  I’ve have had some sessions of physio with Aardra over the last month following a back injury. I can’t praise her highly enough. She was thorough in her initial assessment, explained why my back problems occurred and has tailored stretching and strengthening exercises for me. I could feel the benefit after a few days. Further consultations introduced some extra exercises and the improvements have continued. She has reassured me and I now have a much better understanding of the structures which support my spine, and what I need to do to keep them all working properly. I have also had some physio from Brian in the past and received the same excellent service for a piriformis problem. He is friendly, reassuring and knowledgeable and programmed specific stretches for me. I would have no hesitation using Mind & Motion again.

  I had lower back pain after a car accident, and I was quite worried about it. The exercises and guidance provided by the physiotherapist really helped me, and I now feel much better and have almost completely recovered. The exercises were explained clearly and were easy to follow. I really appreciate the support and guidance I received. One thing I was expecting during the physiotherapy sessions was some kind of heat therapy or machine applied to my lower back, as I thought the heat might provide additional relief. However, the exercises and guidance alone made a significant difference for me. Overall, I am very happy with the treatment and would definitely recommend the physiotherapy service.

  I reached out to a friend of mine from padel Joshua, he said he’d be able to get me sorted right out! I literally had no mobility in my elbow which prevented me from playing padel I believed it was tennis/golf elbow when I went down they told me it was a loose body & they worked on my arm the treatment & exercises they done on my elbow after the first session I felt like a new man I instantly had way more mobility & strength in my arm I went to my follow on session the following week after that session that was it I was right back to it! It felt like the injury never existed I would highly recommend this physio clinic most definitely 1000/10 for me!

  I can’t recommend Mind and Motion highly enough. Alexandra Cooke was professional, knowledgeable and friendly, and she immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. I attended four appointments for treatment following a whiplash injury, and Alexandra made a real difference to my recovery. The exercises she gave me were easy to follow and helped considerably with the pain and movement in my neck. Thank you, Alexandra, for all your help and support.

  Many thanks to Brian Bannon who I saw for a short course of physio following my motor accident. I really appreciated his professionalism and attentiveness, and how he tailored his approach to my specific needs. I would highly recommend mind and motion to anyone.
