Otto Physiotherapy

After about three years of dealing with foot pain that had stopped me running and caused me daily pain when walking I decided it was time to give physio a go. Michael was interested in treating the cause of the pain (and not just the pain itself) by making adjustments to the way I moved and it wasn't long until I was not only walking pain free, but running again.

I suffered an ACJ disruption in my left shoulder after coming off my mountain bike. I had 4 sessions in the end initially working on removing the pain before starting rehab. Each session was really helpful and I'm glad I came here for help.

Having found that my movement was increasingly becoming restricted and causing me serious pain to even stand and to lie down I went to see Michael. He not only addressed my problems with my knees and hips but went right back to the heart of the issue exposing how everything was linked. Michael is very approachable and calm helping me to go back to basics from walking the right way to opening up my approach to all of my exercise. I can carry on my life in the way I was afraid I had lost! I am feeling no pain and now know how to tackle any issues in my physical recovery in the future. Thank you!

After suffering with 2 groin strains for around 10 months, I decided to book an appointment with Mike. Im so pleased that I went to see him. He restored my confidence and I feel well on my way to a sport I thought Id never play again. He addressed some underlying issues like posture, technique and sleeping which really changed the way I perceived my injuries. Would definitely recommend!!

Michael was recommended to me by a friend and having had physio before, as well as numerous other kinds of treatment, I was a bit sceptical; expecting to be sent away with the usual sheet of A4 with a load of exercises to do that I wouldn't have time for!! But after 4 sessions, to treat lower back pain and sciatic nerve pain, I feel so much better. Mike has given me strategies to manage the pain when it comes, although I have to say, I have been virtually pain free in these 4 weeks of treatment. But I feel better equipped to deal with the pain, if and when it returns. Mike has helped me make really simple changes to the way I stand, walk and breathe. He has also helped me to relax my body more easily and perhaps most importantly for me, to understand the 'pain cycle' more fully. I would definitely recommend Mike and I will be going straight back to him if I need a refresher course in the future!
