Testimonials

We are delighted to have helped many people stay pain-free and have many 5-star reviews on Google.

I recently injured my elbow at work and it was causing quite considerable pain. It was impacting work that much that I felt I needed the help of a physio. Rick was recommended. He came to my house and ran through some light exercises to see what the problem is and help reduce the pain. Those exercises I have carried on with and the pain has dramatically reduced, giving me much more ability with my manual labour job. I can’t recommend Rick highly enough..
Rick has been a fantastic physio and I would highly recommend him for treatment. His professional manner, knowledge, and his extensive working experience allowed him to piece together, what was in my case, a complicated puzzle. Despite seeing multiple professionals, it was only Rick who was able to pull out pertinent bits of information in order to reach a conclusion and enable the correct management. Thank you!!
Richard at Woodford Physio is exceptional! From the first appointment, his friendly and professional approach put me at ease. He thoroughly assessed my condition, explained the treatment plan clearly, and answered all my questions with patience. The results have been incredible – I noticed significant improvement after just a few sessions, and his guidance on home exercises has been invaluable. Richard’s expertise, holistic approach, and genuine care make him the best physio I’ve ever seen. Highly recommended!
I've just started my physio sessions with rick I'm really enjoying them, I've really valued the time Rick has taken to understand my injury and provide me with a plan and approach. Ricks really helped me to understand the exercises I need to do and the mechanisms by how they improve my injury, fundamentally rick is friendly and approachable and I would definitely recommend him!
Rick is a top physio and has a brilliant set up. He makes you feel super comfortable and spends time asking questions to work out the best approach to take. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a physio in the Cheshire area.
Rick is very friendly and welcoming, he has an approach to trying to find the issue with various techniques/tests and considering the whole body to try to identify the root cause which is a marked change from other physio appointments I have had. Even after one initial session I’m confident that we’ll get to the bottom of my current issue and maybe spot other legacy issues too!
Rick has helped me come back from a torn ACL to playing squash. He's professional and friendly and I highly recommend him. He has a nice clean studio to work in, and provides a digital copy of your rehabilitation programme to make it easy to do your exercises at home. He has an excellent booking system on his website and has always been very accommodating if ever I've needed change an appointment. I honestly can't recommend him highly enough. We're lucky to have such a good physio in our area 🙂
I have had issues with calf and hamstring injuries over a period of time Quickly and easily booked initial consultation during which ,after a thorough examination ,a number of causes were identified .Rick set out a planned course of action . Very professional but in a relaxed way . Many thanks
I attended the Woodford Physio for the first time yesterday and was assessed and treated by Richard. As a health care professional myself I can say with absolute confidence that Richard did an extremely thorough assessment, explaining his findings and the treatment he was to give. He was kind, thoughtful and professional, and listened carefully to my description of symptoms. I am very impressed by the care I received and would recommend him without reservation.
I contacted Rick for a home visit after undergoing surgery for a full hip replacement. He did a full assessment of my medical conditions both from a pre and post op perspective and provided advice and exercises to support my recovery. I found him very knowledgeable about my conditions and easy to talk to. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
During my initial consultation with Rick I found him to be very knowledgeable and he made me feel comfortable and relaxed. His initial assessment was comprehensive and thorough. He was systematic in his approach and considered my problem in the context of the ‘bigger picture’ of my life as a busy working parent. I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family.
