What our patients say about Sophie

Sophie has gone above and beyond for me over the last few months. Not only did she help me improve my strength and lessen my many aches and pains, she has also given me the confidence and motivation to go back to the gym just a few months after giving birth. I can’t thank her enough for the amazing treatment and her holistic approach to physiotherapy. No question or ask of mine stayed unanswered. I can’t recommend her enough. (Petra Cocker)

Just completed several sessions at physis with Sophie , excellent and thorough service , Sophie took the time to listen to my problems and subsequently organised me a programme of excerise and also equipped me with the knowledge to improve my condition . Overall a professional and friendly approach from the team at physis and only two minutes walk from Haymarket station (Ian Rigby)

I was referred to Sophie at Physis from my health insurance re a new episode of back pain . Always professional , empathetic , respectful ,welcoming , with excellent communication skills , which does build confidence in an older client like myself . A small reassuring space , relaxing helpful reception , appointments to suit , the service I have experienced has been excellent .All the recommended exercises are e mailed with visuals , and video demonstrations . My problem has been resolved with exercises and advice recommended by Sophie , but also her motivational input to continue and improve and maintain my health ! Thank you Physis , I would recommend your service as first class , when often people will say “oh referred to physio they only give you exercises “ they really do get results ! Exercise with a meaning .!(Glynis Hinchcliffe)
