Reviews of Wilsmore Physiotherapy
F. B.Mike is fantastic. Its great to be treated by someone who really takes the time to listen and treat appropriately. As Mike is a runner, he totally gets it if you have running related issues. Top physio, used 3 times and always recommend him to others.
F. R.Mike has been absolutely fantastic. I was recommended Mike from a friend who's sent time working with Mike at a specialist running camp.
At the time I was struggling with an achilles injury and was starting to give up hope that it could be fixed. Mike was absolutely excellent and very professional.
I booked one of the virtual physio sessions. For anyone who might have any concerns that you might miss something from not being in person I would say that for me I felt like I was given everything I needed.
Mike got me to perform some exercises and was able to quickly diagnose my issue and put together a recovery plan.
I found in particular Mike's background as a top quality run himself was really valuable to me coming in with a running injury. For runners in particular I'd highly recommend Mike but I'm confident he'd be fantastic for any injuries.
Mike was ready Great at giving me the reassurance and practical advice I needed. He made sure to give me a structured but manageable program and also provided additional support via WhatsApp.
The support you receive I really think marks Wilsmore Physiotherapy out. I once messaged Mike at about 10 in the evening and I still got a reply that evening. This is so valuable when you need that bit of reassurance or advice with an exercise.
Since having seen Mike I have made a full recovery, getting back much quicker than expected. Even months later I'm able to message Mike and he's still there to provide that reassurance I need when I want to ask his advice on a niggle.
I couldn't recommend Mike and the whole team enough.
T. D.Mike has yet again provided expert advice. Having been struggling with a niggle after a hilly 7 mile race using my new carbon plate racers Mike provided great D&G on how to clear the niggle and get back to full training. Still early doors but moving in the right direction. Friendly and welcoming with plenty of after advice you can count on Wilsmore Physiotherapy to get you back to feeling good and injury free. Thanks Mike
A. C.Mike is both my physio and coach. He has managed somehow to coach me for the last 9 months to a successful half Ironman 70.3 from a sprint triathlon ! He continues to coach me with my running and keeps me relatively injury free. No other words except amazing, very knowledgeable and a true professional. Would recommend to anyone who asks !
A. K.A relaxed but thorough & extremely competent assessment of problem/s. Practical & easy to follow instructions on rehab exercises, carried out in the appointment & on a great app if you want to use it.
Easy to contact via Wapp if any further questions, (& there were, my brain not Mike's explanations!) or problems arise.
No hard sell to return unless I felt that my rehab program isn't working or I feel that I need to revisit. Which means I will return if I need to & sincerely recommend.
G. M.The diagnosis of my problem and treatment advice from Mike has restored my mobility. I am 66 years and suffered from bursitis of both the left knee and hip joints and ITB syndrome. This had reduced my mobility from being able to jog 5 miles a day to shuffling around in continuous pain. Mike told me it would be hard work over many months to get me moving again. I am delighted to say that after 3 months I can walk comfortably, and am managing 20 minutes on the cross- trainer. If things go well I should be jogging by Christmas. His skill and advice has allowed me to enjoy life and exercise again. I cannot thank him enough, great job Mike
K. L.I highly recommend this physio clinic. I went to Kate initially for lower back pain due to a gym injury and she immediately spotted the problem. Kate was very friendly and listened to me carefully. The advice and exercises she gave me really helped. I went back for another session with Mike and he was just as brilliant. Friendly and listened to my problems. Again, his advice and exercises have really helped.
D. S.It is now one month since. I saw Mike with what I thought was a problem with both knees. Mike thought that it was a problem with my quadriceps affecting knee tendons causing knee pain (I tore my quads some time ago playing football)
I have done most of the exercises recommended. There are two that I cannot do. There is an exercise that I do daily. Otherwise its three times week for 20 minutes.
There has been a definite impvement.
At 75 years old I thought my running days were over but I have been able to run three times a week for an hour so hope to continue for a little while longer
From Dave Salvage
K. S.After taking my wife abroad for a total shoulder replacement surgery, as wait on NHS was never ending we came back only to find out NHS Physio urgent appointment would take 3 months! We had to find an alternative option to get best result from my wife's surgery. We had a few options after looking for recommendations but my wife settled on Mike Wilsmore Physiotherapy, turned out to be a great decision. Right from the initial enquiries to first appointment & all subsequent treatments Mike has been ultra professional, helpful & honest. He made my wife feel very comfortable, took time to explain the targets & goals he wanted to achieve & how he would bring about those results. I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone in need of Physiotherapy advice/treatment & will certainly use him again in the future. Thank you Mike you have been fantastic.
H. C.After suffering sudden neck pain and a trip to a&e, I found Mike through searching on the internet and I’m so glad I did! I had a prompt appointment, Mike was understanding and reassuring through what I needed to do and put together a plan to be able to sort the pain and recovery. Cannot recommend enough! Cheers
P. C.I have a few sessions with both Kate and Mike this year, receiving treatment for hip pain. They are very professional and have really helped me towards full fitness. I recommend them wholeheartedly.
S. B.The first physio who's actually been able to make me feel like I might not be in pain forever. I've already recommended Mike to friends and would do it again.
S. C.I can’t recommend Wilsmore Physiotherapy enough. Kate was polite and easy to talk to. She diagnosed my problem and recommended a course of suitable exercises. 4 weeks later and I’m pain free. Thank you.
H. L.Having seen a few physios before Mike it was a pleasure and relief to meet him and get the correct explanation of the problem todate the treatment received and exercise plan has made roads into sorting out my lower leg problem.
A.I dislocated my patella earlier in the year and had some muscle deterioration in the upper leg, I contacted Mike after some recommendations and he really helped me to recover and build up my leg muscles to get me back to work as well as emailing me a routine of exercises to help me.
I was back at work 3 weeks after my visit and made a speedy recovery.
I highly recommend Mike, very professional, covid safe and a nice guy.
I would 100% visit again if I was in need of physio.
D. M.Having had an Achilles problem for nearly a year I got in touch with Mike. After a thorough assessment I left with an detailed plan for managing and strengthening my Achilles. But what was so inspiring was that I also got a running plan to get to a long held running goal. As a 70+ year old who was concerned that my decent running was behind me, I am now back out running with real purpose and enjoyment. (It's also hard work :-)) We are also keeping in touch on progress, with Mike providing helpful hints and answers to questions I have.
The physio session genuinely changed my life.
R. L.I highly recommend Mike Wilsmore Physiotherapy. From the minute I went through the door Mike put me at ease and spent a long time discussing my issues and trying to identify the root cause of the problem. He is a very patient and knowledgeable person and talked me through all his thoughts and ideas before advising his recovery plans. He forwarded my plan via email with concise explanations of the exercises to follow and included animated pictures showing how the exercise is done. He is reliable and if he says he will do something for you you can rest assured that he will. A nice guy, very helpful someone who will do his utmost to get you back on your feet.
N. B.The service and knowledge provided by Mike is second to none and well worth the visit. A physio who tries his best to keep you doing the sport or exercise you love and get you back to it as soon as possible is increasingly rare so it’s great to have someone as honest, caring and genuinely knowledgeable as Mike on your side. Highly recommend, I’ve never had a problem Mike hasn’t been able to solve, he truly does go above and beyond! He’s not a bad runner himself you know!
M. P.Mike is a fantastic Physiotherapist. He gave me all the time and attention I needed to ensure we got to the bottom of my ongoing injury. He was super flexible with his communication methods. The progression I saw with the rehab plan Mike sent was excellent. over 3 months, We went from only being able to run for 15 mins with pain to back into 50 miles per week of training. I would highly recommend reading out to Mike for further information or guidance.
C. L.Having ruptured my achilles tendon I contacted Mikes physio service. Without his support, my rehabilitation wouldn’t have been as smooth as he gave me an on-site diagnosis with a variety of exercises before moving onto a fitness plan to get me back running and this was tailored specifically for me. His level of expertise and advice really put me at ease and I would definitely recommend his service!
N. S.Mike has been an absolutely amazing physio. He has helped me not only recover from a string of different injuries and niggles, but get back to training stronger and more consistently than I ever did before my injuries. After not being able to sustain running training for over 4 years, Mike’s carefully planned rehab programme got me back to running within 2 weeks, and back into a structured programme within a few months. Most importantly, I’m able to run pain free again. His gait analysis work has helped me adapt my running style to decrease my injury risk and increase my efficiency, and I’m already seeing and feeling the positive effects of this.
The knowledge, support and guidance has been brilliant, and I’m very grateful for all he has achieved with me so far.
R. H.Mike has really helped me not only get over my injury but also prevented it from coming back! Even with virtual consulting he located the issue and through useful follow up guided me to recovery and I am running better than ever! Made a real difference Mike being a runner himself as he understands the mindset and challenges a runner faces being injured. Have been recommending Mike to all of my running friends, and he will be my first port of call for future injuries
t. s.I wish I had contact Mike earlier. After putting off seeing a physio I finally contacted Mike, and I wish I had done it sooner.
After a friendly and comprehensive initial consultation Mike had a good idea of what my issue was and managed to explain it in laments terms for me to easily understand. Then with some exercises to do and somethings I should try to avoid, I started my recovery process. There were weekly check ups to start of, with some adjustments to my exercises and we slowly started to reintroduce those “things to avoid”. I am now back to full health and still do some of those recovery exercises, I have had no recurring problems and couldn’t recommend Mike highly enough.
M. W.From my own experience I have found Mike to be a really knowledgeable, professional and experienced physiotherapist who has given me some great insights into the reasons that I have been experiencing the biomechanical problems that I have, particularly with my running. He has given me clear and understandable program of exercises to work with and is always willing to help and give further advice via email, Zoom, WhatsApp etc, although I haven't taken him up on that yet. I'm really glad that Mike was recommended to me and I have already recommended him to colleagues. Very highly recommended.
D. P.I have been a client of Mikes since I developed an injury during the first COVID lockdown, my initial consultations were over video link where not only did Mike heal me, he gave me confidence and had me running to a plan that made me run the best I ever had. More recently I have been struggling with a quad injury since taking on a new job role, I have had regular appointments with Mike and am now on the road to recovery. I 100% recommend Mike and wouldn’t go anywhere else for treatment, he’s a great guy, really friendly and extremely knowledgeable.
B. L.Mike is a fantastic physio, I would highly recommend him to anyone that wanted to progress and see positive changes after an injury. He has listened to everything I’ve had to say and adapts my programme if needed at every visit. I have come on leaps and bounds since seeing him!
S. W.Great relaxed atmosphere and professional precise diagnosis with modern treatment plans. Strongly recommend the service provided by Mike.
P. T.Mike is professional and knowledgeable. As a professional distance runner, it is important to get ahead of injuries and stay on top of maintenance work. Not only has Mike provided me with soft tissue work, but he has also used acupuncture during our sessions. Mike does an excellent job at listening and additionally providing pre-hab exercises to help with any issues I might be dealing with. 100% recommend!
K. L.Mike is an excellent physio who has helped to speed up my recovery from a torn calf muscle. I am not a sportsman - just someone who took up jogging during lockdown, and likes walking. The injury was preventing me from enjoying these things. Now due to Mike's help (first-rate massage combined with a personalised exercise regime) I am back into regular pain-free runs and long walks on Dartmoor. Mike is patient, totally non-judgmental and explains everything brilliantly. Highly recommended.
B. K.I would highly recommend Mike - after I sustained a soleus tear, Mike replied to my enquiry instantly and fit me in for an appointment. He understood my frustration with the pause in my training and was realistic but pragmatic, realising the drive to get back onto the trails/tarmac.
I got back to running in 10 days, which was so much faster than I'd assumed, and largely thanks to Mike's help.
L. T.Mike is friendly and knowledgeable. I went to see him for knee and glute pain during running. He pin pointed my problem straight away and gave me various exercises to do. The exercises were also sent to me on an app making it very easy to follow. I am now running pain free thanks to Mike and would thoroughly recommend.
L. A.Contacted Mike about an ankle/heel issue and was able to see me for an appointment within 2 weeks. He made a thorough assessment with different exercises to see what the problem was. He gave me an exercise regime to complete which was also accessible online to continue with and update progress. Great ongoing care from first appointment.
A. D.Mike Wilsmore Physiotherapy jas been providing a weekly assessment on my legs for several weeks in my build up to the London marathon 2021. As an active athlete himself is is fully tuned in to the needs of a runner and has given a thoroughly professional, open and friendly service. Utterly reliable his attention to detail is second to none. His expert knowledge allowed me to continue my hard training package and get to the start line in peak condition. I whole heartedly recommend Mike and will be continueing to make use of his expertise in my build up to future endurance races. 5 stars (I would give +5 but the review does not allow. Thanks for all your hard work Mike its very much appreciated.
R. G.Mike Wilsmore treated me firstly.in 2020 I had a knee injury the previous year and was on crutches followed by covid which left me weak lame and unable to run which was my passion.
I had been told by the GP to give it up as I needed a knee replacement. I was reccomended to see Mike Wilsmore who has been fantastic. We did a zoom consultation where he meticulously went through the problems then came up with a plan that he put on line for me to follow.I did this three times a week. 3 months later I completed my first 5k. We call it Crutches to 5k . I continued with his exercises and am now able to comfortably run 10 miles. A slight blip in the middle with a piriformus problem this time I had a face to face consultation at his treatment rooms again he was meticulous with his consultation and reccomended some different exercises and. It has repaired. I run at least three times a week I have returned to Pilates and Yoga. This is all down to Mike's careful rehabilitation programme and follow up. If you have a problem I fully recommend him.I personally would not be running again or even walking with out his care and diligence but on a NHS list for a new knee and never to run again.
D. W.Mike is a real superstar. I first met Mike back in May 20, and think I've been one of the most difficult patients that he has had the misfortune of treating over the past 18 or so months post Talus fracture. He instantly put me at ease due to his calm demeanour and knew exactly what was required to help me get back running/cycling again. There were numerous issues that cropped up during the recovery process (due to being injured for so long), but each and every time he had a plan of action to try and rectify the problem. There was an occasion where I needed to be seen by another specialist due to the complexity of the injury, but again Mike knew of a person and recommend me visit him. He is able to be contacted at any time of the day and replies almost instantly, regardless of whether he is in the office or not. Whilst I am not yet at the level that I desperately crave to be at, I am eternally grateful to Mike Wilsmore for his time, dedication and professionalism. I now consider him a dear friend and will most certainly be using him again when I next have an injury. Thank you, Mike, so much!
K. F.I'd been ignoring a problem in my right shoulder for a little too long and finally booked in to see Mike. He was friendly and professional, explaining what the injury was and how to help it. I was given 'homework' to do and was reassured that it could be sorted relatively easily. It was! Cannot recommend Mike highly enough.
C. A.I live overseas and have done all my work with Mike remotely - he has taken me from struggling to run over 5k due to niggling injuries to completing a half Ironman triathlon this year. As well as providing exercises to strengthen specific areas, he also studied my running gait and made suggestions to not only reduce injury but also run more efficiently! Highly recommended!!
C. S.Mike managed to take a 5+ year hip injury that I’ve wasted 100s on with other physios/chiros etc and improved it significantly over the course of one session. The person I had seen previously spent less than 2min watching me move and barely listened to what I was saying before prescribing the same stretches I’d been given by numerous other physios. Mike spent the majority of our first session understanding and analysing the problem before making a decision on how to deal with it.
m. t.Mike is excellent a year ago I could hardly run 300m without pain, recently I have completed a half Ironman. Thank you for the support knowledge and coaching.
P. L.Mike helped enormously with my injury. It is clear that he has extensive knowledge, coupled with his own experience as an elite level athlete, to get to the bottom of persistent injuries (particularly running related). Highly recommend Mike
W. E.Mike is an amazing physio. He is incredibly knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I would not hesitate in recommending Mike to anyone needing a physio and particularly for sport related injuries.
N. U.Had an online consultation with Mike during lockdown. He was very thorough and got me to do various activities to pin down my issues. He then set me a set of exercises which have been really helpful. They seem to have helped a lot. I'd definitely recommend him.
T. S.Mike is a breath of fresh air in the Physio space, well educated and very experienced. His manner is such that you instantly feel at ease, no preaching no technical jargon just understandable facts with clear actions to deliver results. Highly recommended.
A. T.Mike was fantastic in keeping me injury free and ensuring that I got to the start line in one piece, thanks to exercises and treatment. Thoroughly recommend sports massage and acupuncture. Any niggles dealt with swiftly! Thanks
V. B.I had a running injury last year in November. I felt a sharp twinge at the ankle part of my leg. Rested it for a few weeks hoping it would heal itself! It didn’t! So i contacted Mike via zoom as i live in Southend and he’s in Devon. After a chat telling him my story,He told me straight away i had a grade 2 calf injury! Gave me exercises to follow and told me how long the recovery process would be and he was spot on👌✅
V. W.Mike is thorough with the rehab process and even over a video consultation I felt that he was able to offer valuable and insightful comments into my injury. He understands that a sports person wants to get back to training quickly so balances that with an effective rehab programme.
T. M.Massively helped my recovery after a bike accident. Friendly and effective. Knows his stuff.
d. c.Highly recommend Mike Wilsmore, had an initial video assessment for my hip.Prescribed a strength and exercise plan which I have followed. Incredible results over a two week period enabling me pain free and back running again after suffering for quite a while on and off. Cannot thank Mike enough, my journey has only just began to gleen all his knowledge and improve my running / performance.
It’s been a month now since the first assessment, I have followed the plan and put the effort in to complete ... I am now running 12 miles pain free.
What more could anyone want a superb Physio who understands first hand running injuries as he is an international runner!!
L. A.Mike is very knowledgeable and really helped me recover from an injury. The app he uses so that you can keep track of the exercises is also brilliant and kept me accountable which is what I needed.
E. C.I've been to Mike for a shoulder/neck issue and a hip issue and he identified the problem really quickly , and then gave me a list of exercises to do as a follow up to the treatment he gave on the day. I felt much better after each session , thanks Mike!
N. P.Mike knows his stuff . Was clinical and hiked in on nuance of my shoulder issue in one sitting , giving me exercises then to work on the build strength back up.
Highly recommend .
J. P.I booked to a virtual consultation with Mike to get help with a knee problem I had been struggling to get on top of for four months.
The consultation booking process and pretreatment administration was simple and easy to complete in advance of my appointment.
The appointment was via online video consultation arranged with the application Mike used and it was easy to engage with and explain my issues, allowing Mike to make his assessment of my problem, through observing my movement and symptoms I described; having previously provided the background and history of my condition.
Mike prescribed a series of exercises and activity advice, and the application Mike
used, provided a personal video of each exercise and detail of what was required, with the ability to log and record your progress, providing him with feedback.
I wanted to wait a week before providing a review to allow the minimum amount of time necessary for the prescribed exercises to start to work. In one week and in fact after three days of targeted Ioading I noticed a big improvement in my pain levels and ability to perform the exercises prescribed, providing this feedback to Mike as I felt what we are doing was working already, when we expected my condition to take a number weeks to resolve - but acknowledge we still have a number weeks to go to hopefully fully resolve my problems.
If you are unsure about online consultations during the COVID-19 restrictions, I can honestly say don't be as working with Mike has made an immediate impact with simple support, advice and guidance. I didn't see these results from seeing two a different physios with a physical assessments prior lockdown, I should have seen him sooner and I am glad Mike has made online consultations available during these difficult times.
I would highly recommend Mike to those in need of expert advice and guidance, and I wouldn't wait until face-to-face consultations are possible again, when you can get the treatment needed now to enable you to resume training again with the confidence of knowing you are effectively treating your condition.
D. M.Excellent service and location. Mike was able to help me with my on going shoulder problems.
S. J.By far the best physio I have used, had problems with my piroformus and calf, I was off running for a few months. He had me back running by the end of the week. He's an elite runner and extremely knowledgeable
M. T.Mike was excellent, he provided a good insight into what the problem was and he made absolutely everything clear to me about how to help my problem get better. I would recommend Mike to anyone who asked about physiotherapy.
G. M.Very knowledgeable and a very nice man, Exceptional attention to detail , Extremely thorough, Would definitely recommend.
K. C.Mike is the most knowledgable and professional physiotherapist I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He was able to provide me with an accurate diagnosis and then an expert rehab programme which had me back on my feet in no time. Would highly recommend.
C. J.Mike was expert on running related injuries, extremely professional and very easy to speak with - thank you, I’m fixed with ongoing exercises to keep me fixed
A. R.A pleasure to deal with. No hard sell or the prospect of endless repeat procedures, just a really good session with simple instructions to stop further injury and have a swift recovery.
I still believe a scented candle and some mood music would have been a nice touch!
J. A.Great service from Mike everytime I've seen him. Has always kept me running and got me back to my normal training load really quick with rehab exercises.
K. A.I received an excellent treatment from Mike; as an international athlete he focuses on a long term solution rather than just a quick fix….definitely recommended.
J. S.Really efficient and comprehensive assistance - even mid lockdown. Mobility in arm and shoulder now restored after exercise course and Zoom consultations with Michael.
A. W.Very happy with the service I received from video consultations. Mike managed to help me return from a stress fracture, safely & healthy.
A. P. J.Mike is very knowledgeable and really helped me out with my running injury. I was back running very quickly with his help, I would highly recommend.
E. E.Mike was really helpful when I saw him, despite it being via zoom he was able to diagnose my issue and provide me with some exercises that helped fix it ☺️
A. B.Mike was very professional and only care to get you running ASAP. Not driven by money or unnecessary extra visits. Well woth his money
A. M.Great advice and reassurance even on a virtual platform. I would really recommend Mike if you are struggling with an injury. Thanks Mike for your ongoing help to get me back running.
D.Excellent, knowledgeable physiotherapist whose treatment made a huge difference to my recovery. Highly recommended.
D. T.This guy knows his stuff have had a bad back for a good couple years did as I was instructed to over the past few months it’s now better I’m out doing the things I love again ⛳️
