What our patients say

    The review below was prepared 7 years ago…..My views about Impact Physiotherapy haven't changed….I am still very pleased with both the Pilates classes and the physiotherapists…..almost 20 years after starting……. My husband and myself have attended Pilates classes at Impact Physiotherapy in Long Eaton for well over 10 years. We highly recommend the classes run by their physiotherapists (small groups and individual attention when it's necessary to adjust exercises because of physical injury etc). When we suffered from back and knee problems respectively, we had no hesitation in contacting Impact physiotherapists for private treatment. We were both very satisfied with the outcome: following a first meeting for medical assessment, the sessions helped us get better, offering professional treatment, plenty of advice and a programme of exercises to do at home. Although sessions are quite pricey, you don't have to wait for an appointment for very long and staff don't try to book you in for more sessions than necessary. We liked their very active approach of getting patients involved in their own recovery!

    I have been visiting Impact Physio for various injuries and pilates classes for many years. All physios (I've seen many!) have been tip top and have all sorted me out with a lot of understanding and encouragement after various levels of resistance from me. Extremely helpful and kind admin staff making booking process as easy as possible. Thanks Impact Team, I will return when needed.

    I attend pilates with Louise and yoga class with Mariangela to improve my flexibility and mobility. I have to say i enjoy the classes hugely and spent a lot of time laughing. I cannot thank those two ladies enough for what they've done for me.

    Patient review

    Louise has resolved a long standing hip issue and guided me through rehabilitation from abdominal surgery. Her combined expertise with physio and pilates is highly effective, delivered with consummate professionalism and care for the patient. She has also been a great help analysing movement patterns of my sport (golf) to help address any physical weaknesses/imbalances. Can't recommend Impact highly enough. Thanks Louise!

    Patient review

    The staff is very qualified and committed. The staff take care of our particular aspects of health. This summer I attended a yoga class with Suze who really gave me personal exercises to deal with my pain, and progressively adapted to my progress. It has helped me dramatically, and at the end of the sessions I could practice all the exercises easily and without any pain anymore. We learn how to relax. In addition to the exercises in the practice, we had a good guidance with hands out and on line to keep practising daily. It was very useful and helpful. I recommend this yoga practice and also Pilates which reinforce so much our posture and our flexibility. The staff is always updating his knowledge and very helpful. Small group and good atmosphere. Good programme making us working on each part of the body without any pain. Flexibility of days, kindness of all the staff. A very pleasant practice with trust and high quality of services.

    I self referred to Impact for help with an ongoing back problem. The help I received from Sinead has improved my mobility ten fold so much so that I can now enjoy weekly pilates sessions at Impact. Thank you

    Patient review

    Friendly and experienced staff always happy to tailor exercise and Pilates lessons to your needs and abilities. Since attending my mobility and core strength have improved, not to mention the classes are lots of fun.

  • John W.

    Patient review

    As I've aged I've found that I've got increasingly stiff and my joints and mobility have significantly reduced. To counteract these conditions I have been thinking about taking up Pilates and Yoga again, I used to attend classes but dropped out several years ago due to a change in my circumstances. I found Impact Physio through a recommendation from a friend and decided to join. I have now been attending both Pilates and Yoga classes since September this year and have seen a big difference in how I feel physically. The classes are not only good for me but I find them hugely enjoyable, I get a real ""buzz"" out of the exercises. In addition to the feel good factor generated by the exercises, a big plus about going to Impact Physio is that the staff are friendly and approachable. This makes the classes a very good experience, one I would recommend.

    I've been using impact for over a year now for physio treatment and Pilates classes. Both have been excellent and everyone I've seen has been helpful. I think they've really helped keep my physical problems from flaring up.
