Posting this on behalf of my mother in law, Lina Watts. I used to have very limited mobility in my right arm. Someone recommended the Southampton Physio to me. When I arrived for the first time, I was greeted warmly and it made me feel very relaxed. Richard explained to me how he will analyse and help me with my problem. Now I have regained mobility in my right arm and I’m happy to recommend Southampton Physio. I thank Richard for his help. In my opinion his knowledge is second to none.Posted on Google![]()

Booked an appointment after I injured myself running. Richard has been very knowledgeable about the cause of injury and also with the recovery process. Ensuring that each stage is achievable and manageable around family life. Highly recommend Southampton Physio to anyone who would benefitPosted on Google![]()

Excellent support and encouragement I’ve had a really positive experience with Southampton Physio, especially with Richard. He has been very patient, caring and encouraging, always taking the time to explain things clearly. He has helped me gradually build my strength and confidence. My legs and feet were painful and felt less stable before, but I’m now noticing much better stability and feeling stronger. It’s been a gradual process, but the progress has been very encouraging. I’m very grateful for Richard’s support and would definitely recommend him.Posted on Google![]()

A great experience. Felt very supported by Richard who was very knowledgeable and listened. Richard was very reassuring and realistic. Richard worked with me as an individual and helped me to understand what my body needs. I followed his advice and we tweaked exercises as necessary and I’ve just completed a half marathon. Thank you Richard!Posted on Google![]()

Being a very active woman of 66 years, slowing down was not an option, until I hurt my back in October 25, but rather than make a recovery, the pain worsened, I was in pain no matter what I did, struggled to walk etc. I’d been told by an NHS physiotherapist that the damage had already been done, the exercises given made no difference. I was turned away by a chiropractor due to osteoporosis & a history of fractures. My GP sent me for an xray that showed two old fractures, degeneration and a vertebral process which must have been trapping nerves. There was no further treatment offered. I visited Ian Greaves for a consultation on 21 May 26. I have now had five sessions of physiotherapy with him and the difference is amazing. Obviously I have to put the work in to gain any improvement, but the difference is incredible. I frequently sail single handed and thought I would have to give the hobby up, but having just returned from 11 days away, having to pull lines, balance, lift an outboard on & off the boat to the dinghy & pull start it, row the dinghy & heave it up onto the transom. I am elated. I signed up to 12 week course, so that the exercise regime would become a habit. Personally I think if anyone really wants recovery then that is a desirable plan, 4 weeks just wouldn’t have been enough for me. Thank you Ian, see you next week!Posted on Google![]()
