My mum had septic arthritis which was being treated as simple arthritis and advised to keep mobilizing every hour .
Her knee was very swollen but we were reassured that it was better than last week.
Clearly she had nasty right knee infection - it could have been worse /life threatening if I had not taken her to the hospital in view of debilitating pain in right knee and we were told it’s just because of lack of muscle use .
Gutted ! Unfortunately -
Just editing this post and letting you know that we saw your physiotherapist 3 times over 1.5 week and symptoms were getting worse rather than better and each time we were told it’s a lot better and her knee swelling has come down which was not the case anyways . We saw her last Friday and she did acupuncture on septic arthritic joint - introducing more infection in the joint externally !
If your physiotherapist was trained and had an experience- she should have picked up it’s not simple arthritis - I am not expecting a diagnosis frm her however she could have said I don’t know it doesn’t seem to be simple arthritis flare up - but she didn’t say anything infact reassured us wrongly and misguided us - omg - can’t believe it !
Also , your Physio said it’s locking up of muscles in L4 , L5 and gave some exercises - just for her information - it was discitis and collection ( pus) and not spasm / locking up of back muscles .
My mum is in ITU and critical .
I will take a legal action soon !
I wanna give you a zero rating - putting my mum life at risk and she is battling for her life - SEPTIC !

Jezzie was a really great physio. She knew exactly how best to target my recovery in terms of prescribing the right rehabilitation plan for me, all whilst building up a great rapport with myself over a short period of time. Would highly recommend Jezzie and Achieve Physiotherapy More...

Alice is definitely the best physio I have ever had! I suffered from a part torn bicep and pectoral tendon. I was able to carry on playing hockey while receiving weekly treatments. The i was injury free after around 8 weeks, which was considerably shorter than I though it was going to be. The rehabilitation exercises to help strengthen the muscles back to peak level were great and could be done at home. I would highly recommend More...

Can’t recommend Alice enough to sort out all manner of sports injuries and niggles. Being a ‘more senior’ player I’ve challenged her with a variety of issues over time and she’s diagnosed and treated each with enthusiasm and professionalism and helped keep me playing. Thanks Alice

I visited Alice after a boxing injury to my wrist. After an excellent examination and diagnosis I am happy to say that after a few sessions of treatment my injury has drastically improved and I am back in the gym doing what I want again.

I was experiencing a lot of pain and stiffness in my neck. My daughter (a dedicated hockey player) recommended I see Alice at Achieve in Solihull. I have been very impressed! Alice has comprehensives knowledge and experience and takes great care to understand the problem and what you are expecting to achieve. After several weeks of her therapy, my neck is much more mobile and the muscles more relaxed. She is doing a great job and I can recommend her without hesitation. More...

I'm a professional athlete so trying to remain injury free is of massive importance to me. I started to visit Achieve after a back injury and the results were almost immediate. I've seen Rick several times with niggles and pains and he always diagnoses the issue and helps to reduce the pain before curing it over a period of sessions. He's even helped to reduce the scarring on my face caused from my last contest! I recommend Achieve almost on a weekly basis to someone new. More...

I suffered with an ongoing neck issue for months. After having treatment elsewhere with no real progress I decided to try Achieve based on a friend's recommendation, I'm so glad I did! Alice was superb - professional, knowledgeable, friendly and brilliant at what she does. After some very 'hands-on' treatment and exercise my neck is now perfect and I can't thank her enough. If you're having any problems, I can't recommend Achieve / Alice enough. More...

I came in to see Rickie having seen my Doctor who helpfully had told me that I had either a hip or back issue and he couldn't do anything for 6 weeks.
As I couldn't walk more than 10 yards without severe pain I decided to seek help and a friend recommended Rickie.
Less than a couple of minutes into the consultation he had identified the problem area (turned out to be my back) and after one session I was able to move around again. After more sessions the improvement continued and I am now pretty much there after 3 weeks of following his advice on exercises etc .
I really have been really impressed and would highly recommend Rickie and achieve to anyone.

I saw Rickie for shoulder pain and he quickly diagnosed the issue and fixed the problem. I was very surprised that my shoulder felt pain free so quickly! He made me feel at ease during sessions and also made me feel well informed about the issue, causes and how to strengthen my shoulder to prevent future injury. Would definitely recommend to friends and family! More...

I had Plantar fasciitis from September last year and left it, and continued running which made it a lot worse. I decided to see Rickie, who diagnosed it, treated it, gave me advice on training, and strengthening my feet.
It has been a month since I last saw him and last night competed in my first fell race in almost a year!
If you have an injury, go and see him, top quality, knowledge is great, treatment is great, and advice is second to none. Cheers Rickie

I used to think any physio would do when I hit a couple of injuries. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
I have had tendinitis as well as torn shoulder tendon and an achilles problem, in the last 3 years.
Initially going with the NHS but soon found that their emphasis on me being back to my best wasn’t a shared priority.
Seeing Rickie was the best move I made. A no-nonsense approach to your injury and extremely knowledgeable. Understands where you should be with your recovery and if you are cheating at all. I say cheating, as in I hadn’t completed some of my home work (stretches) and Rickie could tell. This impressed me that he genuinely wanted me free of the injury as soon as possible. After that we stayed on track and i was back in sport in no time at all.
If you can handle some being pushed and pulled around a little, and occasionally having g to work as heard as he does, then Rickie will definitely have you on the road to recovery.
I make sure I get some sessions with Rickie on my trips home from the UAE now!
Highly recommended.

I suffered with Plantar fasciitis for 9 months amd went to see Achieve Physiotherapy. Ricky was fantastic. Identified the injury and cause, and proceeded with intensive treatment which by May last year allowed me to start fell running again. 12 months later I have progressed so much that I have recently ran a race over 2 minutes faster. I could not have done this without the treatment Ricky put me through. Any niggles or injuries now and I will get in touch and get it sorted asap. As a UKA and Fell Running Association running coach, I will refer my clients to Achieve Physiotherapy to have any niggles and injuries seen too. More...

Rick knows his stuff...
I'd had a bad back for about four months and had visited various physiotherapists in the Edgbaston area, who didn't really seem to know what they were on about.
.. Rick on the other hand spotted the problem straight away, and got me sorted within the space of a few weeks. Safe to say those facet joints are back to normal now, thanks to this boss.

After only a few treatment sessions there was a remarkable improvement and for the first time in a quite a while I'm no longer experiencing any discomfort.
Rick's personable approach, explaining things in plain English, together with his expertise means I wont hesitate to contact him in the future if I ever require any further treatment.

Rick was absolutely amazing in helping me. I had ongoing back problems, which got worse while I was pregnant and I was unable to walk unaided. Within a couple of sessions he helped with the pain and I was able to walk normally. I continued my treatment after birth and am now back to my previous fitness, running everyday. I would recommend him any day for both ante-natal and all other physio treatments. I literally feel I have got my life back again. More...

Rickie @ Achieve came highly recommended so I booked in for an assessment. Although I went in with knee pain, upon closer inspection I was advised I had incredibly tight hip flexors which was the root cause? ! I had a marathon coming up and was worried I would miss it. Rickie was a life-saver. Within two sessions of physio, I was walking pain-free and with the additional stretches and trigger point exercises I was given as homework I made a full recovery within a month and ran a PB!! Don’t think twice, this guy knows his stuff. More...

Rick has treated my whole family over the years including numerous rugby injuries which my son has received.
He also diagnosed my daughter with a serious problem with her ankle and referred her to a Consultant who carried out major surgery on her foot, ankle and calf.
we returned for her aftercare where he assisted in her recovery helping to improving the foot/ankle and her walking gait. I Also had physiotherapy on my ankle following ligament and tendon repairs.
Rick has always been friendly and extremely professional and the hands on treatment has resulted in a speedy recovery from all the injuries/operations. We were given follow up exercises to strengthen the relevant areas. I would 100% recommend Achieve Physiotherapy to everyone.
