Physiotherapy & MSK Care Near Richmond
Physio & More is just 2.5 miles southwest of Richmond town centre, at 169 Richmond Road, Kingston upon Thames KT2 5DA. For TW9 and TW10 patients, we are one of the most accessible specialist MSK clinics in southwest London — typically a 10–12 minute drive via the A316 and A307, or a 15-minute journey on the 65 bus, which runs directly between Richmond and Kingston along our road.
The 65 bus departs from Richmond station forecourt and stops directly outside the clinic. Free parking is available on our forecourt for those driving.
We see a high proportion of Richmond patients for cycling and running injuries — Richmond Park and the Tamsin Trail are known hotspots for ITB syndrome, knee pain, and Achilles tendinopathy. Our MSK ultrasound service allows same-day diagnostic imaging without waiting for NHS referral. We also provide viscosupplementation and ultrasound-guided steroid injections for joint conditions, administered by specialist radiologist Dr Robert Henderson. HCPC-registered physiotherapists, GCC chiropractor, and osteopath all available. No GP referral required.
