Physiotherapy can help you create the life you want.

I am Ruth Smith, an expert physiotherapist and clinical Pilates instructor with over 20 years experience having qualified in 2002 from Kings College London. I am registered with The Health and Care Professions Council, The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and trained in clinical Pilates with Australian Physio and Pilates Institute and Polestar.


I was inspired to be a physio from my involvement in elite sport as a teenager and went on to work in that sport - for the GB kayak team. I have a wide ranging experience from working in the NHS and private practice in clinics and hospitals across London.


My passion is in helping people to move better, without pain and do the things they love! I love sport myself and have done marathons, triathlons, skiing, kayaking, and currently love hiking and indoor climbing.

First Step

I will spend time listening to what the problem is and how it is impacting you. I will ask questions so that I can fully understand and start to get to the root of the issue and a clear diagnosis. I will want to know what your goals are and what is important to you so that we can build an effective treatment plan.

I would then look at how you move, what your strengths are and what your limitations are so that I can see what areas we will need to work on. There may be various tests that I do to either clarify the diagnosis or give a baseline measure of where your body is at the moment compared to where you want it to be.

Treatment Plan

We then put together a treatment plan that is appropriate, effective and realistic for you, don't worry I wont give you a million exercises to do every hour on the hour! I am a rehab physio which means I use movement and exercise to mobilise and strengthen the body, but when needed I also do hands-on treatment to assist this.

The treatment plan may also involve referring you to specialists such as orthopaedic surgeons, sport doctors or a rheumatologist, I have an excellent network of specialists that I work with if this is needed. My aim is to leave you with a full understanding of what the underlying problems are and a clear pathway of how you can resolve them.

Clinical Pilates

I also offer clinical Pilates sessions for those who perhaps are not currently injured but want to train and move well, I will still ask some questions at the beginning to get a clear idea of your body, your needs and goals. We work together to create a bespoke physio-led home Pilates programme for you and your body.

These can be done on a regular basis or ad hoc to support other training. I love working with a whole variety people, from pregnant women wanting to maintain strength through pregnancy, to athletes who want to find that extra 5%.


Going through this process will allow you the opportunity to be pain free, moving well, strong and resilient so that you finally get rid of those injures and niggles and get back to what you love!

• Block of 10: £1000

Testimonials

“I have known Ruth for three years and she is the best physio I have experienced. She not only gets to the bottom of the niggle or injury, but then works on it and finally sets easy to apply exercises to do in between the sessions. Thanks to Ruth’s hard work I am able to stay fit and train (boxing) as many days as I want and play competitive sport including football and motor racing.”

— EDOARDO

"Ruth is fantastic. She is extremely friendly and approachable. She is clearly very experienced and knows a great deal about the human body. She explains any difficulties and exercises very clearly. Ruth has worked with me and both of my teenage children. She has explained everything very clearly to all of us and taken a great deal of time to ensure we fully understand what she is saying and the importance of the exercises. We would highly recommend her."

— JOANNA

“I initially consulted Ruth five years ago when I sustained an injury after taking up running at the age of 57! I was very pleased to find that Ruth was very keen to keep mobile, those of us who are of a ‘certain age’ and was very encouraging. She explained where I was going wrong (basically no core or glute strength) and got me on the road to recovery with an exercise programme that was practical for my age and life style.”

Since then, I have had a few other running related injuries as well as an unrelated impinged shoulder, and on each occasion Ruth was able to ‘put me back together’ and get me moving again. Ruth also introduced me to Pilates and I found her to be an excellent teacher, able to adapt exercises to meet my needs whilst ensuring progression. Ruth has a wonderful manner, and manages to mix professionalism with cheerful friendliness. Ruth is patently very knowledgeable and experienced and I have absolute faith in her. I trust her judgement implicitly and highly recommend her services.”

— STELLA

“Ruth is an amazing Pilates instructor! She is highly experienced in both reformer and mat Pilates, and her knowledge is most impressive. It is an absolute pleasure working out with Ruth, who is not only a true professional but a really lovely person too. I am gaining a great deal from my one on one sessions with Ruth, both in terms of my core strength and general fitness, and cannot recommend her highly enough.”
