Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability (Chartered Society of Physiotherapists) and at our Practice, treatment is provided based on each patient’s individual needs.

We believe and encourage the maintenance of good health for people of all ages and help patients to manage their pain and prevent disease through education, awareness, empowerment and active participation in their treatment using both a hands-on and hands-off approach.



At Sammy Margo Physiotherapy , physiotherapists are instrumental in helping patients with physical and emotional problems have a good quality of life. Many people receive physiotherapy, for example, as a result of a medical condition, after an operation or an accident or if you have a neurological disorder.

Patients are treated either at their home once they are discharged from hospital or in our clinics based in Hampstead Highgate and Totteridge.

Our physiotherapists specialise in treating a variety of different conditions, often working in teams to achieve world class patient care.


These specialties include:

  • Musculoskeletal physiotherapy

  • Neuro-physiotherapy

  • Cardiovascular care

  • Respiratory care

  • Stroke rehabilitation

  • Burns and plastic surgery

  • Health services for elderly people

  • Oncology and palliative care

  • Paediatric (children’s) physiotherapy

  • Pelvic Health

  • Amputation

  • Vertigo
