What our patients say about us
I went on a long walk through London in September 2021 and have been suffering with plantar fasciitis in my right foot ever since. I honestly thought I would have to just learn to live with the pain until I discovered shockwave therapy... I have had 5 sessions with Charlie Goodchild so far (1 more to go!) and the improvement is unreal. I am so happy I decided to try out the treatment and Charlie was very knowledgeable and offered a brilliant, honest and friendly service. Highly recommend 👌🏼

I have been treated by Charlie for over a decade for various athletic Injuries. He is extremely knowledgeable and tailors recovery programme based on your needs and level. He is always on hand for good reliable advice I can trust and my overall performance has improved since working with him.

I can't recommend Charlie enough. Not only did Charlie do a super job of supporting my recovery from a ruptured achilles, he has been a catalyst to me improving my general all round approach to fitness management. Without doubt he has been instrumental in helping turn some dark days into an opportunity. Thank you Charlie 🙂

I've always struggled to stay injury free when attempting to improve my running performance. But after working with James Phillips for a number of months on a personalised plan, I was able to finally get that elusive sub 20 5km and set a PB in 10km. I would highly recommend James as a S & C coach.
Patrick H.
James has worked with me since I had a hairline fracture in my pelvis. He has patiently worked with me building my strength, my endurance and my speed. I now run half marathons confidently. James knows me, my capability and sets plans and goals that are challenging and feasible. I feel in the best shape for a while and finally I feel I am training in a way that matches my body’s capability. I have been injury free for 18 months. Thanks James!

Charlie and James are the mutt's nuts. I'd recommend them both - Charlie as a top 'physio coach' and James on the body and conditioning side.
Danny B.
James was a great S&C coach to work with. He took time to understand both my strengths and my weaknesses, and worked diligently to enhance both. His holistic approach helped me to overcome a long term glute/hip problem which was key to my athletic training
Cheriece H.
Charlie is a top quality sports physio. He has looked at my whole profile, as well as my goals, rather than just focus on the injury I initially came to see him with. Charlie also has the perfect manner and certain habitual tips to help me stay motivated and committed to my rehab. Finally, he is so well informed and has given me great content to learn more about certain things we're focused on. 10 out of 10.
Blair F.
For the past 5-10 years I have gone to Charlie whenever I have had any injuries or even just need some good advice on anything physio/health related. Always extremely knowledgeable, personable and has solved any problem I had! Fully recommend!
Darrell B.
Having worked as a physio for over a decade I have routinely referred patients to Charlie with the utmost confidence. He is a leading expert in his field and his clinical knowledge is matched by his great care and empathy for his patients. A fantastic physio and great person. Highly recommended.
Mahmet G.
Charlie is a world class operator. Over a two year period he helped me through a rehab journey of multi-ligament reconstruction in my knee. During this time he of course fulfilled the role of Physiotherapist to the highest degree. However, one cannot overlook contribution he made towards my motivation, persistence and quality of work. I would thoroughly recommend consulting him on any physiotherapy needs one may have.
Sam W.
Charlie is the best. After over six months and two previous physios, he was able to diagnose the problem and by the end of the first session had already alleviated some of the pain and discomfort. Two sessions later I was back running and the exercises he passed on have left me able to run better than I have in years. Highly recommended.
Ash C.
I had known Charlie for years, so when I needed a physio for post-op knee surgery (MCL reconstruction), he was a natural choice.
Immediately our acquaintance was put to the side and his professionalism took centre stage. His knowledge is extensive and he really kickstarted my rehab.
Great guy and a great physio. Always recommended.
Nick M.
