Sam has been a fantastic physio in treating our 10-year-old daughter over a period of six months time, after she broke her elbow requiring a complex surgery. We are truly grateful that our daughter has regained full motion in her elbow, and Sam has been absolutely instrumental for this to happen. Our family has been so fortunate to benefit from Sam’s deep expertise and experience in this field. We have been impressed by how well Sam connected with our daughter, reassuring and encouraging both her and us as parents at each session, whilst giving her specific assignments and tracking her progress. As parents, we felt listened to and understood. Sam provided clear and professional updates/advice in a calm and reassuring manner. His professionalism and perspectives gave us a lot of confidence and trust in the process and “road to recovery”. Sam also very efficiently liaised with the surgeon to ensure continuity of treatment and avoid any miscommunication. Moreover, he did his best to accommodate his schedule around ours. From a more practical perspective, the clinic spotless and modern, easy to access by either public transport or car.

Sam is an excellent physiotherapist. Following shoulder surgery, Sam talked me through what I needed to do to get back to fitness and the likely timescales. He consulted with my surgeon and we worked together over the period of a few months. The result was that I am now back to playing golf and full fitness. Sam explains things very clearly and ensures that increases in exercise and/or working with weights is commensurate with the condition of your injury.

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.

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.
