Physiotherapy in Allestree – Sports Injury & Rehab Support Near Derby

Very very helpful and friendly staff. Easy parking. Only one very small criticism is that the treatment rooms that I went to were on the first floor which was difficult fir me at that time. Otherwise everything was very good and I would be very happy to use again if a need arises.

When I was referred to physiotherapy I was a little sceptical as my discomfort was so severe. My therapist was extremely thorough in diagnosing my issues and created a set of easy exercises to complement the fortnightly treatments. After a few weeks my pain eased and my range of movement increased dramatically, I’m so impressed with the results from my therapist. My issues are fixed and I am now pain free and no operation was needed!

I was referred by my GP with back pain. All sessions were carried out via zoom which worked exceptionally well and I was really grateful to Louise who was my physiotherapist. Her kindness and help were excellent and I would thoroughly recommend Impact Physiotherapy to anyone.
With many thanks.

I had been struggling with neck and shoulder pain for months, and nothing was easing this, attending physio with fiona was so helpful, she was able to give me treatment and advise at each session, and exercise to do in-between visits which helped release the tension in my neck and shoulder, each session was greeted with a smiling face and fiona listen carefully to what I had to say and was able to give me positive advise. I always came away feeling positive. I have now finished my sessions and have got a plan and excersie to ensure my problem is kept manageable. I would like to say thankyou to Fiona, and would recommend impact physio.

Came to Impact with a bad back which I couldn’t walk more than a few yards with but after an in-depth examination and sets of exercises I am now back walking miles and riding my road bike
Thank you Fiona

Before going to see Phil, I had been having treatment for over 18 months with a chiropractor for a long standing shoulder/neck/back issue. I had become a little disillusioned as I seemed to be paying a lot for adjustments every week or so but it was keeping things at bay and not improving. The chiropractor had really helped in July 2016 when I had a particularly bad flare up and the rotator cuff became inflamed. Anyhow, a relative had been telling me for some time about how wonderful their Physio was and that I should give him a try. Prior to going to the chiropractor I had been to see many many professionals seeking some long term help and had spent a lot of money so I was wary of changing horses again mid stream. However for various reasons I decided to go and see Phil in January of this year. He spent time listening to me and all my tail of woe and he did some assessments. I think he was the first person I had ever seen (and yes I mean that) who actually seemed to be confident he could not only help but get me to a stage where I did not need to keep coming to see him. We started gradually and I religiously did the exercises I was given. Interestingly I had been given no such exercises before. Over the next 2-3 months I went to see him and gradually I started to see improvement. He also suggested a book I should read as he explained that when a person has become so used to problems the way in which we think about them is massively important. Committed to my recovery I downloaded the book and read it. I have now had the longest issue free period I have had in over 3 years. I still spend 10 minutes a day doing the exercises and I no longer live in constant fear of moving the wrong way and sending things into spasm. Only this past week I had a minor flare up and started to panic but then reminded myself that it ‘wasn’t a snake’ (Phil will understand the reference) and I consciously worked through things and saw an improvement in a day or so! The thing I liked about Phil was two-fold. 1. He told me that the objective was to get me to a point where I could look after myself and didn’t need him (in the nicest possible way) 2. When I told him that a previous professional had said it was the worst back/neck issue they had ever seen, he looked puzzled and said he didn’t agree. After around 6 sessions he said my movements and range etc etc were exactly what you’d expect from someone in my category. I would not hesitate to recommend him. I certainly will be going back to see him if and when I should need his help.
