gym and football issues.Thank you Shereen.
Keone has been a fantastic help! Very knowledgeable, gives clear Instructions and has a friendly way of pushing you to do the best you can. Highly recommend for rehabilitation and sports therapy
I would highly recommend Keone Parker, Sports Therapist. He has been key to my progress over the last few weeks - each session has carefully built on the last to give me confidence to walk naturally again after I fractured my ankle. He is an excellent listener and has assessed very accurately what stage I'm at each week to be able to recommend the right exercises going forward. He is efficient with time and a great person to work with including a sense of humour! I have really appreciated his positivity and confidence that I'll be able to get back to playing tennis. What is especially useful is his follow up emails with details of each session's exercises and his use of videos. I feel I have benefited from his excellent knowledge and lucky he was assigned to me! Thanks, Keone!
I had Eden for a gait scan. He was very knowledgable and thorough when taking me through the results. He also made the session enjoyable so I definitely recommended.The receptionist who booked my appointment was very efficient and good at explaining the process of the scan and what I needed to bring. Great customer service all round!
Keene was very knowledgeable. Coming from the massage industry myself, I would recommend him! Very professional and made me feel comfortable at all times. Thank you
This is the second time I have consulted with Eden - two unrelated issues: first time was for a back/hip issue and the second time was for a knee issue (meniscal tear).Eden was very thorough and professional in his assessment and made sure to explain everything fully and clearly as he went along. He patiently answered all my questions and ensured I understood everything.The management and treatment I received was excellent and I have full recovered. The home exercises I was given by Eden really helped to get my full strength back and I am back to 100% training!Eden made sure to understand my training workouts and tailored my "back to training" plan to make sure I didn't do too much too soon to ensure full healing and recovery.I really appreciate the care I was given and most definitely recommend Eden!
Several months coming to the clinic have been a great success. Legs now in good shape, and I've got exercises I can carry on into the future to keep them that way. I can't speak too highly of Eden, who approached rehabilitation of this seventy-something with great professionalism and knowledge, but also understanding and humour. Thank you.
Having been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in my right knee, Muhammed Ali took charge of my pre and post opp physiotherapy and guided me through to full recovery with expertise, patience and real skill! As a reasonably fit bloke in my late sixties this was quite a challenge for us both but he has done a great job getting me back to skiing in six months and able to enjoy the gym at least at my pre opp level. His professionalism and attention to detail are exemplary, and it’s been a pleasure to have his support.
Absolutely brilliant service and treatment. Eden is a gem! He’s friendly, knowledgeable, approachable and puts you at complete ease while doing the treatment. I have full trust in this physio service and their ability to help me get through injuries, tightness etc. i have recommended to friends and family and will be back the next time I need help!
Mohini was absolutely fantastic, incredible knowledgeable and had a wonderful personal touch during my treatment.The results I have seen after amputation of my thumb tip are, without exaggeration, miraculous.The laser therapy, physio and rehab exercises have got me back to using my hand in under 6 weeks.Thank you so much for all your help
Life changing!My recovery at Perfect Balance has been an incredible journey! The staff are so kind, friendly and have a genuine caring nature to get you back on your feet. Selene, Shereen and Eden have supported me in this recovery and I could not thank them enough!After my second back muscle spasm, I was in absolute agony and unable to move.From diagnosis to rehabilitation, I have been listened to, supported and have received care that has truly changed my life. My back pain and tension is gone and I feel stronger, happier and I am able to do so much more than I thought I could.Thank you so much!
Eden, a physiotherapist at Perfect Balance, demonstrated exceptional expertise during our sessions. His calm demeanor and meticulous approach to gathering detailed information ensured a comprehensive understanding of my condition. Through insightful questioning, Eden made me feel heard and validated, enhancing the effectiveness of our communication.His use of picture diagrams to explain my knee injury was particularly impactful, making complex medical information accessible and understandable. Eden's recommendations were targeted and practical, tailored to facilitate my recovery process.Most notably, Eden's empathy towards my frustrations provided significant comfort and reassurance. His professional and empathetic approach not only aided in my physical recovery but also supported my mental well-being throughout the process.Overall, my experience with Eden at Perfect Balance was highly positive, marked by his expertise, clear communication, and genuine care. I confidently recommend Eden to those seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate physiotherapist.
I think this place is amazing! Since going here a couple weeks ago to have a foot injury and long-term back pain looked at, I have received incredibly efficient, professional and attentive treatment.Aaron the sports therapist is really great, and he’s helped me find out issues with my gait as well as helping me with my other issues.Reception is also lovely, very professional, welcoming and have been so helpful!Will be recommending this place to anyone who needs a physio/any other of the many services they provide.
Went for a deep tissue massage with Steve today. Targeted the specific areas I was troubled with, and gave me feedback and advice on how to overcome these issues, including specific exercises to do. Extremely intelligent, engaging and friendly, I will definitely be returning
I couldn't walk even 50 yards after retiring as a consequence of a very hard work as a carer. With the help of the wonderful team of Perfect Balance Clinic I can go and do my shopping and walk around. I still exercise daily as my sort therapist advised me and still more room for improvement, due to my age, 69 years old lady. But I wouldn't be here without the help of the Osteopath and Sport therapist competence and professionalism. Thanks Perfect Balance Clinic, Hatfield.
Shereen has a passion for sports therapy which is inspiring. Her positive energy, excellent massage technique and knowledge fuelled my recovery over the last three months. I had extremely tight tension in my neck and shoulders along with pain in my right knee and ankle. Over a number of sessions, she has worked those areas; improved my flexibility and removing the pain. This has given me the confidence to return to swimming and the gym. She has provided guidance on gym routines and foam rolling to support my conditioning. Her motivation has spurred me on to make improvements which have been way beyond my expectations and had a major impact on my physical well-being. Thank you 😊
I have been having sports therapy with Sharon for the past couple of months. I made an initial appointment after sudden onset back pain associated with a PT session. Shareen was able to locate the issues relating not only to my back and relieve the initial muscular tension but subsequently localise the primary problem to my hip area. In subsequent sessions she's worked on these areas and now built in a maintenance programme to keep me on track with my training. Really great at explaining everything and excellent attention to detail. Highly recommend!
After suffering with glute pain and with the Oxford Half Marathon 2022 3 weeks away - I had a scan with Stephen McKindie who diagnosed a bursa - followed up by laser heat treatment and acupuncture with Aaron ( sports therapist) at Hatfield. His advise on strength and stretching exercises and motivational words not only got me to the start line but I finished strong and pain free in a great time! Thanks Perfect Balance always money well spent as it WORKS !
Great clinic, good setup, Mohini is a very thorough and knowledgeable sports therapist. Thank you for sorting my shoulder!
Perfect Balance have worked alongside us for a number of years now. They are brilliant at what they do and are a pleasure to work with.(OHI International)
I visited Eden in relation to a lower back pain after injuring my back in the gym. My back had recently gone into a spasm and it was very painful. Eden was extremely helpful and professional. He quickly identified the areas where the muscles had pulled and provided effective treatment on the back muscles whilst explaining what had happened to my back. I had two sessions, both of which really helped to alleviate the pain almost immediately. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and I would certainly recommend him to anyone with a sports injury. Thanks Eden.
Had great experiences with John (Osteo) and Aaron (rehab) from a shoulder injury. Definitely helped me on the road to 100% recovery! Would recommend their services to anyone!
This course of physiotherapy by Claire has impacted my everyday life massively. From my first appointment she has been very thorough, she went through my entire medical history with me and explained in detail how she is planning my programme according to that and the reasoning behind why and how it is different to the ‘standard program’.I am back to 90% full range of movement and am now able to complete everyday tasks with ease. For example, I am now able to lift my arm to put on my deodorant (which I was not able to do before). Claire has been brilliant at setting goals specific to me and that would challenge me. She was able to motivate me and explain how each exercise would contribute to functional tasks and every time offered to video the new exercises in each session so I could see how they should be done.She also showed me regression and progressions of my exercises not only from her own exercise plan she made for me, but also from my NHS physio, she truly went above and beyond on multiple different occasions. An example of this is she always allowing me to email her with any issues, concerns or additional progressions and regressions in-between appointments.Another major point I have taken away from our sessions is the advice and education Claire has given me in every session she would tell me the reason behind everything and would do linking to both the major muscle groups and the more intrinsic muscles.Claire also helped explain her clinical reasoning to my daughter who is an aspiring physiotherapist in her second year of study at university.In summing up Claire has been fantastic her sessions have truly improved my quality of life and I am able to continue with everyday life with minimal pain and almost full range of movement.
Really happy with the treatment received from Jennie. After 5 sessions I am pain free from a niggling condition lasting a couple of years. Highly recommended - Thank you!
Highly recommend Jamie and the rehab team - I was living a life plagued by chronic lower back pain. It ruled everything I did and would flare up majorly at least once or twice a year.Jamie and I have been working together for 12 months and I now feel so much stronger, mentally and physically. I even have days / weeks pain free :)I have a way to go but I feel I have so many tools to help me complete the journey myself thanks to Jamie's skills, knowledge and advice. Thank you PB!
A combination of covid - working from home over a laptop fatigue and old sports injuries were sorted with a caring service. Hoping to get back for further treatment soon.
Currently suffering from plantar fascitus, and being treated by Jennifer at Perfect Balance. I was due to run the virtual London marathon 2.5 weeks after PF hit, and I couldn't imagine how I could possibly be able to run it given the amount of pain I was in. Jennifer understood my motivation and need to run if I could. She gave me some intense massage and ultrasound treatment over the next fortnight and managed to get it settled enough for me to run the marathon - for which I am very grateful. Her patient care and knowledge is superb and I feel in very good hands. Its not nice having an injury, but when it happens, I feel reassured coming to Perfect Balance for treatment.
I have recommended so many family and friends to Perfect Balance Clinic, I have seen Stephen Makinde for osteopathy on many occasions and he always manages to ease my pain. He is a very professional, knowledgeable and articulate Osteopath where the clients well being is of the utmost importance. Stephen recommended I saw Jamie Cunningham a rehab specialist at Perfect Balance Clinic. I have been seeing Jamie for the past few months on zoom meetings and can honestly say he has helped me so much advising me each week the exercises I need to do to help build the strength in my core to keep my back strong. Jamie constantly monitors what I am doing to ensure I keep on track with my exercises. I feel this has been huge benefit to me and I now have confidence in my back which I have not had this for many years. Thank you to Perfect Balance Clinic, you are a great team.
Great experience with Phil Owen. I'm really impressed with his diagnostic ability and his approach to people that he treats. Overall first class service from Perfect Balance, including their reception, how they handle phone calls, provide reminders and just generally welcome you and make you feel comfortable.
Syreeta gave me a very good massage the other day, feeling more relaxed to my back and shoulders already, and she took a scientific approach to assessing and treating me, giving me some exercises to work on to improve things. I will be back again for sure.
Have received first class service both in terms of physiotherapy and sports therapy (rehab work) from the whole team at Perfect Balance Cambridge. Thanks to everyone!
Phil got me back to running very swiftly, with a quick diagnosis and an easy progression of manageable exercises. Helpful staff and a good location.
I had a really beneficial session. A great massage with emotionally healing results. Treat yourself and book now!
I have been visiting the practice for a few months now. Alex has been excellent, helping me get to the bottom of the pain I am experiencing and trying to improve / mange it. Recommend the practice and Alex.
This is a great clinic. Its friendly staff are so helpful. Parking is easy and appointments available. Alex was amazing and completely got rid of the long term pain in my legs and I’m now back playing tennis. I had nearly given up before I saw her. She was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I am now ok but will definitely get another appointment here if I need one.
The clinic is excellent. The appointments team are very helpful, understanding and efficient and the receptionist Chelsea is always friendly and welcoming. I have treatment with Anna for osteopathy to help with mobility for golf and she is amazing; knowledgeable and highly skilled, I always feel great after seeing her and I play much better.
Had issues with my lower back muscles. Alex sorted it out with a few sessions of dry needling. She made me feel comfortable and at ease when performing the needling. Would recommend to anyone who who’s suffering with a similar problem. Oh and I can’t forgot Chelsea the receptionist who is always friendly and smiling!
My therapist Syreeta combined massage and exercise treatments over a period of 5 sessions for a calf strain, which occurred whilst playing tennis.It's the small details that have given me more awareness of areas I need to focus on to help prevent the injury reoccurring. Working with me in the gym was very beneficial as it has given me a basic program structure to follow and build upon, as well the confidence to get back on court after 5 weeks.I followed up my treatment with a sports massage, which has pin-pointed muscle groups that I need to work on to improve flexibility and posture.I would highly recommend Syreeta and I will likely continue with occasional sports massages to keep me on course to improvements.
I was already doing exercises for a scoliosis condition that had been recommended by a London therapist. I consulted Majo Jose about a different but related problem. I found him knowledgeable and immediately able to recognise both my scoliosis problems and the causes of this new issue . Over a series of sessions he guided through some new exercises that helped my condition.I found these helpful and have resolved to continue with them. So I am pleased with my experience.
Majo was great when I tore my calf. He worked with me to get it back up to speed, gave me some recommendations on how to strengthen it and stretch it going forward. He let me know I could always schedule something with him, but never pushed for more sessions than needed which was very much appreciated! I’d highly recommend Majo and Perfect Balance for anyone needing a physio
I was referred for physiotherapy with suspicion of repetitive strain injury and that's when I met Majo. He straightaway realised that problem was in my neck and worked carefully with me, showing helpful exercises and helping to relax the muscles with massages. I was able to really tell the difference in a few weeks. I'm very grateful for finding knowledgeable and skilful physiotherapist who was able to identify what was causing my problems and teaching me how to resolve them. I cannot recommend Majo and Perfect Balance Cambridge highly enough!
Sports massage has been very helpful in my rehabilitation. Syreeta is very knowledgeable, personable and fantastic at what she does five stars!
I saw an advert for PB and back pain, Sciatica.Having been given physio exercises by the NHS I wondered if I could try and get stronger/fitter by combining the physio exercises with more, by going to see PB it may motivate and encourage me to keep as fit as I could and try and manage my pain !I felt that Alex made it personal, she understood my purpose and encouraged and taught me to stay as fit as I can. It hasn't got rid of my problem but certainly helped me with pain management and fitness, thank you.
Had 5 sessions with Alex and a massage with Syreeta. The issues I had were dealt with sensitively and with great professionalism. The treatment and advice has made a significant contribution to my recovery and rehabilitation from long-term injury.I thoroughly recommend the clinic: the entire team - starting with Julie and Chelsea on reception - is friendly, knowledgeable and 100% professional.
Keone has helped me rebuild my strength after an injury, and now I feel confident to continue my marathon training.I highly recommend him for any sports injuries. He not only gives you the right exercises but also keeps you updated on your progress and how your mobility is improving, which I haven’t experienced elsewhere. If you don’t quite understand something, he’ll go above and beyond to explain it in a way that works best for you.
Saw Keone a number of times for a sore hamstring. Very personable, knowledgeable, and helped resolve the problem whilst maintaining my running training.
I've been working with Keone for a year now, and I'm extremely happy with the progress I've made. After dealing with a hip problem that left me uncertain if I’d ever manage daily tasks again, Keone’s expert guidance and clear, tailored instruction have been key to my recovery. Thanks to his personalized approach and continuous support, I'm now back to normal. I highly recommend Keone to anyone seeking top-quality care!
Exceptional experience with the physiotherapist Rachel! Professional, knowledgeable, and caring. Tailored treatment plan that yielded noticeable improvements. Highly recommend for anyone seeking effective rehabilitation and personalized care.The only reason I am not rating 5 stars is the billing department who one week repeatedly contacted me several times in one day about payment which had already been processed. It was borderline harassment.
I saw your osteopath Sophie Howe. She manipulated my injury on my ankles it hurt so much I couldn’t walk afterwards I was limping. She told me to go have a so-called gait scan at their Hatfield clinic (wrote a review) she actually made my ankle worse and it’s more sore than it was before. She told me to make an appointment a whole month later. What a waste of my time this was. Avoid this establishment!!
I have received physio treatment from Rachel for my various ailments and sporting injuries over a number of years. Throughout Rachel has been consistently excellent, she is a very knowledgeable, attentive and always friendly - would highly recommend!
Many thanks to Rachel who understood and recommended a roadmap for further treatment. I am much wiser after the appointment. Would highly recommend.
I have received excellent physiotherapy and sports therapy for my shoulder with Perfect Balance. As a result, I’ve been able to return to exercise pain free and my shoulder now functions properly. Perfect Balance offer a great service and I would highly recommend them.
I started seeing Rachel Vialou-Clark last year when I had severe pain in my neck and arm. Rachel was amazing from the very 1st session, she was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable at every appointment. I had neck surgery in Jan 2021 and have been seeing her in the recovery phase where again she has been amazing, she has always gone above and beyond and I could not recommend her enough. Thank you very much Rachel I am now almost 100% and would not of been able to with your support.
I’ve been seeing James for Sports massage to help with a running problem. He has been great, he has not only sorted my problem out and given me exercises to help improve, but has helped me with a recent back problem to get me to the start line of an upcoming race.James is very friendly, incredibly knowledgable and I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Positive and professional staff. The Sports Therapist was able to identify my issue and set me a treatment plan which helped me to recover from my injury.
An all round positive experience with the team at PB, from reception to practitioners. A big thanks to both Jenny (sports therapist) and Marina (pilates instructor). Always a positive experience with you guys during the sessions.It's great to know we have a hub close by that understands and is able to discuss, diagnose and treat sport related injuries.
Saw Anj for numerous sessions following a bike accident. Great physio and good company. Would highly recommend.
I've been seeing Stephen for a number of years and with his help I have come a long way. I've gone from high levels of pain and unable to do much to shortly running my first half marathon - serious progress!Stephen is very knowledgeable and brilliant at what he does. The team are excellent, very high standards of customer service. Highly recommend.
Stephen is a WizardI saw Stephen after my neck locked up playing golf. He managed to see me last minute the next day and diagnosed the issue straight away. After initial treatment he restored some movement and made me aware of how it would feel over the next few days. After a 2nd treatment it is now almost at full movement and pain is minimal. He also addressed other issues in my hips which may be a factor in the overall cause of the problem. Thanks for sorting me out!
Stephen at Perfect Balance is absolutely the best! After an extremely traumatic accident, paralyzing me on my left hand side & endless other injuries - I was in so much pain I could hardly get out of bed ever. I started seeing Stephen and, with a loving & caring attitude, he has totally given me back the life in my life! He's done more for me than any other specialist surgeon, I will be eternally grateful to him
Amazing service - been a huge benefit from Perfect Balance. Highly recommend their services.
Emma is the best osteopath doctor there . She has fixed my back . Best and friendly doctor
I can't recommend Kasia at Perfect Balance enough! I have been suffering with back problems for as long as I can remember and after my third operation, Kasia was recommended for Physiotherapy to aid in my recovery.She has been very professional and friendly throughout our sessions making me feel comfortable and is proactive in making sure my needs are met. You really feel listened to and that your journey matters, the patient is definitely put first.Different techniques are used as when required and it is clear that Kasia is an expert in her field.If you can, definitely book with Kasia!
I've been visiting Kasia for over a year, and she has been fantastic. She is friendly, compassionate, and always encourages me to do my best. I suffered a leg injury, and thanks to her, I've improved more than I ever expected. I am truly grateful for her.The clinic itself is also fantastic. The staff are always friendly, professional, and welcoming, which creates such a positive atmosphere.
I’ve been a regular K-Laser patient with Kasia at The Perfect Balance Clinic for over a year, and I cannot speak highly enough of her. She’s not only been an incredible therapist but also a great source of moral support throughout my rehabilitation journey. With ongoing ups and downs, Kasia has always been there for me, adapting her approach to meet my body’s changing needs.Her warm smile and calming presence make every session a comfortable experience. No matter how I'm feeling when I arrive for my appointment, I always leave feeling safe, cared for, and in excellent hands. Kasia’s ability to adjust her treatments based on how my body is responding has been invaluable. She has also collaborated seamlessly with my other therapists—physio, occupational therapist, and massage therapist—to ensure I’m getting the best care possible.After struggling with chronic nerve and muscle pain, fatigue, and mobility issues, K-Laser therapy with Kasia has made an incredible difference. My pain and fatigue have significantly improved, and I’m feeling much more mobile. The combination of acupuncture and K-Laser therapy has proven to be highly effective, and I feel incredibly fortunate that Kasia can provide both treatments. She’s truly been a key part of my recovery, and I’m so grateful for her dedication, expertise, and the positive energy she brings to every session
I can't recommend Kasia Musial enough! 5 years ago I was suffering with intense lower back pain and a friend recommended I visit Kasia, after her consultant described her as the best physiotherapist in London. And I cannot agree more.From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. She takes the time to thoroughly assess my condition and I appreciate that she puts together a realistic treatment plan tailored to my lifestyle and the time I have.I've been visiting her for every issue I've had since, from hip pain and neck stiffness, to sports injuries. The sessions are professional yet friendly, and I honestly notice improvement immediately. This is due to the novel methods Kasia uses, as she is trained in many different tools, such as muscle scraping and laser treatment, in addition to teaching me ideal form for stretches and things I can add to my existing gym routine. No more being sent away feeling the same as I went in, with a photocopied list of basic exercises to do!The clinic is also super clean, well-equipped, and appointments always run on time. It's clear that Kasia genuinely cares about her patients and their recovery.Thank you for helping me time and time again Kasia, my quality of life and understanding of how to maintain and support my body, are better because of you!
I've had a great experience working with Emma at Perfect Balance Clinic to address my chronic shoulder and back pains. Each time, she attentively listens to understand my issues, proceeds with the treatment to work on the affected areas, and plans curated exercises for me to do between the sessions. Over the course of the sessions and exercises, there has been a gradual and notable improvement in my pain. Emma is also very friendly to work with.
Kasia is excellent. I have never been that convinced by Physio’s but Kasia has changed my view. She has been great, sensible exercises that are not too time consuming. Also her needle work is brilliant with great results.
As a Tour Guide it is important that I can walk distances comfortably . My therapist Samuel took time to properly understand my problems, particularly as I have had a hip replacement . I now have a set of designed exercises to undertake before my next appointment. I have been to a number of physiotherapists before and this was by far the best.
Kasia is an amazing physiotherapist and has helped me regain my movement and confidence! Kasia is a professional, thoughtful, kind and encouraging person. Not only has she helped me become physically stronger, she has also supported me to feel more like myself again while recovering from a major injury. I don't think I would have been able to recover so well without her.10/10
Worked with Hannah when I had lower back pain that wouldn't go away. Hannah was great, really easy to speak to and suggested a routine that has kept the recurring pain away ever since. Would recommend!
I had a few sessions with Jamie for my stiff neck. He was polite, caring and understanding. His sessions were amazing and he really helped with my neck issues. He gave me sessions to do at home. Thank you Jamie
Thanks to the amazing Selene, who has really helped me gain confidence with her Physio treatment since I fractured my ankle. She's so professional and a really positive person to support my recovery. She introduced me to K-Laser therapy which we hope will promote and speed up the healing process! A pleasure to work with!
Since first meeting Kasia regarding a chronic tib post tendon injury, I've been thoroughly impressed by her professionalism and methodical approach. She really took a genuine interest in my particular case, and has been incredibly thorough and careful in developing and implementing her treatment plan. Six months ago, I was told by an orthopaedic surgeon that it may require an operation, but I went to Kasia to try new approaches before I committed to any surgery. And after several intensive sessions, we are finally seeing results from a careful choice of non-invasive therapies. I am very impressed, and relieved!
Great experience I would recommend perfect balance clinic, my second time visiting they are punctual and have excellent customer service. Hannah is very good, knowledgeable and professional I would definitely recommend her, I was getting a lot of stiffness, limiting my mobility causing a lot of frustration I noticed a difference straight after my massage and felt relaxed.
I have seen many physios and various therapists to treat sports injuries over the years and, honestly, Hannah is the best I have come across. She’s treated me for various ailments and injuries so far and is always spot on with her diagnostic approach and her rehab guidance. She has great knowledge and is a really clear communicator - I’m very grateful for the support she has given, and continues to give me.
I had the pleasure of being under the expert care of Kasia at the Moorgate clinic for nearly a year due to a series of running-related injuries. As an avid marathon runner, I suffered a tibial stress fracture in one leg, followed by a stress injury in the opposite leg, both of which were the result of intense marathon training.From the outset, Kasia's approach was nothing short of professional, compassionate, and, above all, effective. She demonstrates a deep understanding of sports-related injuries and an impressive ability to tailor her treatment to the unique needs of a runner.The range of techniques Kasia employed was extensive. We explored and implemented a variety of strengthening exercises specifically designed to support my recovery and prevent future injuries. Her hands-on work was instrumental in alleviating pain and promoting healing, while the incorporation of laser therapy and acupuncture offered innovative and comforting additions to my treatment plan.Throughout the process, Kasia's thoroughness and reassuring demeanor were invaluable. Her guidance and expertise not only facilitated my physical recovery but also bolstered my mental resilience. With her support, I regained the confidence necessary to continue my marathon training and set my sights on the London Marathon 2024.Kasia's commitment to her clients is evident in the personalised care she provides. She goes above and beyond to ensure that rehabilitation is not just about recovery but about empowering her clients to achieve their fitness goals safely and sustainably.I am immensely grateful to Kasia and the Moorgate clinic for their exceptional service and would highly recommend. Under Kasia's care, I felt seen, heard, and, most importantly, on the right track to not just return to running but to excel in it.Thank you Kasia.
Emma has done a fantastic job at sorting out my lower back pain. Before getting treated, I had reached a point where I was almost limping. After the first session, I could already feel a strong improvement. Emma clearly explained the issue I was facing and what the next steps would be to realign my pelvis. She regularly gave me exercises to do at home and after a few sessions with her, my back pain was gone and I was able to gradually start running again. Emma is very knowledgeable and the process has been very smooth overall.
Emma and the team at Perfect balance have been exceptionally helpful at treating a long term injury and provided me with a strategy to prevent injury longer term. Thanks for all the help.
Emma did a great job helping me over a 3 month period strengthen and ultimately repair my ankle.She was professional, friendly and a great communicator throughout.I even had acupuncture despite hating needles, but was completely pain free, and ultimately helped the process.
I highly recommend Perfect Balance Clinic.My therapist Emma was absolutely amazing. She is very knowledge and experienced therapist.Emma helped me to stand on my feet again and realised from the pain, so again I can enjoy jump on Zumba:)
I've been seeing Kasia at Perfect Balance for the past 9 months for problems with my feet (and related neck/shoulder issues too) She's an absolutely brilliant physio - she always gives me exercises I can do at home, and her acupuncture and massage are amazing! Would highly recommend.
I had a deep tissue massage with Hanna, in the center of Moorgate. I have problems with arthritis, arthrosis, finromyalgia and contracture in the shoulders on which I somatize all the tensions. I entrusted myself to the golden hands of this talented professional who immediately gave me so much relief. I recommend it to you!
Hannah gave me a decent sports massage. Good hands, working on my knots and muscles. Thank you Hamnah. Will recommend you to my friends.
I’ve used Perfect Balance on a number of occasions for managing various injuries. Being a fitness and healthcare professional, it is essential for me to remain injury-free (or as close to it as possible) to perform my job well. The team have helped enormously in this regard, and shout-out to Caitlin and Jamie for their help, and more recently and especially Hannah who has been a brilliant professional in helping me rehabilitate from tendinosis by using shockwave therapy, already giving me fantastic results. Thanks guys!
I have nothing but great things to say about the care and treatment I'm receiving from Kasia at Perfect Balance, Moorgate. Her approach is completely holistic. She asks questions regarding your whole body, health, wellbeing and uses this to inform her diagnoses and treatment ... and I'm delighted to say that it's working. She's also managing to keep me in good shape to stay running during treatment. Highly recommend.
The best place to get you fixed!!! I have started physio with Kasia 4 months and a half ago. I had 2 hernias in my lower back, 2 dislocated discs, stubborn plantar fasciitis and peroneal tendinopathy. I was in huge pain, I couldn't get up from bed in the morning unless it was on my four, I couldn't sit or lay on my back or get up standing without reaching for external support. Walking was feeling like stepping on broken glass and just breathing or putting my heel down would send sudden shooting pain straight to my spine. To avoid pain as much as I could I was adopting positions and postures that caused me a visible hips misalignment too. I was literally feeling broken from the waist down, sometimes unable to move at all.I still remember the first day with Kasia, I was all stiff, I could hardly sit, all awry on one side and by the end of the session I was all straight, feeling taller and able to twist my trunk. I was drunk of happiness!!! And since then everything got better and better. I am fuctional again, got most of my mobility back, reduced massively the pain, and feeling strong again! I can not be happier!!!. Kasia is a 360° profesional expert, maximizing all the tools available to her( massage techniques, taping, acupuncture etc) together with her knowledge and great attention to detail( even the taping tape would have a specific colour to promote healing). On top of that, amazing people skills, she knows how to put you at ease the moment you step into the office, very welcoming! And she even remembers personal details you maybe told her 3 weeks before ( while I forget even what I had for lunch) .I couldn't recommend her enough! Also everyone is superavailable and accomodating; I had to change my appointments several times, even last moment and they always give the extra mille to find the time that suits you best.Great place with great staff, able to give you the best treatment and human interaction!!!Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I came to see Jamie with really painful achilles tendinitis which had been troubling me for weeks. My legs are so much stronger now after training up various muscles that weren’t supporting my achilles properly for some time. I am BEYOND grateful to Jamie as I have been able to walk pain free now and train again which would have been impossible without his help. I’ve really enjoyed the sessions and would recommend to anyone with any fitness troubles you have! Miracle worker! ( but you must do the work too!)
I went to this physio in the heart of the City on impulse and had a great experience with Kasia who solved all my back problems! Thank you Kasia.
I had a one hour deep tissue massage with Hannah Ainge. I am suffering with lower back pain for the past whole year. I was struggling to find a nice place to help me with that. And I have tried many places it didn’t help that much. Hannah was so professional and with intense knowledge and magic pair of hands. With her help my pain was immediately eased. I am looking forward to have a better quality life after my treatment with her. Thank you 🙏
First deep tissue massage with Hannah, one of the nicest people I have met in a long time, wasn't quite sure what to expect but it was wonderful and for the first time in a long time I've been able to walk without leg's hurting and also my breathing improved. Fantastic and definitely going back. Thank you Hannah
Really helpful clinic. Would definitely recommend. Hannah was very knowledgeable and helpful and they also offered a strength and mobility analysis to help specifically identify areas to work on.
Can't speak highly enough of the entire team at Perfect Balance. Over the past year they have helped (and are still helping) me recover from a chronic injury, combining their expertise in physiotherapy, osteopathy, laser therapy and a bespoke rehabilitation programme. Unlike other MSK clinics that specialise in just one discipline, the beauty of PB is that they have a multi-disciplinary team who continutally review and discuss your treatment plan as a team, and if you aren't progressing, they look at why and what alternative treatments could work better. I genuinely feel that they care about your recovery and can't thank them enough. Would highly recommend to anyone with a niggle or a more chronic injury.
I have had a great experience with Perfect Balance Clinic Moorgate. I had an injury with my shoulder that was ongoing for 6 months and Hannah has fixed it swiftly in just a few weeks. Very pleased with the results and service. I can highly recommend Perfect Balance Clinic Moorgate and Hannah.
I had been suffering with elbow tendinitis and bursitis for months before I came to see Kasia Musial for shockwave therapy. We did five sessions and then numerous physiotherapy sessions - her approach is very effective yet gentle, she helped me strengthen while also coaching me through the ups and downs of the recovery process (including a few tearful sessions!). Im now back to doing the activities I enjoy without pain, many thanks to Kasia and the rest of the team. I would highly recommend her and this clinic to my friends and family suffering from injuries!
I have been seeing Emma for ~6 months. She has been great: she has prepared and followed a treatment plan to improve my back pain, with significant, tangible improvement. Would highly recommend.
This is going to sound like one of those glowing reviews where you suspect the person has been paid off (they should to be fair) but the service at Perfect Balance has always been nothing short of exceptional. I play tennis and softball but also boulder so injure myself in myriad ways but no matter which injury I present with (never the same one) the staff always identify it, treat me and get me back to full fitness. I'll list some so others with similar injuries know that they're in good hands, I've had a pulled hamstring, a pulled calf, tendonitis of the knee, tennis elbow and an impact injury from getting a softball in the shin on a fly-ball. All fixed.I've worked most closely with Kasia, Hannah and Steve but also had some interactions with Jamie in the rehabilitation phases. They are all masters of their craft but also they always provide their service with a smile and good humour (which helps a massive amount in the recovery stages). They also give excellent advice and exercises to aid recovery. I couldn't recommend them enough
I have been suffering from foot issues and started seeing Hannah Ainge at the Moorgate clinic.Her knowledge was excellent and she was friendly and professional. She diagnosed my problem and started manual therapy on me as well as giving me exercises to do at home .I have seen great improvement thanks to her .I highly recommend Hannah and I’m very happy with perfect balance
Kasia is by far the best Physio Therapist I have ever worked with. I have chronic problems, some of which have been with me for over 20 years and have worked with several Physiotherapists who have unsuccessfully tried to treat them. This is the first time that I can say that great progress has been made and I can see a pain free future where they don't control my life. 10/10
I have been seeing Kasia for 2 or 3 months. She has been brilliant. I went with a minor, but long standing, problem with my shoulder. She said that it might be causing the tightness in my hip - i thought that was really unlikely but the day after treatment the tightness had gone! The shoulder is now healed too. I've been going back with all the other minor niggles ever since. They are all improved or completely gone.
For someone like me who suffers from chronic pain in my neck due to a severe injury, the deep tissue massage with Emma has been beneficial for the last weeks. Patiently she has provided deep massage to the most painful areas of my neck. So the pain and discomfort have decreased. She also kindly showed me stretching exercises for my daily routine.
I set the Perfect Balance team a challenge after Kasia had done such a fantastic job putting me back together again after I developed plantar fasciitis during the first lockdown.I'd been having pretty severe pain for many months which numerous consultants and various types of scans couldn't identify nor solve.Kasia, with help now and again from Stephen, used her hands-on magic and infinite patience to work out what was wrong and how to solve it.Slowly but surely, we've worked together (along with Tiffany's acupuncture) and I'm on the road to recovery.Trusted and tested, I've recommended them to friends and colleagues and I'm so grateful to have found such skilled practitioners.
I cannot recommend Emma's osteopathy sessions enough at Perfect Balance Clinic Moorgate. Had extensive pain in neck with limited movement. Through massage and regular treatment as well as an exercise plan at home to strengthen my neck and lower back I am now pain free and experiencing a range of movement and flexibility that I didn't have before the injury. Thank you.
I have been going to Perfect Balance for a while initially to recover from Achilles tendonitis for rehab and treatment after months of trying to find someone to help me. Now I go to maintain a healthy injury free body. Caitlin is AMAZING she puts in 100% to make sure everything is perfect to make my body work to the very best it can and cannot do enough to make me feel happy and cared for while I’m there but also with follow up treatment/programs. I highly recommend a visit to her!! Victoria
Kasia helped identify the area needed for physio and proceeded to tailor exercises to strengthen the area, regularly amending the workouts to focus on the specific actions that needed the most attention. Having completed our sessions now, the problem has gone away and I have a better understanding of what caused it in the first place, as well as a long term plan to avoid reoccurrence. I highly recommend Kasia and the team for their clear and effective approach to rehabilitation.
Kasia is a super professional, knowledgeable and friendly physiotherapist at Perfect Balance. When I had my first consultation with Kasia, she was able to provide me with a tailored treatment plan and helped me to get my health back on track. Highly recommended!!!
I was run over 3 years and left with 2 broken legs. My right knee has been a problem ever since, reducing me to VERY little walking and a lot of pain. My friend recommended I go to see Steven Makinde after not having much improvement after years of physio and regular meetings with top knee surgeons. I wish I had seen him when this first happened as I'm seeing great results quickly. Also I highly recommend Tiffany the acupuncturist. Thanks Perfect Balance team.I also like that he has quite late evening appointments helping to not interrupt your work day.
Perfect Balance has been superb start to finish throughout my diagnosis and treatment. Emma's knowledge, diagnosis and treatment has been amazing which has kept me training for an upcoming event. Highly recommend the clinic and very close to Bank station which helps.
Had the pleasure of working with physio Kasia Musial.Extremely professional and attentive during sessions. Guided me through rehab and exercises whilst seeing great improvement.
Having signed up to one of Perfect Balance Clinic's run analysis, I was super impressed with the entire team. Kasia in particular stood out. She ensured that I was completely pain free ( having suffered for a decade with a painful knee it was like a miracle to walk away after one session and feel no pain at all!!) I cannot recommend her enough. I recently smashed my PB of 10 years ago and I ain't no spring chicken !! Thank you Kasia for your amazing work, because of it this tri-athlete is once again looking forward to the next challenge.
After almost 2 years with pain in both my feet, 7 months of "treatment" with NHS that didn't work, going to a different osteopath and not getting better, I went to Perfect Balance Clinic. After one section with Jamie, where he told me he believed my diagnosis was wrong and one section with Stephen, where he told me what I had and how it connected with all the other pains in my body, I just couldn't recommend this place hard enough. They explained everything to me, making sure I understood what I have and now I'll start a treatment that will help me. I'm really happy that I found this place and I'm recommending it to everyone I know!
I found Perfect Balance Clinic when i had serious ankle issues. To be honest I couldn't beleive in my eyes when i saw my developement after the first section. It gave me hope for a full recovery what i done with the help of this great team who is working hard to help people like me every day with a great knowladge and experiance. I had laser therapy, accupuncture therapy, physio therapy and massage with different specialists who always made me feel i am important and they always been very friendly and helpful with me.I can not thank enough this incredible hard work on my recovery. I am very happy and satisfied with my results.
As a long-distance triathlete, I tend to stretch my body to the limits. The pandemic work in from home environment didn't help my everyday posture either, and I ended up with constant back pain, topped up some ankle issues. To address these issues, I spoke with PB's specialists and ended up signing up for an acupuncture treatment. I was a bit nervous, as never tried before, but Tiffany went above and beyond to answer all my questions. She was very professional, always explained what would happen, and handled the needles with magic. Most of the time, I barely felt anything. However, the healing started straight away. She managed to put me back on my feet, I could carry on running again, and permanently resolved issues that previous deep tissue massages just temporarily addressed. I cannot recommend her services highly enough if you have problems, and I'm 100% sure I will return in the future.
I have had a number of exercise related issues over the last almost 5 years. When initially training for an IronMan to now doing functional fitness - the team at Perfect Balance have helped me through it all and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. Very professional, high capability and overall really kind group of experts.
Having suffered with an ankle injury for 4 months and receiving treatment locally, I finally saw Stephen and Olga and was back running within 3 weeks! Sports massage with Olga is now a vital part of my training to keep injury free. These guys are miracle workers!
Stephen and Daine have got me back on track quicker and better than anyone I've worked before - a combination of knowledge, a clear plan and fun along the way has been amazing. I already recommend them to everyone with an injury!
Very professional team at Perfect Balance Clinic. They are truly here to help you resolve whatever issue you may have in the quickest but most thorough way possible. I used to suffer from intense pain every moment of my day and this has been reduced so much with the help of the osteo and physio sessions at this clinic. They’re a very understanding team and very kind and a good reception team too- I’ve never had any issues with booking or cancelling appointments. I would definitely recommend PBC! Book a session, it is well worth it.
I have been receiving treatment from VJ and more recently Julia from perfect balance for a back and shoulder issue. Both from the beginning have been excellent.I was extremely impressed with their speed of identifying the issues with my injury as it was not sports related and the recommendations they both offered for alleviating my injury outside of the treatment room.Julia in particular has been excellent in guiding on what to do in relation to stretches and changes to make in my day to day activities. I would highly recommend Perfect Balance.
Stephen is a magician osteopath with a very diverse toolkit. Highly recommended!
Stephen Makinde is an expert and an exceptional practitioner.I came to see Stephen at a very scary time after having a major vertigo attack with vomiting which left me with a complete breakdown of my vestibular system. For weeks I had been unable to sit up, walk, feed myself or do any basic tasks due to the violent dizziness. It brought a huge amount of anxiety and fatigue.The GP had diagnosed Labyrinthitis, but having seen the GP many times, along with a Chiropractor and ENT specialist I was feeling unsupportedas I was given basic exercises and told I will be better in 3 months. What I needed was a thorough and bespoke rehabilitation plan to restore my balance and confidence.Coming to see Stephen was the turning point in my recovery. Stephen's approach is to investigate the underlying causes to enable long term and absolute recovery. He really listened to and observed my body and mind to discover what was needed to get better. He has helped me embark on the journey of a complete health reset.Through his expertise and deep knowledge across Neuroscience, Osteopathy and Naturopathy Stephen has delivered focussed and direct, practical treatment which gave me hope and enabled me to take control of my recovery. The comprehensive treatment has involved many stages including overcoming BPPV and cervicogenic dizziness through specific neck exercises tailored to me, working on spine stability, posture and proprioception. Also calming my nervous system through acupuncture and rebalancing my emotional state with Bach Flower Remedies. He also consulted with my massage therapist to ensure they were working towards the same goals + complimenting each other's treatment.Stephen is kind, calm, approachable and explains things in a digestible way. Each time I left the office I felt I was given just the right amount of information to feel motivated for the next stage, without feeling overwhelmed about the further challenges yet to come. Having someone work on your spine, neck and head takes trust. I felt 100% safe in Stephen's care every step of the way. He always showed complete respect and double checked for consent before any steps were taken.Recovery from this kind of illness is non linear. At one point I had a setback and I was able to call Stephen. Luckily due to a cancellation I was able to get a same day appointment, which was a real lifeline.Initially I was afraid of the cost of the sessions. However it was crystal clear after my first appointment that this is excellent value for money and was the correct path to be on. Investing in this has meant I will return to work quicker + by making changes now I will avoid further health crises resulting in a much healthier future.Having access to Stephen's knowledge has been invaluable and a real privilege. It has been extremely refreshing to have a healthcare practitioner who really listens to me and my body, to replenish my health from the core, connecting the dots across the whole health spectrum and landscape. Each time I leave the office, I am in awe of what we have discovered + I have learnt. Despite how awful this illness has been, having treatment from Stephen has changed my life for the better and empowered my relationship with my own well-being.It has been a journey we have worked on together and will continue to do so as I slowly return to work and exercise with Stephen's guidance.My partner and I have already recommended Stephen to many friends, some of which have already been to see him and thanked us profusely for the connection. Looking at the broader health landscape is what so many people are in need of. We couldn't think more highly of Stephen's work.
I have had four sessions with Stephen Makinde after sustaining a sacral torsion. He is amazing. Not only has he rectified my injury but has identified other imbalances which I can now address to prevent further problems. His knowledge of the skeletal, muscular and nervous system is truly incredible and his manner is gentle, kind and reassuring. A gentleman and a genius, who I highly recommend.
Amazing service from the booking reception (Julie) to my therapist Hannah who was incredible with a lot of knowledge. I am confident I'll be on a good mend soon - Thank you! 🙂
Stephen and the team regularly fix me after I've managed to break myself getting overexcited with my latest sports obsession, and they always have me back ready in time for my races. Stephen in particular is unusual in being able to diagnose the underlying causes of complex issues, meaning you're able to treat the things that matter rather than playing whack a mole with symptoms.
I’ve never met anybody like Stephen who has such a deep, holistic & intuitive understanding of the body & able to offer western science with eastern medicine to heal you at the root cause. My issues were complex & a combination of physical, mental & emotional stresses, but Stephen has been able to heal each layer one at a time & now I’m well on my way to a full recovery. I recommend Stephen to anyone who the current medical system has failed & off the back of my miraculous results, my whole family are now seeing him too! He’s literally the best in the industry & an absolute wizard - if he can’t fix it, nobody can!
Stephen is just amazing. Extremely polite and caring. Spot on with his diagnosis and one sees instant results. Replies quickly to mails. Always talks you through what he’s doing. I’m very happy with the treatment and it has definitely given me a lot of relief.
Stephen has been working with me on some complex issues restricting my mobility. His attention to the issue at hand is exceptional, improving my mobility and importantly describing his procedures at every stage. I would recommend Stephen and his team without exception.
It’s hard to articulate how good Stephen is. I had seen multiple physios and osteos to help fix an issue with my knee, and had mentally got to a stage of acceptance that I may never run again. Stephen had me running in four sessions. He seems to thrive on fixing problems others couldn’t, and have incredible success in doing so. His approach is unique, in that he takes a holistic view of your health rather than the isolated issue and it seemingly yields amazing results. I could not recommend Stephen more.
I really can’t say enough about the great work that Stephen and the team have done for me. A few years ago, I’d sort of given up on my body. I was still active, but I was constantly editing things out of my life – things I wanted to do - because of pain and atrophied muscles in various parts of my body. I was limping when I got tired, my back hurt, my hips were stiff, and I couldn’t really move my left arm over my head without pain.Today? Well, I’m just back from a 5-day canoe trip down the Rhine. Earlier this year I did a surf trip and got to do some actual surfing. Last year I completed a 90km canoe trip through the Canadian wilderness, complete with mile-long portages and 10 hours of paddling a day. I’ve started juggling and rope-walking again, and am able to hold my own in a regular calisthenics class with people half my age.The team at Perfect Balance have been a huge factor in getting me back to a level of fitness that allows me to take on adventures that a few years back would have been impossible. Stephen and his team work fast to diagnose and treat root causes and not just symptoms. And, in the nicest possible way, they genuinely don’t want to see you for any longer than is needed to heal the issue. I need to do my part, but it is much easier to do something when you feel you are in confident and capable hands.Strong recommendation. Give them a try.
Stephen is the best at what he does. I had seen multiple people before who were unable to help. Stephen stripped everything back and focused methodically on the actual causes leading to a positive outcome. Can’t recommend him and the Clinic enough.
I went to see Stephen Mankinde after spending over 3 years without being able to walk, let alone run, due to acute nerve pain in both feet. Having seen countless doctors, gone through surgery which made the pain worse, I was told I would never walk normally again. I went to see Stephen without any real expectation since other osteopaths/physios were also clueless.Meeting him has simply been life-changing. After our first appointment, my pain levels reduced dramatically and over the course of the following months I was able to start leading a normal life again. I now run again 3 times a week and am well on my way to complete recovery. I could not recommend Stephen highly enough…
I have been a athlete since I was a child so I have seen many many people over the years, and recently had a baby and have had issues with my back etc since. I am overly impressed by the level of knowledge and professionalism of perfect balance. I’ve come to them over the years for many different issues and have NEVER walked away without the problem being fixed. I couldn’t recommend more and wish I had found them so much sooner. Completely life changing. Thank you so much
I've been going to Perfect Balance for almost a year now for various different running and martial arts injuries and have always had an incredibly positive experience and seen immediate improvement. I see Stephen Makinde who's a magician! He's always able to get rid of the pain and give effective exercises to prevent further injury. He's also incredibly warm and personable. I'd recommended him and the clinic to anyone who needs fixing!

Keone has helped me rebuild my strength after an injury, and now I feel confident to continue my marathon training.I highly recommend him for any sports injuries. He not only gives you the right exercises but also keeps you updated on your progress and how your mobility is improving, which I haven’t experienced elsewhere. If you don’t quite understand something, he’ll go above and beyond to explain it in a way that works best for you.

I've been working with Keone for a year now, and I'm extremely happy with the progress I've made. After dealing with a hip problem that left me uncertain if I’d ever manage daily tasks again, Keone’s expert guidance and clear, tailored instruction have been key to my recovery. Thanks to his personalized approach and continuous support, I'm now back to normal. I highly recommend Keone to anyone seeking top-quality care!

Exceptional experience with the physiotherapist Rachel! Professional, knowledgeable, and caring. Tailored treatment plan that yielded noticeable improvements. Highly recommend for anyone seeking effective rehabilitation and personalized care.The only reason I am not rating 5 stars is the billing department who one week repeatedly contacted me several times in one day about payment which had already been processed. It was borderline harassment.

I saw your osteopath Sophie Howe. She manipulated my injury on my ankles it hurt so much I couldn’t walk afterwards I was limping. She told me to go have a so-called gait scan at their Hatfield clinic (wrote a review) she actually made my ankle worse and it’s more sore than it was before. She told me to make an appointment a whole month later. What a waste of my time this was. Avoid this establishment!!

I started seeing Rachel Vialou-Clark last year when I had severe pain in my neck and arm. Rachel was amazing from the very 1st session, she was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable at every appointment. I had neck surgery in Jan 2021 and have been seeing her in the recovery phase where again she has been amazing, she has always gone above and beyond and I could not recommend her enough. Thank you very much Rachel I am now almost 100% and would not of been able to with your support.

I’ve been seeing James for Sports massage to help with a running problem. He has been great, he has not only sorted my problem out and given me exercises to help improve, but has helped me with a recent back problem to get me to the start line of an upcoming race.James is very friendly, incredibly knowledgable and I can’t recommend him highly enough.

Stephen is a WizardI saw Stephen after my neck locked up playing golf. He managed to see me last minute the next day and diagnosed the issue straight away. After initial treatment he restored some movement and made me aware of how it would feel over the next few days. After a 2nd treatment it is now almost at full movement and pain is minimal. He also addressed other issues in my hips which may be a factor in the overall cause of the problem. Thanks for sorting me out!

Stephen at Perfect Balance is absolutely the best! After an extremely traumatic accident, paralyzing me on my left hand side & endless other injuries - I was in so much pain I could hardly get out of bed ever. I started seeing Stephen and, with a loving & caring attitude, he has totally given me back the life in my life! He's done more for me than any other specialist surgeon, I will be eternally grateful to him
