"I had an amazing experience with Desmond, I have been suffering with back pain for years which has affected my fitness journey. I can wholeheartedly say that he was so attentive to my pain and we took each session at a pace I could handle. I would most definitely recommend booking with Desmond at Sprint Physio. After a few sessions with him and sticking to his workout plan consistently I have most definitely noticed a positive change! 5 stars from me."

"I saw Des the physio who is one of the most knowledgeable professionals I have ever met, he got straight into giving me ultrasound, later acupuncture and finally an excellent routine to help me prevent the problem happening again."

"My son had an amazing experience in physiotherapy — he was seen by Desmond. He was amazing with my child, very friendly. My child is much happier now, no longer suffers from pains and his back is doing his favourite sport, football. If anyone is looking for a physiotherapist I will recommend him."

"Desmond is a very knowledgeable MSK physiotherapist. His focus on strengthening areas of weakness through exercise and his combined expertise through being a qualified PT mean he's able to offer long term solutions so the pain doesn't just come back again and again! I would highly recommend Desmond!"

"That Desmond lad is top notch, really sorted my shoulders out and also gave me a few tips for home stretches and strengthening techniques. I tell you what, anyone that goes there and doesn't book this lad is completely deluded! Thanks SprintPhysio!!!"

"I was extremely impressed by both the quality of the studio and the level of professionalism of the team. Desmond has been careful to observe all aspects of my injury, my current situation, my objectives. From day one a plan was made to ensure my recovery takes place in the best possible way. Throughout my life I have unfortunately visited quite a few different physio studios and I would definitely recommend both Sprint and Desmond to anyone seeking excellence in their recovery."

"I attended this clinic and had Desmond as my physiotherapist. He was very knowledgeable and gave me good advice regarding my Achilles Tendonitis — a few sessions with him and I am finally cured after years of agony. Great service for sure!"

"I visited Sprint Physio for 3 different problems and I am extremely happy about the help I received! Desmond takes his job very seriously, explains properly what the issue is and what kind of treatment will be done to improve my problems. I am very happy and will continue to visit here for any other future problem."

"I was treated by Desmond at Sprint Physiotherapy — he did a thorough assessment and diagnosed my shin splints injury. Under his treatment and guidance I was able to continue to train and reached my goal to run the Paris Marathon in well under the time I was aiming for! Thank you so much!"

"I have been having physio with Desmond Thomas over the past few months to assist with injuries sustained to my right shoulder and lower back. Desmond has been a fantastic help especially because of his ability to combine his experience as a physio and a personal trainer. He has provided me with highly personalised training plans as well as a wide variety of treatments including acupuncture, ultrasound therapy and massage therapy. Desmond is particularly keen on his patients understanding the causes of their injuries and his proposed treatment schedule for recovery."

"Desmond is great. Really supportive and friendly, good at diagnosing the issues and utilising a number of different techniques to manage my condition. Also very efficient — would always send exercise programmes straight after the meeting and follow up quickly."

"I've recently been treated by Desmond and he has been excellent. He is clearly very knowledgeable and has helped reduce my knee pain significantly. Highly recommend!"

"Desmond Thomas has been a fantastic help in treating a repeated, long-term calf problem — quickly identifying and solving the problem. Definitely recommend."

"I have been receiving physiotherapy treatment at Sprint for the last 2 months and I'm very happy with the progress. I'm having my therapy with Desmond Thomas and he has been very professional, friendly, experienced and a motivator. So far everything is perfect and I'm looking forward to the next challenge."

"Desmond is amazing. I've seen a number of physiotherapists and he is the best by far. None have been as knowledgeable or as genuine. Highly recommend."

"I can't recommend Desmond Thomas enough! I came in with some problems to my shoulders and he did a very thorough assessment. The treatment was top notch and he gave me some really great exercises which has helped me feel a whole lot better!"

"I saw Desmond today for shoulder pain. His diagnosis was very thorough and comprehensive. Very professional physio and the office staff was extremely pleasant. The office is very clean and comfortable. 103% in my book."

"I have had excellent help recently from Desmond with neck and shoulder problems as well as tennis elbow. He is very skilful, knowledgeable and personable and I would highly recommend him."

"Desmond at Sprint has been hugely helpful getting me back to running after I sprained my ACL!"

"Had a very good initial assessment with Desmond. He was both knowledgeable and pleasant. I felt like I was in good hands."

"I have been attending physiotherapy sessions with Desmond since December for shin, knee and lower back pain and can honestly say that I have seen a difference. The first couple of weeks focused on rehab before turning into full blown gym sessions. Desmond also creates hyper focused plans for you to practise at home/gym, which have drastically changed the way I get to move."

"Des is very friendly and knowledgeable and diagnosed my condition quickly of tennis elbow and cubital tunnel syndrome. Des has created a training plan for me and is very helpful and supportive with showing me the exercises. During my sessions Des has carried out treatments of soft tissue massage, dry needling and acupuncture. I have only had 3 sessions so far but felt an improvement after my first session of dry needling and now have less pain in my elbow after acupuncture."

"Desmond is a great physio. His approach to rehab combines hands-on therapy, tailored exercises, and strength work in the gym to deliver a truly all-rounded path back to full fitness. Even after just a few sessions, I've felt real progress — not only have I recovered, but there's a pathway to come back stronger."

"I've been working with Desmond after a running injury at Third Space City. Desmond was really thorough in his diagnosis and we've been doing some intensive gym and strengthening sessions for the past few weeks. Feeling stronger, pain free and looking forward to getting back to injury free running. Recommend highly."

"Desmond gave me a really great physio experience, it was clear he knew what he was doing. I definitely will be returning for more sessions."

"Desmond was a huge help when I injured my hip. He thoroughly assessed and quickly worked out what the issue was, then got to work with some acupuncture. After seeing him, I'd gone from being in serious pain for months, to feeling none! He's also just a very nice person to be in the presence of and always brings a great energy!"

"Desmond was the best physio I could have asked for! Guided me through every step of my recovery, was amazed how quickly he got my shoulder back to full motion!"

"Perfect experience with Desmond Thomas! Only one week into rehab, after a shoulder anterior stabilisation surgery, and already seeing and feeling progress! Thomas is friendly, attentive, cautious!"

"I've been seeing Desmond after a shoulder injury. It's still early days in my recovery, but Desmond is knowledgeable and encouraging. The sessions are positive and the clinic has a good atmosphere."

"Working with Desmond on trapped nerve issues. Immediate results. Thank you!!"

"Great experience, really professional! Either professional physio therapist and personal trainer."

"Had my first session with Desmond last week — he's professional, made me feel comfortable straight away and following the initial assessment he clearly explained the issue and treatment plan. After the session I immediately felt an improvement and left feeling very positive. Highly recommend."

"Desmond was great! Really informative and took the time to go through everything step by step with my shoulder. I left feeling confident and now have a clear plan to get it sorted. Highly recommend!"

"Had my initial appointment with Desmond and everything was well explained. Also felt much better after it. Very much recommended! Edit: had my 4th appointment with Desmond — his support and advice is impeccable. After a 360 degree SLAP surgery he coached me into a state I have not believed possible in this short amount of time."

"Desmond's physio and MSK skills have helped me a lot. Through acupuncture he has managed to reduce the number of days a month I suffer from migraine from 4 to 1."

"Both of my daughters, who are gymnasts, have been seeing him for their sports-related aches and pains. His advice, treatment and the exercises he gives have been incredibly helpful and make a real difference. He explains everything clearly, focuses on proper recovery, and helps prevent the issues from coming back. We are very grateful for his professionalism and care. A specialist you can truly trust!"

"I came to Ultra Sports Clinic at Bank to receive physio for a rotator cuff injury. Before, I had visited three separate physios at different companies, all of whom gave me completely different diagnoses; none of them worked. At Ultra Sports Clinic I truly feel that the exercise programme, along with weekly soft tissue release and acupuncture, is really making a difference. Huge thanks to Desmond Thomas — truly a top tier physio!"

"I had an excellent taster session with Desmond. He helped me understand my rotator cuff and shoulder impingement pain, as well as how it relates to my boxing training. He quickly identified that my injury was caused by over-training, and showed me that the way I was throwing my right hook was contributing to the pain. It's amazing to find someone who can combine physio, personal training and boxing knowledge all in one. I highly recommend Desmond — he will be my physio now."

"Highly recommend Des, great physio!"

"Amazing service! Desmond was very professional and is great at what he does. Would definitely recommend."

"Second time going to Ultra Sports Clinic and had the best experience. Now seeing Desmond who has been brilliant. Injured my back in the gym and have already started to feel relief from one session following acupuncture, which I never tried before. He made me feel comfortable and was great at explaining each step. Couldn't recommend enough!"

"I had an initial consultation with Des today — he was super friendly and knowledgeable, explaining everything very clearly. I trust he'll help me recover effectively!"

"I've been seeing Desmond for physiotherapy after breaking my elbow (olecranon) and having surgery, and I honestly couldn't recommend him enough. From the very first session, he made me feel completely relaxed and at ease. Each session has been incredibly helpful in improving my movement and strength, and he always takes the time to explain what we're doing and why. If you're looking for a physio who's professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about your recovery — I'd highly recommend Desmond!"

"I had a wonderful experience with Desmond. He is well informed and knowledgeable and explained clearly to me the reasons I was suffering with neck and shoulder pain. He used both acupuncture and joint mobilisation to relieve the tension and I've been pain free for two weeks! Would 100% recommend!"

"Over the last year, Desmond's care, advice and kindness has changed both my physical and mental health. I have struggled with hip pain for 10+ years until I saw Desmond who reviewed my MRI scans and provided me a personalised treatment and exercise plan. Since then, my pain is pretty much non-existent, which has changed my life drastically. I would HIGHLY recommend paying him a visit — a highly skilled professional with the utmost compassion!"

"Had a great experience with Desmond Thomas for my lower back pain. He quickly identified the issue, explained the recovery plan clearly, and started the treatment process right away. Would definitely recommend."

"Saw Desmond Thomas after experiencing pain in my hip. He was fantastic, super clear with the diagnosis and laid out things I could and couldn't do. Exercises for rehabilitation were provided via email, all of which were clear and included videos showing proper technique. Would highly recommend."

"Desmond is a great physio — I was referred to him post-shoulder operation. He gave me confidence to start my rehab with mobility exercises and relieved a lot of tension in my shoulder via massage and acupuncture. I'm looking forward to the journey and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."

"Had another great experience with Desmond. The acupuncture made a big difference in managing my lower back pain again. I also really value that he incorporates gym-based training into the treatment. It's like getting the benefits of a physio and a PT in one go."

"I've had a great experience with physiotherapy at Ultra Sports Clinic. Being monitored in a gym setting rather than just a clinic has benefitted my recovery immensely. My physio, Desmond, is able to demonstrate and ensure I'm doing the rehab exercises properly, rather than just having me do them on my own. This service is really unique and I will definitely return for all of my rehab needs!"

"100% recommend — great experience with my physio (Desmond Thomas)! He really took the time to understand my injury and adapt the sessions to what I needed. The treatment was a great mix of massage, acupuncture, and gym-based rehab. Being based in Third Space is a big plus — having access to the gym during the session makes a huge difference."

"Des was awesome. We worked through my upper neck and back pain with some needling. We are now focusing on rebuilding strength with targeted exercises."

"Des was great and diagnosed quickly. Thanks!"

"Des, the physio, quickly diagnosed my injury and created a PT plan that I've found challenging but enjoyable to address it. The sessions have been fun and I feel like I'm making progress back toward fitness."

"Great session with Des, highly professional and experienced, diagnosed me and explained everything in such an easy way, massage helped my pain immediately. Recommended!"

"The service at this clinic has been great. I was seen by Desmond who quickly and thoroughly assessed my knee, which I'm seeing great improvement in. I highly recommend him. The facilities were also excellent and has everything you'll ever need."

"Desmond is a friendly and professional physio. He keeps detailed records of his diagnoses so that nothing is missed. He delivers excellent on-site treatment and also gives me personalised training advice to speed up my recovery."

"Dez gave amazing service and answered all the questions I had with accuracy. 10/10 experience and service."

"Desmond Thomas physiotherapy helped me a lot with a shoulder and back injury. My advice is to be patient and trust the process — you may need at least 3 sessions of acupuncture, muscle work and treatment before seeing the results. Desmond is a specialist who will give you the best chance of overcoming an injury."

"Desmond at Ultra Sports Clinic is incredibly knowledgeable and takes a thorough approach to treatment. He explains every element of the plan clearly — not just what I need to do, but why it matters. I've also learnt a lot from him about how to train in a way that works with my body going forward, which has been invaluable!"

"I had a taster session with Des. I've wanted to start boxing for a while but had been very hesitant. Des showed me great warm up exercises and also great techniques on the pads which I'll definitely be using going forward. Other than great physio, he'd make a great personal trainer too! Definitely coming back."

"I had my initial consultation with Des for knee rehab after being referred by a consultant. He was fantastic from start to finish — extremely knowledgeable and professional. Have now booked a number of follow up sessions and would highly recommend."

"Desmond took time out of his day to speak to me about being a physiotherapist and gave me great advice as a student who is looking to become a physio in the future. He was great and made me feel very comfortable. I will recommend other students to speak to him too because even though he has a busy schedule he takes time out of his free time to help out."

"I recently went to Third Space in Canary Wharf to see physio Desmond, and it was genuinely a great experience. The visit gave me a real sense of what a career in physiotherapy is like and even helped me think more clearly about my master's application, thanks to his advice. I genuinely hope more people visit this branch, as they really care about your progression, whether you're recovering from an injury or working towards specific physical goals."
