I cannot recommend this practice and Andy Roberts highly enough. This man knows his stuff and apart from being incredibly professional and exceptionally able as a Physio, with many years of experience, he actually cares about your recovery.

Sharne Hawkins

Fantastic. They have looked after my whole family for years.

Rebecca Harding

I had been in extreme pain for over five weeks with a pinched nerve at the base of my neck. The physical therapy clinic was recommended to me by a close friend and business colleague. He told me he had visited the clinic himself for treatment and had great results. I called and was given a prompt appointment to discuss my condition. Andy Roberts saw me and gave me a thorough examination after discussing at length what may have caused the problem. He then administered treatment and explained completely the process and a treatment plan. I have had three treatment appointments now and I am definitely on the mend. I found the clinic to be professional and honest in their assessment. It was made clear to me at the very start if the treatment did not improve my condition they would not hesitate in referring me for further investigations. I would recommend Andy Roberts and the physical therapy clinic without hesitation.

Mr Nicholas C Birch FRCS OrthConsultant Spinal Surgeon, Woodland Hospital

I have worked with the Clinicians at The Physical Therapy Clinic for many years in my capacity as an Orthopaedic Surgeon. I have always been impressed by the depth of knowledge and quality of the information sent to me when asking for an orthopaedic opinion on one of their patients. We equally, the care and exercise provided for my patients, particularly in the postoperative period, has been outstanding. I have referred and hope to continue to refer many patients every month to The Physical Therapy Clinic.
