Mac Physiotherapy & Pilates

Started with Martin at MAC Physio in March 2023 after poor NHS physiotherapy was given to me following an ACL reconstruction. I came to Martin with a swollen knee full of fluid and unable to bend. Martin was genuine and realistic with me the whole way through and gave me a timeline of getting back into Martial Arts by Nov 2023. I have just been given the green light to go back into Martial Arts in 4 weeks (Nov 2023), something that seemed impossible to me months ago. Highly recommend MAC and Martin and very thankful and appreciative for his expertise and honesty.

I attended Annie's post-natal Pilates course. It helped tremendously with my "recovery" following my twin pregnancy and c-section. Having twin babies made me thought I was strong but Annie guided me through gentle exercises to help me re-train my muscles so I was using them properly. The exercises are adapted to your individual ability and if your baby refuses to be distracted by Annie's toys and playmats then she'll help you through the moves with baby in your arms. My abdominal strength and tone improved considerably as a result of this course…. Helping my confidence too!

Annie is a super teacher and the classes are a good size as she is able to provide one to one help when it's needed to ensure you're doing it right.

Saw Martin at Mac Physiotherapy having twice been misdiagnosed on NHS. Gave really helpful insight into what was likely to be wrong and quickly made recommendations and opened doors to other professionals to confirm his prognosis. Having been frustrated with progress for a month, seeing Martin was really worthwhile for me and set me on the road to recovery, all be it now back with the NHS. I would highly recommend Mac Physiotherapy to any one else, who like me, has had a diagnosis that they have doubt and little confidence in.

First ever visit to a Physiotherapist and what a top class service and support I received. I didn't think I would ever be able to squat again but Martin made this possible with his physio and guidance. Would 100% recommend!

I have been using MAC physio and Pilates now for a few month, after having a serious fall and damaging my shoulder at work, first I tried using NHS physios but they didn't seem to think I had an injury, after one session with Marty, he explained what my injury was and adviced me to get an MRI scan, whilst waiting for my scan, I chose to have a few more session to see if it would improve, I can honesty say my shoulder has improved significantly, Marty is very friendly and. clearly knows his job, wouldn't waste my time or money with anyone else, great prices for a professional service.

My treatment is ongoing at present for an achilles tendon injury. Martin had treated me from the beginning, giving me excellent advice, help and realistic goals. Both Annie and Martin are really great at what they do, I would recommend MAC everytime!

I found Annie very professional. And the exercises and help she has given me regarding my injury has been very beneficial.

Went with pain in my foot which turned out to be the start of plantar fasciitis quickly identified the cause with some simple exercises my problem was sorted. Well worth the money.

Have been seeing Martin for a while with a knee injury. He has diagnosed the problem and provided me with a programme to help with my recovery. In the meantime he has been strapping my knee to enable me to continue running. In fact without Martin's help I would not have been able to complete my second half marathon last weekend. My husband has also been seeing Martin; also with a knee problem but completely different to mine. Again, a programme has been provided and every time he sees Martin, the pain relief is measurable. A big thank you for all you have done for both of us. Louise and Chris.

Somehow I had done my ankle in, through exercise more 'n' likely, and they say that **** is good for ya! And it permanently felt like like there was something pullin around the outside bone, upon booking an appointment with mac physio, I met marty, a genuinely nice fella to say the least, on checkin out said ankle and telling me about tendon soup (sounds delish! ) he then performed some kind of dark arts (citation needed) upon my ankle, and then give me a bunch of exercises to perform at home! It got worse as I was doing them exercises, and marty was fast dropping off my xmas card list, but then it started improving loads, it no longer hurts in day to day situations like walking or driving, and even doing my exercises it only twinges every now and again, a massive improvement on the hobbling eejit that walked into mac physio. I wouldn't hesitate to use 'em again, and recommend them too! .
