Jess Levine was one of the best physios we've seen! She was very thorough in testing muscle strength, alignment etc. She explained everything in detail and answered any questions we had. The programme set up is perfect & breaks down everything that we wanted to address. Highly recommend!

I went to see Veronica for a sports massage and couldn’t be happier with the experience. She explained exactly what she was going to do and made me feel very comfortable. The treatment was professional, thorough, and really helped relieve the tension and tightness in my muscles. I felt noticeably better afterwards, both physically and mentally. I would recommend Veronica for a sports massage . I’ve rebooked as I feel I need a few more sessions to help with my Injury recovery.

I was so pleased to find Gemma when I was looking for an acupuncturist. She is so professional and always greets you with a smile. I feel safe knowing that she is well qualified to do her job and she is able to answer my questions with confidence. I have not felt pressured into doing more sessions than needed and each time I have made an appointment I have been given time to relax and have been cared for without feeling rushed. I would highly recommend Gemma especially if it is your first time having acupuncture or if you are unsure about having a session.

I can’t recommend Ben highly enough. He treated my daughter’s back pain with exceptional care and expertise. From the very first appointment, he took the time to understand her symptoms, explain everything clearly, and make her feel comfortable. He was friendly, warm and professional and after a few sessions she felt so much better and was sent away with exercises she can do to ensure that she remains pain free
Laura Sloma a month ago
I highly recommend Rui. After developing tennis elbow, Rui carefully listened to my concerns, assessed my condition, and created a personalized recovery plan. My progress has been excellent, with a much faster recovery than I expected. I am now back playing badminton, my elbow is getting stronger every week, and the strengthening exercises Rui recommended have been very effective. Rui is knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for patients. Thank you for all your help and support!

Always a fantastic experience working with Jessica at Bodylogics. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and attentive, and her approach is always reassuring. From the very first session, she took the time to truly listen to my concerns, understand my issues, and tailor a treatment plan specifically for me. I can’t recommend Jessica and the team at Bodylogics enough!

After a tough recovery following my knee replacement, my physio Jess, has been outstanding. Her expertise, encouragement, and personalised approach helped me stay positive and keep making progress, even when things felt challenging. She always takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and adapt my treatment to my needs. Thanks to her support, my mobility, strength, and confidence have improved significantly. I can't recommend her highly enough. Thank Jess you for all your help!
Simon Eardley a month ago
I went to Veronica yesterday evening in agony, with inflammation and tightness in my neck and trapezius muscles which had stopped me turning my neck and left me in a lot of pain. Veronica gave me her time, energy, and her quality massage skills to support the issue, relieving tension in my back, and enabling me today to wake up with reduced pain, and gave me more turning range back in my neck, getting me mobile enough to drive again. I’ve been to body logic several times over the years, and care has always been positive :) worth the spend.
Laura Heard a month ago
I have been using various physio providers for over a year with no success until I have met Ben at Bodylogics in New Barnet. After three sessions I have already made significant progress and growing in confidence day by day with the reduction in pain from my injury. Would definitely recommend Ben.
Chris Theobald a month ago
Working through my recovery from an ACL reconstruction and meniscus partial removal and repair. George Kyriacou at Bodylogics in Winchmore Hill has been great, built me a plan for my recovery and has been progressively increasing the exercises to build strength and stability, helping with a plan that allows me to do most of the exercises at home, really clear instructions and demo’s of the movements that have been tailored to my recovery needs. The knee is feeling stronger every week, thank you George!.
Lucien Fletcher a month ago
George has been great at helping me with my injuries and the improvement in the last two months has been amazing. He goes in to all the details and is really good at explaining all the exercises.
Gemma Wyatt a month ago
Charles Is an example of professionalism. After months of stubborn pain in the neck and shoulder I was nearly giving up on sports. I visited Charles and after 3-4 sessions I felt a significant improvement, the pains almost disappeared. He didn’t just help me to recover but to maintain a healthy and better way of exercising.
Nir Harnik a month ago
I was struggling with persistent tennis elbow that was affecting both my daily activities and sport. After an assessment, physio Rui recommended shockwave therapy. My pain has reduced significantly over the course of treatments, and I have little or no pain, anymore. I will continue my custom exercises to strengthen my tendons. I would highly recommend Bodylogics in treating tennis elbow pain.
Stella James a month ago
Monika, has helped me a lot with a very difficult back problem in the L4-L5 area, which spread to my upper legs. I was concerned that I might need back surgery, but after having intense physio and following the exercise routine, I’ve turned the corner and feel in a much better place. I’ll be resuming light Golf very soon.
Mark Bussandri a month ago
It was my first time visiting a physiotherapist after injuring my knee while running, and I had a great experience. Dan was professional, knowledgeable, and clearly explained what had happened to my knee. He also put together a recovery plan with exercises to do at home and will assess my running technique in future sessions to help prevent further injuries. I’m very happy with the care I received and would highly recommend Dan.

I recently visited Bodylogics for my back pain and had a very positive experience. My physio, Dan is highly professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. He took the time to thoroughly understand my concerns and provided clear, practical guidance for both pain management and strengthening exercises. What stood out most was his hands-on approach and ability to explain things in a way that was easy to understand and apply. After every session, I am feeling more and more confident about managing my condition and making progress. Overall, I would highly recommend him and the team at Bodylogics to anyone looking for expert physiotherapy care.

I saw Eilinoir following a severe fall on my knee and her experience and expertise has made a huge improvement to my mobility. Her prediction of how long my recovery would be was spot-on. She is friendly, knowledgeable and approachable and has helpfully adapted my exercises to incorporate other problem areas. I’m so pleased to be back at reformer Pilates. Thanks Eilinoir!
Alison Monaghan a month ago
Wish that I can give 100 stars! Jason is not only very professional and knowledgeable, but he is also extremely kind and patient. He went above and beyond to assist with my recovery. Lucky to be treated by him. Their admin team is also very nice and helpful. I saw Dan for my follow up session. He is exceptionally professional and kind. It is a great help for my recovery. Thank you!

Chronic Pain assessment at Bodylogics
The Basics

What Is Chronic Pain?

Chronic pain is generally defined as pain that lasts longer than three months, persisting beyond the point at which an injury would normally be expected to heal. It is different in nature from short-term, acute pain, and it can continue even when the original problem has settled.

Over time, the nervous system can become more sensitive, so that pain is felt more readily and is no longer a reliable indication of damage. This is an important shift in understanding, because it means managing chronic pain often involves more than treating a single structure, and that staying active is usually helpful rather than harmful.

Signs to Watch For

How Chronic Pain Affects Life

Persistent pain rarely stays confined to the body alone. People living with chronic pain often experience:

  • Reduced activity and fitness through avoidance of painful movement
  • Disturbed sleep and ongoing fatigue
  • Low mood, frustration or anxiety related to the pain
  • A loss of confidence in the body and its capabilities
  • An impact on work, relationships and daily routines
Our Approach

How We Help With Chronic Pain

Our understanding of chronic pain has advanced considerably, and the most effective approaches recognise that it involves more than the original site of injury. Rather than focusing solely on a single structure, we take a broader view that includes movement, strength, confidence and an understanding of how pain works.

Gradually and safely increasing your activity is one of the most powerful tools in managing chronic pain, helping to rebuild fitness and confidence and to reduce the sensitivity of the nervous system over time. Understanding your pain can itself reduce its impact, which is why education is central to our care.

We begin by taking the time to understand your pain, its history and the effect it is having on your life. This thorough, compassionate assessment is the foundation of a plan built around your individual goals, whatever they may be.

Hands-on therapy can provide valuable relief and help restore movement, while a carefully graded exercise programme rebuilds strength, fitness and confidence at a pace that works for you. Where a wider team is involved in your care, we are happy to work alongside your GP or other professionals to support you as fully as possible.

Your Care May Include

  • Thorough, compassionate assessment
  • Hands-on manual therapy
  • Graded activity & exercise programme
  • Pain education & understanding
  • Confidence & fitness rebuilding
  • Liaison with your GP or wider team

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Chronic Pain Mean Something Is Still Damaged?

Not necessarily. In chronic pain, the nervous system can remain sensitive even after the original injury has healed, so pain is no longer a reliable sign of ongoing damage. Understanding this is an important part of managing persistent pain.

Should I Avoid Activity if It Hurts?

Avoiding all activity usually makes chronic pain worse over time by reducing fitness and confidence. We help you increase activity gradually and safely, which is one of the most effective ways to manage persistent pain.

Can Physiotherapy Help Long-Standing Pain?

Yes. Physiotherapy that combines hands-on treatment, graded activity and education can make a meaningful difference to chronic pain, helping you regain movement, confidence and quality of life even when the pain has been present for a long time.

Do I Need a Referral to Be Seen?

No referral is needed to book with Bodylogics, and you can arrange an appointment directly at any of our four North London clinics. If you intend to use private health insurance, your provider may request a referral first, so it is sensible to confirm with them beforehand.

Which Bodylogics Clinic Should I Visit?

We help people manage chronic pain at all four of our North London clinics in Barnet, Whetstone, Winchmore Hill and Colindale. Let us know your preferred clinic and our team will take care of the booking.
