Fantastic Physiotherapist, I cannot recommend Orla and the team enough. Have helped diagnose and treat several injuries and kept me running. Orla is amazing at explaining the problem and how to fix itPosted on Google![]()

Been looked after a few times over three years and each time have been the best. Detailed, patient, ongoing treatment and the best practitionersPosted on Google![]()

Going to the practice is an absolute pleasure. All so friendly and helpful. Above all Orla Cunningham is the most outstanding physio I have ever experienced (and I've had a good few!). She understands the body so well and before she even attempts to use her miracle hands, she thoroughly analyses the problem. I had a bad knee for months. I saw Orla, she said it's not your knee it's your hip flexor that's causing the problem. A few weeks later I was almost 100 percent. Truly outstandingPosted on Google![]()

Referred by a friend and couldn’t be happier. Great friendly service and finally feel I am on the path to recovery from a surfing shoulder injury. App with exercises to perform at home is intuitive and easy to use.Posted on Google![]()

I had such a great experience with Alice! She was incredibly professional, friendly, and really took the time to explain everything clearly so I understood exactly what was going on and how the treatment would help. I felt comfortable and well looked after the whole time. The session made a huge difference and I’ll definitely be coming back. The rest of the team were also so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

The booking process is very straightforward, and the staff is exceptionally kind and helpful. Alice has helped me a lot in my recovery from a knee injury by providing detailed strength and stretching instructions as well as highly effective manual treatment. I can highly recommend this place to anyone in need of a competent and attentive physiotherapist.
