Optimal Physio
We help active people aged 40+ who live in/near Newton Mearns or Largs get back to enjoying running, golf or the gym without worrying about pain relief, making your injury worse or needing surgery. Just thought I would drop you a quick line to let you know I successfully completed the Kilmarnock Room The Toon 10k yesterday.

Managed it in a reasonably respectable (for me) time too. I couldn't have done this without your guidance and support over the past couple of years and just wanted you to know I really appreciate it. Two years ago I was advised to stop running altogether so yesterday was a real milestone for me. 3. Get back to your activities and prevent this injury from returning again in the future.
Services
Our aim is to improve the health and well being of our clients. We are passionate about healthy living and getting people active, keeping their independence, and helping them get back to following their passion and doing the sport and activities they love with the people they love without medication or the need for surgery.
Your first appointment will last approximately one hour, this makes sure we have the time to assess, diagnose and explain your injury fully while starting your treatment plan and your recovery from day 1. We will start by asking you some simple questions about your injury, pain or concerns.

This helps us to understand your pain, do some testing so that we can give you an accurate diagnosis and then take the time to explain what this means to you, what our treatment options are and give you appropriate timescales for healing or recovery.We always encourage lots of questions so feel free to ask us anything!

We have put together this range of products through a network of suppliers, the buy buttons will take you through to the sellers web site where you can buy the products. There is a lot of misleading and inaccurate information available relating to low back pain. So we have made this ebook to give you free information you can trust.
We treat active people over the age of 40 who want to get back to the sport or activity they love. We treat a lot of runners, golfers and people who attend gym classes. We understand your pain can be frustrating, and you may be worried that it is more serious as it hasn't gone away after a few weeks of rest.

Googled Optimal Physio by chance. Steven McLean diagnosed my longstanding, lower back problem, within mins. His direct application of physio and accompanying video exercises worked wonders for me within short period of time. I now have a mobility and ability to walk again without the associated years of discomfort.
Would thoroughly recommend this Practice.

First went to see Steven over a year and a half ago, not being able to walk much due to Achilles issues on both feet, short term exercises to help with pain management into long term goals have finally got me back to being normal again, Steven was very good at explaining each muscle and why I was feeling pain. Couldn't recommend them highly enough for anyone that's struggling with pain management and can't seem to ever get back to normal. Thanks again guys!!

Great experience of working with Steven and the team at Optimal Physio. Steven has treated me with a few sports related injuries. Steven is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain things.
He understands both the physical and mental impacts of missing out on sports and hobbies and was really passionate about getting me back to those sports.
He is focused not only on treating the injury but also on helping to prevent and reduce the risk of future injury.
I would most definitely recommend Optimal Physio to anyone looking for a good physio!

Highly recommend the team at Optimal Physio. Broke my foot after falling over the dog and spent 11weeks in a boot feeling I would not be able to cycle or go on long walks again. They explained fully what my injury had done to my foot and put together an excellent rehab programme, that was emailed to me after every session, with great encouragement and now I am pain free and back to full fitness. Thank you for giving me back my confidence and ability to enjoy my hobbies again.

Highly recommend.
I had a foot injury with a painful right ankle for about 5 months and asked Steven for help. He diagnosed over the online session and explained the cause and solution clearly and patiently. During the face-to-face appointment, he used the technology to assess my walking and running gait and visualise my problem for a better understanding. The tailored recovery and exercise plans were encouraging and effective. It’s been really great to get back to running and football now.
For me, the service from Steven was not only just a physiotherapy but also a re-comprehension of the

Highly recommended.  Had pain in both knees and was concerned running may be harming them as well as the daily discomfort.  Steven diagnosed over an online session and was very positive and reassuring, explaining clearly cause and resolution.
It was great that I could proactively tackle the problem without stopping running.  He had a very positive approach and realistic timeframe using progressive home exercises and follow up online sessions which were very effective.  He also provided very useful information on injury prevention and the app is great with videos and tracking.

Iam glad I found Steven as I have had back problems for years. After just a couple of visits there was a great improvement in my condition. I wish I had found Steven ages ago as Iam sure I would have had years of pain free back problems. Try him he is superb.

I attended Steven at Optimal Physio for 4 months due to distal radius fracture to my right wrist and would highly recommend him due to the outstanding service I received.
On my first consultation, Steven assessed my injury, provided me with a personally tailored exercise program, discussed my expectations and helped me set realistic goals for my journey to recovery.
Throughout this journey Steven has not only supported me with my injury but has supported me with my mental health too due to the anxious state I was in following my accident.
Steven is highly skilled in his field and genuinely cares
