"Amazing physios! I started coming here when they were located in Leeds Met. Now moved out to a new building by the Village gym/hotel. Every physio I have seen has been nothing short of amazing.....very knowledgeable and always seem to fix the problem!"

"Rose came highly recommended to me from a sports therapist who was also a high level athlete. She clearly cares about getting her patients back to full health ASAP. She kindly reviewed a list of my injuries prior to booking anything with her so she could appropriately advise on who i should see. From my brief conversation with her i could tell she cared and had extensive knowledge about biomechanics and getting to the root cause of the problem."

"I was attended to by Louisa who was great . She was very thorough and methodical in getting to the root of my problem and gave me effective treatment. At the end of my treatment I was given a plan to follow. There was no pressure to book a follow up appointment either.
I would definitely recommend to anyone contemplating going. My only regret is that I did not go earlier."
James Ahmad
"Absolutely the best practice I’ve been to. Extremely experienced and expert physiotherapists. Particularly the folks who’ve worked with British Triathlon and elite athletes. Very happy with the expertise, treatment and longer mire valuable sessions. A very refreshing and reassuring approach to care"
