I highly recommend Matt! Matt was recommended to me following my ACL surgery after feeling let down by a previous private physio. He has been extremely thorough and knowledgeable from day one, which helped me understand the recovery process properly and put my mind at ease. He is motivating and always takes the time to answer any questions.
Matt is clearly passionate and has a wealth of knowledge in his field. He made me understand my condition and the mechanics behind it. With his support I feel more optimistic about managing my injury
My son struggled with Osgood-Schlatter and Sever's disease for a long time. After visiting Matt, we left feeling completely confident in the personalised plan he created for us. Matt checked in regularly to ensure proper form and was always available to answer our questions. Thanks to Matt's expertise and deep understanding of my son's specific needs, my son is finally pain-free. We cannot thank him enough!
I had a fantastic initial assessment with Matt at The Performance Lab following an Achilles tendon rupture. He is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the biological and mechanical stages of my recovery clearly. He instantly identified specific gait compensations and tailored a safe, data-driven loading program to bridge my rehabilitation perfectly. I left the clinic feeling highly confident in the roadmap ahead. Exceptional specialist service—highly recommended.
I’ve seen Matt for different problems over the years and every time he has got me better. He really knows his stuff and takes the time to listen to what’s important. Recommend highly
I was discharged after Matt assessed and documented my improvement.
I had a torn minuscus that caused me issues with my leg locking up. I called him up and he diagnosed my issue over the phone and then I later came to him to check it out. Would recommend to anyone
