I would highly recommend this practice and also say how pleasant and helpful are the people working there.”Edith, Ealing (Sep 2024)
“I used this physiotherapy service for two years, following serious hip and leg fractures. Tim Knight was never anything but encouraging and willing to explain. I am now fully functioning for everyday activities and able to walk several miles without any mobility aid. At 79 this is a really good result. I am very grateful.”J, Ealing (Sep 2024)
“From the lovely reception team to the meticulous physio Tim Knight , I have had two years of rehabilitation. In the early stages they even saw me across the road. I am capable of more than I ever thought possible.”Jenny, Ealing (May 2024)
“I can't thank Ann McLaughlin Physiotherapy enough for helping me reduce the swelling of my foot following surgery and 18 months of failed treatments/therapy. I thought it would never get back to normal. But Tom’s experience and skill enabled just that via a series of exercises and direct manipulation of the swollen area. Thank you Tom and thank you AMP. I would definitely use this physio again”.Judy, West London (April 2024)
“I was referred to Ann McLaughlin Physiotherapy by my GP following a consultation regarding a lower back injury. Tom was brilliant in providing a combination of massage and a range of exercises. Tom was really positive in providing encouragement and motivationI am a keen and regular runner and the back pain had prevented me from running, The pain had been both severe and prolonged and I was increasingly concerned about longer term implications. Tom was able to reassure me that my back trouble was/ is most likely to be muscular and with the appropriate exercise and massage I could recover and get back to running. I am happy to highly recommend Tom and Ann McLaughlin Physiotherapy.”Peter, Ealing (April 2024)

“I was very apprehensive when I first contacted the clinic as I had suffered from back pain for several years and found no successful way to combat it . I was also worried that I might find myself intimidated by masses of exercise machines and practise sessions.
My first sight of the Clinic set modestly in a local, residential road was very reassuring and once inside I was immediately struck by the friendly atmosphere and comfortable surroundings. I was soon assigned to a Physiotherapist with whom I felt at ease . The initial session was long enough to discuss my condition and the best practise to help me. The Clinic is well set up and the I was treated in a room with all that was needed and a lovely view of the garden.
I had several sessions with the physiotherapist . He has a friendly manner and a gentle approach which really helped me. With his advice , skill and expertise I was able to start a series of exercises which have been very beneficial to me . I was not overwhelmed by these , so have been able to practise them at home without special equipment and without pain. I noticed, also , that the Clinic offers Pilates classes although I didn't feel ready to take part in them at that time.
I strongly recommend the Ann McLaughlin Clinic for any one who is suffering from back pain, They will find, as I did, its warm friendly atmosphere very unthreatening ,that it is staffed by team of highly trained Physiotherapists who provide help and and understanding in the most beneficial way and a very helpful Reception team.”Jennifer, Acton (April 2024)
“I appreciated the professionalism of the physiotherapist who treated me. He asked pertinent questions and examined and treated me effectively. The exercises were extremely useful and he did not attempt to continue treatment when it was no longer necessary. I would recommend using your practice to anyone with similar needs.”Barbara, Ealing (April 2024)
“Tim has been a great help following a hip replacement, giving encouragement and advice, always with sympathy and understanding. Thanks to his efforts (and the exercises) I am now completely fit again. I have no hesitation in recommending the practice.”Moira, Ealing (2023)
“Never been disappointed , always got me right. Last time I came needed some extra support. Tim gave me a contact for what I needed. I took advice from him and now very pleased with the outcome. Tim would always be my first port of call. . Obviously every one else I have seen gives the same service.”Ann, Ealing (September 2023)

“I’ve nothing but praise for the treatment I have had at the clinic from excellent physiotherapists. And I’m still doing the exercises I was given!”Elwyn, Ealing (July 2023)
“I have been a patient of Tim's for about 15 years with various fractures, torn tendons, back pain, creeping arthritis and other age related ailments. Without him I would not still be riding my bicycle, would have had to have a shoulder operation and would not have such a fabulous list of exercises, which I do every morning.Tim has become a dear friend and so have all the staff at the clinic, including dear Ann. The professionalism, efficiency and friendliness are of the highest standard. I always came away totally supported and encouraged! How can I add a sixth star to the five?”Jutta, Richmond (July 2023)

“Tim has always treated me and he has been a very great help in improving my walking. I seem to have reached the best result now so I have not made an appointment to come but if my walking deteriorates I will make an appointment with Tim again. I would recommend your practice to anyone needing such help. Please thank Tim for all his sterling efforts on my behalf.”Tessa, Ealing (May 2023)
“I received personalised and efficient treatment. It was wonderful to feel better straight away, and following the exercises I started a steady climb to complete recovery.”Christine, Ealing (May 2023
“Dear Tom,
I have been meaning to update you on my progress and am writing to thank you for your recent help. The two sessions of treatment improved my back a lot and I was very grateful for your help and advice and friendly and relaxed manner.I do sometimes get the pain down the outside of my right leg but it doesn't last long and reminds me that , despite the improvement in my back, I should probably still do the exercises!
Your help enabled me to go on that long car journey and so I was able to have a short holiday in Wales with my daughter. It was so refreshing to be walking in the countryside.... and was something I would never have thought possible a fortnight earlier!
I often write my diary in the form of poetry so thought you may be interested in reading the poem I wrote about my back.... a couple of days before I saw you.
When will I be on the mend
And will this pain ever end?
So many tablets, I now feel sick
And move around with a walking stick.
But most of the time I can't move at all
Or hobble and hold onto the wall.
Paracetamol, with syllables five,
At present help me to survive.
When they wear off I scream and yelp.
I hope the physio will be able to help.
Can't do a thing with this awful back.
May as well just hit the sack....
So thank you again for all your help.”

“I just wanted to praise your staff member Sarah, who deals with the elderly patients. My father in law was recently in Ealing Hospital. He is 94, during his stay he became immobile. Was sent home with very little after care. We contacted your practice and Sarah visited today with extremely positive results. We are so grateful to her.”

"I have been a client of Ann McLaughlin’s clinic and always have the physio sessions to be of a high standard and good value.”Richard, Ealing (June 2021)
"Would you pass on to Tom my huge thanks for his superb care after my hip replacement? I did a six mile walk along the Thames on Sunday. (there was a seal sunning itself on a concrete slipway ) His treatment was exceptional. I followed his advice to the letter as I had confidence in his judgment and experience."Mary, Ealing (March 2021)
"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you to Sangna for her help. I tore a calf muscle in January and last Friday I ran a sub 50 minute 10k, the fastest I’ve ever done."
Chris Smith, Ealing (May 2020)
