Rick is amazing - he is extremely tentative and thorough. He takes great care in explaining any problems and possible solutions, and is keen to ensure I fully understand what is going on and why.

I had a really positive experience with Woodford Physio. They were professional, friendly, and took the time to fully understand my problem before starting treatment. The exercises and advice I was given were clear and easy to follow, and I’ve already noticed a big improvement in my symptoms. The clinic was clean, welcoming, and appointments ran on time. I would highly recommend to anyone needing physio treatment.Posted on Naomi JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

So knowledgeable and actually takes into account of all medical issues and current to create the best plan and steps that are so effective!Posted on Ean DaviesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I saw Rick after a disappointing consultation with another local physio. He instantly put me at ease and recommended various exercises and routines to address my hip/back pain. He is clearly used to working with athletes at the top of their game, but was happy to help a desk-bound idler like me! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!Posted on Samantha BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After spending months with another physio and specialist I thought that my plantar fasciitis would never get resolved. A few months after doing sessions with Rick my symptoms are almost fully resolved. I can’t recommend and thank Rick enough.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
