Assessment
A detailed history, then a thorough examination of movement, strength and the affected area. You leave knowing what is wrong, why it happened, and exactly what we are going to do about it.
Cut the back, neck and shoulder problems that build up across a desk-based team, as physiotherapist Sam Harvey combines workstation assessments with hands-on treatment and practical setup advice, on-site, online or at our three London clinics, correcting problems at the source so your people stay comfortable, at work and productive.
The assessment covers a detailed history and a thorough examination of movement, strength and the affected area. We explain what we find and agree a working diagnosis and plan you understand before you leave.
You go home with a written summary and a home-exercise programme built around your diagnosis and goals, so progress continues between visits.
We treat the neck, shoulder and lower-back problems that come with desk work, so your team is more comfortable and less distracted by pain.
Display screen equipment and workstation assessments aligned with HSE guidance find and fix the setup issues driving musculoskeletal complaints.
Fast, expert access to assessment and treatment helps prevent small problems becoming time off, so your team stays productive.
Practical, individualised setup advice paired with hands-on treatment corrects the cause rather than just managing recurring symptoms.
Sessions run on-site at your office, online or at our three London clinics, so support fits the way your team actually works.
You can self-refer and book directly: no GP letter needed, and every new patient can start with a free 15-minute consultation call. The same fees apply across our Soho, Liverpool Street and Marylebone clinics.
Everything starts with finding the cause. Whether the goal is a marathon start line or a week at your desk without pain, we treat what is driving the problem, then build the strength that keeps it fixed.
A detailed history, then a thorough examination of movement, strength and the affected area. You leave knowing what is wrong, why it happened, and exactly what we are going to do about it.
Hands-on manual therapy combined with a progressive, tailored exercise programme. Sports massage, dry needling, shockwave or Reformer Pilates are added where they help your specific problem.
Coached, progressive strength work restores the load tolerance your body lost, paced to where you start. This is the stage that decides whether the fix lasts.
Each follow-up reassesses you against your baseline, with VALD testing where useful, so your return to work, sport or training rests on measured readiness. Discharge happens by mutual agreement when you can manage independently.
From pain to performance. Pain relief that lasts is not enough on its own: we rebuild the strength behind the pain so it stays gone.

FAQ
A display screen equipment (DSE) assessment reviews how someone's desk-based setup affects their body: chair, desk, screen height, keyboard, mouse, and working posture. Following HSE guidance, we make practical adjustments and explain why each one helps. The aim is a workstation that supports the body through the day rather than contributing to neck, shoulder, or lower-back pain.
Yes. We offer on-site sessions at your workplace for both assessments and treatment, which is convenient for teams and minimises time away from work. We can also see employees at our three central London clinics or remotely for hybrid and home-based staff. Get in touch to discuss the mix of on-site, clinic, and online support that suits your organisation.
Yes. Alongside workstation assessments we provide full physiotherapy treatment for desk-related neck, shoulder, and back pain: hands-on therapy plus a tailored exercise plan, the same care we give in clinic. We address the symptoms and the contributing workstation factors together, so employees get relief now and a lower chance of the problem returning later.
Musculoskeletal problems are a leading cause of work-related sickness absence in the UK. Fast, expert physiotherapy and good workstation setup help keep employees comfortable, at work, and productive, and can reduce recurring complaints across teams. We tailor support: on-site, clinic, or online, to your organisation, giving your people quick access to care without long waits.
Get in touch to discuss your team's needs and we will design a package: DSE assessments, on-site treatment days, clinic access, or remote sessions, in whatever mix suits you. A free initial conversation lets us understand the common issues in your workforce and agree a practical plan. We can scale support from a single employee to a whole department.
