Stories of Care From Our Clients.
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks for the session and the resulting exercises.Posted on Google keith DavisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had been having quite bad balance and coordination issues caused through MS and started one to one pilates with Karen this has helped enormously and after 3 sessions I joined the restorative pilates classes on Tuesday as well continuing with my one to one sessions as well. The pilates is helping me enormously to restore my muscle tone and provide me with the ability to readjust my balance when I have a wobble. The classes are very friendly and well instructed and there is a great feeling of camaraderie as everyone in this specific class has physical issues of some kind I want to keep the MS tucked away in the background as long as I possibly can and feel I am achieving this and I’m far more in control of my body than it isPosted on Google Amanda WigginsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This clinic is an absolute godsend. Very helpful receptionists and appointment booked on the same day. Karen, the physio is a miracle worker. Thank you so muchPosted on Google Kerry-Anne EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very positive experience from Grosvenor from reception onwards. Quick appointment made to see Alex, recieved hands on treatment with ultra sound and acupuncture, all followed up the same day with a rehab programme sent. Once again not disappointed.Posted on Google Tina CottamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gave me an urgent slot for a knee injury I feared might significantly restrict my participation in a weekend in Paris. Fantastic service from Alex from start to finish. Listened, understood, examined thoroughly, explained and then reassured that, although injured, joint stable and no harm would be done using it sensibly. Affirmed that the brace I'd bought was fine and then applied K tape for added support. Alex is pragmatic, professional, friendly and honest. Huge relief. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Jo WTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Managed a same day appointment for a shoulder injury. Really pleased with the prompt reply and completion of all relevant documents. The physio undertaken by Komal was specifically helpful in me understanding the precise issue I had and how to deal with it. I also really appreciated the follow up guidelines on how to do various exercises. Thanks all at the clinic!Posted on Google MarkTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent, professional and precise. Also, very gentle but extremely effective. I am having treatment for sciatica and I would totally recommend Denmead Physiotherapy. They are the best.Posted on Google Jackie BullTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been to a few physios and Jo is unbelievably brilliant. She listened to my issues and has spent time explaining what the cause was. Her expertise has helped me to recover and she didn’t over complicate it with a load of exercises. She really is amazing and I couldn’t recommend her enough.Posted on Google Harriet SageTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent help again from Jo. Wealth of knowledge and able to communicate in an easy, friendly and very helpful manner.

Can’t recommend highly enough!Posted on Google Dave HohlTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
