Reform Physiotherapy Pilates & Movement - Greenford

Without doubt the best Physio around the Perivale area. I had been mis diagnosed after visiting another physio in the area but Matt was able to help me relieve my Back/shoulder issues. He was very professional from start to finish and helped me get from limited upper body mobility, back to gym and sports in a safe way. He could have easily made me take many sessions to get me back to full fitness but I only saw him twice and there were results right away. I am planning to return to him for a long term knee injury. I can’t recommend him enough and have researched a lot of physios in the area, none which have the experience or credentials that Matt has.

I visited Matt on a colleagues recommendation. I had injured my lower back in the gym in the days prior to my visit and was really struggling with day to day tasks; walking, climbing stairs and even getting out of bed were very painful, let alone any exercise. Matt was very friendly, personable and professional. He guided me through a series of movements and assured me that my injury was very likely to be muscular, which was a relief. Matt provided me with the guidance of particular stretches and movements I should complete to aid my recovery, which of course was very useful. Given my particular injury Matt advised to continue training but at 20-50%. However it was Matt’s advice on the psychological side of my recovery which really stood out and definitely went some way in contributing towards my recovery. I cannot recommend Matt enough.

I recently visited Reform to see Matt after a recommendation from a friend. Whilst calling to enquire about treatment, Matt took the time to find out as much as possible about my injury over the phone to ensure that we could hit the ground running.

With experience in a professional football setting, it was clear that he had a ground understanding of my issue and the potential causes of my injury. A quick diagnosis and method of prevention/treatment meant that I was able to continue playing football without the pain that I had been experiencing, this was surprising as I had expected that I would need to take some time out to allow for recovery.

Since my visit, Matt has been in touch to check up on the problem and he shows a genuine concern for the people he treats. I would 100% recommend Reform and will be seeing Matt again with any future injuries.

Matt is a welcoming and knowledgeable physiotherapist who orchestrated my speedy recovery from a torn hamstring in a fraction of the time I thought it would take.

I was skeptical about using a physio but Reform was recommended to me by a friend and I was pleasantly surprised by the focus and intention in everything that we did.

Matt made sure he knew all of the facts around my injury before our first session so that we were ready to dive straight in when I arrived. He set out a detailed plan for me (which must have taken a lot of time to draw up) and gave me a date to get back to sports; from thinking I would not play for the rest of the season to playing 90 minutes of football after just over four weeks! Matt encouraged me to call him whenever I had any setbacks and I did initially have a lot of fear in what I could do (due to pain) but this was allayed after speaking to him.

Matt has checked in with me numerous times since to make sure that everything is going well and I couldn't recommend Reform highly enough. Extremely professional service and will certainly be going back with any issues in the future.

I was already attending Pilates classes (which are excellent) but when I injured my ankle badly it was an obvious choice to ask Matt for physio. I can't rate him highly enough. He really understood my issue. It was a footballers injury and as an ex footie physio he was an expert and had treated scores. But what really counted was that he knew I has had a previous injury which never properly healed which was colouring my attitude. He took the time to explain the pain response to me, how swelling happens, the structure of the foot etc so that I understood all the twinges and aches I was experiencing and how not to let them hold me back from movement. With a mixture of acupuncture, manipulation and exercises I have made a great recovery in pretty quick time. Matt really really cares about his clients and I found the whole experience so posative. Absolutely recommend Matt 100 percent !

After my partner was let down massively by NHS I decided to go private on the physio to help him recover. I was wary of the cost but we could not wait and in reality the cost with Matt was well worth it because it worked! Acute sinusitis, blood infection and totally seized up neck and shoulder muscles combined with shoddy diagnosis had left my partner in a total state! Matt used massage, acupuncture and exercise but most importantly he listened to help fine tune and understand the issues. When I asked him later what helped you get better the most he said, "Matt did!"

I decided myself to also go to Matt for physiotherapy to try and investigate a few niggling problems and to get to the root of why I keep injuring myself. I have been to other physiotherapists before about the same problems but nobody else could work out why I was experiencing pain. Matt was able to understand the problem and recommend not just exercises but mental approach which has helped me to regain confidence and learn how to work within current strength, thus preventing further injury.

We also go to Matt for Pilates which has been a fantastic experience. I've done Pilates before in a class setting and although I enjoyed it I didn't understand it properly until we started the sessions with Matt. He is able to fine tune the exercises and really teach them to a level of detail whilst still retaining the fun and not becoming overly pedantic or labored. I have found that what I have learned has helped me with other forms of exercise (dance, jogging, swimming) and has also helped me to move more safely when I do gardening. It is also an excellent form of injury prevention.

If you are looking for physiotherapy or Pilates I can totally recommend Matt. I have quite some experience in movement including intensive swimming training as a child and teenager followed by teaching and coaching of swimming, netball, jogging and 30 years of regular dance training in classical, contemporary and jazz. I've dabbled in gym and group exercise classes. What I've noticed with the many different teachers that I've had is that they are good in certain areas but perhaps not so aware in others. What I've noticed with Matt is that he is excellent at seeing the overall picture and also in understanding the psychology of injury, pain and physical training. You won't be disappointed 🙂

Definitely a five star review!

Matt has some great credentials which he fully lives up to! Having completed the full NHS physiotherapy course, my anterior knee pain flared up again and the GP just offered me Naproxen. I decided to seek some private help for the first time in my life. Matt was very thorough in his approach and was able to deal with the psychological side of recovery extremely well. I have already recommended a couple of family members to him.

After being involved in a car accident I was advised to seek physiotherapy, and I’m glad I chose to go with Reform. Matt has been excellent from the beginning and is a highly knowledgeable and professional physio, which is also pretty evident from his work in Premiership football.

Following the accident the pain I had in my neck and back made me nervous to get back into my usual routine of workouts and sports, and I was also worried that my range of movement would be affected for a significantly longer period of time.

However, Matt found the source of the problem very quickly and has helped me to understand the cause of my pain and put to bed any fears I had around it. Rather than treating me with a short term focus on immediate pain relief, Matt has given me a plan that will allow me to manage the pain on a long term basis, with the ultimate goal of building up my flexibility and strength in that region, so that I no longer feel that pain. He is also mindful of the fact that everyone is built differently, and so will tailor his approach to treatment to the individual, as he did for me. Already I feel less fearful about returning to playing sport, and hope to do so in the near future.

Thanks Matt for putting my mind to rest so quickly – I would definitely recommend Reform for anyone who needs physiotherapy, and wouldn’t hesitate to return if needed!
