About
Dr. Michael Burdon is a highly regarded specialist consultant in sport, exercise and musculoskeletal medicine, based in the London area. Graduating from the Royal Free Hospital, University of London in 1994, Dr. Burdon initially pursued a career as a general practitioner (GP) in a busy city practice. However, his passion for sports and exercise medicine (SEM) led him to further specialise in this field.
In 2004, Dr. Burdon completed a diploma in SEM, followed by obtaining an MSc at Bath University in 2010. His dedication and expertise led to him becoming a Consultant in 2013 after being added to the GMC Specialist register.
Over the last 9 years Dr Burdon has been working at Pure Sports Medicine and is now working full time in the Kensington clinic. He has also been an examiner on the sports medicine MSc course in Bath and more recently at QMUL, London.
Dr Burdon is a keen runner and has completed several marathons and 2 previous ultramarathons. He enjoys attending the gym also on a regular basis.
Dr. Burdon’s experience spans across various sports including football, rugby, swimming, diving, hockey, and sailing. Notably, he provided medical coverage for all aquatic sports at the London 2012 Olympics and has accompanied teams on international tours, such as the diving squad to Mexico and GB Hockey tours to India and Malaysia. His contributions to sports medicine also extend to disability football and the under 18 England squad.
While Dr. Burdon maintains an interest in all areas of SEM and musculoskeletal (MSK) medicine, he holds a particular focus on diagnostic ultrasound/ultrasound guided injections, hip and groin conditions, and the management of knee and hip osteoarthritis.

Dr Burdon is clear and precise, he puts his patients at ease and he is very delicate with treatments (e.g., injections).

I found Dr Michael Burdon to be helpful and approachable, when I consulted him for arthritis. He gave advice on my options in a clear and understandable manner. I opted for a steroid injection to reduce inflammation and pain, although aware that this is not a permanent solution. The injection in my knee was almost painless with local anaesthetic, and has worked very well. It has eliminated my pain from the day after it was given. He recommended an excellent local physiotherapist, with whom I am working to improve the management of my arthritis for the future. I am very pleased with the outcome of this consultation and would recommend him as a joint physician.
Thanks so much for leaving a review. I am delighted to hear that you are doing so much better now. Wishing you all the best for your ongoing recovery, Mike.

Dr Burdon has been a brilliant help for both my sons who are keen sportsmen. He has been able to see them promptly; has helped organise quick scans; subsequent diagnoses and further referrals to excellent consultants where needed. His contacts are obviously extensive and each person he has referred us to thinks highly of him. He is very good at answering all and every question in a way that non-medical people can understand.
Thanks so much for you very kind review. Wishing both boys a speedy recovery and return to activity in due course... Best wishes, Mike.
