Matt is an excellent physiotherapist. He was able to accurately diagnose my issue and provide a graduated set of exercises to improve the issue. He was able to demonstrate the exercises and ensure I was competent at completing them before the next review. He is friendly and approachable and I would wholeheartedly recommend him as a physiotherapist to anyone with a muscular or skeletal complaint.
Matt helped me with my right shoulder several years ago and his advice, care and attention sorted it out at the time and has meant I have never had any problems since. I have remained extremely grateful for this because it meant I avoided the surgery which an orthopaedic surgeon was suggesting.
I have just seen Matt again today because of pain in my left shoulder. His explanation was clear and made absolute sense as a reason for what I have been experiencing. He has prescribed me exercises to perform and having clearly explained them to me and their purpose, provided me with paper instructions and a link to videos of how to perform the exercises. I have absolute faith that these will sort me out.
His calm, friendly manner, his clear explanation and his obvious significant knowledge and experience make him an excellent clinician.
Matt was very thorough given it was telephone appointment. He covered all aspects of the problem and had me attempting exercises so to ascertain the seriousness of the problem. He spoke clearly and intelligibly and reassuringly throughout. He explained how the recovery exercise would work and went through them step by step.
I was left in no doubt that if I needed to call I could do so at any time.
Very clear and knowledgeable
I always find Matt very helpful, sympathetic and knowledgeable and come away from the physio sessions feeling positive and motivated.
