Suffered for 2months with damaged rotator cuff till could not sleep or move arm properly. First visit Andy diagnosed what was wrong, over time movement was restored and with exercise strength as well. No pressure to follow up appointments only as I wanted to. His knowledge is reassuring,would visit again at first sign of a problem. More...
Andrew
I went to see Andy at The Physio Circle with my son. Over the past year my son has had various growing pain problems but it was his back that was causing him the biggest issue.
Andy knew what the problem was and over the course of his sessions, along with informative stretching exercises to do at home, he is now pain free. By working on his core and overall flexibility he has strengthened his growing body, so hopefully he’ll have less problems as he continues to grow.
Highly recommend.

I damaged my rotator cuff earlier this year and put off going to the physio for a while whilst the gyms were shut. Eventually took myself to Andy and got fixed! He's very knowledgeable and competent in what he does; would recommend to anyone in the Stockport area and beyond. Cheers Andy! More...
Keith Smith
I saw Andy with acute plantar issues which started out of the blue. I am a regular walker and this was becoming very difficult.
Andy quickly identified the problem and outlined a couple of visits for treatment and a regime of exercise. The problem was significantly improved and Andy made suggestions for insoles to help correct the problem over time. I was extremely impressed that Andy did not recommend repeated visits for treatment but rather said that if I experienced further difficulty I could see him again as necessary in an effort to resolve this. I found Andy very professional, pleasant and honest to deal with and will not hesitate to recommend him to others.
So pleased was I that I also asked Andy to assist with a chronic shoulder issue. Same result. Well done Andy

Excellent physio with the ability to share his knowledge in a way you can understand. Andy made me feel at ease straight away and thanks to the treatment I have been able to recover from my back injury. Highly recommended
Richard Divall
Pleasantly surprised to find such a professional, knowledgeable physio in walking distance of my house.
Andy fixed my ankle in 3 sessions and gave advice on strengthening exercises to prevent reoccurrence.
Should I ever need to I would definitely go back and certainly recommend to others.
Reasonably priced and no pressure to carry on with sessions unnecessarily.

Completely recommend Andy at the Physio Circle - this is the first time I've looked at private treatment and I'd always go back now. Contacted Andy in January as I was getting quite bad knee pain from running that was beginning to stop me from walking, I was able to get an appointment within a few days of enquiry. Andy was professional, clearly very passionate about his work and really clear with instruction on what steps could be taken to help. Within 2 months the knee pain has subsided and I'm able to go for short runs which is a huge improvement on where I was before the new year. I was reassured by the measures in place for Covid, Andy always wore a mask, there was hand gel available on entry and things were spaced out in the waiting area (at no point did I wait with anyone else).

I’d been experiencing significant pain on a running heel injury and numerous specialists had failed to resolve the issue. The pain had prevented any participation in sporting activity . Andy was forward thinking, creative and truly professional. He prescribed preventative exercises, communicated with me regularly and applied weekly intervention. Six months on and I am totally pain free. All the service was delivered in an inspirational manner which kept me motivated. Andy’s methods, underpinned by expert knowledge and driven by innovative techniques, resolved the identified issue rapidly. I can’t recommend Andy highly enough. Absolutely superb service! More...

Look no further. Andy will fix you! After putting off seeking help for my injured knee through running, thinking YouTube videos will suffice, (it didn’t, it got worse) I found Andy.
Andy is not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional in what he does but he is able to relay it to his patients in layman’s terms due to his fantastic easy going nature.
Having not being able to run/walk 1k without pain or limping I am now back to running 10-15k again PAIN FREE!!
Not only did Andy analyse, diagnose and treat my knee injury with precision, he has also given me exercises to maintain my now pain free knee!
This all took part in his pristine clinic with all Covid guidelines adhered to! Thank you Andy!

Andy is an extremely knowledgable and professional physiotherapist. I attended the clinic due to parathesia in my arm. Andy immediately located the issue and after a course of sessions my problem is all resolved. I would highly recommend Andy.

Andy is great at what he does and is a really nice guy. I had a foot operation due to arthritis earlier this year and after lockdown needed help getting movement back in my big toe joint. After 6 weeks it feels so much better and has improved massively! If you need a physio I’d highly recommend Andy! More...

Andy is brilliant, would recommend him to anyone.
Very knowledgeable and always puts you at ease for a session. Explains very well the problem and the course of treatment needed to fix the issue.

Went to Andy with a problematic shoulder with no real idea what caused the injury.
He quickly established the affected spot and within a short few weeks the pain has gone.
Important to note that the injury was not a serious one so Andy kept the number of visits on an interval basis with plenty of exercises and video tutorials in between. This was important to myself as I do not work standard 9-5 hours.

Not a bad thing to say about The Physio Circle and their team, Andy helped me with my knee when I thought it wouldn’t get better the manipulation and exercises he gave me helped my knee and still is helping my knee to strengthen, would highly recommend for all niggles you may have!!

After suffering dreadful back pain. Having X Rays and taking strong painkillers, I rang the physio in despair.
Andy said it was the nerves in my back.
After 3 sessions I am amazed at the results. No pressure for lots of sessions. Would highly recommend this practice.

I Started working with Andy in 2018, top bloke and even better physio. I am an elite international athlete and Andy has helped prevent injuries through giving me exercises plans and has guided me through rehab whenever I’ve become injured. There’s been times when I’ve hobbled into the clinic with what I though to be a severe injury and half hour later I’ve been able to walk out and go for a run due to andy working his magic . Always available when I text and call him and honestly can’t speak highly enough of him and the work he does! More...

After having a swollen injured knee for 4 months I went to see Andy who had been recommended by a friend. I cannot thank him enough, he is a superb physio who is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He knew exactly and explained what the injury was and put me at ease straight away. After four sessions and exercises Andy gave me to do at home the injury is well on the way to a full recovery. I would highly recommend Andy and the Physio Circle. More...
Carolyn
I was recommended The Physio circle by a friend who had undergone treatment there. I had the start of a frozen shoulder following the wearing of a cast to treat a broken wrist. Andy was friendly, approachable and clearly knew his stuff! The combined approach of hands on physio and coaching through exercises brought my range of movement and flexibility back- and gave me confidence to take up cycling again! Thank you for your care Andy, and I will recommend your services wholeheartedly. More...
Will
I went to Andy and The Physio Circle due to an ongoing knee problem. Can’t speak highly enough of the quality of service I received as Andy instantly discovered that my injury had been consistently misdiagnosed by multiple other physios and was actually an ACL rupture, he wrote a letter of recommendation for my
GP in order to ensure I was referred for an MRI and his diagnosis was spot on. Highly recommend.

I went to see Andy after an initial referral through HR at work. He is meticulous, leaving no stone unturned in finding the correct treatment for my muscle issues. Andy treated me for a frozen shoulder, now almost 100% unfrozen and stiffness in my lower back. The home exercise regime assisted my recovery, but the old adage, no gain without pain, fits nicely!I would happily recommend friends to this practice, but Andy knows most of them anyway! More...

I had a fair few physio session's with Andy and found him very knowledge about my problem. I had very limited use of my shoulder and neck due to a car crash, I was in a lot of pain and on a lot of painkillers, Andy has really helped with this. He really put me at ease and has helped ease my problem, I have found I am able to move better and with hardly any pain. Thanks Andy, I highly recommend The Physio Circle. More...

Had suffered with Plantar Fasciitis for about 8-9 months before finally giving in and doing something about it. I already knew Andy so thought I'd ask for some help! what I did receive was a very professional experience. He gave me a stretching and exercise plan which targeted the cause of the pain along with some ultra sound on the inflamed area. Within 12-16 weeks there was a massive difference, from not being able to walk without pain, to being able to walk, run and jump. Not 100% fixed yet, and still doing the program Andy put together but I can at least get out of bed in the mornings happy(ish). Thanks Andy. More...

After having undergone surgery to repair a labral tear following a dislocated shoulder during sparring (boxing) I went to Andy as the NHS was outright failing to provide appropriate rehab. His knowledge, kindness, diagnostic ability and thoroughly comprehensive approach have made that an incredibly worthwhile decision.I am now returning to boxing knowing that my shoulder is in a far, far better place than it would’ve been had I not been lucky enough to have Andy taking care of its rehabilitation. Whether he was breaking up scar tissue post-op, performing active release on tight areas, creating bespoke routines specific to my circumstances, applying his vast knowledge of anatomy or simply putting my mind at rest over niggles and pains he has been of overwhelming help and I am grateful to him for providing such a quality service and therefore could not recommend him highly enough.

I found Andy at The Physio Circle to be extremely knowledgeable, professional and the setting is very calm and relaxing. On the occasions where I arrived early for appointments Andy saw me straight away and appointments were always on schedule. I came away with lots of exercises and tips to help me increase shoulder strength and hopefully avoid any further neck and shoulder issues in the future. Would highly recommend! Thanks Andy! More...

I can highly recommend Andy at The Physio Circle. He is very personable and immediately makes you feel at ease. I have a number of back/hip issues that can flare up at any time. Andy got straight to the problem, providing relief from the pain and self help advice from day one. After initially being worried about causing more problems through exercise, Andy has given me the confidence to over come this and provided me with a great strengthening routine. I now feel I have the tools to facilitate continued improvement and prevent the need for further treatment. Thanks Andy! More...
