Instant Physio has been great I could not reccomend them enough. Andrew has been fantastic, he is extremely knowledgable, approachable and professional. Nothing is too much trouble. He accurately diagnosed my back problem and has guided me through a targeted programme where I am now pain free. Thank you Instant Physio!

James is an exceptional physio who was patient, compassionate and helped me overcome an injury I thought I would never be able to return to running from.

Have loved my sessions with Josh, he took the time to listen to my symptoms and was great at adapting my plan based on my life schedule & needs. I’m back running and pain free, with a better understanding of what can keep me on track long term

I’ve had a great experience at Instant Physio. I attended multiple sessions to rehab an ankle injury with the goal of returning to sport and I plan to continue my treatment.
Cam was very knowledgeable, personable and explained everything clearly.
I’ve tried to rehab injuries on my own in the past, but I can’t overstate the improvement I saw after seeking professional guidance.
The booking process was also excellent. Jodie reply’s very quickly and makes the process easy.
I would 100% recommend Instant physio to a friend.

I’ve used Instant Physio on a couple of occasions and I have to say, I really enjoy collaborating with James. It really does feel like a collaboration rather than a treatment- he understands my fitness and exercise goals and is able to give me just the right mix of encouragement and cautionary advice. After 6 weeks of focussed rehab, I’m well on the mend and feel positive about my next fitness challenge. I’ll be asking James’ advice on how to ‘build back better’ so that I don’t just achieve my next goal but critically, reduce my chances of recurrent injury.

Thank you James for helping me back to exercise after a bad ankle sprain. With his support and detailed rehab plan I was able to complete the 3 peaks challenge just 8 weeks after a grade 2 sprain. Since then I have been able to return to running and my usual exercise classes all due to his knowledge and expertise.
The team at instant physio are friendly and accommodating. They are flexible and it is easy to change appointments.

Emily at Instant Physio was amazing. I recently finished up some sessions with her to help with hip pain that had been bothering me for years and getting increasingly painful. We started the sessions with a great breakdown of all the muscle groups to strengthen. I was given exercises that were fun and challenging, making it more exciting to complete. She was very empathetic, making sure to understand all the issues I had and giving great adjustments when I needed them. They also allowed for zoom sessions when I was unable to make it there in person. All staff I interacted with were super friendly and made it a great experience. It was my first time ever going to physiotherapy and despite being nervous at first, I came to look forward to our sessions. I am now mostly pain free with flare ups extremely minimal compared to almost every month (before physio). I would highly recommend Emily as she has great knowledge, super friendly and encouraging.

Great experience at Instant Physio. I had a hip and back injury which wasn't improving with at home physio and had completely stopped me exercising. James was really good at building a plan to slowly get me back running and in the gym. The plans created are detailed and well structured, meaning I found it easy to go through my plan in the gym. I am now back to running & exercising without pain!

Emily has offered expert help and encouragement over the past couple of months. I have a couple of long term issues which have made me prone to injury when I play Padel. We are working towards my goal of resuming Padel and I’m definitely getting there.

Fantastic team at Instant Physio, Cam and Josh were incredibly knowledgeable and built an easy to follow and accessible plan for me to help with a shoulder issue. They were also very willing to take any questions or help with any issues that would come up between sessions via email. Great communication from the reception team about future appointments and bookings. The Prehab app is also a great tool making it even easier to do the exercises given. Can’t recommend them enough.

I can’t recommend Instant Physio highly enough, particularly as an injured runner with a fairly intensive racing programme coming up. Andrew has been brilliant over the past three months, helping me to keep moving through my injury, and really helping me to understand the causes of my injury and how to work around it. Without Andrew’s expert advice, I’d likely have kept pushing through my injury and ending up in a much worse place – I even managed to run an ultra marathon just a few weeks after starting to work with Andrew. I’ve really appreciated all his advice, holistic approach and personalised plans.
I’ve also really appreciated Instant Physio’s understanding of my budget, coming up with a plan that I was comfortable with. I’ve never felt pressured into more sessions or into signing up for something I couldn’t afford.
Currently recommending them far and wide to any other injured sportspeople I know!

James at Instant Physio has been fantastic. I was training for my first marathon and just kept getting injured. Strained my calf 4 times! I was hesitant to get physio because I was worried about the cost. They are honestly worth their weight in GOLD! Gave me a personalised training plan, cross training options to keep me in shape through the injury, always on hand over email between sessions for questions and adjustments. They're also very transparent and understanding of different budgets which meant I could just focus on getting better.
I genuinely couldn't have done the marathon without James. About 4 weeks out, I ran into some IT Band Syndrome, thought it was game over, we adjusted the plan. Ran pretty much pain free on race day! (I mean it was my first marathon, I was gonna feel SOME pain eventually! :D) But I crossed the line with a smile and got that medal.
Would 100% recommend these guys and they'll be my first point of call should I need treatment again!

Fantastic team - I worked with James following an ankle injury. He was incredibly knowledgable, put together an effective and accessible plan based around my goals and got me back to sport stronger than before. I really appreciated the regular check ins from the him and team, it really makes the difference. Shout out to Jodie as well, always so helpful and accommodating to get me booked in. I can’t recommend them enough!!

My experience with instant physio for a running related injury following a marathon block has been incredibly positive and I would highly recommend. I was seen by Angus who was friendly and very knowledgeable. He gave me a treatment plan that worked with my routine and running plan. I was able to maintain consistent running and saw a reduction in my symptoms with the exercises he gave me. Thank you Angus!

I had a great experience with Angus and the team while recovering from a knee injury. My treatment plan was tailored around my personal goals and timelines, which really helped rebuild my confidence running again after injuring my knee on the road.
Each session adapted to my progress, everything was explained clearly, and Angus was always kind, accommodating, and professional throughout. Jodie on reception was also lovely to speak to and always friendly and welcoming in the waiting room.
Overall, it’s been a really positive experience - I’m no longer experiencing pain in my knee and I’ve come away with a plan I can continue maintaining during my gym sessions. I’d highly recommend them to anyone recovering from an injury or looking to build confidence getting back into exercise.

I've been working with Andrew at Instant Physio for the past six months, rehabbing both ankles simultaneously recovering from an injury on my right while also recovering from surgery on my left.
The quality of the programme has been impressive throughout, but what stood out most was the focus on return to sport in the later stages something that was on reflection not optimised on my previous physio programmes I've followed.
Andrew listens, adapts to your needs, and genuinely supports you through the recovery process. He also works well with consultants and surgeons when intervention is needed a collaboration that, in my experience, not all physios are open to often taking the view that only physio work should be done.
That joined-up approach has made a real difference and I have more confidence in my ankles now than before my last injury
Would highly recommend for anyone with a complex or sport-focused rehab need.

Really friendly staff and excellent communication for appointments. It’s always easy to reschedule if needed. The rehab plans are clear and effective, and they’ve been a huge help with my injury recovery.
Angus provided me with a detailed, well-structured exercise programme tailored to my needs. Overall a very positive experience — I’d definitely recommend Instant Physio.
