Monkman Physiotherapy

After struggling with COVID for two years and recovering from ICU, I was keen to return to cycling, my one love in life, but with severe weight gain and COVID rehabilitation issues I was really nervous and emotional about visiting someone for a professional bike fit... first of all I spoke with Toms wife who took the initial call, she put me right at ease and made me feel like I was making the right decisions... Tom spoke to me before the session and put me at ease... From the initial meet and greet I knew I was in the hands of someone who was going to fix me and get me back on my bike... his professionalism, manners and support was amazing, I have never felt so comfortable and relaxed. Tom left me not only in a better shape and better fit for my bike but full of confidence for the future, looking forward to future sessions as I lose more Weight...

After breaking my collarbone in 2 places in July last year and having an operation to install a 12cm plate on it, I was recommended to NHS Physio for rehabilitation; movement in my shoulder was very restricted. The NHS did a good job in initially getting it going again, but going once or twice a month just wasn’t moving things on too quickly in terms of getting more movement back in the shoulder. Monkman was recommended to me and I started seeing Jenny and then Tom. Both of them were really good and, just even doing half hour sessions, I could feel and see progress every time. The massaging of the shoulder was particular effective. I did perhaps about 8 sessions with them and could not fault the service. I’m pretty much back to full capacity doing things with my shoulder, which simply wouldn’t have been the case if it wasn’t for Jenny and Tom. Obviously would highly recommend.

I can’t recommend Joanne Murphy highly enough! I came to her with ongoing wrist pain that was really interfering with my work and everyday activities. Joanne took the time to thoroughly assess the issue, clearly explained what was going on, and created a treatment plan that actually worked. Her approach was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the process. Thanks to her expertise and care, my wrist is now at ease. If you’re looking for a physiotherapist who truly knows what she’s doing and genuinely cares, Joanne is the one to see.

I went in with an injury that had been plaguing me for years, when it was clear the physio wasn't working Tom recommended I stop the physio until I could visit the doctor for an injection. After the injection I came back to Tom and he worked with me until he was satisfied I could continue on my own. He's very professional and friendly, would highly recommend.

I visited Tom to seek help with an ongoing knee problem. The help Tom gave me has helped me in such a holistic way; he listened to the problems I was experiencing and was able to identify the issue straight away. After a couple of appointments I had the tools I needed to help care for my body including a small amount of exercises that took less than 15 mins to complete a day. Since my appointments my mindset about my knee has improved. After being so nervous to use my knee in bending and moving, I went paddle boarding at the weekend in Scotland and my knee coped really well. I was kneeling and moving a lot on it and I managed it without any pain or discomfort. Tom is caring, approachable, friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He puts people at ease and is dedicated to helping and supporting people feel and move better. Thank you Tom!
