I had a great experience with Sam. He helped me with shoulder bursitis and impingement and was very understanding, clear, and professional. He provided a structured exercise plan with progress monitoring. Highly recommend.
Sam provided the best physiotherapy care I have received. I had a long standing back injury for well over a year, had seen many different professionals about it, and he fixed it in a matter of weeks. If you are struggling with an issue for a long time and feeling hopeless then he is your guy. He's helped me with various other issues also - he is my go-to physiotherapist for any issues I have now.

Thanks for your feedback, it really means a lot.
Sam was absolutely brilliant. He looked at my injury in the context of my life and what is normal for me Vs what would be normal for the average person. So identified the true root of the problem rather than throwing the easy answer. Highly professional, personable and thorough. Always recommend Sam whenever any teammates have issues.
Sam was a great physio. It was a seamless experience from diagnosis of the problem through treatment. Exercises were clearly explained, though kept flexible to fit my situation, and easy to build on. I would certainly recommend him.

Thank you for your feedback, that is great to hear.
Set me on the right track. Then stopped doing exercises Sam set but symptoms came back. Started excersises again and symptoms went away. Tells me must keep up the regime Sam set on daily basis. He rang me some months after to check up. I liked that. saw yesterday. Vg manipulation again and advice.
Sam has been amazing. I don’t think I’d have the use of an arm if it wasn’t for his expert treatment

We worked hard together with determination! Thank you for sharing your feedback. Sam
Sam is a great guy and consistently provides exceptional, expert advice.

Thank you very much for the feedback, it really is appreciated. Sam
Sam Wilde is the Rolls Royce of physiotherapy. Not just an excellent clinician but one whose compassion, emotional intelligence and levels of care are, I believe, intrinsic to his success rates. I broke my shoulder two years ago in a traumatic incident abroad yet as soon as I came under the supervision of Sam, I knew I was going to get through this. Compared with the NHS staff I've also encountered at this time who could not have been more dismissive of my injury, this was a whole new level of care. I left every session motivated, determined and focused on recovery. And crucially, I enjoyed every session thanks to Sam's easy going manner and gentle sense of humour which lifted the spirits whenever the road ahead seemed too tough to navigate. I would recommend him in a heart beat.

Thank you for such a nice review Fiona. You suffered a tough injury and the road to recovery has been long but you've remained motivated and committed throughout. We got you there together!
Exceptionally experienced and skilled physiotherapist who can treat even the most complex of MSK conditions. He is also an astute diagnostician.
