What people say about us
“I’ve been running for over 60 years now from 5k through to marathon distance. As I have got older my passion for running is still there but I need to look after myself in order to keep doing what I love. The whole team at Physio Fitness are fantastic with me. From treatment and massage to gravity assisted running and strengthening. They understand what I need and put a plan in place to get me there. You really feel that treatment is individualised to you, your activity level and your goals. I have recommended many of my friends and family to come to the team here. I have no doubt that without their help I would not be running to the level that I am able to.”

After competing at the World Championships followed by the British Championship I was selected by GB to compete at Sub Junior level. This required me to step up my training in intensity and duration and subsequently I developed tendonitis in my wrist. Things were looking bleak until I met the team at PhysioFitness. With their help I am now back on track and will be competing at the European Championships. I can’t thank the team enough for their support during what has been a difficult time for me.

I’m older now and throughout my career had a lot of injuries, perhaps due to my ‘crazy’ style of playing! Now my main complaint is a spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spine) which I’m trying to manage. The two ways I manage that are the great deep tissue work from the Physio Fitness team and the other has been the Hypervibe vibration plate. The team introduced me to whole body vibration, which has been absolutely brilliant and I now use at home daily. These treatments help me keep on top of my condition and able to stay active and do the things I want to do.

After suffering for 4 years with Chronic Pain in my back and hips I had given up hope of ever having a pain free day. I had been seen by so many different medical professionals and no one could shed any light on my pain. I lost my job after serving for 12 years in the military. I contacted Physio Fitness Dorset and met the inspirational team who been totally incredible in helping me. I can’t thank everyone at PhysioFitness enough for their help and support and I don’t think I could have achieved being selected for the UK Invictus Team without your physiotherapy!

I came to PhysioFitness after a crash in New Zealand where I fractured my shoulder and damaged my rotator cuff. The NHS treatment I was offered wasn’t sufficient and they didn’t understand that for a living I ride a bike downhill at speed! Thats when I was recommended PhysioFitness where the team understood my requirements immediately, they tailored my rehabilitation to my individual demands and getting me riding again. Injuries are fairly common ground with Downhill riding but i’m always confident the team at PhysioFitness are there to put me back together.

After coming out of a long period of poor health I was completely wheelchair bound. Finding Physio Fitness turned my life around, from the very first visit I have been treated with kindness and respect and my association with the team has brought me nothing but joy. I have made connections with members of the team that I would say goes beyond being a patient and more to being a friend. The equipment available has allowed me to get the most out of my body, through my work with them I have been able to push myself to achieve more than I could have ever of thought possible. It is an amazing place and myself and my wife sincerely thank them all.

A few years ago I fractured my right foot. After numerous x-rays and what seemed like forever I was advised that it had healed and I could go back to running, but every time I ran I was in agony with my foot. After seeing Physio Fitness at a White Star Running event they advised I had scar tissue that had built up around my ankle.
I booked an appointment but honestly doubted there was anything that could be done. The deep massage that was provided to my ankle over time got easier and the scar tissue was removed. I was also given exercises to increase the strength on my weak right leg.
2 months later i’m pain free! Running is going great still working on the exercises and all going well. I am so grateful to PhysioFitness for all their help and support. The whole team are a pleasure to know.

I have been seeing Physio Fitness with injuries involving in my sport, football, and have become a bit of a regular down there!! I couldn’t recommend anybody better, these guys are the best and will get you back to normality in next to no time! I have recently been visiting due to an infection in my ankle. The time scale of me being on the sideline was months but thanks to the superb treatment and 1-2-1 support by the team I was back quicker than expected! The knowledge and amount of kit the team have are first class. Really genuine bunch. visit them, you won’t regret it!

The team provide an excellent and personal service. As a semi professional athlete I can safely say that the reason I am still performing at the top of my game is due to the weekly treatment that I receive from the experts at Physio Fitness. They apply their knowledge to my sport and the movements that I complete. With their assitance I have adjusted my positioning on the board and length of my paddle to both prevent injury and improve performance. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone to use the service offered especially Shockwave Therapy, which gives amazing results.

I got injured on England under 18 camp and my club at the time had no physiotherapist for me to do my rehabilitation with. Thats when I got referred to PhysioFitness. The whole team were welcoming and knowledgable talking me through the process from the first session. I had access to equipment that I otherwise wouldn’t of, helping to return me to training quicker than I expected. It was obviously a bad situation being injured, but the time I spent at Physiofitness has not just helped me with this injury but with my career going forward. I would recommend anyone who is unable to play their sport due to injury to see the team.

I have been coming to the team at Physio Fitness for the last 5 years, I always feel at ease with the super friendly staff from the front desk to the treatment room. I have had a long sporting career and seen an abundance of healthcare professionals but Physio Fitness go above and beyond. Whether it has been to rehabilitate me back from injury, help prepare me for my next tournament or generally just ease aches and pains to keep me training, I can always rely on Physio Fitness. The team have the same attitude to their work as I have to my sport, constantly pushing to be better. They are are always investing in the newest equipment and keeping up to date with the latest treatments, I cannot recommend Physio Fitness enough!
