 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Rose after 2 years of not being able to lift my arm above my head, after a horse riding accident.
Rose explained all available treatments and the benefits, and we came with a plan that I can manage, and now after 7 months of treatment and home exercise, I can lift plates and put them away in the cupboard.
I cannot recommend Rose highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had the pleasure of seeing Rose Carnegie for both Osteopathy and 1-1 Pilates.  Rose is an exceptional Osteopath! - highly competent and professional, with a friendly approach; she seeks to really understand your issues and provide treatment/solutions to solve them.  With Pilates, Rose is again highly competent, challenging, positive and motivational.  Additionally, Therapy & Fitness West Malling is a very well run practice.  I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending both Rose Carnegie and Therapy & Fitness West Malling

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very friendly and professional with follow up advice and home exercises after initial treatment. I had attended a different practice prior to my visit but unfortunately they concentrated on past history and not the recent injury. I felt relaxed and more comfortable after my first consultation and will definitely be back. Thank you

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Therapy and Fitness Studio is a really lovely space for classes. I’ve attended several of Machelle’s yoga classes here and have come away every time feeling very much rejuvenated, both thanks to the relaxing environment at the studio and to the exceptional standard of Machelle’s teaching. I highly recommend a visit!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been going to Therapy and Fitness for a while and really like the location, and the easily guided yoga instructor, Machelle. She is very friendly, non judgemental, and embraces every level going into yoga. A great, friendly place to go!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would recommend the yoga class with Debra on a Wednesday morning.   An hour is perfect as, after a quick warm up, you get down to doing a variety of moves. They’re suitable for all abilities .

Do I need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist in West Malling?

No. You can self-refer to our clinic. While we often work alongside GPs and consultants, you can book an appointment directly with us to begin your recovery immediately.

What should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

We recommend wearing loose, comfortable clothing or gym attire. To provide an accurate assessment, your therapist may need to see the affected area (e.g., shorts for knee pain).

How many sessions will I need?

Recovery timelines vary based on the severity of the condition and your adherence to rehab exercises. Most patients notice significant improvement within 3 to 6 sessions.

Is physiotherapy covered by private health insurance?

Many of our patients use private health insurance. We recommend checking with your provider (such as AXA, Bupa, or Vitality) regarding your specific cover before your first visit.

What is the difference between Physiotherapy and Osteopathy?

While both treat musculoskeletal pain, Physiotherapy at our clinic focuses heavily on exercise-based rehabilitation and functional movement, whereas Osteopathy often emphasises manual “alignment” and holistic body mechanics. We offer both, ensuring you get the right specialist for your needs.

Where is the clinic located in West Malling?

We are located at Unit 17, Mill Yard, Swan Street, West Malling, ME19 6LP. There is convenient parking available on the High Street or in nearby local car parks.
