You see Alexander at every session.
Alexander Khang, ISRM Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist and founder of Achilles. He assesses you, finds what is driving the pain, treats it hands on and writes your rehabilitation plan himself. When your plan needs strength work, he coaches it at A Fitness, his training studio in Angel. No handovers, and no starting again with someone new.
Achilles is the Official Soft Tissue and Recovery Partner of Old Streetonians RFC.
Physiotherapy here describes the service: assessment, hands-on treatment and a written rehabilitation plan. Alexander is a soft tissue therapist, not an HCPC registered physiotherapist. If your assessment shows you need one, a doctor or a scan, he tells you and refers you on.

A case from the clinic.
Sciatica · Great North Run 2026
From sciatica to the Great North Run finish line.
Nathaniel S.What it looked like: Lower back pain from long hours sitting at work.
What the assessment found: Long days at a desk were loading the muscles of his lower back and the joint at the base of his spine. When the pain did not settle, testing showed the sciatic nerve was irritated too. That changed the plan, because an irritated nerve needs calming, not pushing. His feet and hips were also adding load on every stride.
“I came in a few weeks ago with an impingement on my sciatic nerve while training for a half marathon, and Alex was excellent from the start. He worked through and released a lot of tight muscles, which made an immediate…”Google review, Kings Cross clinicRead Nathaniel’s case →

What our clients say.
Google reviews from our clinics in Kings Cross and Hampstead.
“After struggling with Achilles tendon pain that had prevented me from running properly for some time. The rehabilitation was structured around gradually increasing my capacity rather than rushing the process. I was given clear guidance on loading, recovery and exercise progression, which made the whole process much easier to understand. Excellent clinical approach and very professional throughout, single handedly by one practitioner only. Highly recommend this clinic for anyone in Hampstead”

“Absolutely excellent therapist. I arrived with horribly tight and tense shoulders and neck and after a thorough consultation I got a thoughtful and bespoke treatment addressing the issues I raised and more I didn’t know were there. Alexander was very professional and polite and clearly knows what he is doing. I will be back!”

“I injured my ankle playing sport a few months ago and was still having stability and flexibility issues. Alexander did a very thorough assessment, getting to the root of the problem and building plan for going forwards - highly recommend!”

Why people from Kings Cross come to us
Most people who find us from Kings Cross are office workers, commuters and travellers. The area is dense with desk-based work, which drives the two problems we see most: lower back stiffness from sitting and neck or shoulder tension from screens. We also treat runners using Regent's Canal and Granary Square, and gym-goers from the studios around Coal Drops Yard. If you commute through Kings Cross, a 60-minute assessment fits before work, at lunch, or on your way home. We find the cause, treat the tissue, and give you a plan you can run between sessions, not just an hour of relief that fades by the next morning.

The practitioner and the price
Are you a registered physiotherapist?+
No. Physiotherapist is a protected title for HCPC registered clinicians, and Alexander is not registered, so we never use it. On this site, physiotherapy describes a service, not a registration. Here is what you get. Alexander is an ISRM Level 5 Soft Tissue Therapist with 6+ years of MSK rehabilitation and 5+ years of strength coaching. He has treated 729 clients across 935 appointments, and coached 109 clients through strength training. Achilles is also the Official Soft Tissue and Recovery Partner of Old Streetonians RFC. You see him at every session, from the assessment to the last one. He finds what is driving the pain, treats it hands on and writes your rehabilitation plan himself, then coaches your strength work at A Fitness, his training studio in Angel. If your assessment points to something that needs a registered clinician, a doctor or a scan, he tells you and refers you on. We work alongside GPs, physiotherapists and consultants, never instead of them.
How much does it cost?+
The Cornerstone, the 60 minute clinical assessment with a written report and rehabilitation plan, is £120.
