Kate Mc Mahon2024-01-08After breaking my leg and knee in 2022 I started using Bristol Physio, Nikki has been absolutely brilliant in helping my recovery. So supportive and pushing me to do more. Can't recommend enough.Iain Doig2024-01-08High quality and professional experience. Back to baseline running after only a few sessions. Could not recommend enough.Results DELivery Positivity2023-12-22Consistently professional treatments and customer serviceFiona Le Tissier2023-10-26I travelled from Cornwall to see Tony Gill as I needed an injection into my ankle. Tony is totally amazing as previous reviews also confirm. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable, dedicated to the best possible patient outcome and caring. I have had many ankle injections in Cornwall that have achieved very little. The injection that Tony gave me, careful assessing the best location for the needle, has really treated the right location. The swelling has gone and the pain as well. I am so grateful to him.Joni Addis2023-10-16I've been seeing Holly for a couple of months now and I've gone from constant pain and not knowing the cause despite seeing several specialists, to now pain free with a great exercise routine! She's extremely knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. So thankful to have been recommended this practice and meeting holly.Jeanette James2023-10-15I came to see Tony Gill for treatment on my Knee. After over 4 years of pain and discomfort I can not believe the difference, after just a day or so after my Hyaluric injection , I am walking with a stride in my step I haven't done for years it has made me feel so incredibly happy I could have cried. I am overwhelmed with the relief it has given me. Thank you for all the helpful information and professional care.

Kate has an amazing rapport, is friendly, supportive, knowledgeable and informative and most importantly of all has been able to motivate a pre teen to do physio!! My daughter has cerebral palsy so has had physio throughout her childhood and will continue to do so. Finding a physio we both love will literally change my daughters outcomes for the rest of her life 🥰Victoria Morgan2023-10-02We have been using Bristol physio for over a decade and cannot recommend the team highly enough. My 10 year old daughter recently had a nasty elbow injury and so it was a huge relief to find that Bristol Physio now have a highly specialist paediatric physio - Kate. Under her guidance, after a few months of hard work, we are close to regaining a full range of movement in the elbow which is remarkable. Kate has been kind, friendly, flexible, hugely knowledgeable and supportive throughout. She has built a strong relationship with my daughter and kept the sessions varied and interesting. She has made appropriate referrals back to consultants when we got “stuck” and has provided us with invaluable support both in the sessions and via email in the background. I cannot praise her highly enough and feel lucky that we have had access to her to guide us through this tricky period. Also, a huge shout out for Tony and Charlotte who provide an unbelievable level of support to my husband who has long standing back issues. Their knowledge is immense and the support they provided before, during and after his multiple back operations over the past few years has been nothing short of remarkable. I cannot convey how brilliant they are or imagine how we would possibly manage to navigate his medical issues without them. They are so much more than physios and an absolutely key part of managing my husbands pain, keeping him active and away from further surgery.Vincent Ellis2023-08-22My physio is Tony Gill who is nothing short of a miracle worker. I have a chronic hip condition - not only has Tony been the only therapist over 40 years to give me serious pain relief (as well as increasing my mobility) he has helped me to get an operation which will transform my life. Tony is incredible. Dedicated. Knowledgeable and effective. He calls on an endless array of techniques to reduce pain and increase mobility. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is a fantastic therapist and a wonderful human being. He cares deeply about you as a client. Today is six months on from my hip replacement operation. I am pain free. I have increased mobility. I am back playing sport - even jogging and skipping. This is all thanks to Tony Gill. He helped secure my hip operation (which included a rod being inserted to lengthen the leg) -and even advised on the specialist to use (Steve Eastaugh-Waring who is incredible too). The operation and Tony’s post ip treatment has transformed my life. If you are in pain -search this guy out at Bristol Physio. He will make your life better.James Bunting2023-07-14I saw Holly Savage for some help with my knee and she was brilliant. Super friendly and knowledgable, she helped work through the problem and how I could address it whilst still balancing my training (and life). Would absolutely recommend her (as long as she doesn't get so busy I can't get another appointment)
