Saw Gin today as been struggling with pain from groin to knee due to osteoarthritis in hip. Gin was very kind and knowledgeable. Did some soft tissue massage and great advice on exercises to strengthen the muscles.

  Highly recommend PhysioAtOne, following  a long-standing injury Gin got to the root of the problem and provided a  rehab programme and treatment that worked for me, now feeling 100% times better, fully fit and back to my training routine. Thanks Gin!

  Gin made me feel very comfortable and talked through the issue in depth. Following some magic thumb manipulation the pain is gone with just one treatment. It’s wizardry in my eyes and I can get on with life as normal again. 1st class professionalism for such a modest cost and better than waiting six months in pain for an NHS appt. Would definitely recommend to anyone as a 10 out of 10.

  Excellent and friendly physio treatment from Gin at PhysioAtOne. I got a very quick response to my initial enquiry and a first appointment to deal with a knee injury within just a few days. The first appointment was a detailed assessment with clear explanations of what was wrong and demonstrated exercises of how it might be put right. By the end of that day I had a personalized treatment plan and app emailed to me. Two weeks later, at the follow up session, the results are speaking for themselves with increased flexibility and strength. I would and will recommend her to others.

  During the start of the summer tennis season, I picked up a shoulder problem which really effected my serving. It got to the point where I couldn’t serve without a lot of pain so I went to see Gin. After a session with Gin, she worked out the issue and gave me a lot of exercises to do in the mean time. Since then, I have not had any issue at all with my shoulder and am playing completely pain free.
