Book Initial ConsultationA clinical assessment is the right start when your pain keeps returning, you have seen multiple therapists without a clear answer, or you want to understand your body before committing to treatment. In 60 minutes you get a full movement and load screen, a soft tissue evaluation, and a written diagnosis with a six-week plan. The answer and the map, in one session.
Most musculoskeletal pain is treatable. The reason it keeps returning is not the treatment itself. It is that the root cause was never identified. A clinical assessment in London from an ISRM Level 5 therapist gives you a full body movement screen, a load analysis, and a written diagnosis. Not a guess. Not a generic protocol.
The Clinical Assessment is the right starting point if you have had recurring pain, seen multiple therapists without a clear answer, or want to understand your body before committing to a treatment plan.
Why Hackney chooses Achilles.
Hackney life is active until it isn't. You run on London Fields track most weekends. You cycle along the canal to work. You work from cafes that weren't designed for eight-hour laptop sessions. The stiffness builds gradually. First your shoulders. Then your lower back. You need treatment that understands active lifestyles and addresses the specific restrictions they create.
You live in Hackney. You know Hackney Central, London Fields, Broadway Market, the Regent's Canal. You deal with running on London Fields track, cycling along the canal, working from cafes with poor seating. The problem isn't finding massage in the area. It's finding treatment that understands what your lifestyle does to your body.
Alexander Khang specialises in assessment-led soft tissue therapy. Not generic massage. Not protocol-driven physiotherapy. Targeted work that addresses the specific restrictions your area and lifestyle create.
The clinic is at 260 Pentonville Road, Kings Cross, easily reachable from Hackney. Evening and weekend slots available. Membership plans for regular treatment.
Clinical Assessment: what to expect.
The process
The Clinical Assessment at Achilles is a 60-minute full-body diagnostic session. Alexander takes a detailed case history, performs a comprehensive movement and load screen, evaluates soft tissue quality, and identifies the root cause of your symptoms, not just where you feel pain. You leave with a written assessment report and a clear, personalised treatment plan. This is the right starting point if you have seen multiple therapists without a clear explanation of why your problem keeps returning.

Reviews
What our clients say.
Verified reviews from Google, Fresha and Treatwell.
"I've had sports massage from probably eight different therapists over ten years of running. Alexander is in a different category. He explained what was actually happening in my IT band before touching it, which no one has ever done. Three sessions and the knee issue I'd had for two years is gone. I don't say that lightly."
Sarah M.
"Chronic upper back tension from desk work. I'd tried everything, osteopathy, physio, regular massage. Nothing stuck for more than a week. Alexander found a restriction in my thoracic spine that nobody had identified before and worked on it systematically across four sessions. Six months later and it hasn't come back."
James T.
"Booked the clinical assessment because I'd been told different things by three different physios and had no idea who was right. Alexander's assessment was the most thorough I've had. The written report explained my shoulder issue in a way I actually understood. The treatment plan was logical, not generic. Worth every penny just for the clarity."
