Testimonials
The treatment i received was brilliant and after 8 sessions, i have walked away feeling new and fresh. I mainly had treatment from Stelios who is absolutely brilliant and listens to you carefully to ensure he finds the problem and gets to work on it straight away. I had a session from Richard too and just like Stelios, his professionalism is top shelf!
I could not fault this place and would not hesitate to return if i need any further physio.
I have to mention though that Jo on reception is ace! She has been very flexible with my awkward work shift patterns fitting me in so i could attend my appointments without too much time between sessions and without her help, it wouldve been a struggle!
Thank you very much Active Physiotherapy Whitefield!
I’d had physio previously as I hadn’t been able to turn my head to the right for months and my neck was so sore.
Stolios was really clear it would improve, would need 4/5 sessions and that doing the exercises was essential to recovery. After 2 weeks I was starting to doubt. By week 3 there was good progress, 4 sessions and we were done. Clear instructions to keep up the exercises. Seriously, life changing. Significantly reduced pain, and 90% + mobility. Thank you!
