EXCELLENT Based on 222 reviews Terence and Julie Hall2025-03-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would highly recommend Gary for anyone in need of treatment. He is knowledgeable and professional and has a very reassuring manner. Malcolm Dunk2025-03-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gary came highly recommended but even so I was amazed at the very short time it took to relieve the severe pain and tingling all down my left arm. Gary quickly diagnosed the problem and I was given a few simple exercises to relieve the pain. My neck and shoulders feel better than they have for years. Brilliant!!! Debbie Lee2025-03-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gary is an amazing physiotherapist (and also a very nice person!). He is very professional and ensures that he understands exactly what the problem is before deciding on a treatment plan. He has sorted out various back problems that I have had, including a prolapsed disc, when I honestly thought I was never going to get back to anywhere near normal. He also provides detailed exercises for you to continue your treatment at home. I cannot recommend Gary enough and would definitely not use anyone else even though since moving away from the area it is a 100 mile round trip, it’s worth it! Lewis Kirkman2025-03-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have seen Gary a number of times over the years and always been very pleased with the care I received. Most recently I have seen Gary while pregnant and he has kept me pain free and mobile. I highly recommend any other pregnant woman see him who have any aches pains or mobility. Thank you again Gary and your team for everything Robert Stanley2025-03-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was sent by my consultant regarding my knee and can only say the treatment I have received from Gary has been excellent. The strengthening exercises and recommendation of an injection have greatly improved my functionality and reduced the pain. I Would highly recommend. simon burns2025-03-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Used Gary on & off for a few years now, always appreciate his professionalism towards me, very down to earth and super knowledgeable. Danielle Cox2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gary has treated me on a couple of occasions and has been second to none. The problems were quickly diagnosed with exercises given to help resolve the problem. He also massaged to area to help loosen the muscles which I believe has aided my recovery immensely. I would use Gary time and time again and recommend him to anyone who needs a physio. Denise Mwanza2025-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son has been seeing Gary for an mcl injury caused while playing football. He listened to my sons issues and reviewed mri and did a full mobility assessment. He identified key areas that needed to be treatment to ensure full fitness could be resumed. He videoed the exercises for my son to do weekly. Gave direct guidance to him and advise which believe my son will take forward. Gary is definitely someone I would recommend to others and whom I will make an appointment with for my own knee issue. Kim Wilden2025-02-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel very lucky to have found the team at Excel Physiotherapy. In only a couple of months I have gone from have severe back pain with spasms to being pain free. Jean Whitehead2025-02-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended Gary's clinic presenting with moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the knee with bone spurs. This developed over the years following a complex tear of the meniscus. Gary diagnosed my problem and developed a programme of exercise, manipulation and acupuncture. As a 70 year old I have pushed the thought of a knee replacement down the road. I highly recommend Gary whatever your age. He is brilliant.
