Mr John Daly

I have been having appointments with John for a few months now. He is absolutely brilliant. I come out of each appointment more motivated and positive. He is super practical in his advice and tailors it to my specific circumstances in a way that I find really refreshing. He's not interested in simply alleviating the pain but in helping me get stronger so I"m able to do more over the long term. He's the best physio I've ever come across and I would recommend him highly.

I was initially referred to John by another physiotherapist at PureSports Med for dry needling of my thoracic spine. I was hesitant at first, as I had been working successfully with an all-women physiotherapy and strength team this year, and had previously suffered from overload by male physiotherapists. Given that my main sport is kayaking, I was also unsure whether a running specialist would understand my needs or focus too much on my knees. However, I found John’s approach to be gentle, holistic, and highly personalised. He not only addressed my injuries but also went above and beyond to support my training for an upcoming kayaking race. Throughout our sessions, John helped me rethink my relationship with rest and offered practical guidance on fueling strategies for both race day and training. His advice was tailored to my lifestyle and my rare metabolic condition, and it significantly reduced my pain. The exercises he prescribed were targeted and progressive, allowing me to improve week by week. After reinjuring my shoulder in May—when I could barely lift a kettle—John encouraged a gradual return to sport, helping me stay connected with my community. He also suggested journaling successful training weeks to identify and replicate what worked. I exceeded my expectations by placing third in my race, even while continuing to recover. I highly recommend John to anyone feeling overwhelmed by their recovery, managing multiple injuries, or seeking a practitioner who listens and offers holistic care.
