"After suffering a knee injury whilst training and then pulling out of my first marathon, I was referred to Stuart at Straight Back Physiotherapy. Any amount of running became far too painful and so needed to strengthen and more importantly, correct the issue.


It’s both disheartening and frustrating when you can’t enjoy your sport. After some running analysis, I have built up enough resilience to start running again and I am increasing my distance, week by week. Really pleased with my progress and have been injury free so far!"

I visited Straightback Physio after experiencing some problems that were preventing me from training fully. After a short discussion about my symptoms, some questioning, and a detailed examination, based on finding the root cause of my problem and not just the symptoms, treatment started. I was also given exercises and advice to build on the treatment designed to get me back training fully as quickly as possible. Over the next few appointments, the treatment and exercises were increased, as I improved, and I was supported with advice to continue my recovery. All the time I have been treated professionally and in a friendly way. I’m now back training and racing and would definitely recommend Straight Back Physio!

I'm a kitesurfer and I had a niggling foot injury that was keeping me off the water, in fact I could barely walk! I just couldn't shake it off and it had been going on for a few months. After following some advice from the team at Straight Back Physio I was back on the water within 10 days :). I am very pleased with the results and would recommend Straight Back Physio to anyone with an injury that is hampering their movement.

I had pain in my hip that was interrupting my sleep and bothering me with simple exercise like walking. After a few sessions with Stuart, doing some regular targeted exercises and some shockwave treatments, my hip has improved so much, I'm sleeping without it disturbing me and I'm enjoying exercising without pain. I can highly recommend the practice for expertise, knowledge and positive attitudes.

Thanks to Straight Back Physio my back pain has eased considerably. They diagnosed my condition, explained it so I could understand what was going on and with massage, acupuncture and exercises helped me recover within a few months. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone with a back problem.

Having been with Stuart for six weeks for bilateral knee sprains and arm pains, I have been able to go from wheelchair to almost walking naturally, he has been great help and very attentive to everything that is said, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anybody with problems getting back on their feet.

I booked into Straight Back Physiotherapy after a long-term injury showed no signs of recovery. The team were great, getting to the root of the issue and putting me on a course of exercises which fixed the issue enabling me to get back on the bike.

Straight Back Physio treated the root cause of my knee issue, not just the symptoms. I was also given exercises and advice to build on the treatment at home. My knee now feels great and I’m back training and racing. I would definitely recommend Straight Back Physio!

I had an Achilles injury - I was impressed by the initial exercises I was given by Stu who had successfully gauged the level of weight / type of exercises I needed to improve the issue. Subsequent appointments gave me the progressive exercises I needed and eventually my recovery time was only 2/3 of the time expected. Highly personable and professional. Flexible appointments. Thank you!

Straight Back Physio were fantastic and recommended by my orthopaedic surgeon. They supported me in getting back to full fitness after spine and hip surgery. I am now happily running, horse riding and snowboarding. Great team.

Straight back Physio has helped me enormously over the years with various niggles I’ve picked up playing squash. They find and address the problem quickly, then set a fantastic programme where I come away feeling stronger than before I got injured. Great physios - would highly recommend.

After breaking an arm and then injuring my shoulder I went to see Straight Back Physio, based on a personal recommendation. The difference that they made was immense - the level of discomfort decreased quickly and there is no doubt that the speed of my recovery was improved significantly.
