Athos Physio treats pain and injuries in muscles, joints, tendons and nerves. Most people come to us with back or neck pain, a sports injury, arthritis, or for rehab after surgery.
You don't need a GP referral. We find out what's wrong, explain it clearly, and give you a plan to get back to what you love.
We're inside F45 NQ, a two-minute walk from Piccadilly station and Piccadilly Gardens. That means your rehab happens on a real gym floor, not just a treatment couch.
🛠️ How we treat you
Every plan at Athos Physio follows the same three-step system.
Step 1. Find out why it hurts
We listen to your story, check for anything that needs a GP, and examine you properly. We show you on a 3D anatomy model what's going on, so you understand it.
Step 2. Settle it down and keep you moving
We keep you working and training wherever it's safe. Treatment may include joint mobilisation, soft tissue work and IASTM, a tool-assisted soft tissue technique. You'll get early exercises from your custom rehab plan.
Step 3. Build you back stronger
We rebuild your strength on the F45 NQ gym floor, then test you before you go back to sport, the gym or a full working day.

❓ Physio FAQs
🚨 When to get urgent help instead of physio
Physio isn't the right first step for every problem. Don't wait for an appointment with us if you have any of these.
Call 111 or see your GP urgently: a hot, swollen joint with a high temperature, or feeling hot, cold or shivery; severe pain that came on suddenly, or is getting worse quickly.
Call 999 or go to A&E: chest pain, or sudden trouble breathing (call 999); numbness around your genitals or bottom, new trouble peeing or controlling your bowels, or weakness in both legs (don't drive yourself); you heard a crack, a limb looks misshapen, or it's numb, cold, or blue or grey after an injury; severe pain after a fall, or you can't put weight on your leg (go to A&E).
Each body-area page has its own urgent help list with more detail.
