Reviews of Optimal Physio

c. p.

Great experience in the clinic in recent days during my recent visit for my sports massage therapy appointment with Beth Vance. I got a wonderful welcome from staff and it the clinic had a great vibe around it as someone who has mild learning difficulties of Cerebral Palsy I can sometimes find it challenging going into certain types of environments. It made it far better knowing and having had Beth as a trusted therapist for 9.5 years prior to the most recent visit and Beth already had a great understanding of what I require as a client so it made it far better for me and easier for myself to adopt Beth explaining everything to me. As a clinic Optimal are very fortunate and extremely lucky to have somebody of Beth Vance’s quality and calibre and expertise. I look forward to being welcomed back to Optimal physiotherapy Clarkston very soon.

I had a prolapsed disc in my back, suffered from sciatica and in a lot of pain. Recommended by a friend I went to optimal physio to help with my recovery. I was seen first by Kirstie and then by Steven. Was given exercises, massage and advice how to manage pain and recover from injury. With there help I have made a full recovery and pain free. Just recently went to Canada and had an active holiday. This would not have been possible without there help and treatment. All the staff were friendly, helpful and professional. They treat the whole person not just the injury.

Fantastic experience! Excellent knowledge from the team at Optimal Physio. I went with what was diagnosed as a tendinopathy in my right arm. It was treated with shock treatment and I was given a plan to move forward with. All of questions were answered which were easy to understand, and clearly came from someone who knows their subject. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Everyone at Optimal Physio is very welcoming and friendly. Darren enabled me to recover from an extremely painful back, through sciatica and relapses, (my own fault), to being able to touch my toes, yeh!! Many thanks Darren, I couldn't have done it without your expert help. Take care everyone, thanks again.

Previously I had been running 70/80 km a week, playing football and fitness was an integral part of my lifestyle. Not only for my physical wellbeing but so important for my mental health too. A pain began in my groin that would stop me from enjoying exercise but would force me to rest and even miss out on social activities. This went on for 2 to 3 years and even at the age of just 35 I began to think that maybe I was just getting old and would have to give up running. Eventually I contacted the NHS who over the next few months tried to diagnose the problem, including X-rays to my hip and various other tests that never got to the root of the problem. By this time I had put on weight, my mood was low and I had given up running and football due to the pain and discomfort it created. I moved to Glasgow and decided enough was enough and I would begin to look for a way to recover. I did a web search and Optimal popped up. The more I researched the more Optimal popped up, reading the reviews also made me decide that I would contact Optimal and make an appointment. From the first appointment Steven was able to confidently diagnose my problem and told me that although it would be a lot of hard work he would be able to help me recover. To be honest I was so low at the time I really didn’t know if I believed him but I was willing to try. I found the exercise app and encouragement from Steven one of the things that helped keep me on track. Steven and I talked about what I was missing out on, my goals and how much returning to running and football would mean to me. Having never done any strength and conditioning the programme was tough and new to me but I stuck with it and started to see the benefits. Now I am back to my old self and running 5km in 20 minutes. Something I thought was no longer possible! I cannot thank Steven enough for not only listening to me but also believing that I could get back to my activities. He has always been there to support me when I have doubted the process and I could not have recovered my identity and sense of purpose without committing to the plan of care so carefully constructed by Steven and the team. I would highly recommend Optimal, not just because they have taken the pain of my injury away but because they were empathetic and supportive and helped me find the things I lost from before I decided to pursue my recovery.

Having suffered from back pain for 8 years I had pretty much given up any hope of it ever going away. I seen Darren who diagnosed the injury and gave me a course of stretches & exercises which I did on a daily basis and my injury cleared up within the Month. My back feels fantastic and I am very grateful for the help, would highly recommend

c. T.

Excellent and personal service from Steven at Optimal Physio Rapid and accurate diagnosis of my knee problem. Graded stretch and exercise programme has produced a much better than expected result and stimulated enthusiasm for return to active exercise and sport.

Went for my consultation meeting today with Kirstie and was very impressed by her professionalism and friendly personality. We agreed my Plan of Care and I look forward to seeing the improvements in my condition over the coming weeks. My dealings with Optimal Physio from my first contact with them has been excellent. From my experience with them so far I’d definitely recommend them and hopefully in a few weeks time I’ll be able to confirm an improvement in my condition (following on from all my hard work!!!).

Great experience of working with Steven and the team at Optimal Physio. Steven has treated me with a few sports related injuries. Steven is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain things. He understands both the physical and mental impacts of missing out on sports and hobbies and was really passionate about getting me back to those sports. He is focused not only on treating the injury but also on helping to prevent and reduce the risk of future injury. I would most definitely recommend Optimal Physio to anyone looking for a good physio!

I thought pain and stiffness were a normal part of ageing and that limits on everyday activities just had to be accepted. Then, over a few weeks, my left shoulder became stiff and painful, I was unable to put on my jacket and the pain kept me awake at night. I attended Steven and after a thorough assessment he diagnosed a frozen shoulder. He prescribed a course of exercises, with a helpful online exercise video, to do between visits. After 6 visits the shoulder regained most of its flexibility and the pain reduced markedly. I continued the exercises until the problem was resolved. I’ve learned that getting old (I’m 71) does not mean you have to accept painful stiff joints.

I had a consultation with Optimal after sustaining a golfing injury. Kirsty was great at identifying the problem and gave me the right exercises to aid my recovery. With each visit she would tweak the programme slightly and I've seen huge improvements over the last 5 weeks. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

C. S.

Highly recommend the team at Optimal Physio. Broke my foot after falling over the dog and spent 11weeks in a boot feeling I would not be able to cycle or go on long walks again. They explained fully what my injury had done to my foot and put together an excellent rehab programme, that was emailed to me after every session, with great encouragement and now I am pain free and back to full fitness. Thank you for giving me back my confidence and ability to enjoy my hobbies again.

I bring my own problems, as I still play competitive squash and racketball into my 70s. So once or twice a year a calf pings, a shoulder strains or a ham gets strung. I have been going to Stephen for years now, and he will always sort me out, after some initial manipulation; but more specifically giving me the right stretches to correct things , with input as to how I avoid the same injury again. He is very knowledgeable and always wants to get me back playing soonest, which is something I really appreciate !

S. A.

First went to see Steven over a year and a half ago, not being able to walk much due to Achilles issues on both feet, short term exercises to help with pain management into long term goals have finally got me back to being normal again, Steven was very good at explaining each muscle and why I was feeling pain. Couldn't recommend them highly enough for anyone that's struggling with pain management and can't seem to ever get back to normal. Thanks again guys!!

Today I met with Kirstie for an initial consultation and treatment, and I am now feeling extremely positive about moving towards being injury free. Kirstie was very thorough in her assessment of my injury and has provided a detailed plan of exercises to aid my recovery. I feel extremely confident in her diagnosis and the recommended treatment. I have been emailed exactly what to do and have access to an app with my exercises pre-loaded so that I can track my progress. I also have to mention the beautiful practice and very high standard of cleanliness. The whole experience has been wonderful and I look forward to future appointments with Kirstie to monitor my recovery and to keep moving towards my goal of returning to the types of exercise I love!

M. B.

Top quality physio care from an experienced Professional. Thorough initial consultation with clear explanations of my condition, the treatment required and expected outcome. Treatment has progressed well with a clear plan to follow backed up with personalized summaries available on the PhysioTools App.

I. F.

Googled Optimal Physio by chance. Steven McLean diagnosed my longstanding, lower back problem, within mins. His direct application of physio and accompanying video exercises worked wonders for me within short period of time. I now have a mobility and ability to walk again without the associated years of discomfort. Would thoroughly recommend this Practice.

J. M.

Optimal Physio was the best experience from start to finish. I was apprehensive after an injury but I was made to feel so at ease and I am now fully recovered and back to running. Wish I went earlier!

D. C.

Had an excellent first session with Darren, who was thorough in finding out background, history and issues with injuries. Pleasant manner, informative throughout and thoroughly professional in all aspects of the job.

D. J.

Had an excellent rehab journey with Steven at Optimal Clarkston. Not only excellent with his knowledge of the body, but was instrumental in getting my head/mentality in the right place for recovery too. Couldn’t recommend more

D. S.

Have really benefited from Steven's advice and treatment for my arthritic ankle. Thanks to him I am confidently continuing to run and manage the symptoms.

b. h.

Iam glad I found Steven as I have had back problems for years. After just a couple of visits there was a great improvement in my condition. I wish I had found Steven ages ago as Iam sure I would have had years of pain free back problems. Try him he is superb.

R. O.

At a very difficult time the team and especially James were great helpful and the treatment plan he designed for me worked. Excellent service with a smile. Rick

Z.

Highly recommend. I had a foot injury with a painful right ankle for about 5 months and asked Steven for help. He diagnosed over the online session and explained the cause and solution clearly and patiently. During the face-to-face appointment, he used the technology to assess my walking and running gait and visualise my problem for a better understanding. The tailored recovery and exercise plans were encouraging and effective. It’s been really great to get back to running and football now. For me, the service from Steven was not only just a physiotherapy but also a re-comprehension of the sports with decreasing risks and injuries and proactive recovering. I will be always appreciated the support from Steven and highly recommend Steven and Optimal Physio.

I. W.

Highly recommended. Had pain in both knees and was concerned running may be harming them as well as the daily discomfort. Steven diagnosed over an online session and was very positive and reassuring, explaining clearly cause and resolution. It was great that I could proactively tackle the problem without stopping running. He had a very positive approach and realistic timeframe using progressive home exercises and follow up online sessions which were very effective. He also provided very useful information on injury prevention and the app is great with videos and tracking.

C. M.

This was my first experience of attending a physio and I was very impressed with Steven's breadth of knowledge and professionalism. He takes a holistic approach to therapy with the result that I have come away with the original issue/pain resolved and a clear long-term plan for maintaining my strength to prevent further injury. Thank you!

M. R.

The service and support Steven provided was exceptional and any client is very fortunate to have access to plethora of services like optimal physio offers. Over many years I had pain in my knees/back/ankles whilst running and exercising. Steven undertook a very thorough analysis of my condition and explained very succinctly what the nature of my issues were. He then provided a tailored recovery and exercise plan for me and was very encouraging and supporting throughout the entire process. Always available to answer questions or update the exercise plan accordingly. For me, the service Steven provided was not restricted to the physical recovery, it was his knowledge, engagement and understanding of mental health and emotional support for sport and physical recovery that was nothing short of phenomenal. I honestly cannot put into words how grateful I am to Steven and optimal physio and would highly recommend. Exceptional service.

B. C.

I had a whiplash injury from a cycling accident with a very painful, stiff neck for 6 months. Tried another physio prior with not much improvement. Steven was great and helped me get back to normality and 2 months later I have no pain and full movement again! Great service, with online consultations available and always very informative about the injury and treatment plan. Any question in between appointments was replied to very quickly. Great to have app to monitor/remind of exercises to do

L. M.

I have seen Steven for a couple of issues in the past and most recently for a shoulder problem. Due to Covid everything was done by video which worked surprisingly well. Focus was on getting pain relief first, then a full rehab. My exercises were also specifically geared to get me back to playing golf. Very happy to recommend. Always remember that you and the physio are a team and you do have to stick with the exercises provided to you to get the best results.

C. A.

Steven has been brilliant in assessing links between past and current injuries. Using technology to properly assess my gait (both walking and running) and then visually show the results has helped me to understand a) the problem and b) the therapy plan. The app is a great reminder to do the rehab exercises. Can't fault Steven's care and professionalism at all - thank you for all your help!

B. G.

I attend for neck trouble that was resulting in headaches which have now gone and I have considerably better mobility and movement in this area now

C. M.

I started treatment at Optimal Physio with Ryan for lower back pain. He gave me exercises to do regularly and I have seen real improvements in the pain after a couple of weeks and sessions. Very friendly and professional - I would recommend.

C. D.

I have used Optimal Physio a couple of times now for two separate problems and would highly recommend them. Steven was excellent. He took time to fully understand the problem and what it meant for me, manage my expectations and set realistic goals. By following his exercises, my function was hugely improved and pain gone. It’s a little bit out of the way at Mearns Castle but made up for by the very easy parking.

M. S.

I've been to optimal physio (Steven) for a number of years with various sport/gym related injuries and even for a sport massage and its always been a great service. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for any sort of physio.

G. T.

Delighted that I decided to give physio a go. After suffering a year with constant wrist pain, I am completely pain-free after only two sessions with Steven, Optimal Physio. I am now back to doing what I love, boxing! Thank you so, so much!

B. H.

Great physio. Have been going to Steven off and on fir a while and delighted with results. New premises are fantastc and hughly recommend Optimal.

E. T.

I went to see Steven McLean at Optimal Physio earlier this year to try and sort an ongoing injury that had been causing me trouble for almost 6 months. I had already seen 2 other physiotherapists at another clinic for my issue and hadn't made any progress at all. But after my first appointment with Optimal Physio, I felt like I was on the right track. Steven is very knowledgeable, took time explaining what he thought the problem was and gave me a very thorough exercise plan. I've had many follow up appointments, initially at the clinic, and more recently, via video call and finally feel like I'm well on the road to recovery. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Steven to anyone.

S. W.

Had experienced knee pain on and off for nearly three years which started getting progressively worse and in the first appointment was diagnosed and given exercises to strengthen the weak areas, 8 weeks later I am almost pain free and able to keep going with my active lifestyle. Great support and encouragement along the way, loved the use of the app to remind you of the exercises given and daily reminders if you hadn't checked off that you had done them.

D. J.

I recently attended Steven McLean at Optimal Physio. They are very professional and explain clearly what your symptoms are and the best way to manage them for your recovery. I would highly recommend them they are excellent physiotherapists.

A. S.

Was recommended to Steven by a friend after having quite a crippling back injury.Being a self employed plumber this was begginning to inhibit my ability to work and earn a living and was also mentally draining my get up and go.Steven helped me greatly, first diagnosing a problem with my QL and then thoroughly setting out the process of recovery.The exercises provided by Steven has allowed me to see month on month improvement,he also helped with the mental aspect as this can drag you down as much as the phsical injury and offered a wealth of knowledge around the many aspects of recovery.Now firmly on the way to a full recovery and Optimal Physio will be my first port of call in future.Higly recommended.

P. M.

Superb treatment from Steven. Delighted with the result. Steven provided a great service despite the ongoing lockdown restrictions. Highly recommended.

B. M.

Top class sports massage with Beth. Priceless 👌🏽

P. M.

I would definitely recommend Steven. Due to lockdown my appts were carried out virtually and this was a great success. My excercise programme was fully explained and results achieved very satisfactory.

B. M.

30min appointment was excellent for the diagnosis and treatment for a small issue I had. Finished with excercises to strengthen the area and a program to move forward with to overcome the issue but more importantly to help prevent any reoccurrence. First class service,highly reccomended.

S.

Excellent service. Steven had me back walking again very quickly after pain in my right foot.

L. A.

Attended Steven for plantar fasciitis at the end of last year and would highly recommend him First class treatment David Abercrombie

C. G.

Attended Optimal Physio at the Golf Acadamey in Newton Mearns and was delighted with the service and treatment of my injury. Left the appointment with confidence in how to improve the issue my knee was giving me.

B. A.

Busby AFC were delighted to start a new partnership with Steven, Graeme and the rest of the Optimal Physio team at the Newton Mearns branch. Graeme, in particular, has provided a top class service to many of our Junior, Youth and Amateur players at our weekly clinic that we have been holding in conjunction with Optimal Physio. This allows our players to have their injuries assessed in a high quality facility complete with exemplary post-treatment service which includes personalised rehabilitation programmes being emailed to the individual immediately to start on their personal road to recovery. All the staff at Optimal Physio have been extremely approachable and understanding with all of our players/coaches and we look forward to this continuing long into the future.
