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.
Achilles and heel pain · Weekend 5k
It felt like Achilles tendinitis. The tendon was not the problem.
Jane S.What it looked like: Achilles tendinitis: a tendon that needed rest.
What the assessment found: The pain sat where the tendon attaches to the heel, but the tendon itself tested strong. The heel was taking the strain of two things: how her week was shaped, and how her foot meets the ground. Tight calves were adding to the pull.
“A very positive experience of the first session. Alexander explained and assessed my heel and ankle issues thoroughly and gave clear explanations. The soft tissue work has improved ankle and calf stiffness in the 48…”Google review, Kings Cross clinicRead Jane’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 Hackney come to us
Hackney is one of London's most active boroughs. You run on London Fields track, cycle along the Regent's Canal to commute, train at the gyms around Broadway Market, and work from cafes that were not built for eight-hour laptop sessions. That lifestyle drives the problems we see most: lower back stiffness from cafe desks, tight hips and calves from cycling, Achilles and knee load problems from running on hard surfaces. The Achilles approach fits Hackney because it does not stop at relief. We assess how you move and load, treat what is actually restricted, and build a written plan that lets you keep training. If you have been cycling through injuries and they keep coming back, the assessment is where we find out why.

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.
