Testimonials

I was referred to Farah after the onset of severe sciatica. Before any treatment took place she took time to understand not only how the symptoms started but also my history and little bit about my day to day lifestyle. Throughout the treatments I find Farah’s manner very professional as she explains what she is doing and why, whilst still being able to make me laugh (sometimes in spite of the pain!!) I have already recommended Farah and will continue to do so as she has helped my rehabilitation tremendously.

Sarb Chahal

I have visited Farah many times with various aches and pains. She always makes me feel comfortable and is very kind. She listens and understands even when I am not explaining myself clearly. Her treatment is fantastic, and I always feel much better after having a session with her. She is reasonably priced, and I cannot recommend her enough. Give her a try in her new modern treatment room.

Michelle

Farah is a very professional, knowledgeable and personable physiotherapist. She has a warm & friendly persona; and during my sessions I received fantastic treatment and sound advice on how to treat injuries moving forward. I highly recommend Farah.

Patricia

I have been seeing Farah for a few months now for some problems with my back and shoulders that I've had since having children. I honestly can't recommend her enough, she's friendly, professional and puts you at ease straight away. I get so much more from my sessions than I expected and I really wish I'd done it sooner!
