    Having received very informative and helpful advice and exercises from Richard for a neck injury some while ago, I was confident to book at his clinic again for a leg muscle injury. This time the appointment was with Leira, who listened very carefully to my account of the symptoms and prescribed a helpful exercise regime, which she carefully explained and demonstrated. This was all very helpful and realistic. My follow up visit indicated improved strength and I was rewarded with some additional exercises. I feel confident that I'm in very good hands.

    I am so glad we found Richard! He has been helping my mum back on her feet after a fall and breaking her hip. Richard is very patient and caring but also makes sure you get the most out of every session. Completely trusting and local, I would recommend Richard and his clinic.

    I’ve known and trusted Leira for a number of years now both as a fitness instructor and a physiotherapist. In the recent months she’s been in physio mode on me for a MCL injury. The physio I receive is genuine, focussed, challenging and tailored perfectly to my goals and capabilities. Amazing work Leira and a big thank you

    As a qualified and registered physiotherapist, Richard's knowledge, skill, experience and personality has quite simply transformed my life. For many many years I have experienced severe lower back pain and sciatica which was getting worse restricting my ability to walk any distance and undertake normal daily tasks. With great patience, Richard has worked with me to improve my confidence, strength and physical ability. He monitors how I undertake the tasks making sure I am always safe and gently encouraging me to work harder. I easily and frequently get distracted and Richard's professionalism, sense of humour and person centred approach helps to keep me focused and concentrating on the exercises. As a consequence of Richard's skill, patience and personality I no longer experience sciatica, my back pain has reduced considerably, I can walk for longer and faster and I can do more. So this is what I mean when I say Richard as a skilled physiotherapist has transformed my life. Thank you Richard. Dr. Stephen Pugh

    I've been going to see Richard at his Heald Green clinic for over 3 years now. Nothing too formal, I just usually just book in when tweak something at the gym! I have always found him to be friendly and knowledgeable and, unlike other physios I have visited, he has always managed to sort out my issue within a session or two. He's even given me advice about warming up for my deadlifts that I still follow to this day (because it works!). Today I went to see him because I've had a knot in my upper back muscles for a couple of weeks and it wasn't going away on his own. I booked in for a 30-minute Sports Massage and by the end of the session my issue was completely resolved. The new web site makes booking in super quick and easy and I've always found there to be convenient times available (I booked in less than 24 hours before my latest appointment). The prices are also very fair too, which is great if you're self-funding rather than using insurance. There's now a second physio based at his Heald Green clinic too, so there's cover for the days when Richard is at his other clinic or doing home visits. Overall I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Richard and his clinic to anyone looking for a physio. Don't put up with pain, just book in and get it sorted!

    I come from a background of health and fitness, starting working in a gym in late 2019. As I progressed through my health and fitness qualifications at the gym, I came to realise that these courses wouldn’t allow me to work with the people I truly wanted to work with; people with complex health conditions and mobility struggles, who needed someone with patience to help them get their function back.

    Across my degree I have worked with people from a variety of backgrounds and abilities in my personal training business. I am a regular in the gym and enjoy various styles of dance in my spare time, and I started Olympic weightlifting in January of 2025. Following completion of my degree and subsequent registration with the HCPC and CSP, I’m excited to start working with Richard in the Heald Green community.

    Services I Offer:
    Musculoskeletal physiotherapy • Sports Massage
    • Exercise advice and technique corrections • Sports injury treatment and advice

    Each person is different, and I do not believe in “copy and paste” treatment programmes. I treat people based on their symptoms and the activity they want to get back to doing, because each person’s ability is unique and should be supported.
