Who We Help
Care That Meets You Where You Are
No matter your age, background or fitness level – we work with real people who just want to feel better in their body and get back to what they love.
Some come to us after an injury. Others are living with arthritis, fatigue, or persistent pain that makes life feel smaller than it used to. Many have already seen other professionals but never quite got the full picture or long-term results.
Whatever your story, we’ll meet you where you are – with empathy, clear guidance, and a plan you can trust.
You might be:
- A busy professional with a bad back and no time to waste
- A parent who just wants to lift their kid without pain
- An active retiree aiming to stay mobile for the long haul
- A climber, runner, or lifter scared of another flare-up
- A woman with hypermobility, fatigue or recurring injuries who’s tired of being misunderstood
We don’t offer generic fixes. We offer real care that works.
Patient Review
What Our Patients Are Saying
Laura Sinclair2025-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Southampton Physio are a brilliant team - supportive, holistic, and kind. I contacted Southampton Physio as I have been struggling with symptoms associated with hypermobility. There are no other local teams who even have dedicated information about hypermobility, so I was very grateful when I first saw the condition discussed on their website. I had an initial telephone discussion with Ewan who was friendly, knowledgeable, and personable. He provided me with information about the practice and organised a face-to-face meeting with Ian. I have now worked with Ian for exercise focused sessions. Ian has clear and demonstrable knowledge of biomechanics. All of the exercises he designs make sense - not just the same old exercises I've been advised to do before that did not properly stretch the hypermobile body. With previous personal training with different gyms, I have been concerned or anxious about sharing when I was in pain or needed to adapt an exercise. Ian is kind and has a no-shame attitude - I am supported to adapt an exercise in a way that feels challenging but safe. Ian is also easy to chat with! The sessions do not drag, and I really enjoy this friendly approach. I have recently started Pilates with Seana. Seana is also a knowledgeable, compassionate, and approachable professional. I am looking forward to growing my confidence with new exercises and techniques. Nina, who works as the Social Media and Relations Manager, is always efficient and lovely. She has helped to make sure that I have regular appointments at times that work for me. I have always received good communication about any changes that needed to occur. Southampton Physio is currently based at Boulder Shack which is a lovely facility. All of the people who work there and attend there are really friendly. It's a nice place to spend some time before and after appointments. Nonnie A2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had chronic pain for 6 years and with the support of my amazing physiotherapist, Kinga, I am now living pain free! I felt listened to and supported to do the right exercises for me, and recover in my own time. Everything was explained well so I now have a good understanding of what caused the pain and how to fix it. Rosiane Hickman2025-04-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian is being very good at showing me a way to deal with my day to day life with less pain and a better quality of life. These are changes that require focus, but they are worth it because they are producing results. He is very professional and also very friendly. Chris Matthews2025-04-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very pleased that Ian has identified movement patterns that are causing/ exacerbating my back pain. The exercises he has taught me have made great improvements to a chronic problem that other therapist have not managed to diagnose. Would highly recommend a consultation. Zoë French2025-03-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian and the team have been brilliant. I went in last June with a really sore back. I had never hurt my back before but was in quite a lot of pain and couldn’t imagine ever feeling back to normal again. After a few sessions of deep tissue massage, Ian started a course of exercises with me to build up the strength in my back muscles to avoid future injuries. I’ve found it so useful and haven’t had a twinge since. Fully recommend. Tommaso Costantini2025-03-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian is an extremely skilled physio who helped me in numerous way during our sessions. I first visited him for a problem on my wrist which had stopped me from enjoying climbing for over a month. He gave me rehab exercises and in less than 2 weeks I was almost fully recovered. After that we discussed about my problems on my left leg, which had discouraged me from running. With a program of exercises focused on my weakest links (hip, calf, tibialis) I got my confidence back to return running and enjoy it! Lastly he gave me tips to maintain the progresses made in a sustainable and tailored way. I absolutely recommend Ian and Southampton Physio, because they helped me immensely to return to enjoying my passions, and I am truly grateful for their help. Annika Werner2025-03-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic! Ian is extremely knowledgeable and takes all aspects of the body functioning (or not) seriously. He has fixed my shoulder and neck problems within just a few weeks and taught me how to prevent the issues from recurring. At every step, I’ve felt very well taken care of. connie bradd2025-03-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve had back pain for my whole adult life. It was recently getting worse so I decided to do something about it. I was very apprehensive to start physio as I didn’t know what to expect, but Ian immediately made me feel comfortable. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, understanding and patient. He’s worked with me to put together a gym plan that I enjoy and feel confident doing, and within few sessions I started noticing improvements. Now, I’m no longer waking up with back pain everyday and its impact on my daily life is virtually nil! If you want to see a physio that genuinely cares then this is the place for you! 🙂 Beth Seaborne2025-03-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Seana Couch for my Physio appointments at Southampton Physio and she has taught me a lot about how to recover from an injury caused by climbing. Highly recommend if you have an injury and you want to find out what it is and how to repair/soothe it. Also if you just want a sports massage, head over here. Sandy Avrutin2025-03-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really helpful and holistic advice about rehab exercises, diet and general approaches to working out - not just for dealing with an injury, but for making sure it shouldn't happen again. Thank you Ian!
