thephysiopro improves functionality and reduces pain for GB Para-Archer
I started seeing Matt for persistent arm pain, despite not having a specific injury. After a range of physio 'tests', Matt established that I was overloading my arm in both daily life and sport.
As well as a hands-on approach, he created a toolbox of stretches and exercises that helped me to strengthen my weaker muscles, improve my posture and prevent my arm from overworking.
Although there was an expectation that I would put in the hard work to get the most benefit, Matt was always eager to establish whether my symptoms were the "same, better or worse" following treatment and to make changes when needed.
Aside from the odd flare-up which tells me I've overdone it, the knowledge I have gained from seeing Matt has undoubtedly improved my overall functionality and reduced my pain.
Matt was enthusiastic and professional in his approach to physiotherapy and considerate of my history, abilities, and expectations as an individual. Always a friendly face, 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.
We all want to live as healthy and independent a life as possible and Matt will go out of his way to help you achieve your physio goals, as well as bringing boundless energy and enthusiasm to the process.”
