Excellent communicators and reported to be some of the most 'personable' and 'approachable' Physios around!

He was always so patient & encouraging, making sure I understood how to do the exercises properly. I really appreciated Tim’s personable, sensitive & compassionate approach in all his dealings with me - I always felt completely at ease with him.
I wholeheartedly recommend his services!
Tim shows true care for patients, great technical knowledge, and very progressive and appropriate rehab programs.
I couldn't recommend him highly enough!
He visited me and after a thorough examination prescribed a series of excercises which he demonstrated himself and made sure I could do them.
He left me with detailed descriptions of the excercises which were very easy to follow. He followed up with 2 more visits and emails and told me it would take 6 months for the sciatica to go.
By June it was gone and has not returned!
He has a great manner and superb knowledge on the matter. He is quick to make sure programs he suggests work for you and is always open to finding alternatives.
I wouldn't hesitate recommending him.
His relaxed manner takes control of the situation and lets you know what has happened, what he will do and gives you guidance for help in the future to negate such injuries as well as deal with the injuries for a speedy recovery.
Top quality !!
He knows what he's talking about, explaining things in an easy to understand way and really listens to fully engage in giving you the help you need.
I have a prosthetic right arm so when I needed physio for my left arm, he took great care to give me exercises that were adapted to what I could manage with my prosthetic arm. I thought my arm would never be OK again, but Tim worked wonders & I'm now as good as new!
Can't thank him enough...he's a complete star!
He really helped me out with shoulder and back issues. Not only did he aleviate the immediate pain but also considered the underlying causes for this and advised me with how I could address these.
He is practical in the exercises that he sets. He provides you with access to an easily accessible online platform to help with the exercises and he was thorough in his assessment and formulation of my physical difficulties.
I would certainly recommend him.
