Dan is comfortably the best physiotherapist I’ve ever received treatment from. I was struggling with shoulder pain that wasn’t just preventing me from working out, but was also impacting every day life: I couldn’t put on a shirt, reach for my seatbelt, or reach for anything at eye level without experiencing horrendous pain. After a fruitless episode of ‘ice it and massage’ with another physio, I booked an appointment with Dan, whose initial assessment was the most thorough I’ve ever experienced. Over the course of the next 4 months, Dan prescribed a wide variety of exercises to strengthen the shoulder to relieve impingement and instability. A year on, and I am completely pain free and lifting heavier than ever at the gym, and with complete confidence in my shoulder joint. I cannot recommend the team at Sports and Spinal Physio highly enough. Great work!

Exceptional Physiotherapy Care from Dan Smith

I had been suffering from a hip labral tear for 2 years before I saw Dan. I cannot recommend him highly enough for his expertise, dedication, and outstanding care. Over the past six months, he has carefully and gradually added load to my hip tendon, ensuring a structured and tailored approach to my rehabilitation. Thanks to his methodical treatment, I now feel like a new woman—more or less pain-free and able to move in ways I never thought possible.

Dan’s knowledge of my specific injury has been exceptional. He took the time to fully understand my condition and created a progressive rehabilitation plan that has worked wonders. His attention to detail, combined with his patience and encouragement, made all the difference in my recovery.

If you’re looking for a highly skilled and dedicated physiotherapist, Dan is the person to see. His expertise has truly transformed my mobility and quality of life.

I was recommended Dan and his Team by a Consultant to have some IDD Therapy to avoid Surgery. After a full course of treatment I found that it improved my posture and has made me feel like I’m ‘walking taller’. Dan carries out a thorough examination and recommended Strength and Stretching exercises which have helped with the pins and needles I have been experiencing down my leg. I found that his Team Amirtha, Heenal and Pav were also great. Jenny, too, is very helpful with the booking and payment process.

My wife recommended that I had some physio on my arm and she suggested Sports and Spinal Physio. From the start Sev was very helpful and professional in his examination and suggested various exercises for me to follow. After 6 sessions with him my arm is much better and would not hesitate to recommend him and his colleagues.

Amirtha was recommended to me when my progress during physiotherapy following hip replacement surgery went into reverse and I was looking for a 'second opinion'. Following a very thorough assessment, Amirtha had detected some unusual characteristics with the joint and strongly advised I first go back to my consultant before undertaking any new physiotherapy, suspecting a problem with the implant or the actual bone. Her suspicions were proved correct, the implant was loose and will be replaced. Her quick and accurate assessment has probably saved me from further damage should allow a much easier corrective surgery. Amirtha is instantly welcoming, friendly and a clear, kind and sympathetic communicator. She is demonstrably knowledgeable and thorough, I feel very reassured that I will be in safe hands through my next post-op recovery. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
