I found her advice and guidance extremely useful. I followed her exercises and was injury free in 3 weeks!! Michelle is very professional and I would highly recommend her Amy Pedrick2025-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would definitely recommend Excel Physiotherapy! Gary is an absolute miracle worker. I came in with unexplained knee pain that left me unable to walk properly, and in just one session, he identified the root cause. By my second appointment two weeks later, my leg felt significantly better and I could walk without any issues. While my recovery is still in progress, Gary has gone above and beyond—providing tailored exercises and constant support to help me. I have no doubt I’ll be back to normal with his help. Thank you Gary! Kieran Fitzpatrick2025-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been using physio’s, acupuncture for years on and off. I’ve had constant issues with my back whilst running and training in general. Gary has got me back running pain free for the first time in years. Highlighted an issue with my hips which no else has and it’s been a game changer.. couldn’t recommend enough!! Andrea Izod2025-04-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service from Gary and the team. Have been to Gary a couple of times over the last few years and I wouldn't go anywhere else; professional, honest advice from a physiotherapist who has extensive knowledge. Thank you Robert Webb2025-04-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Seen Gary a few times over the years, always gets to the bottom of the issue and gives you a program which is easy to follow He is someone I would recommend if you need Physiotherapy 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.
