Recommended Katie Dowson2025-05-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cameron was brilliant. Went to see him two days before my marathon with tight calves & an issue with my piriformis. My legs felt great on the day and definitely think my appointment has helped prevent injury post marathon! Highly recommend! MARTIN BLAND2025-05-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been suffering from a torn rotator cuff for some time and despite visitng another physio the discomfort continued. Cameron did a great job in a couple of visits and left me with a plan to strengthen it further. Donna Smithies2025-04-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Emily really took the time to understand the issue so she could provide the right treatment. Highly recommended Mark Penman2025-03-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn't recommend Dan any higher, i've introduced many fellow runners and cyclists to him over the years and they all the same thing..."he works miracles". The tailored emailed recovery plan with videos explaining the exercises is such a great touch as well. Dan is the only physio i'd ever see again! Val B2025-03-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was my first visit for physiotherapy with Cameron and I found the whole experience excellent. He was very thorough, very professional and I didn’t feel rushed. He carefully went through each exercise with me and was very supportive and encouraging. I have booked a follow up appointment and would certainly recommend to friends and family. Sam Adams2025-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service from Cameron, helped to identify the issue with my knee and supported me in getting back to running regularly. Farouk Hashmi2025-03-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time visit after being very highly recommended by family and friends. Felt completely at ease, Daniel explained everything in detail about my condition of my shoulder and back muscles, and what he would do to ease and improve them. Back again in 2 weeks after a full hour session today. Definately highly recommend. Varun Joshi2025-03-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been going for sports massages and physio for the past few months. Dan and Emily are superb. They have sorted my back issues and kept me mobile, which is a godsend. I couldn't recommend the team enough. Thank you Nicola Gilks2025-03-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a sports massage with Emily for pain in my neck and shoulders. Emily was very professional and easy to talk to from the start and fully explained everything about the issues I was having and what she was doing throughout the session, She also went through exercises/stretches I can do at home to ease my pain and improve my posture and she gave me exercised to do in the gym too. My symptoms eased after one session and I will be booking more sessions so I can keep on top of it. This is the second time I’ve used Light Joints Physio and, again, I was very happy with the service and I will definitely visit again and will highly recommend to friends and family.
