I came into Gosforth Physio and Wellness one day in acute lower back pain feeling quite emotional unable to stand up straight and immediately felt comfortable and cared for after Kevin and James took the time to identify and explain what was going on with my biomechanics to cause this more chronic issue and intermittent flare ups that I get with my back. I want to say thank you because I left that day in much less pain (dry needling isn't fun but it works) feeling clear on where I need to focus to get to the roots of the issue. Thanks so much. Highly recommend this clinic! More...

I went to Gosforth Physio and Wellness to have my shoulder assessed following about a year of niggling pain. James carried a very thorough assessment and by the end of the session I knew the diagnosis, where I was in the healing process and what was needed to be done to fix it. James advised me that for this to work it had to be an active process on both our parts. Due to the chronicity of the problem he advised between 5-7 sessions but that if we weren’t seeing an improvement we would wrap things up or explore other options. 6 sessions on and I am discharged with a much better shoulder and strong home exercise programme. Thanks James for the help! Highly recommend this clinic. More...

Posted on behalf of Ian Birch "I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for the expert tuition provided by Kevin and more recently, James. Around 2 years ago and after a series of unexplained back injuries going back many years I had extreme difficult walking for more than 10-15mins. This seriously impacted on both my home and work life and I was in a bad state physically and mentally. With Kevin's expert guidance, I have fully recovered and am now fitter and stronger than I have been since my University days (a long time ago) - I even managed the GNR in a reasonable time. I believe that starting and now continuing Pilates as a routine part of life has significantly minimised the frequency and severity of 'bad back' episodes, consequently saving me £100s in physio bills!"

I've been having sessions with Kevin for nearly a year now and I can honestly say he is a miracle worker. His approach to dealing with and managing pain is refreshingly logical- figure out the root cause and triggers- don't just treat and mask the symptoms. Kevin is the 1st medical professional who has taken seriously me when I've told him I was in almost constant pain. I was pretty much at the end of my tether. I have had chronic back, neck and shoulder pain for 13years (I'm only 30). I have seen my GP umpteen times and been told everything from 'its back pain just deal with it', 'it's all in your head', 'your too young to have back pain', 'it's probably just a pulled muscle' to 'it could be an injury' but it has never been investigated and I have been fobbed off with various painkillers, sleeping pills and then, anti epilepsy pills- those were the last straw- I'm not epileptic so I wasn't going to be taking them! I went to the clinic on a whim and spoke to Julie on reception, explained my issues and she said that Kevin would be able to help. My 1st appointment was nearly two hours long and Kevin assessed every inch of my spine, neck, shoulders and pelvis. We slowly managed to figure where the pain was coming from and how to begin to fix it. With a combination of exercises I had to do at home, dry needling and acupuncture, over a 3 month period I went from feeling like a 80 year old back to feeling like a 30 year old. After 3 sessions I was able to sleep a whole night without waking up with the pain in my shoulder and arm. This was a major achievement for me. After 3 months of treatment, I started the Pilates classes and I have been doing them weekly ever since. I very rarely have any pain now and I can't thank Kevin enough. He has given me a new lease of life. More...

I have been seeing Kevin on and off for 7 or 8 years with various sporting injuries and cannot rate him highly enough. I often present Kevin with challenging timescales due to sporting events and he is always more than helpful in not only the treatment but advice that he gives me. What I like most about the treatment I have received is that Kevin is always keen for you to do rehabilitation exercises at home in your own time to reduce the need for additional sessions. There is a high focus on education in terms of body functionality and relating this to everyday life as well as clearly explaining the rehabilitation process. This has not only kept me engaged but also created a keen interest in body mechanics which is driven by Kevin and his passion. I also attend Pilates within the centre which was brand new to me and I have found this to show noticeable improvements in not only my strength but also running technique. Going to the Physio is not something that people want to do however I can honestly say that I would always recommend this place based on the service that I have been provided with over a number of years.

Really good treatment at Gosforth Physio. Warm welcome always from receptionist Julie. Kevin sorted my foot problem & Jamie fixed me up with orthotics which are preventing further injuries. Pilates sessions are great - hard work but lots of humour from Kevin & James helps to make you work harder ! Highly recommend More...

Mark was a miracle worker when I had the most unbearable back pain with a prolapsed disc. He helped get me back on my feet and mobile again and was absolutely lovely. I've since started doing the Pilates classes that Kevin does - I'm really not a Pilates kind of person but they are actually good fun and really helping with my pain and everything else. I've had some other treatment with Kevin and he's been great. This isn't the sort of physio practice who are just out to take your money - they aim to get you back to normal (or better) as soon as possible. I would recommend seeing Mark or Kevin to anyone with an acute or chronic problem More...

I recently attended an 'Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation' session with Stuart. Thought you knew about mindfulness? Think again! A truly brilliant afternoon to open your eyes - mine were opened; and closed! Changed my meditation beliefs for the better. I can only thank you Stuart for the time, education, relaxation and HIGHLY recommend this for all with an interest in the practice; or even to enhance health and well-being! Perfect venue for the event too. New, fresh, perfectly balanced! 10/10 More...
