Southampton Physio

I originally went to see Ian for a bad shoulder which he assessed and diagnosed straight away. He sent me away with exercises to work on and it made huge improvements. I have since seen him for my long term neck problems and an ongoing leg issue from a major injury. Both issues have already improved and I’m confident that over time with Ian’s guidance they will continue to progress. Would highly reccomend

I went to Ian for online coaching after getting diagnosed with hypothyroidism which was causing weight gain, a lot of fatigue and joint aches. Ian worked with me to set up a gradual online coaching plan that was tailored to my energy levels, work schedule and goals. I always felt welcome to ask questions, make amendments and set new goals as we went. After a few months working with Ian my weight stabilised, my strength was improving and I looked forward to my training sessions. After a year I had the confidence to join a local powerlifting club and soon I’ll be going to my first comp! I’m hoping not to get injured, but also grateful to know Ian’s there if I do! I highly recommend online coaching with Ian, especially for anyone with health conditions, chronic pain or that is looking to build confidence.

I went to Southampton Physio for help with chronic pain. I have benefited from a holistic treatment programme and have been able to increase my activity levels and start to return to hobbies I have not been able to do for ages. My pain levels are the best they have been in years and I’m finally feeling optimistic.

Great friendly and personalised service. Ian is very knowledgeable and tailors plans depending on what you need and is easily contactable between sessions as well. I have had a great experience.

Been using Ian’s services for around a year now. It’s been hugely beneficial in helping me get back to the sports and activities I love whilst yet being conscious and understanding my body morphology more to prevent further injury. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

I started treatment with Ian at Southampton Physio in January 2023 following an acute knee injury. 100% recommend their service and treatment approach.I ruptured my ACL playing football and was previously fit and well. My NHS consultant explained that I might have a lengthy wait for treatment and prehab could help me regain mobility and boost my chances of a successful ACL reconstruction (still waiting on the list.. 7 months on). At the time I was on crutches and could barely walk, let alone run or cycle.After seven months under Ian's care I'm extremely pleased with the results: I'm now back on the bike for commuting and most of the time, by working on the physio exercises Ian trains me in, have good mobility (though no running til after my op sadly).In particular these plus points stand out:- No-pressure, up-front and ethical approach.- Flexible treatment planning, eg once my joint stabilised, they suggested I drop from weekly workout to monthly monitoring sessions as it was in my financial interest(!)- Whole-body and multi-disciplinary expertise means that when I developed secondary back problems owing to my unbalanced gait, they were able to inclusively address that with additional exercises and some chiropractic therapy. I'd never had a chiropractic manipulation before and was a little apprehensive, but Ian explained the procedure, outcomes, and risks, and we kept it light and simple. I felt happy to do it and it improved my back.- Flexible scheduling and near city centre / Uni- Good food in the cafe there (Sssshh!)All in all a great experience from a trustworthy and effective team. Recommend.

I have had several sessions with Peter.I had three separate issues to solve (from regular climbing and a bike accident): Hand pain, Golfers Elbow (Left) and Torn Rotator Cuff (Right).Peter was very well informed, professional and easy to talk to. He explained the underlying causes of all three sources of pain and gave me exercises that (over time) have eased all three to a manageable level. These exercises were modified after after re-assessment at each visit.Perhaps most surprising (technique) was the soaking of my hands in (quite) hot water for several minutes before exercising them. This worked like magic in helping to mobilise those stiff finger joints.

Excellent care and attention. I have been going to Ian's sessions for a couple of months now and I notice the difference every week I go. I am at the end of the treatment and I must say that not only is the injury healing, but I am learning how my shoulder works.

Started seeing Ian because everyone I try to get fit, I injure myself! Since starting 6 months ago, my fitness has improved, my balance has improved, and I'm feeling better about exercise. If I arrive with an injury, Ian's extensive knowledge and experience means he can adjust exercises to suit needs.I really respect the full history taking. I know what my goals are, I have aims, and I have someone who understands injuries and helps me to work around or through as appropriate.

I have had a fantastic experience with Southampton Physio. They have helped me with my ongoing back and ankle issues, providing quality treatment and exercises.
