Assessment
A full hour on your history and how your body actually moves. You leave with a working diagnosis you understand and a clear plan you can actually follow.
Corporate & Workplace Health
Workplace Physiotherapy in London
We find and fix the desk-based factors driving your neck, back and wrist pain, assessing how you actually work, at your chair, screen and keyboard, for individuals and whole teams across London, in clinic, on-site, or by video, so you leave with specific changes that resolve the cause rather than mask the symptom.
What happens at your first appointment
We work out what is really holding you back, then agree the plan with you before you leave.
Your first appointment runs a full 60 minutes: a detailed history, then a thorough examination of how you move, your strength, and the affected area. We explain what we find in plain English and agree a working diagnosis with you.
Treatment starts the same day, and you leave with the first exercises of a plan built around your goal.
Workplace physiotherapy can help to:
Resolve desk-based neck and back pain
We trace the neck, shoulder and lower-back pain back to how your workstation is set up, then fix the root causes so the ache stops coming back every working week.
Fix the workstation and the habit behind it
Specific changes to your chair, screen, keyboard and movement habits target what is actually driving the problem, so you are not treating the same pain again in a month.
Support hybrid and home working
A remote video assessment reads your real home or office setup, so hybrid workers get practical fixes for the desk they actually use rather than a generic checklist.
Roll out care across a whole team
For corporate teams we deliver on-site or remote programmes that reduce desk-based strain across the workforce and help you meet your DSE duties in one coordinated push.
Prevent pain before it takes hold
Getting your setup and movement breaks right early keeps small niggles from building into the persistent pain that costs you focus, comfort and days at your best.
I had a fantastic experience working with Katrina as my physiotherapist. From the start, she was incredibly friendly and genuinely listened to my concerns. She adapted my rehab plan specifically to suit my individual needs and time frame, as I was preparing for a move and had a clear goal to be back playing football. Katrina not only helped me reach that goal right on time, but she also used a variety of techniques, including dry needling and massage, to relieve tightness in the surrounding muscles and support my overall recovery. Her attention to detail, encouragement, and tailored approach made a real difference in my progress. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a physio!

Katrina is outstanding. After struggling with a stubborn Achilles injury, she not only got me pain-free but back to running and sport. Her expertise in acupuncture, massage, and tailored rehab planning is second to none. On top of that, she brings great energy and conversation that make each session genuinely enjoyable. If you need a physio who combines real skill with a personal touch, Katrina is the one to see.

Great experience with Katrina. She helped me with a sprained ankle with a very doable and effective treatment plan. The exercises were not overcomplicated and easy to incorporate into my day to day life which meant that I actually did them and was able to recover within 5 weeks in time to do a tough mudder. Really easy to chat to! Would recommend.

Katrina was great with me! I had a hip injury and expected it to take ages to fix but with the exercises she gave me to do and acupuncture, it all went away quite quickly. I now have exercises I can do regularly in the future and knowledge on how to prevent. Great experience!

Your journey
with Soho Physiotherapy
Everything is built around you. Whether the goal is a marathon or a comfortable commute, we find what is driving the problem, treat it, and build the strength that keeps the fix in place. Our aim is to get you better and give you the tools to stay better for the long term.
Treatment
Hands-on care to settle symptoms and restore movement: joint mobilisation, soft-tissue work and dry needling where they genuinely help, in line with national guidance.
Rebuild
Progressive exercise that returns the strength, control and load tolerance your body needs for work, sport and everything in between. This is the part that makes recovery last.
Perform
A short home programme, sensible loads, and the habits that keep problems rare. Then we discharge you: we don't sell sessions you don't need.
Move well, move freely. That has been the idea since 1997. We settle the symptoms first, then rebuild the strength that stops them coming back, so you finish stronger than when you started.

FAQ
Common questions about
workplace physiotherapy in London
Is an ergonomic assessment the same as a DSE assessment?
A standard DSE (Display Screen Equipment) assessment is a checklist required by UK law for regular computer users. Our clinical ergonomic assessment goes further: we examine the person as well as the workstation, looking at posture, range of motion, and your actual symptoms. Many employers use our assessment to satisfy DSE obligations while delivering more value.
Will my employer pay for this?
Often yes: employers have a legal duty to provide a safe working environment, and many include ergonomic assessments in wellbeing budgets, occupational health, or private medical insurance. We can issue invoices addressed to your employer or their HR provider. Ask your manager or HR team before booking.
Do I need to come into the clinic for this, or can it be done remotely?
Either works. Remote video assessments are often the most practical for hybrid workers: we observe your actual working setup at home or in the office. In-clinic appointments work well when you also want a physical posture assessment. On-site visits are usually arranged through corporate wellbeing programmes.
I already have neck or back pain. Should I book physiotherapy or ergonomics first?
If pain is significant or recent, book physiotherapy first to assess and treat the immediate problem. Schedule the ergonomic assessment alongside or shortly after: fixing the workstation prevents the pain coming back. Many clients combine both as a single course of care, which insurers usually cover under MSK treatment plans.
