Feedback
I sought help from Robin following a somewhat pessimistic discussion with the specialist spinal orthopaedic consultant. Robin has helped me avoid undergoing surgery and has enabled me to resume a very active lifestyle again, including being able to restart all of my chosen sporting activities. The rehabilitation is ongoing and the progress so far has exceeded my expectations. I tried three different physiotherapists before Robin but did not find them to be very effective. Robin is a cut above the rest and is genuinely invested in helping his patients recover and achieve their goals. He is professional, kind and friendly and I highly recommend him.
After 10 years of treatment, relief from pain was never sustained, so I've always considered my neck and shoulder pain to be something I would have to live with. 2 visits to Robin changed that opinion as the physical results were so good for me. Of course it's not a quick fix, I must play my part and do the required exercises, but I know they are tailored to me and my capabilities and that in the long-term we will reverse over a decade of chronic pain.
After seeing Robin weekly now he has made a massive difference to my leg, my walking and for the best part also helps with the phantom pain. Robin’s knowledge and professional manner is a great credit to him, so a big thank you to Robin - you are very knowledgeable and totally professional.
Robin has helped me with my back problems and a trapped nerve in my leg. He is very professional, incredibly understanding and always makes you feel at ease. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough
‘Genius physio Robin’, my back hasn’t felt this good for 10 years if i’m being honest. I’d forgotten what it was like to be able to move with minimal pain. Thanks you SO much
I was desperately looking to find a good physio in Hereford, I needed someone with a good knowledge and hands on approach who had worked or works with amputees. On meeting Robin within the first 5 minutes I knew he knew what he was talking about as he made many references to the type of injuries I had and the type of therapy which made me feel at ease and in good hands.
We took our 10-year old to see Robin after a sports related injury. He was patient and thorough to find where the injury was and offered great advice on how to help overcome the issue. Would definitely recommend.
