Physical therapy in Manchester

“Go to John every 3 weeks for cupping and deep tissue massage. He is so professional at what he does, and I always come away feeling relaxed and chilled out. I am getting that way, that I can't wait for my next visit to John's.”

“I was recommended Chris Bramah (Extra Mile Health) by my running coach. Prior to Chris’s treatment I had suffered constantly with hypermobility syndrome. This was made worse by running - which I loved. I was in constant pain every day and found day to day tasks challenging. I went to Chris as a last resort, in the hope that I could live relatively pain free. What I did not expect was that after a few months of treatment/working alongside Chris in the gym, I would to be back running and running better than before! One of the qualities of Chris that sets him above any physiotherapists I have previously seen is his ability to solve extremely complex injuries. He puts it into terms that are easy to understand, and he will take you through the biomechanics. It’s clear that Chris is passionate about his job and cares about the individuals he treats. I attend appointments with Chris regularly. This can be a mixture of treatment or gym work, all of which have been valuable in keeping me pain free. I have had a personalised strength and conditioning plan put together ensuring I’m keeping my body strong. I always look forward to my appointments with Chris as it’s an opportunity to learn, improve and adapt.”

“Exceptional care and superb patient focus. Everything explained in easy to understand language. 12 months into my replacement hip and signed off. Max is a first class surgeon and so down to earth and helpful. I will have no concerns when/if the time comes for hip no 2 to be replaced. No concerns about recommending The Spire Manchester Hip Clinic. Thank you for giving me a new start.”

“I first met Mr Kim in November 2018 when I started to have extreme pain in my right hip. He discussed all my options with me and carried out a hip replacement in Feb 2019. His care, compassion and professionalism throughout the process and the following 12 months was world class. Mr Kim truly cares about his patients and has a wonderful style of communication that shows he truly understands how you are feeling as his patient. I developed degenerative osteoarthritis in my left hip the following year and he suggested we treat that with steroid injections until such point as surgery was necessary. Mr Kim carried out a hip replacement in February 2022 and this time recommended the robotic option and I am happy to say that as we approach 6 months post-op my new hip is working perfectly. I would highly recommend Mr Kim and cannot end this review without mentioning his amazing secretary, Shabnam, who is friendly, efficient and very caring.”

“Mashallah very good brother. This was my first time doing hijama cupping and it all went perfectly. Looked after me and done it the correct sunnat way. Will Reccomend to all family and friends.”

“I’ve been seeing Cheryl since September and it’s been one of the most comfortable and affirming experiences I’ve had in therapy. It was because of her sessions that I felt encouraged to seek out an ADHD diagnosis and Cheryl has been invaluable at helping me make sense of the condition. The warmth, empathy and kindness with which she conducts her sessions have been transformative. Having been to therapy before, this is the first time I’ve felt like a therapist has understood me and been able to adequately assess the cause of my difficulties. After having multiple therapeutic experiences that weren’t helpful, I became resigned at the thought that my issues couldn’t be treated. By understanding the cause of my problems and devising ways to treat them, my sessions with Cheryl have imbued in me a newfound hope and optimism and have given me a more positive outlook on my future.”

“After starting in the Gym with a PT I started getting sciatica on top of my fibromyalgia symptoms and after one session was feeling so much better. I've since had another session and Honestly don't think my body has felt this good for years. Cannot recommend highly enough and will 100% be having semi regular treatment to keep feeling this good!”

“I'm currently on the 100 hour TIY training. It's a very intense, in-depth course and very well thought through. The teacher's understanding and knowledge around trauma and how to safely support someone through Trauma Informed Yoga in their healing is outstanding. The course is set up with a perfect blend of self-enquiry and reflection, practical sessions and theory. I particularly liked the triad work in-between sessions as it gives us a chance to apply what we've learned as well as direct feedback from the other students. Thanks to all teachers for a very valuable course and their compassion and support throughout the course. I will take what I've learned not just into my TIY sessions but all my modalities. I can highly recommend this course.”

“Absolutely fantastic service and very thorough knowledge shared in an easy way with the patient. I come to Jaz for sports massage for me and for posture correction plus sports massage for my teenage son. Jaz is a very professional and dedicated therapist and those sessions are always a treat for me and my son :) Not to mention they work wonders! I would recommend both for people needing physio after an injury and for those physically active to relieve muscle tension.”

“I had stupidly fallen off a ladder and needed some help to get my back moving again after several weeks of pain. I have had two sessions now with Richard and I can confirm that the combination of treatments used have really helped me feel and move much better. I can definitely recommend Richard and would have no hesitation in going back. If you to are struggling I would suggest you give him a try.”

“First massage after lockdown ending. Brilliant. Had a deep tissue massage to put right many of the tight and overused muscles from BJJ and grappling. Felt immediate relief. Perfect way to spend an hour of my time.”

“Best place to go for a sports massage or deep tissue massage. Every time I have been it has helped so much.”

“I came to see Pam when struggling to sleep, during a very stressful period. Pam explained to me how the body reacts to stress and why this can affect sleep. She then taught me to relax and switch off, and taught me not to try and go to sleep - instead just to let go and relax. It became easier to do this as the weeks went on and I haven't suffered with insomnia since. I've felt much calmer and more positive generally. I have recommended Pam to friends (who also found success) and would say to anyone with insomnia or anxiety to give it a try. Pam explained the process very clearly to me and her gentle manner very quickly put me at ease. The sessions take place in Pam's home which is a very relaxing place where you can immediately feel comfortable. You're provided with CDs - free of charge - to continue to practice with at home, so that you can continue the work you do in the sessions. It was a very positive experience and the only thing that has worked for me. I couldn't recommend Pam more.”

“Dr Yu for Accupuncture. Very personable and professional. Highly recommended. I've been to him several times over 3 years for acid reflux, urticaria and even a bad hip. It doesn't hurt and is highly effective. I've coincidentally lost over a stone which I can only put down to his treatment, so good for weight loss too!”

“staff are very friendly and professional. My nails are very beautiful. I'm very satisfied”

“Great, friendly, and well equipped. Great hotel bar with excellent bar meals and 20% off..”

“We have just finished our first term of Adventure Babies with Hannah and it has easily become our favourite class. Hannah is so creative with the props for class, and she does a brilliant job at engaging all the babies and parents. It's just such a lovely group to go to, and we look forward to it every Tuesday. Looking forward to another term coming up for more adventures!”

“Been to see karl twice with a bad back an both times come out feeling like a new man... taught me a lot about why it was happening an how i can help prevent it. Top quality work.”

Be it a beginner or seasoned pro, continuous training is important and ACT4TV is most definitely the best school in Manchester where you will learn something new each week and practice your craft in a safe space surrounded by positive people.”

I would recommend anybody wanting to improve their bodies or feel less stressed to go and see Adrian he's brilliant.”
