Had an hour appointment with Kymme due to an ankle and foot injury from football.
She was brilliant, asked specific questions and got right down to the diagnosis for each. Then talked me through some exercises I could carry on at home before managing to ease out the tension in the injuries through a sports massage.
Felt much better after the appointment and even better today after waking up.
Couldn't recommend them anymore!

Have just completed my physio with David after a recent wrist operation.
I can’t praise him high enough.
Very professional and genuinely interested in getting you back to fitness.
He has helped me a lot and I am a million times better than I was when I saw him back in November 2020.
Would totally recommend Better Physiotherapy

Overall hugely beneficial appointment. Detailed assessment and very clear ongoing rehab guidance.
I've seen a lot of physios over the years due to playing american football for over 20years! I would highly recommend visiting Better Physiotherapy.
If you're not sure why you're in pain and want to know how to stop it then, going by my experience, you will leave your appointment knowing what you need to do to feel better.

I went to David with a sore knee which stopped me from cycling my bike, I was really pleased with the time David gave me on my initial consultation. He left me with a number of exercises to do and training guidelines and following this I have been able to get back on my bike after a very short period so I couldn’t be happier.

Came to Better Physiotherapy about pain in my calves while training for my second marathon. David took time to completely understand my physical and emotional symptoms and took me through a series of exercises. After a couple weeks of the new regime I was back on track!

I came to Dave a few years ago with back issues whilst sitting at my desk at work. Dave took the time to fully understand my problem taking me through a very thorough examination. He was extremely professional and was able to make me feel at ease which I really valued. I left with a range of exercises which got the results I was looking for.

Dave was my physiotherapist during my time with the national age grade rugby team. He was always very professional and passionate about his work with myself and the other players. His ability to get to know each player individually meant he was able to offer a personal level of treatment of a high level. Recommended

Having worked with David throughout my time with Scottish rugby, he was able to get me back up and fit play having recently returned from an ongoing shoulder injury. His ability to work with a range of clients and to go the extra mile ensuring I had the necessary rehab programmes to follow was outstanding. Would highly recommend for all athletes and/or working professionals who may be suffering from an injury.
