Posted on Google Holly KeevilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a competitive swimmer I was referred to Minal by a consultant and she has been brilliant ever since. I have had a few different versions of a shoulder injury, and every time she is able to spot exactly the problem, and give me exercises to address it. She also uses dry needling to address muscle tightness, and this has fixed many flare ups. I have recommended Minal to all my teammates and friends, and wouldn’t see anyone else now!Posted on Google IvoneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Minal! From the very first session, she was incredibly kind, caring, and genuinely compassionate. She takes the time to really listen, understand my concerns, and tailor each session to exactly what I need. What truly sets her apart is her encouragement and positivity. On days when progress felt slow, she always found a way to motivate me and remind me how far I’d come. Her reassurance and belief in my recovery made such a difference, not just physically but mentally as well. Thanks to her expertise and consistent support, I’ve seen a huge improvement in my strength, movement, and confidence. I’m so grateful for the impact she’s had on my recovery journey. If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who truly cares and goes above and beyond for her patients, I wholeheartedly recommend Minal.Posted on Google Claire GardinerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was given such a warm welcome from the moment I walked into the Health Grove Clinic from the lovely girls on reception and Minal. The waiting area was spotless and comfortable. I would highly recommend Minal for physio and acupuncture. Her quality and care really stood out for me and expertise.Posted on Google Liz da LuzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Watching my mother go through physiotherapy, I honestly can’t put into words how grateful I am for the care she has received. From the very beginning Minal has been kind, patient, and incredibly compassionate. Minal treats my mother with such warmth and respect, always taking the time to listen and make her feel comfortable and understood.What stands out most is how motivating Minal is. Recovery hasn’t always been easy, but she constantly encourages my mother, celebrates every bit of progress, and gently pushes her to keep going when things feel tough. You can see how much she genuinely cares, not just about the physical improvement, but about my mother’s overall wellbeing and confidence.The difference in my mother since starting treatment has been remarkable. She’s stronger, more mobile, and so much more positive. As a family member, it’s reassuring to know she’s in such capable and compassionate hands. Minal has made a huge impact on her recovery, and we are truly thankful for everything she has done.Posted on Google Lesley RidgwayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Following carpal tunnel surgery and trigger finger release surgery I was fortunate enough to have a very constructive and helpful physio session with Ms Minal Desai, a specialist hand therapist. Minal was very kind and gentle and exceedingly informative about the correct exercises to do going forward. A lovely lady, thank you Minal.Posted on Google Clare Young (UK)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Minal was brilliant. I thought my shoulder was damaged for life. Minal identified the problem, released the muscle, showed me exercises. It was so much better after week 1. Week 2 Minal showed me that I could make fast movements without pain. Since then Ive been using my shoulder normally and building strength.Posted on Google Mehul KapadiaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional care and attention! I visited them for elbow joint pain. Ms. Desai was extremely methodical in understanding the issues, related very well to my lifestyle, sports, gym habits and then did a very structured mix of physio and acupuncture treatment. Within one treatment I got substantial relief and then within 3 sessions had reached a point of total relief. I would highly recommend. I have saved the contact details on my mobile to ensure that this is my first call if ever I needed a physio treatment!Posted on Google Gary LeggTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Minal has been great in trying to resolve my issues and always explains treatments clearly with achievable exercises to do post session.Posted on Google jennifer johnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Minal has been enormously supportive in helping me recover from my surgery for a replacement shoulder. She takes time to get to know her patients & ensures the treatment is personalised to the individual. I would thoroughly recommend.Posted on Google Gopa DesaiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Mrs Minal Desai highly enough. After a cycling accident in 2022 that resulted in a shoulder fracture, I was referred to Minal by my orthopaedic surgeon, Mr G Sforza. I had six physiotherapy sessions with her, and the results were excellent. Her treatment approach, clear explanations, tailored exercises, and helpful videos were instrumental in restoring my left shoulder’s range of movement from very poor to normal. She is highly knowledgeable, professional, and incredibly supportive throughout the recovery process. I am extremely grateful to have been under Minal’s care and would strongly recommend her, especially for shoulder and upper body injuries.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Pre-operative rehabilitation, or prehab, prepares your body before surgery to give you the best possible start to recovery. Improving strength, movement and fitness beforehand, and knowing what to expect, often helps people recover more smoothly afterwards. Your practitioner will assess you, set realistic goals and provide a tailored programme in the weeks leading up to your operation.
Post-operative rehabilitation guides your recovery after surgery, helping you safely regain movement, strength and function. The right programme, started at the right time and progressed carefully, can make a real difference to your outcome. Your practitioner works in line with your surgeon’s guidance and adjusts your plan as you heal.
Recovery after a rotator cuff repair is gradual and carefully staged to protect the healing tendon while restoring movement and strength. As this is upper limb surgery, your rehabilitation would be with Minal, our specialist hand and shoulder physiotherapist. She follows your surgeon’s protocol to guide you safely from early protected movement through to full strength and function.
Rehabilitation after a shoulder replacement helps you regain comfortable, functional movement and build the strength to return to daily life. This upper limb care is provided by Minal, whose specialist shoulder background and links with local shoulder surgeons mean your recovery is in experienced hands. She tailors your programme to the type of replacement and your surgeon’s plan.
After surgery to stabilise the shoulder, careful rehabilitation rebuilds control, strength and confidence while protecting the repair. Minal provides this upper limb rehabilitation, guiding you through a staged programme suited to your procedure. She works closely with your surgical team to support a strong and stable recovery.
Hand and wrist surgery often relies on skilled hand therapy afterwards to restore movement, reduce stiffness and rebuild function. Minal, a member of the British Association of Hand Therapists, provides the splinting and graded exercise programmes these procedures require. She works closely with your surgeon to protect the repair and achieve the best result.
After carpal tunnel or other nerve release surgery, gentle rehabilitation helps settle the area, restore movement and rebuild grip and function. As upper limb care, this is provided by Minal, who will guide your recovery with appropriate exercises and advice. She will also monitor your progress and liaise with your surgeon if needed.
Surgery for tendon injuries or Dupuytren’s contracture usually needs careful, structured hand therapy to protect the repair and regain movement and function. Minal provides the specialist splinting and graded rehabilitation these operations require. She works in close partnership with your hand surgeon throughout your recovery.
Recovery after spinal surgery benefits from carefully graded rehabilitation to restore movement, strength and confidence at the right pace. As this is outside the upper limb, your care would be with Rebecca, our registered osteopath. She supports your recovery alongside any guidance from your surgical team, helping you return to normal activity safely.
After disc surgery such as a discectomy, the focus is on settling symptoms, rebuilding strength and movement, and returning to activity with confidence. Rebecca provides this rehabilitation, combining hands-on treatment with a graded exercise plan in line with your surgeon’s advice. She will adjust your programme as your recovery progresses.
Rehabilitation after a hip replacement helps you regain strength, movement and confidence in walking and daily activities. Rebecca can support your recovery alongside the rehabilitation provided by your hospital team, following your surgeon’s precautions and timescales. She tailors your programme to your progress and goals.
Recovery after a knee replacement relies heavily on consistent rehabilitation to restore movement, strength and function. Rebecca can support your recovery with hands-on treatment and a structured exercise plan, working in line with your surgeon’s guidance. She focuses on helping you regain confident, comfortable movement.
After keyhole knee surgery or ligament reconstruction, a graded rehabilitation programme restores movement, strength and stability for a confident return to activity. Rebecca provides this rehabilitation, progressing your plan carefully in line with your surgeon’s protocol. She supports you from early recovery through to returning to the activities you enjoy.
Foot and ankle surgery often needs rehabilitation afterwards to restore movement, strength and balance and to rebuild confidence in walking. Rebecca supports this recovery with hands-on treatment and a tailored exercise plan, following your surgeon’s guidance. She will progress your programme as your foot or ankle heals.
When a fracture has been treated surgically, rehabilitation helps restore movement, strength and function once healing is underway. Depending on the area, your care would be with Minal for the upper limb or Rebecca for everything else. Your practitioner provides structured rehabilitation matched to your injury and stage of recovery.
Getting back to work, driving and everyday tasks is an important part of recovery, and the right guidance helps you do so safely and at the right time. Your practitioner will advise on pacing, activity and any adjustments that help, tailored to your surgery and your role. The aim is a confident, sustainable return to your normal routine.
Returning to sport after an operation is a gradual process, and going back too soon is a common cause of setbacks. Your practitioner, Minal for the upper limb or Rebecca for everything else, will rebuild the strength, movement and confidence your sport demands. They guide a staged return designed to reduce the risk of re-injury.
Good rehabilitation works hand in hand with your surgical care, following the protocols and timescales your surgeon sets. Both Minal and Rebecca are experienced in working alongside surgical teams and will liaise with them where helpful. This joined-up approach gives you the safest and most effective recovery.
