Private GP Surgery and Range and Restore
CQC-regulated private GP care with Dr M. Ali Mahmood M.D. at Private GP Surgery. Sports massage, recovery and remedial therapy with Carlos Bonvicine at Range and Restore on Junction Road. Two North London services, two complementary disciplines, one joined-up approach to your health.
A collaboration built on the same values
No single pair of hands fixes everything, and that isn't a weakness in any one service, it's just how bodies work. Some things are muscular and respond beautifully to hands-on soft tissue work and recovery. Some are medical, and need the diagnostic eye of a registered doctor who can assess, prescribe, refer and investigate. The best outcome for a client is usually the right practitioner at the right moment, with someone trusted to hand you over to when you need it. That's the whole reason Range and Restore Sports Massage and Private GP Surgery now work together.
About Dr Ali Mahmood and Private GP Surgery
Private GP Surgery is a CQC-regulated private GP service operated by Medical Health Limited. It is led by Dr M. Ali Mahmood, M.D., an experienced General Practitioner with over 20 years in healthcare. He holds full GMC registration with a licence to practise, MRCGP membership, and is listed on the GP Register and Performers List. He is also Mental Health Act Section 12 approved, which means he can support patients struggling with mental health problems. Dr Ali believes private care should feel straightforward and reassuring. He takes time over every appointment and goes into the detail for a proper assessment and follow-up, rather than rushing patients through.
He doesn't work alone. Dr Rini Chakrabarti is a dedicated GP with a decade of experience across both the NHS and private practice, committed to compassionate, personalised and holistic care and to building long-term patient relationships. Syd Syed, the Registered Manager, oversees clinical governance, regulatory compliance and service quality, with a background in biomedical science and quality management. Between them the service runs to the highest medical standards while keeping patient data and medical decisions fully private. Appointments are available seven days a week, online and as home visits.
What stood out to us, and the reason this collaboration made immediate sense, is the philosophy behind the work. Private GP Surgery is patient-centred and transparent: you should know what is happening, why it is happening, and what comes next. That's the same value that runs through everything we do at Range and Restore.
Why we work together
Range and Restore and Private GP Surgery aren't competing for the same client. We sit either side of the same goal. A private GP brings a registered, diagnostic, whole-body approach, including prescribing, referrals, investigations and mental health support. Sports massage and soft tissue therapy bring hands-on release, improved range of movement, and recovery that keeps the body moving well between treatments. Put them side by side and the gaps close. Someone arrives at Range and Restore with stubborn pain; most of the time assessment-led sports and deep tissue massage handles it, but when the picture suggests something medical, we can point them straight to Dr Ali. And it works the other way too. A patient he has assessed and cleared can come to us for ongoing soft tissue work and recovery, so the gains hold.
When to see a GP, when to book a sports massage
People ask this all the time, so here is the honest, plain-English version. Start with a GP at Private GP Surgery if pain is new, severe, spreading, waking you at night, or came with numbness, weakness, fever or unexplained weight loss, and for anything that needs a prescription, a referral, tests, or support with your mental health. With seven-day, online and home-visit appointments, you can get seen quickly. Start with sports massage at Range and Restore if you know the issue is muscular, such as tightness from training, stiffness from desk work, or soreness after a long ride or a race, and you mainly want hands-on release, better range and recovery. For the common cases that sit in between, persistent lower back or neck pain, recurring tightness that keeps coming back, the two used together tend to resolve things faster and keep them resolved longer.
How the Recovery Suite fits in
Alongside hands-on sports massage, Range and Restore runs a full Recovery Suite at 130 Junction Road, a Vidalux two-person hybrid infrared sauna and the Hyperice Normatec 3 Full Body compression system. For a patient working through something with Dr Ali, those tools are a natural complement. The infrared sauna helps relax tight tissue and brings an over-wound nervous system back into a parasympathetic state, which sits well alongside the stress and mental health side of general practice. Gentle Manual Lymphatic Drainage can support the body during recovery too, once cleared. None of it replaces what a GP does. It gives his patients somewhere local to keep the progress moving between appointments.
Honest referrals, both ways
That's what we mean when we say we're rooted in the North London community. When you ask “do you know a good private GP?” you don't want a name off a search engine, you want someone whose work the person sending you actually trusts. The collaboration means both services can give that answer with confidence. There's no formal scheme, no vouchers, no commission. Just two local services that share the same values, talk to each other, and want the best care for the same community across Archway, Highgate, Holloway, Tufnell Park, Finsbury Park, Crouch End, Islington, Camden and Kentish Town.
