I have been suffering neck and shoulder pain since March. In desperation I sought the advice of Light Joints Therapy in Bradford. Within two visits the pain has subsided and movement is so much easier. The service provided is excellent and I would have no hesitation in recommending this practice.

Had treatment from Emily and Amie for serious back and knee pain for months while training in the gym with real day to day life impacts , didn’t know how was going to resolve. Lovely girl, easy to talk to she understood the issue immediately, extremely knowledgable, isolated the pain straight away , found the cause of the issues (there were a few!) and made immediate impact. Can’t thank her enough will continue to use, highly recommend 10/10🙌

I sought out physio for lower back pain which was hurting on a daily basis. I had one session with Daniel Thompson and he diagnosed my issue and gave me excercises to do to resolve the root cause. Within two weeks my back pain had fully gone and I feel back to my normal self. Would recommend to anyone it was well worth it and Daniel is friendly and very knowledgable.

Great experience with Cameron Thomson, quickly seen following an injury and on the path to recovery. I’ve seen Cameron previously for my shoulder which cleared up in a few weeks following his exercise program and more recently with my hamstring things are going great after only 2 sessions! Would recommend.

I had an appoint to see Cameron recently about a recurring neck issue on my left shoulder side , I had a prolapsed disc many years ago in my upper neck area and flagged this to him to investigate the source of the discomfort etc, also had an MRI Scan of the upper neck to show him , I was relieved to find out after a very through investigation by Cameron that no evidence of Disc impingement was present to cause me this discomfort , so he then concentrated on my upper Trapezius muscle group and found this to be the source of my issues . Cameron was very professional throughout the whole experience and I felt reassured that I was in good hands to finally deal with this problem On that note I can highly recommend him for treatments. He also sent me some exercises which I can follow in the Physiapp and looking forward with confidence to controlling my issue .

I had a great experience with Light Joints Physiotherapy. Emily was professional, friendly, and really knowledgeable throughout the session. She took the time to understand the issue properly and explained everything clearly, which made me feel confident in the treatment plan. I already feel the benefit from the session and would definitely recommend the clinic to anyone looking for quality physiotherapy treatment. Thanks again!

I went to see Adam for ongoing shoulder tightness and pain, and the difference after a few sessions has been massive. He quickly identified the issue, explained everything clearly, and gave me treatment and exercises that actually worked. The sessions were professional, friendly, and tailored to what I needed. My shoulder feels far less tight, range of motion has improved, and the pain has reduced significantly. Would definitely recommend to anyone dealing with any sort of problem.

Have been here for a few issues before but most recently I've seen Αimee for sciatica. She is a really fantastic physio who is obviously very passionate and knowledgeable! She helped to refine my understanding of what was causing my issue and developed a treatment plan that changed as we got a better understanding of what was causing my issue. Took a few months but I'm now pain free! Couldn't recommend her enough!
