Posted on SteveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I experienced a step-change improvement in symptoms from my shoulder injury following my treatment at Richard Higgs Physiotherapy. Richard was excellent. I would recommend him.Posted on Sue MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm very glad that I found Richard. Due to ongoing neck pain, I use Richard for neck massage and always feel so much lighter and more flexible when I leave his treatment room. Great service, great experience.Posted on Emily HoughtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The first physio iβve returned to! Easy to get to the practice, get parked and even just booking the appointment was super easy. Prices are competitive and they offer treatments I havenβt seen elsewhere - like TMJ physio. I felt heard, understood and validated from the moment we began discussing my reasons for booking. Leira is knowledgable, experienced and caring, takes her time with identifying the root cause of issues, and explains everything (if you want to know!) as sheβs treating you. Her bedside manner is delightful, and if you want the full spa treatment (chill music and relaxing scents included), sheβs more than happy to match your energy. Most importantly, I noticed immediate relief after my first treatment, and after three sessions, I am pain free! So pleased I booked in!Posted on Alex FieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great physio/sports massage with Leira to sort out niggling shoulder and neck problems. I've tried a few places over the years but Leira's musculoskeletal knowledge has been excellent in pinpointing the issue and easing the discomfort through massage and strengthening exercises. I've booked onto a package of treatments as the results are really working. Definitely recommend!Posted on Jacqueline KayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It has been great working with Leira. After being injured from running, she assessed me and developed a personalised training programme to help improve my strength and running ability, and we test my progress regularly. Her recommendations have massively helped improved my trainingPosted on John AtkinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had physio with Richard for an issue that has been causing discomfort for a long time, but thanks to his help and guidance Iβm now getting a lot more relief and feel like Iβm finally on the road to recovery.Posted on Leanne McEachanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked a sports massage after a period of intense training and a post race niggle. Leira didnβt just do a generic routine. She asked precise questions, pinpointed the problem areas, and explained why they were tight in the first place. The pressure was firm, targeted, and effective. I walked out with far better mobility and woke up the next morning with considerably less pain. The follow-up advice and support was the biggest differentiator. It wasnβt βsee you next timeβ but clear, practical guidance to keep me moving well between sessions. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely results-driven. Iβll be back for my next training blockPosted on Luke HargreavesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very happy with the treatment and advice I received. It has helped me a lot with my shoulder. Would highly recommend.Posted on Jenna GrayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have recently seen Richard for physiotherapy to help with a long term shoulder issue and have had the first couple of sessions and it has already improved significantly. I'd been putting off making an appointment for a while, however Richard really puts you at ease from the minute you arrive and I would highly recommend him to anyone who has been thinking about seeking help for any ongoing niggles or issues.Posted on autumn LucasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a really good experience with Leira Pamp she went above and beyond while I was having a sports massage I really appreciate it I will be booking again thank you
