The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy - Hito

WE GET YOU

You’ve seen everyone. Nothing has lasted.

You’ve been dealing with your symptoms for months — maybe years. You’ve seen GPs, Consultants, other physios, other therapists. Some helped a little. Some didn’t help at all. And you’re starting to wonder if this is just your life now.

Here’s what we know: your symptoms aren’t random. There’s a reason why you’re still suffering. And addressing the root cause — not just the symptoms — is the key to sustainable healing.

The Problem Most Practitioners Miss

You’re used to finding a way through. But the headaches, the jaw pain, the dizziness — they haven’t responded to that approach.

You’ve been to your GP. Blood tests normal. A neurologist — no structural cause. A physio, a chiropractor, a dentist with a night guard. Some things helped a little. Nothing has lasted. And yet here you are, still in pain, still cancelling things.

You are not being dramatic. These conditions are real and treatable. The problem is that most practitioners — GPs, physios, chiropractors, specialists — see only one piece of the puzzle. They’re not trained to connect the vestibular system, the jaw, the neck, and the headaches into a single clinical picture.

We are. And not just the physical picture — the nervous system and mindset picture too.

AS FEATURED IN

WHO WE HELP

We specialise in four complex conditions.

Each of our specialist areas shares a common thread — the nervous system’s role in maintaining and perpetuating the problem. That’s why our patients finally get better here, after years of trying elsewhere.

01

Vestibular Disorders

When every movement feels uncertain
Dizziness · Vertigo · BPPV · PPPD · Vestibular Neuritis · Labyrinthitis
When the world won’t stop spinning — or the dizziness never fully goes away — standard Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy often isn’t enough. We look deeper.

Vestibular Physiotherapy

02

TMJ Dysfunction

Jaw pain that radiates into everything
Jaw Pain · Clicking Jaw · Teeth Grinding · Tinnitus · Facial Pain
If you’ve been given a night guard and told to manage it — there’s usually more that can be done. We treat the jaw, neck, and nervous system together.

TMJ Physiotherapy

03

Migraines & Headaches

Living in fear of the next migraine
Cervicogenic Headache · Vestibular Migraine · Tension Headache · Chronic Migraine
Most headaches have a physical origin in the neck and jaw. We identify the pattern, break the cycle, and address the nervous system sensitisation that keeps it going.

Headache & Migraine Physiotherapy

04

Persistent Pain

When pain outlasts the injury
Persistent Pain · Chronic Pain · Central Sensitisation · Post-Injury Pain · Unexplained Pain
Pain that continues beyond expected healing — what many patients know as chronic pain — isn’t a mystery. It’s a nervous system in overdrive. We work with the whole system, not just the site of pain.

Persistent & Chronic Pain Physiotherapy

THE HITO METHOD

Why people finally get better with us

Most clinics treat the body. We treat the body, the nervous system, and the mindset. That is why our results last.

The Body

Specialist vestibular physiotherapy, TMJ assessment and manual therapy, VR vestibular rehabilitation, acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, exercise prescription, and postural retraining.

The Nervous System

Nervous system education, breathwork and meditation for regulation, building awareness of dysregulation patterns, and establishing daily habits for resilience and stress tolerance.

The Mindset

Psychoeducation, identity and limiting belief work, energy management, mindfulness, habit stacking, neuroplasticity principles, and coaching to overcome avoidance and anxiety.

See How The Programme Works

THE HITO METHOD

A structured journey – not a series of appointments

WEEKS 1 – 4

Phase 1 — Foundations

Your assessment and your treatment begin in the same week. Alessio conducts a comprehensive clinical assessment across all three dimensions — Body, Nervous System and Mindset — and begins hands-on treatment in that first session, because understanding what is driving your symptoms and addressing it are not separate steps.
In parallel, your first sessions with Julie introduce journey mapping, breath assessment, and the foundations of nervous system regulation. From week one you will have a daily check-in form to build self-awareness, and your first breathwork techniques to begin downregulating your nervous system between sessions.

WEEKS 5 – 8

Phase 2 — Progressive Treatment

Treatment advances across all three dimensions simultaneously. With Alessio, the clinical work deepens as your full picture becomes clearer. With Julie, you explore nervous system states in depth, work with the stress container model, and build your personalised toolkit of downregulating breathwork and regulation techniques.

WEEKS 9 – 12

Phase 3 — Consolidate & Exit

Consolidation of gains across all three dimensions. Transition to confident self-management with the toolkit you’ve built. Exit assessment and written 12-week progress report.

WHY HITO

What makes this different


We treat three dimensions — not just the body	Most physiotherapy treats the physical structures. We go further — addressing the nervous system dysregulation and mindset patterns that sustain these conditions. This is why our results last.
A structured 12-week programme — not sessions	We do not sell appointments. We deliver a defined 12-week programme with three phases, clear milestones, and a written exit plan.
Specialist, not generalist	We have devoted our clinical practice to three deeply interconnected conditions: vestibular disorders, TMJ dysfunction, and chronic migraines.
Root-cause, not symptom management	Every assessment begins with a thorough investigation across body, nervous system, and mindset.
Integrated with your wider care	We work alongside referring GPs, neurologists, ENTs, and dentists — keeping your care coordinated, not fragmented.

Hito Holistic Health Physiotherapy London Bridge

What types of treatments do you offer?

We offer specialist physiotherapy for vestibular disorders, TMJ dysfunction, chronic headaches and migraines, and persistent pain — delivered through The Hito Programme, a 12-week journey addressing body, nervous system, and mindset. We also offer traditional physiotherapy for musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, and workplace injuries.

What is a holistic approach?

A holistic approach considers the whole person — body, mind, and nervous system. We focus on treating the root causes of issues rather than managing symptoms in isolation, which is why our results are lasting rather than temporary.

No referral is needed. You can self-refer directly by booking a free discovery call. We’ll let you know if we think your GP or another specialist should be involved in your care.

 I highly highly highly recommended Alessio (and his wife- what a dream team). Alessio has such a holistic approach which I have not experienced with any other therapist before. Working in wellness and healing myself, I really appreciate how he combines western and eastern medicine. He has helped me immensely with a shoulder issue and squeezed me in last minute to support me with my acute pain. Look no further and Alessio "sees" you wholly and investigates your pain properly.

 I have now had 3 sessions with Dr Alessio Barone. I am very happy I have found this excellent physiotherapist who applies a holistic approach to his practice combining eastern and western philosophies.

He listens, he makes me feel better, he provides exercises and recommends equipment. The clinic is managed by both Julie [Alessio's wife] and Alessio. The feel of the clinic when you walk in is nurturing, calming and positive.

I feel like this couple really want to help and support me in my rehab and recovery and overall wellbeing.
Thank you Alessio and Julie.

 Alessio treated me for back and (both) knee pain. He was very kind, patient, careful and professional in his approach and treating the painful conditions that I was dealing with. I am very thankful to Alessio for the holistic treatment of my condition and am happy to say that I am now pain free and well.

 I had about six craniosacral sessions with Alessio and one acupuncture session. From the very beginning, I felt comfortable and safe with him. His studio is very welcoming, and since I also work in the holistic field, I immediately felt I was in the right place. Alessio also works with sound which I had the pleasure of experiencing with him as well. It was a truly wonderful sound healing journey that allowed me to feel a deep connection with the Divine.

The craniosacral sessions helped me a lot to rebalance my body and feel more centered. Over the course of six sessions, I noticed that the tension I had in my back completely disappeared. I am really happy I chose to go to Alessio, not only because he is an excellent practitioner, but also because he is a kind and inspiring person. It is always enriching to share experiences and perspectives with him about our personal growth and evolution, which ultimately helps us support both ourselves and others.
