Reviews of St Paul's Physio

Alex has been exceptional throughout my dealings with him. I have found his service to be excellent and the fact that he was emailing me whilst away on holiday says it all about how passionate he is. I would recommend his practice to anyone I know as he is highly experienced and knowledgeable. If you have any pre existing injuries or concerns then give Alex a call!

B. L.

10/10. Alex was the best physio i've seen. He helped to diagnose a rare ankle injury i've got which i wouldn't have got elsewhere. Don't hesitate to use this physio and you wont be disappointed.

G. P.

After many consultations and treatments I was recommended Arti Shah at the St Paul's physio. Although I had to travel a few miles to see her it was so worth it. Her training and expertise was second to non in dealing with my neck problem. I now feel like a new person as she even sorted problems I didn't know I had (I was just aware I was in pain all over). I would recommend Arti, such a lovely lady.

D. D.

Alex McCall is one of the best examples of a kind, caring, concerned, considerate, sympathetic and understanding human being you could ever wish to meet. About 10 years ago he went out of the way and above and beyond to help change my life for the better and move me away from a world of great pain and suffering. Thank you Alex ever so much.

After hurting my back in September 2020 I felt at a loss after doctors appointments and medications that didn't work. A friend recommended St Paul's physio and I am so thankful that they did! I started seeing Andy in November of 2020 and within 2 months my back is so much better. I am so grateful for everything Andy has done for me from targeting the area of my issue and giving me everything I needed to sort out my back. He and his team were so lovely, warm, friendly and make you feel at ease, especially during Covid. Highly recommend to anyone who needs a good physio!

C. P.

I have received treatment from Alex, Andy and Arti over the last few months for lower back pain and sciatica. All therapists are extremely personable, highly skilled and professional. Most of my sessions have been with Arti who has been exceptional and very patient with me. Arti always puts my mind at rest and eases my anxiety and pain. Karen who manages the practice has also been exceptional. It is an absolute pleasure to visit the practice and be in the company of such amazing people. Thank you for everything you have done for me. You are all truly amazing human beings!

C. S.

I have visited the practice twice seeing Alex and Andy for different problems. Both used exceptional clinical knowledge to draw up a diagnosis and then gave me advice, treatment, exercises and reassurance to treat the pain. I would definitely recommend and will return to ensure I become pain free and back to all functional activities / sport. Karen was also extremely friendly and made me feel at ease prior to the session. Thanks all. You provide a brilliant service.

N. C.

I have been seeing Alex on and off for a few years and the levels of service are exceptional. I not only get high quality advice from Alex, but he is also someone who is willing to go the "extra mile" and as an added bonus, is always a really nice guy to talk to. The advice is always practical (eg recommending stuff to work on) and with the intent of getting you back into sport as soon as possible, but returning stronger. Cannot recommend Alex highly enough frankly and have passed on Alex's details to numerous other fellow sufferers of sports injuries. Nigel

St Paul's Physio was recommended to me by a friend at work and they have been great. I began seeing them a couple months before my ACL reconstruction and continued with them after for rehabilitation. Andy and Alex were both great and so easy to talk to. They were always willing to answer any questions, even outside of appointments. Felt myself progressing really quickly and I am now in the position to play football again even though I was told by the doctor that i was unlikely to play again! Karen was also extremely helpful throughout my time there. I didnt think my rehabilitation would be so enjoyable! Would 100% recommend.Thanks all!

S. S.

The team were great, friendly put me at ease and most importantly helped me. They not only physically helped me but gave me great advice exercises and stretches to do which will continue helping me.

T. H.

After having seen three different physiotherapists for my condition I finally found someone that was great. Andy is so knowledgeable and knows exactly how to work with people. I have a difficult neural condition (thoracic outlet syndrome) and he has been absolutely brilliant. Thank you for all your help, you have really given me a new hope to get better.

Amazing support provide from Alex for my issue, great help during the session, diagnosed issue quickly. Continued to go above and beyond on my referrals and providing support until my issue had made it to the right team. Cant speak highly enough.

P. R.

My partner and I think we are so lucky to have been treated by Alex on a few occasions over the last twenty years ago. Since then I have tried physios nearer to where I live but I have always returned to Alex. No one else compares. I am confident he can fix me, or suggest someone else who can. Alex shows a genuine interest in the whole person - before, during and after the reason you are seeing him. He is thorough, knowledgeable and hugely enthusiastic. His passion for his profession and his dedication are really obvious. He has magic hands and has often sent me on my way feeling 100% better than when I went to see him. This is a huge recommendation from two very happy clients.

S. W.

I was referred to Alex ahead of an operation to correct a failed shoulder stabilisation procedure. I found him both expert and knowledgeable and he gave me a series of exercises that I was encouraged to conduct ahead of the op. His advice on when and whether I should proceed with the op was hugely helpful and I have little doubt that my recuperation was accelerated by the routine that he had given me. We met again post op and his advice and encouragement were again excellent. He is a highly competent and interesting chap (with a great line in jokes and anecdotes) and I would highly recommend him and/or his practice if you also suffer from shoulder or back issues.

B. O.

I have been a client at St Paul's Physio over the last 3 years. I came across the practice after googling them when desperate to find someone who could help me solve my ongoing back problems. St. Paul's is the first practice I have ever managed to receive an ongoing and comprehensive course of treatment that has worked. My back issues are now resolved and I now visit occasionally for any maintenance work. Alex has been my main consultant and he is excellent. He is an expert in his field and has a clear passion for what he does which is shared by his colleagues in the practice. He has identified quickly any issues and then explained clearly what is going on whilst providing effective treatment and follow up care and appropriate excercises. I would always recommend Alex and the team as I feel I have received quality treatment which is value for money. They are also a thoroughly nice bunch of people to deal with!

H. U.

Alex is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also a generous practitioner. Of course, he helped rehab my tennis elbow, but he answered loads of questions and spent extra time giving advice for free. A true physio professional, and genuine guy. Great experience.

J. H.

Really friendly and professional service. I'd never had physio prior to going to St. Paul's so was a bit unsure on what to make of it all but Rachel was really helpful and made me feel comfortable from minute one. I'd pulled my hamstring and was having problems with my recovery but over the course of a few sessions I could feel solid improvement week by week. The receptionist who took my calls on each occasion (sorry I can't remember her name!) was always very friendly and had a very warm nature too. I can only say good things of my experience at St Paul's and would definitely recommend their services. Thank you for your help!

R. V.

I was skeptical when a friend recommended St Paul's Physio. I had been visiting physios, chiropractors and other back specialists for a persistent back problem for over 5 years with no result and having spent a small fortune. However, Andy quickly worked out what the real problem was and the rehabilitation program has left me pain free. You get what you pay for but here you get so much more. His expertise are worth 10 times the fee and Karen, the lady on reception, couldn't be more friendly. I cant thank them enough for their service.

S. T.

I've just had a physio appointment with Alex which was excellent. He really knows his stuff and diagnosed the problem with my elbow very quickly. He explained why I am having the problems, gave me treatment and advised how to stop it happening again in the future. I found the whole experience very professional and Alex is a thoroughly nice guy. I will definitely recommend to friends and family. I wish I had gone sooner!!!

l. g.

I have been a migraine sufferer for around 7 years and had a long headache history prior to that. After trying several management options i was prescribed Triptan medication which I wasn't happy to take long term. Then I found Arti....! I'm a physio myself and did some careful research before booking to see her. I'm delighted to say my 3 day migraines seem to have gone after 6 sessions of excellent, skillful manual therapy from Arti's expert hands. I'm so relieved for myself (obviously!) but also so proud as a fellow physio that this clinic provides such excellent treatment! I highly recommend this clinic for their expert care and professionalism. Thank you Arti! s

K. S.

After 4 weeks of agony and various consultations with other practitioners, Andy Emms resolved my issue in 3 sessions. The most amazing service. Karen was kind and efficient with rapid booking and Andy exceptionally knowledgable and effective. I cannot recommend this service more highly

P. B. S. L.

The company directors and associates have known Alexander for many years and have to say that his expertise and treatments are fantastic, we always recommend Alex as his such an approachable chap with a wealth of knowledge and everyone who we have recommended him to they then recommend to their friends and family. If you have an issue please don't waste your money with any other physio and give this man a call NOW!

A. K.

I have received a First class level of support from Alex and the team. Thoroughly recommended.

N. M.

Visited Andy after my daughter injured her knee playing sports. What can I say.....superb experience. Not only is Andy very knowledgeable, but he encouraged my daughter through her rehabilitation . Very friendly and honest too. Thank you Andy for everything you have done, my daughter is able to continue where she left off before her injury. Highly recommended

It's no small exaggeration to say I owe Alex my ability to walk. I presented with atypical sciatic nerve pain and Alex was rigorous and persistent in getting to the cause. I will continue to be grateful for the rest of my life that I was seen be someone with the confidence, curiosity, knowledge and instinct that was the reason I was diagnosed in time for essential surgery.

P. M.

Excellent service. I've been visiting Alex and Andrew @ St Paul's for around 10 years, and really appreciate their no nonsense approach and honesty. I believe its worth sticking with "a good one" when you find it, so now travel over 30 miles each way for any appointments and always recommend them to anyone else that needs help.

S. N.

Had a web (zoom) first consultation with Alex. I was nervous this might be possible but with just my ipad and a table we were able to work through the diagnosis and exercise I needed. This was followed promptly with an email detailing how and what I needed to do. I would recommend anyone caught in lockdown to try and sort their issues and niggles out (in my case my shoulder) and Alex and St Paul's physio were exceptional at this. Highly recommended.

O. G.

After breaking my ankle in September I was referred for physio by the fracture clinic. I had a number of sessions with Dave and cannot thank him enough. He was extremely knowledgable and had be back up and running within a shorter time frame than expected, thanks to the various excercises and tips he gave. Karen was extremely helpful throughout the process at all times and I couldn’t recommend St Paul’s Physio more!

M. H.

I began suffering from a headache and burning sensation down one side of my face in April 2018, doctors could not diagnose the cause and all they wanted to do was get me to try lots of drugs for migraines although they admitted I did not fit any if the typical migraine patterns. I refused and began my own search for a cure. I found Arti after searching the internet! My first appt was Feb 2019 and within the 10 -12 sessions of physio, my original symptoms had almost gone completely. The relief was overwhelming. The burning sensation which was 24hrs 7days a week is now gone and my headaches, if I do suffer an odd one, I would now say are just normal. I can' t thank Arti enough for not only providing me a solution and resolving my issue but also for releasing me mentally and emotionally from the daily suffering I was experiencing (and the worry that went with it).Thank you xxx

Brilliant service from Alexander from start to end- he quickly diagnosed my knee issue and showed me two exercises to start doing which worked with immediate effect! This followed with 3 additional check up sessions to ensure it was all working. Overall great service and banter (!)

S. P.

Thorough, Friendly + Professional. I spoke to Alex regarding an injury sustained at work. After an initial fact finding conversation with him, the information and diagnosis I received was exceptional! Not only was his understanding and knowledge of the condition second-to-none, but he also referred several articles for me to read in order to fully understand the area specific to myself. I would fully recommend him to anyone looking for a decent Physio!

R. H.

Alex was incredibly supportive and patient when I was troubled with a chronic pain for 9 months. I felt confident in his diagnosis and his treatment has allowed me to feel the best I've felt in ages. Thank you!

F. S.

I’m a runner, I need to run, injury and issues happen so getting back on track is all that matters. These guys have worked through: A back issue Knee issues Calf issues Ankle issues Sciatica And got me running again or limiting the amount I make it worse. Service is excellent, professional yet friendly. They have helped me stay on point for marathon goals and speed sessions on the track giving exercises, stretches and advice to minimise time off.

I. J.

Absolutely brilliant service. After just a few sessions with Arti, I am no longer suffering with back pain and have a good understanding of the underlying cause of it. Arti was professional yet friendly and really took the time to explain everything to me in detail. It's made such a difference for me. I will be recommending to anyone in need of physio. Thank you Arti :)

k. c.

Hi I had sacatic nerve pain in my left leg. Went to st. Paul's was seen quickly by Arti and then by Andy. They new what my problem was. They both did a great job and got me fixed quite quickly.sooner than i expected. I would absolutely recommend going to them if you have sacatic pain. If it hasn't got better in has not in one week. Don't. Waste time and money trying to self trest yourself go to physo. Thanks to Arti y Andy

M. G.

This was back then in Jul-2019, but i am writing the review now. I was suffering from BPPV condition, nothing was helping, did all sorts of exercises advised by GPs, but still it never went 100%. I found this physio through web search and got cured by Arti in 20-30 min, that proved the standard of service was just too good.

K. B.

Now we don’t all revel at the thought of having Physio let’s face it. I only have praise for Alex. I had physiotherapy and acupuncture to resolve my impinged nerve issue. I had thought I was going to be stuck with the pain and pins and needles and then I was referred to him. Fantastic, consistent service and very easy to talk and explain things to. I would t hesitate to visit again. Thank you

After my 7yr old daughter suffered a nasty elbow dislocation she was told by different doctors that she would be out of dance for up to 6 months. Evie had around 6 sessions and was back competing within 6 weeks! Her confidence and strength was rebuilt during this time. We cannot thank the staff enough for their patience and support.

A. R.

Absolutely amazing is all I can say! I suffered from vertigo and BPPV for nearly 3 months where episodes were becoming longer and unbearable. St Paul’s Physio were so helpful and were able to book me in straight away. Arti was lovely, keeping me calm at all times which I cannot thank her enough for - as having BPPV was really having a negative effect on my life. Arti explained in detail about why I was getting some of the headaches with BPPV. She did manoueveres to help ease the dizziness and after two/three appointments I can safely say it’s been 6 months and I’ve not had an episode since. I noticed a difference after the first appointment and the constant headache I had disappeared. Thank you so much Arti and all at St Paul’s Physio. I will highly recommend you again and again!

Z. P.

Alex has magic hands - he gets to the route of the problem - identifies the issue and gives a solution. Alex and his team are experts in their field, they are professional and have an excellent bedside manner. There practice is second to none. I would not and have not hesitated in recommending Alex and his team.

m. m.

The physiotherapist Andrew Emms has been working with me since I had a quad bike injury. I've had excellent service and my mobility has virtually gone back to normal, with the thanks from Andrew as the physiotherapist. Can't thank him enough.

K. D.

I would highly recommend St Paul’s Pysio. The whole team are very welcoming and put you at ease and Andy is very knowledgable and has helped me regain the use of my arm again after suffering from a very painful frozen shoulder. I thought I would end up requiring long term medication or at worst surgery, it was so debilitating until I went to St. Paul’s and Andy helped me. Thankyou!

J. C.

Really nice Physio and Ahmed was fantastic, really enthusiastic, knew his stuff, it's been just over a week since my visit and everything we went through for my shoulder have proved invaluable! Definitely recommend 👍🏼 thanks St Paul's Physio

S. B.

Brilliant service and super warm people! I was having neck problems for over a month, and after just a handful of sessions with Arti the pain has gone and she taught me exercises to keep it away :) I will definitely recommend this centre to family and friends!

S. D.

Having suffered for a year and a half with terrible pain from muscle spasms, due to disc degeneration and feeling very low as no one seemed to want to listen, Andy has performed a miracle! Just 2 sessions later and I feel like a new person. Most importantly he listened and understood how frustrating it is to be in constant pain and doped up on meds. Thank you, cannot recommend enough.

J. F.

I was treated by Arti for neck pain and restricted movement of my neck; I could not look up or side to side. I was also getting migraines every week, some lasting three days. After my first session with Arti I had freedom of movement in my neck and I have gone for three weeks since treatment without experiencing a migraine. Thank you Arti, you have no idea the difference you have made to my life.

S. V. H.

I have had an on going hip injury for months now and after having a very detailed appointment with Alex 4 weeks ago, I am now running injury free. I came away knowing exactly what the problem was and how to fix it - delighted with the service and I would hightly recommend Alex, thank you!!

D. N.

Had a couple of sessions with Arti as I was struggling with patella tendinitis. She did a great job of diagnosing this and giving me exercises to build the strength back up but also explained what causes it so I can try and avoid it recurring. Thanks!

V. B.

Before visiting St Paul’s I had suffered for years with back problems. Alex not only knew what the problem was he started treatment immediately as I haven’t looked back since. I cannot thank the team enough always professional, friendly and approachable.

J. G.

I have just completed my third session with Andy. He was extremely helpful, professional and has done some great work on the issues that I had. Hopefully I won't need any more physio for the time being, but if I do I shall certainly return here.

T. B.

Greeted each time by a lovely friendly receptionist then a wonderful physiotherapist, Arti who was just wonderful. Thank you all for making my pain go away. Fantastic people.

I've seen Dave and Arty for different types of physio and they have both been professional and extremely effective. I'd recommend St Paul's Physio time and time again.

S. F.

Extremely knowledgeable, extremely helpful and always available to help. A genuine pleasure to deal with and always makes an injury feel less serious than first feared (a key element of a good physio).

H. J.

Professional, easy going , knowledgeable . Really worked . Went for first appointment in agony having lost several nights sleep. I was seen asap by Alex. Problem solved after second appointment. Totally recommend . Thank you.

S. R. Y.

Thank-you Ahmed for being so kind and warm from the moment I arrived to the moment I left. I arrived feeling really sorry for myself and in despair and left with a big smile and feeling positive! Really informative and every minute was made the most of, definitely value for money. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you

P. C.

Its worth every penny to talk to the experts rather than Dr Google! Andy and Alex are great and get straight to the point in a friendly and relaxing manner. I can't recommend them enough!!

L. K.

Have used these guys twice now. Once for damaged knees pre marathorn and once for my back. I have recommended them to several family and friends. Excellent service highly knowledgeable-can’t recommend highly enough.

N. G.

Although done remotely, Alex was superb in diagnosing an issue with my knee and assigning exercises to rehab it which have helped enormously.

J. M.

St Paul's made a great effort to fit in an emergency treatment at short notice which was very much appreciated. Alex is very knowledgeable and provides a very professional service. Very highly recommended.

I went for treatment for a 'frozen shoulder' and I'm really pleased with the outcome. The physio was professional/knowledgeable/experienced and skilled.

J. D.

Great practice! The whole team is very friendly and professional. I was struggling with neck and shoulder problems and was helped out in two session by Andy.

r. j.

Excellent reception staff. Personable and knowledgable physio (treated by david). helped resolve my shoulder, hip and back trouble in a short period of time. Thank you
