Great appointment with Rhian for Mummy MOT

March 18, 2026

Had a mummy MOT with Rhian 8 weeks post partum. She was great- really thorough and professional, made me feel at ease during the the perineal check. Would recommend to everyone post childbirth!

Through examination of injury and prognosis

First visit to meet Ben and his pleasant manner puts you at ease making you feel you have known him for years.

My examination was not rushed and his thorough exploration explaining each action as he proceeded. Definitely would not hesitate to recommend or revisit

Virginia is a wonderful physiotherapist, highly skilled, kind, and reassuring. She really listens and explains everything clearly, tailoring treatment with great care. I’ve felt a real improvement and am so glad I found her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Arthritis in knee

November 12, 2025

Been suffering with my knee / right leg for a few weeks / today I visited Rhian who listened to all my ailments and in particular my right knee/leg issues. She explained everything in detail and clearly and explained how to use my crutch / walking stick properly (I was doing it wrong) gave me exercises to do at home and I felt listened to and she was brilliant. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you Rhian.

Virginia really helped relieve the muscle tension in my upper back and neck, and the nerve issues I was having have really eased off with practicing the excercises she gave me. Thank you!
