Hello,

Does anyone have good recommendations for a physio experienced in climbing injuries based in London?

I took up climbing about 18 months ago, and have been struggling with a muscular imbalance issue around my upper my shoulders and neck recently. I have been seeing my regular physio for a while but things haven't changed too much.

Thanks for any tips.

Cristiano Costa is excellent. He's a climber and excellent with climbing injuries. I saw him re various back, neck and shoulder muscle problems and he really set me on the right track with these. No similar problems in recent years after changing a few things subsequently. He used to have an evening clinic in Westway, although I moved away from London a couple of years ago might be out of touch. Contact details are here anyway:

I would give another recommendation for Cris. I've seen him for various injuries and he knows his stuff, nice guy as well. He's stopped practicing from the Westway, works out of Soho now.

This guy has been recommended to me, but I've no personal experience: http://www.dtphysiotherapy.co.uk/

He's also a climber/mountaineer.

Sarah (climber's clinic) at the Castle climbing centre is great. I have had success recently on a number of historic injuries.

Cristiano is really good. I've been to him twice and he knows his stuff!
