Most recent experience from Weston House NHS surgery = you have broken your ribs (telephone). As a result booked an emergency appointment with Straightback and true to name: nope no broken Ribs and you can go on holiday ! Phew!!!
Cheers Stuart, enjoying the Isle of Wight! A bit less risky than a ‘not jump’ at the Forest of Dean Verderers Trail
I would absolutely recommend Straight Back Physio! Sarah was excellent at explaining what was causing my tight achilles and how working on different lower body areas would help me fix the issue on a tight timeline before a holiday. She was so easy to trust and made me feel very comfortable during our sessions, I enjoyed our chats as well as the improvements in my achilles! Even though I no longer live in Cheltenham I would return to Straight Back if I needed physiotherapy again.
Back in June I managed to complete the Windermere Marathon.
This would not have been possible without the fantastic support from Straight Back Physio. Thank you again Stu for all your support.
I was in agony with lower back pain on one side. Stuart was exceptional. He listened, asked many questions and came up with a diagnosis. His treatment was thorough and a set of stretches and exercises advised. I am now well on the way to getting back to normal. I cannot thank or recommend him enough. Ten out of ten. from me.
Straight Back Physio enabled me to break down some physical and mental barriers that has led me to returning to the sport I love. Stuart is very accomodating and supportive. The treatment is excellent and they always have time for a chat. Would 100% reccomend
Professional approachable and well informed. Friendly modern environment. Sorted.
I saw Stu for golfers elbow. Not only did the series of shock therapy alleviate the pain, but the specific exercises Stu prescribed helped resolve and keep the issue at bay.
The fact that this help came at good value for money and was delivered by a knowledgeable, experienced and highly personable expert only made the process even better.
Stu was very thorough and knowledgable when diagnosing my injures. He created a detailed rehab plan and provided updates where necessary.
He was very friendly and I would highly recommend!!
Great physio, really helped me recover. Professional, friendly, and effective treatment.
I would definitely recommend
