Explanation

I’ve seen Matt for two separate issues in the last 12 months or so (slipped disc in my lower back and a torn knee ligament) and can honestly say he is an outstanding physio. Very competent and knowledgable with an enthusiastic approach to treatment and recovery. Matt’s very responsive to any questions / advice required outside of booked sessions which is really refreshing. I’d have no hesitation in recommending Matt. He’s a brilliant physio. Thanks for all your help Matt!

Explanation

Matt is just brilliant at what he does, I have seen him several times over the last few years for various shoulder and arm injuries. He puts you at ease straight away and explains everything in layman’s terms so you can understand what is going on. He is very thorough in the treatment he gives, and is always ready to change things if something is not working. He assesses at every session and is ready to try something new, like the shock wave therapy I am currently having for tennis elbow. Matt is also very easy to get along with and obviously very passionate about what he does. If you need physio, Matt is the person to go and see.

Matt, quickly became my “Go To” physio. Being fortunate to have private medical cover, there is a large pool of physio’s to choose from either in London or Chelmsford. From the first ever session that I had I felt that Matt was different. He clearly listened to your issues in order to develop a thorough understanding (rather than quickly jumping into manipulation/exercises). He sets out manageable target’s following each session which keeps you motivated and ensures that you are able to make progress with your rehabilitation. His approach really lifts your mood and helps you remain positive throughout. I have had loads of physio sessions in my life and Matt is up there with the best of them - if not the best.

Very approachable, welcoming and thorough. Matt soon put me at ease. Will certainly be my ‘go to’ should I ever need a physio again. Thanks Matt.

Matt is super friendly and made me feel comfortable from the first appointment and all the following ones. He was helpful when I had questions even if it was outside of the appointments. All the things we spoke about in regards to my back were explained perfectly and I always felt like I knew what I was doing and was happy to do so which kept me motivated to keep at the exercise plan.

I couldn't recommend Matt highly enough. He is extremely knowledgeable and personable, and always explained everything very clearly. From the first session, I was immediately aware of what the plan was and what was required to get me back to sport. Matt regularly checked in with me to ensure my progress was going as planned and to keep the motivation high. I have had a complex Patella Tendinopathy issue that I have been struggling with for a few years now, but ever since seeing Matt my condition has improved and I am now almost back to playing football - which was the ultimate goal. I am extremely grateful to Matt for his work.

Matt is extremely knowledgeable and explains things really well. He has been working with my daughter who is a high level gymnasts with an hamstring injury. We’ve seen many physios on the NHS and privately but the injury keeps reoccurring. The injury prevents her from doing most things which isn’t great as a high performing gymnast. Matt’s programme has worked so well. My daughters injury seems to have gone since using Matt’s programme. So glad we found Matt!!

I’ve been to see Matt for a few diagnosis and treatments over the years and I would hands down not want to see anyone else. The majority of my injuries have been sport related and Matt’s knowledge and expertise in the field is extensive and thorough, he doesn’t leave anything unexplained and gives a detailed explanation to the reason why said injury may have occurred and the reason behind why he is recommending the treatment / exercises. He always requests regular visits to check-in on progress and fully adapts new plans to the current state of play. He is a very friendly, down to earth and approachable person. I trust his judgement.
