Octopus Clinic: Physiotherapy Osteopathy and Pilates in Blackfriars

I have seen Lucy regularly over the past 12 months for management of a few different health conditions; most recently a hip injury that had forced me to stop running. Lucy quickly identified that I had quite a complex presentation, and I really felt like she treated me as an individual and planned our treatment sessions accordingly, rather than just following a generic process. This made for a very positive experience, and I am very grateful to Lucy for the care and kindness she showed me, as well as her considerable expertise. With Lucys help I progressed from being unable to run at all to completing the London marathon in a Championship qualifying time with no pain at all! I highly recommend Lucy.

I was training for London marathon 2023 when I picked up an injury. I emailed the clinic and requested to see Lucy McDonald as she has fixed a broken me before, they fitted me in the next day- after only a few sessions working on my TFL I was able to run pain free again and completed the marathon with a PB of 4.55. Thanks for getting me to the start line Lucy xxxx

Miracle workers. 6 weeks ago I couldnt even walk due to an ITB issue that occurred on a long run, I was devastated as I had a place in the London Marathon and had been training hard for a sub 4hr time, I now thought it was all over. I was referred to this clinic and Lucy in particular by my sister who has Ben fixed by Lucy before and highly recommended her.I booked. Virtual appointment with Lucy and she was brilliant, she put mind at ease and gave me some hope that I could still run the marathon if I worked hard and followed her plan, Lucy really knew her stuff and spotted some posture issues I had which would contribute to my ITB issues, I was given some daily exercises to do for a week and we then had a follow up appointment which I was then given a rehab training plan. The plan was excellent and very detailed, Lucy and the team were on hand if ever I had any questions and needed advice right until the end. My last appointment was the Tuesday before the marathon where Lucy gave me some great advice for the week building up to the race and also for the big day. I sit here writing this review, feet up recovering from my 3hr 58 min London marathon, which wouldnt have been possible if it wasnt for Lucy and the team, if ever I have any further issues there is only one place for me to go and that is here. Thank you again Lucy and the team.

I am extremely happy to have found Ian Repton as my physio. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and has helped resolve my pain through a well explained, personalised recovery schedule which was tweaked each time we met to ensure the best results. Ian is very friendly in every session and is happy to take the time out to clearly answer any injury specific questions. Highly recommended!
