Very professional in his approach. Gordon explained everything in detail and encouraged me to ask questions to increase my understanding of my mobility issues. His professional approach and knowledgable explanations gave me confidence.

I suffered a minor fracture to my T10 vertebrae (mid-level back). My spine surgeon recommended I see a first-class Physiotherapist, focusing on muscle strengthening around the injured area. I saw Gordon Wilkin at Stirling over a period of 11 weeks and would highly recommend him for quickly assessing my condition and devising the appropriate rehabilitation program to get my back to mountaineering. Thank you.

Gordon is warm, professional and reassuring. Gordon takes time to get to know the issues being experienced to be able to offer the best customised advice. Great experience overall and highly recommend Gordon. My 15 year old feels comfortable and trusts his recovery path under his care.

Very knowledgeable, identified issue quickly and was able to guide me through my rehab. I am back slowly building up my running which I never thought I would be able to do due to ongoing hip pain. So far so good, but I know if I have any glitches along the way I can go back to Gordon for support.

Gordon has been brilliant throughout all of my sessions with him. I’d never had to deal with an injury or ongoing pain before, so going to physio was quite daunting for me, especially as someone who is normally very active. He made me feel comfortable from the beginning and has been really supportive over the last couple of months. I’ve particularly appreciated that he understood how important it was for me to keep active where I could, rather than feeling like I had to stop everything. He helped me find ways to work around my back while I recovered, and I’ve always felt comfortable asking questions or talking through how things were feeling. I’m in such a different place now compared with when I first went in, both with my back and with my confidence around training again, and I’m really grateful for all of Gordon’s help.

Gordon was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what I needed to do to solve the issue with my shoulder. I would not hesitate to make any appointments in the future should the need arise.

Having led an active life through sport, horse riding, my career in the police force and being a farmers wife I have picked up a few injuries that flare up now and again. My last visit was an old neck injury which Gordon has previously treated, he knew immediately how to address the issue and when I left the practice I felt fantastic ! I have exercises to do, which were explained to me by Gordon, so I know why I am doing them and the theory behind them. Having that trust in Gordon that I will receive the correct treatment every time, is immeasurable
