Representing a combination of medicine and performance that has few rivals in Britain, the London Institute for Human Performance and Longevity is launching both a cutting-edge clinic and a new level of care for those optimising their health, well-being, movement and athletic achievement.
The high-performance medicine practised by the clinic, located in an airy modern facility in West London, is brought to all members of the public, with no need to restrict expertise to professional athletes. ‘We treat everybody,’ insists Dr Ralph Rogers, one of its driving forces.
For an organisation bringing technology-driven care to such a wide gamut of the population, how it answers questions of patient health, well-being and mobility is telling. ‘I’m not the doctor to tell my patients what not to do,’ Dr Rogers continues. ‘You get patients who say “I was told I shouldn’t jog or play football or tennis.” Well, with some of them, that’s what they live for. My job, as I see it, is to allow people to do the activities that they love.’
The institute’s team is energised by getting the British public back on their feet. Dr Rogers explains: ‘You get clients who are 75 years old and they tell me, “I love running. I don’t want to do anything else.” Some of these people have run all their life, and you can see how unhappy they are when they don’t run or they don’t play tennis or whatever it is they want to do.’
Bolstered by the world-class diagnostics and premises of Olympia-based private clinic VisitHealth, where the institute is located, the facilities include same-day X‑ray, ultrasound and MRI scans. The team itself delivers regenerative orthopaedics, sports medicine and longevity care to busy, discerning Londoners and international clients. Meanwhile, education and knowledge transfer are crucial to its mission.
Moving away from the siloed approach of too much of modern medicine, the team unleashes the benefits of true integration, meaning that visitors get the benefit of care in one unified, patient-centric plan. Where a solution calls on the institute’s consultant-led experts, including sports physicians, regenerative medicine and pain management specialists, gynaecologists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, psychiatry practitioners, aesthetic and longevity consultants, surgeons, physiotherapists, dietitians and performance coaches, they step in together.
On 27 October 2025, when the London Institute for Human Performance and Longevity formally opens its doors, it will represent the best of meaningful, well-researched, and healthy steps forward for an excited public on the move.
