Reviews of Pro Health Physio NE
A. W.
Darren had been recommended to me after a fall at netball resulted in an ankle sprain.
After just the first session my physical and mental confidence had skyrocketed, and after a few weeks I was back on the netball court with no ankle supports and no worries that I was going to cause myself another injury.
He explained everything he was doing and why. His knowledge and personality instantly put my mind at ease. Great treatment room and facilities.
Would highly recommend.

Brilliant experience with Pro Health Physiotherapy NE. Darren has helped me from a stage of repair after an injury, progressing to strengthening of the injured area. All sessions were tailored to meet my individual needs. Once the injury had been repaired, Darren developed and put me into a physical training plan that helped my personal and sporting needs. He was highly knowledgeable and able to explain in detail how to improve my injury. Pain free and feeling a lot stronger than prior to injury. Would highly recommend.

Booked an appointment with Darren due to a running hip injury. He was very knowledgeable and able to explain in detail how to improve my injury. After working on the areas suggested by Darren Hip is now pain free.
Darren also offered some advice on how to improve my running technique by analysing the wear on my old running trainers. Looking forward to putting these suggestions into action to hopefully improve the running times.
Highly recommended for any runners!!!

I visited Darren for a post op rehab plan as I was about to have surgery on my knee after suffering with patella tendinopathy for many years. I have seen many physios and doctors in different parts of the world over the course of six years and quite frankly, no one had been able to help me.
SJ at Activate Physio recommended I get in touch with Darren.
After one session, Darren instilled a new confidence and positivity which made me rethink having my surgery. I decided to try Darren's rehab programme and I am so glad that I did.
Not only have I cancelled my operation, I have even started to run again.
If you were to tell me this a couple months ago I simply wouldn't have believed it.
After a few months of the physio plan and guidance from Darren, my life has literally been changed. I can run again and I am not in constant pain.
I cannot recommend them enough.

I have been working with Pro Health Physiotherapy (specifically Alex) for several months now to overcome a hip injury. In 3 months I have gone from not being able to raise my leg without severe pain, to now getting back to full contact sparring thanks to specific exercises targeting my injury, including my overall fitness. I highly recommend Alex for any injuries picked up as he pays close attention to exactly what is required. I have been able to contact him with queries outside of appointments for instant feedback which adds to what is already excellent service. Easy 10/10

I attended Pro Health Physio after having a couple of niggly injuries in a short period of time including a knee, hip and low back issue. I had 4 sessions with Darren and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He did a very thorough assessment and his treatment quickly settled down my symptoms.
The exercises Darren gave me were always challenging and were easily replicable at home and in the gym. I feel stronger than ever and have seen a big improvement in my running form and sports performance as a result. Great mentor and excellent physio service, always left the session with less pain and having learned something new, would highly recommend!
B. L.
Ive known Darren for years now and I will not go to any other physio for my injuries. Even physio's need a physio sometimes!
Very thorough assessment. Specific treatment and rehab approach that matches up to the clinical findings and my subjective assessment. Darren followed up with a phone call to see how I was doing
Great man. Great service. Great coach and great mentor to me.
Cannot recommend Darren and the ProHealth team enough.
R. S.
Alex was my physio and his support and guidance has been brilliant in not only helping me strengthen my knee but build up the confidence to play sport competitively. Alex is engaging, friendly and makes the process of rehab fun. Above all else I have left the sessions with Alex with focus and confidence that I can overcome my long term injury. Would highly recommend him!
C. S.
I went to Pro Health Physio Darren after having different niggles affecting my running and I can't express enough how much I took away in the two sessions I had. Not only was I given the tools and help to improve my running, but also advice for other fitness goals I have coming up and ways to help outside of the gym! Darren is an incredibly approachable and friendly guy, who I'd recommend to anyone. 10/10 service!
A. D.
Darren has been a fab physio. I had torn my MCL, ACL and meniscus. I came to Darren after my ACL reconstruction after seeing a different physio but still struggling a lot with pain. He initially took a thorough history and assessment and developed a program to hit personal goals. I’ve gone form not being able to do much to running in 2-3 months. I feel like my mobility is much better and I’m not getting the same knee pain at all! I’d recommend him as a physio, especially if you’ve had ACL reconstruction as he really knows his stuff!
A. W.
I don’t know where to start, Alex has been amazing and super supportive throughout my rehab post shoulder dislocation. I felt a little bit stuck with how to progress my rehab on my own. I was very nervous and worried incase I did the wrong thing or pushed it too far as the last thing I wanted was to set myself back even further.
Alex was exactly what I needed at that point in time, he was there for me both inside and outside of our sessions and great with answering any questions I had. I definitely would not have progressed as quickly if it wasn’t for the rehab sessions Alex put together to get me back to aerial. Thank you Alex for being there for me, helping improve my confidence with my shoulder as well as my strength!
Highly recommend! Thank you Alex!
j. s.
Fantastic physios! Professional, knowledgable and the best part for me is that it is housed within my gym (Pioneer Performance) so you are able to use the equipment within physio sessions, which is fantastic. I have been attending sessions regularly for around 6 months for my wrist and it has made a huge difference. 100% recommend.
E. C.
Great experience of Rehabilitation with Darren, helping me get back to running after a long term issue with my foot. Helped boost my confidence and trust back into my foot with a personalised approach that was largely gym based and focussed on the required elements that I would need to hit in order to properly get back running! Can't recommend highly enough!
M. H.
Alex was so helpful, knowledgeable and supportive. He really helped me to sort out a knee and hip issue I had as well as helping with my overall strength training. His advice was also very practical and realistic, and he made sure it suited the equipment I had at home and what would be realistic as a longer term training plan. I would definitely recommend Alex and Pro Health Physio.
I. C.
Excellent experience with Alex after he helped me regain confidence, range of movement and strength after my knee injury. Alex goes above and beyond what is expected. We spent a lot of the first appointment discussing my specific hobbies and lifestyle, so he could customise the Physio specifically for my individual goals, rather than just following a standardised plan. The range of equipment in the gym also helps with the extent of difference exercises that can be provided for the individual person.
Would definitely recommend!
C. P.
I can highly recommend Darren at Pro Health Physiotherapy. I saw Darren last year and he was able to diagnose a stress fracture (later confirmed on a scan) Knowledgeable, professional, approachable and very patient (thank you!) I would definitely return.
J. S.
I’ve had a great physio experience from Alex on my knee. Alex is a knowledgable professional and friendly guy, helping not only treat my knee but improve my training and lifestyle to achieve my own personal goals.
I’d highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to overcome injury and progress in their sporting objectives!
S. H.
I’m an MMA fighter fighting for my first title in 2 weeks time. I’ve been working with Darren Finnegan at Pro Health and I can honestly say that I’ve never felt this good during a fight camp. All my injuries and niggles have healed nicely; all credit to Darren. I’m going into my title fight injury free for the first time. Highly recommend Darren and the Pro Health Physio facility.
r. T.
Darren was fab! He educated and treated perfectly. I left his clinic with reassurance and confidence. A very tailored experience with genuine care. Would highly recommend for any injury.
J. A.
Darren at Pro Health Physio was recommended to me by my gym community - and I can see why. Super professional, friendly and most importantly, diagnosed and treated my issue effectively and efficiently. Would definitely recommend
C. N.
I strongly recommend Alex @ Pro Health Physiotherapy NE! He provided me with excellent, highly individualised support that helped me to minimise my pain very quickly. He developed a clear strategy for me to reduce the frequency of my pain reoccurrence moving forward, and I was always in the know with the plan. My long-term adherence to this plan has been made all the more achievable because of the time Alex spent helping me work out how to integrate it with training I already do. If you play sports or are a gym regular, Alex will keep that in mind and teach you how to resolve your issues in a way that is highly relevant to your levels of strength and fitness. He pays great attention to detail and takes care to listen to your input. Thanks, Alex!
G. D.
I can highly recommend this physio practise. I’m an amateur power lifter and a few weeks out from competition I had a sudden pain and massively restricted shoulder and arm mobility which I thought meant I had to stop and miss my comp.
I contacted Alex and he got me in same day and tested my arm. What I thought was an old disc injury turned out to be a massive muscle spasm and his targeted PNF stretching and massage got me back to zero pain within the single visit.
We ended of the visit testing my bench which got me back to 90% of my max with limited warm up time and I got straight back to training and hit a deadlift beltless PB that evening!
If I hadn’t called on Alex and been to see him I’d have done nothing and would have assumed the worst and delayed my recovery.
Cannot recommend highly enough, professional, easy booking system with great receipt and invoice that work seamlessly with my healthcare cash back plans.
Thanks!!! As always!!!
J. J.
I'd tried many physios as well as other forms of treatment before meeting SJ without success. SJ was knowledgeable and very straight forward with what I needed to do to recover. He set the plan and expected me to work hard with my recovery exercises. In time everything he said came to fruition despite me being sceptical at times.
I can't thank SJ enough. A year of being injured and unhappy is now in the past.
I continue to work with Alex in helping me strengthen my rotator cuff and generally move/lift better and appreciate his continued work.
Thank you SJ and Alex :)
E. G.
Absolutely excellent service from Alex & can nightly recommend these guys. I’m currently 7 months pregnant and was having struggles with lower back pain that had been niggling since the start of pregnancy but no clue as to what triggered it, Alex helped a lot with knowledge of where the issue may stem from along with giving me exercises to do to help with the tightness. Alex had so much knowledge about training in pregnancy which was obviously super reassuring to me & also great for me to pick up a few bits to take on as I enter the final stages of my pregnancy. Thanks so much for all the help Alex!
J. H.
Started with Darren to rehab Knee pain, very impressed with the knowledge and guidance given to to get back to full fitness. Would definitely recommend to anyone with a recurring injury.
F. 3.
Thanks very much to Alex at Pro Health Physio! After suffering from some knee pain after running a marathon Alex helped me by showing me lots of strengthening exercises and giving me the confidence to get back to running again! I would highly recommend
D. B.
I was given thorough considered assessments, treatments and an evolving program of exercises which solved the problem for which I attended. It is easy to book appointments, find the place and to park. What more could I ask for? I would highly recommend Pro Health Physio NE.
A. J.
Darren was recommended to me post ankle reconstruction surgery as one of the best ankle specialists in the North for helping elite level athletes get back up to top level.My experience with Darren was of the highest quality and he is one of the very first physios I have ever fully trusted to help get me back playing rugby to the best of my ability.I cannot recommend Darren enough, to anyone trying to get back to a high level sport
H. D.
Very pleased, and grateful, for the professional expertise, advice, and treatment I have been given by SJ and Alex. I am more than happy to recommend this practice to anyone looking for superlative physiotherapy care.
M. N.
Darren is very knowledgeable and a great physiotherapist. I was on the mend from the first session. Highly recommended.
J. S.
I’ve struggled with a hip injury for about 3 years and had never had much success with physiotherapy before. I booked in for a session with Darren after being recommended Pro Health Physiotherapy by my trainer at Pioneer Performance. After the first session I had a clear idea of what the issue was and what was required to correct the issue. It was the first time I had been given personalised exercises that were easy to complete at home. After a few sessions with Darren my hip felt much better and for the first time in a while I felt confident to go back to rowing.
M. S.
I’ve seen Darren for two separate injuries, my shoulder and my lower back, and he was able to help me fix both injuries and I’m happy to say I feel great. Darren is extremely knowledgeable and kind, he was able to explain everything in a way that made it easy for me understand and he made my appointments as fun as they could be under the circumstances. I can’t recommend Darren enough, he is brilliant!
S. I.
I went to see Darren after a trusted recommendation and because my life had become so much smaller due to a long term shoulder injury and a more recent but reoccurring achilles issue. I was anxious but Darren put me totally at ease. Shoulders are quite complex and I hadn’t understood what was causing the issue until Darren explained it to me. This visualisation has strengthened my confidence and focus. Darren also listened carefully as I burbled on about why I wanted to be ‘fully functioning’ again and he kindly plays this back to me; I always leave feeling highly motivated. I am running again, certain that I will get stronger and not break and I am also regaining confidence in my shoulder. Firmly recommended; best physio I have seen.
J. s.
Darren is a great physio. From sporting accidents to chronic pain he’s able to breakdown what’s going on and offer an approach to fixing it that’s easy to use and understand. As a PT it’s rare to come across someone so regularly highly spoken of by so many in the industry.
F. B.
Darren is wonderful. He is extremely holistic and helpful in understanding the underlying factors in injury. I felt he had a good balance of treatment/ rehab exercises. Thank you.
m.
I started seeing Darren after two years of struggling with achilles tendonopathy. He was able to talk me through my injury, how it likely happened, where my ankle was at the time of seeing him and the plan moving forward.
After a few sessions and some work with a PT my symptoms massively improved. A couple more sessions and I am now able to run and play football entirely pain free.
I can’t thank Darren enough. Such a brilliant, kind and informative approach. He explained everything to me step by step and empowered me to adopt new habits that have improved my movement and flexibility immensely.
Would definitely recommend.
L. H.
Darren seems knowledgeable and experienced, but very warm and friendly and clearly committed to helping others. I felt understood and supported despite coming with some complicated issues. Highly recommend
A. E.
By far the best Physio's in the North East! Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The whole team are fantastic.
J. K.
Great experience, Darren was very thorough, checked everything and made the exercises really clear. He also checked in a few weeks after the appointment to see how I was getting on.
J. C.
I have known and worked with SJ for around 7 years and more recently also had the privilege of working with Darren too. Pro Health Physiotherapy is second to none.
I have complete confidence in the referrals I pass on to them if any of my clients are in need of their help - they communicate with me and have quick and detailed input to help us work together in delivering the best service possible.
I have personally seen both Darren and SJ for my own sports performance needs for a variety of issues and cannot recommend them highly enough. Not only in the assessment and practical prescriptions to help me physically, but in how they understand my needs and goals and communicating the journey ahead to me in a way that makes sense.
Simply put, they are the best of the best!
G. M.
Darren was incredibly helpful and supportive with my shoulder injury. I had been struggling with it for about 3 months before finally biting the bullet and seeking the help of a physiotherapist - I wish I'd gone sooner! Within the first session Darren had identified the issue (bicep tendinopathy) and come up with a plan on how to sort it. Throughout the whole process Darren was very knowledgeable and informative, and was very reassuring when I had down days. Would highly recommend Pro Health Physio.
F. F.
Darren has helped me out in the past with my hamstring injury. He provided me with a detailed 4-6 week recovery plan and made videos of the exercises I needed to be doing alongside the plan.
Darren kept in touch via a phone call after the first and third week just to make sure I was keeping up with the exercises, following the plan and ensuring I got back on the road to recovery as quickly as possible.
Darren’s attention to detail and knowledge is fantastic and would highly recommend using his physio services.
Best of luck in your new venture Darren.
A. N.
Darren is excellent at his job and easily the best physio I’ve seen. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he takes the time to really explain things and puts you totally at ease. I would recommend him to anyone!
R. I.
Darren and Pro Health Physiotherapy came as a recommendation to me for a series of injuries that required assistance. From initial consultation, through assessment and identification to treatment and follow up, the service has been excellent. Focussing on the route cause of each issue has allowed improvements to be made quickly and with sustained progress.
Follow ups have been consistent and Allie for future treatments should there be any issues. I highly recommend the team and will return should there be further issues.
A. M.
I attended Pro Health Physiotherapist recently I have to say it was an excellent experience seeing Darren.
He made me feel very relaxed and listened carefully to everything I said.
He fully explained everything he did and shared his knowledge with me during the examination and then afterwards.
As I had been concerned about a recent injury and was very keen to get back to training.
Darrens approach was very positive and holistic.
I would definitely recommend a visit if required.
P. W.
Pro Health physio has been a fundamental component in not only my recovery from a severe broken leg / dislocation but also overcoming years of mobility issues and shoulder pain..
Alex’s expertise, movement work and rehab has improved my overhead position, increased my movement range and eliminated years of discomfort and pain.. I value his sessions greatly.
SJs skill and wisdom has taken me from being told I may never run again at the start of year to competing at Hyrox (a running focused fitness event) and just hitting 100k this year after only a short time running. He has helped build strength and confidence in myself and my foot.
Also as a fitness progressional, this is my ‘go to’ team for myself and my clients. They have proven their skill and professionalism time and time again.
Right, that’s all the smoke I’m blowing..
Big love. Warrior
N. M.
Top quality team that will always go the extra mile for their patients.
Darren has extensive knowledge, experience and ability in providing successful assessment and rehabilitation treatment. He is a very friendly and open professional, with fantastic clinical insight, that cares about his patients and their health. I would strongly recommend to anyone who may be looking guidance and support around their aches and pains.
S. h.
Just outstanding. Been seeing a therapist for a while, and whilst I was getting results. I knew I needed a more in depth look at, so found these guys, cannot thank them enough, simply brilliant and the after care phone call and training plans where unexpected, but a great touch. Thanks
M. D.
Went to Darren for help with my hamstring. Been seeing physios for years but never quite sorted out the issue. Darren not only helped me recover but my hamstring feels stronger than it has ever been.
1st class treatment and very professional. Would thoroughly recommend.
D. N.
This is the second time I’ve used pro health physio and I can’t fault them, professionnel and knowledgeable, I would defiantly use them again.

In June 2017 i was playing rugby at a semi professional level when i sustained a full rupture of my ACL. This was the first major injury i had sustained in my full rugby career. I underwent surgury in March 2018 and rehabilitation followed within the NHS. I found the NHS rehab useful but it was not sport specific.
I was pointed in the direct of Darren from a close friend who had also just returned from an ACL reconstruction. From the outset it was apparent that Darren had a oustanding knowledge of sport specific rehab. Darren created a taylored rehabilitation program for me which was specific to my playing position as a back row forward.
The rehabilitation was challenging and constantly changing which gave me the ability to stay focused and not get side tracked. Along with the physical aspects of the rehab, darren ensured that mentally i grew confidence with my knee again and this was a massive relief as i was not sure if i could return to sport.
I have returned to rugby and full fitness thanks to darren, highly recommended and an outstanding service throughout my journey.
Thanks
Andy

Top class treatment! Darren helped be back to full fitness following a quad injury the return to play recovery plan was excellent and he had me back on the pitch in no time. Highly reccomend Pro Health Physio
C. G.
I came to Darren with an extremely painful hip/lower back running injury in covid lockdown times after tickbox GP and chiropractic advice. I always felt safe and his set up was fab. He was highly professional, knowledgeable and not only supported me back to health with clinic and gym sessions, and a clear yet detailed rehab program for home, but made me stronger and a better runner than before. He explained everything in layman terms with visuals so I genuinely understood terms and processes in my body/injury I previously hadn't. A super friendly, highly skilled gentleman, top in his feild, I'd highly recommend.
C. W.
Darren has been top class over the years and has helped get me back on the football field after a number of injuries, most recently a partial ACL and meniscus tear. Extremely knowledgable and attention to detail is second to none. Would highly recommend.
K. F.
Received treatment for knee pain which flared up every run, great service provided by Darren at Pro Health. Well structured plan which over come the issue and helped
me finish GNR few years ago.
Further treatment during my third trimester of pregnancy due to back pain and struggled to do daily tasks. Despite all the consultations and follow up being provided through a telehealth platform due to the current climate the service was remarkable.
Very professional, extremely knowledgeable physiotherapy. Happy to recommend for any treatment.
L. B.
Darren was a great help with a problem I had with my shoulder; he analysed very quickly the issue and over a couple of weeks working with him it was resolved.
E. H.
I had a really good experience, Darren is extremely knowledgeable and a really nice guy. I would highly recommend.
j. s.
I came to Pro Health fearing that I wouldn't be able to run for months because of the pain in my achilles. After a couple of sessions I was given the tools to strengthen my legs and get back running within weeks. Highly recommend!
D. C.
Great Job Darren and team. Am back at 100% thanks to your guidance.
E. B.
Couldn't recommend Darren enough. I went to Darren with a reoccurring hip injury that had driven me to the point of wanting to give up competive sport but thankfully through a lot of hard work and effort I haven't looked back.
A. R.
Was treated by Darren at Pro Health Physio for back pain previously, great care, compassion and understanding and set up for day to day management to continue - would highly recommend and would visit again in the future - keep up the good work!
J. m. a.
Darren is a top class physio. Helped me recover from a neck injury with a simple telephone consultation in recent times 👍🏻
P. G.
Darren helped me with a long-standing hip injury giving me stretches to do at home to improve mobility. Very thorough and friendly
b.
Professional, knowledgeable and very supportive.
M. D.
Super nice and helpful!
J. S. F.
Couldn't recommend Darren enough, absolute wealth of knowledge. He helped me go from having never ran, with a list of injuries and niggles to doing the great north run in the space of about 6 months. A wizard of a physio and a all round top bloke
P. L.
Amazing physiotheraphy place, excellent atmosphere, everyone is friendly , equipment they have is top notch and Alex is excellent physiotherapist 10/10
M. G.
Darren and the team at Pro Health Physio are amazing. Every session is tailored to your and your needs. There’s no one fits all solution and they really listen to what you have to say. I’ve been to many Physio’s over the years and within two sessions Darren worked out where my pain was coming from and why. It was figuratively and literally a weight off my shoulders. Would fully recommend this team!
