I am absolutely indebted to Scott Smith for helping me regain the use of my right arm after I fell and fractured it near the shoulder (proximal humerus). This was a painful and disabling injury. The hospital said full recovery will take 6-12 months, but I'm hugely better after 3 months. Scott is very expert and inspires confidence. I've really benefitted from his advice, clear explanations, progressive exercise regime and soft tissue work.

Scott is the best physio I've seen in 25 years of issues. I came in with a shoulder injury from desk work, I literally couldn't work at my desk and had to take time off to rest. Coming to Scott, he only gave me one exercise and one stretch to do. Within days, yes only 2-3 days, I noticed an improvement to the point of no shoulder pain at all! There was a point when the pain had subsided but not completely gone. Most physios would stop there but Scott wanted me to 100% health. His care, dedication and non-patronising way made me feel very comfortable and happy to go there. I now have moved and travel far to reach the clinic but I'd rather not try anywhere else!

Hello

TL:DR Saved my holiday! 100% recommend

This is a long overdue review. Previously had my shoulder pain put to rest. In the summer I went a bit mad trimming all the hedges in a day for reason which at the time I was convinced was valid. However the following days found myself in agony unable to move at all. I barely could manage laying and queasy standing. I would call the pain akin to the surprise of sitting on an electric pineapple. It was 5days from the family holiday, I was genuinely convinced I wouldn't make it. I booked a session for everyday with Magic Mika. He took me from crying trying to wipe my bum to someone who could; move about, cope with two taxi rides and a plane. Allowing me to enjoy the family holiday spent mostly floating in the sea with the kids.

I'm very thankful they could see me at short notice. I'm think seriously about joining some of the other services offered there to help gain back some of the flexibility/strength I've lost in my 40's

L5/S1 Disk herniation with Sciatica started October, ignored till Nov, MRI confirmed Jan.

I began with Shanza in Jan in a great deal of pain with about 7weeks to a trip I really didn’t wish to cancel. I had a seamless mix of physio and reformer. I felt in safe, professional hands and it was great that both aspects were handled by the same practitioner. I had a clear goal (sitting and driving both were agony) when we started, Shanza gave me a stark reality check of what I could expect and what I would have to do (or in my case stop doing) if I wanted to meet that goal in terms that got through to me. She didn’t mind questions (perils of goggle) and took on board my worries/issues. Appointments are fun, competent, tailored to my limits and no up sell which makes a difficult time far less stressful. When it came time to make of decision on a steroid injection, again Shanza gave me the talk I need to hear.

End result is I’m very thankful that not only did I make my goal, I was able to exceed it. I look forwarded to carrying on my recovery plus fixing any other grumbles before they manifest into injury’s.

I can’t recommend Mika and the team highly enough. Mike has been treating my Achilles problem for some months now, and the progress I’ve made has been excellent.

He’s not only extremely knowledgeable and gives complete confidence in the treatment plan, but also very friendly and chatty making the sessions enjoyable.

The whole team at the clinic are fantastic - everyone is welcoming and professional. They have also been very accommodating when I have had to make changes to my appointments.

If you need a physiotherapist, sports massage or Pilates then this is the place.

Mika is a great physio therapist. He has treated a complex injury I had. Excellent service from the reception as well and good clinic facilities.

I fractured two bones in my ankle whilst travelling in February, Mika has been helping me since I got back. He has done great work and I can feel the improvement to my mobility and strength. He's extremely knowledgeable and effective. Highly recommend.

Highly Recommended: Excellent treatment and palates.

My thanks to Mika and his team @ Kingston Physio Group, for the physio treatment and advice received in relation to my lower back problems, which unfortunately have spanned many a month.

His help in assisting me navigate both physio interventions and medical investigations, appropriately; and especially for introducing me to the teams supervised Reformer Palates has been invaluable.

Melissa is a superb reformer palates coach. Having helped me build strength and flexibility through both individual and small trio classes, over a number of weeks and months. Easing pain and building confidence through enjoyable exercise.

Whilst, Melissa's colleague, Shanza demonstrated that she too is a knowledgeable and competent physio, when taking classes during the time Melissa was on leave.

Neither will I forget to mention the professional and friendly reception staff, all of whom ensure that appointments can be booked efficiently and that no one has any reason to forget an appointment.

My thanks, once again, to the whole Kingston Physio Group team.
