Testimonials

I came away feeling heard, valued and with an achievable recovery plan. Honest and trustworthy practice.

- Emma

Really welcoming and helpful. Worked for me.

- Sam Deluca

Compassionate, caring, knowledgeable professional physiotherapist.

- Karen Diamond

I highly recommend Jay. Having had no luck with other private and NHS physios, Jay took time to methodically assess my lower back and leg pain, diagnosing my complex symptoms. He provided exercises that relieved the pain, understanding which muscles and nerves were affected and how to treat them. He communicated clearly throughout and was upfront about the ongoing challenges I face, which I really appreciated.

- Ben Thomas

I needed Physiotherapy after having hip revision surgery, I found Jay to be friendly, reliable, professional and diligent. Jay demonstrated excellent medical knowledge, and a high degree of dexterity to address many aspects of physical recovery I hadn't even considered, he got me walking properly and worked on strength, agility, flexibility, and I was able to get back to work. The advise offered was invaluable to my recovery. I would not hesitate to come back for further sessions should I feel the need.

- Tim Butcher

I have always had problems with my back due to degenerative disc desease. Because of ongoing issues with leg and lower back pain I was referred to Jay by the Neurosurgeon who carried out surgery on my lower and upper back. Jays expertise and caring approach immediately put me at ease. Through a mix of hands-on treatment and clear, practical home exercises, Jay has improved my situation to the point that I'm now able to carry out day to day activities that i was unable to do previously.

Thanks to Jays knowledge and doable home exercises, my back and leg pain has significantly reduced. I was able to get an appointment within a couple of weeks of my referral and saw real improvement after my first four appointments. I am so grateful to Jay for helping me with his gentle yet highly effective techniques and reassuring manner. He is highly professional and effective. I thoroughly recommend him.
