thephysiopro improves function for GB Para-Archer
“
Matt was great at explaining the cause of my issues in a way that was easy to understand, and his demonstrations of exercises helped me see what I was supposed to be doing at home and why it would be beneficial.
I would absolutely recommend Matt to anyone requiring physio, whether you are an elite athlete, a busy parent or anywhere in between.”

From career-ending injury to Paralympic silver medal with thephysiopro
“
I owe Matt so much. This man has honestly changed my life personally and professionally. I don't know where I would be if I hadn't worked with him. I have broken the whole right side of my body and been told I might not be able to compete again and yet I have become a paralympic medalist and world champion all due to the treatment I have received from him.

Runner overcomes injury with thephysiopro to complete London Marathon at 61
“
While training for a marathon, fatigue, illness and chronic hip pain forced me to stop running altogether; I struggled to walk, let alone run just weeks before the race.
Matt was calm and quickly diagnosed the cause… Within 2 weeks I was running again! Matt’s infectious positivity gave me the belief I could overcome this injury. I ran the 2024 London Marathon and will be forever grateful to Matt for getting me there.

Gymnast and runner manages injuries with thephysiopro
“
As an ex-gymnast and now runner, I have seen Matt for various injuries, which have all improved since seeing him.
I trust his knowledge and judgement. He is very personable and takes time to explain the physiology and reasoning behind his advice. I have also seen how he tailored his approach when I brought my daughter for a consultation.

thephysiopro resolves GB Paralympic Coach shoulder pain
“
I came to Matt with shoulder pain with loss of range of movement and a power reduction. Matt diagnosed that surgery was required, and created an extensive rehab programme.
My full range of movement and power have returned and I’m pain-free. Matt puts you at ease and explains the diagnosis and plan in a way that is easy to understand and follow. He is one of the best physios I have seen.
