Mac Physio & Pilates - Stourbridge

Torn knee ligaments
I was aware of Mac Physio as Martin had treated my wife with physio following her back operation and was very positive about her experience so I had no hesitation in contacting the practice.

On arrival I was very impressed with the facilities.

My first meeting with Martin was also very positive and we discussed my consultants letter following an MRI

My diagnosis was a complete tear of the ACL and medial meniscal with the consultant not keen to operate and suggested physio.

Martin discussed the in detail the injury, explained what the tendons do and how physio can support my recovery,

We agreed an outcome goal and I understood this was not going to be a quick fix, Martin gave me a series of exercises to complete and helpfully these were also shared by email as a series of videos to refer back to.

Over the coming weeks I saw Martin each week then pushed out the frequency of visits but increased the number of exercises and intensity.

Martin also suggested massages on my knee as the fluid was not moving particularly quickly, over the next few months both Lewis and Sophie completed massages on the knee and there was visible differences over the weeks in the swelling and fluid subsiding which in turn aided my movement.

At an appropriate Martin also suggested gym work to strengthen the quads, hamstrings and calf muscles which alongside the physio exercises has given me an outcome that is very positive.

Overall my treatment was around 10 months and I would highly recommend this practice

I have had recurring lower back, hip and leg pain for some years. A few months ago I had severe pain in my back, hips and down one leg, my GP said it was sciatica. A friend recommended Mac Physio, I had an initial assessment and a couple of follow up sessions with Sophie, then had a block of sessions with Nikki. Both Sophie and. Nikki are very professional, helpful and understanding, they made me feel at ease and have improved my mobility considerably. I will continue my exercises at home; I highly recommend the Mac Physio team.

I’ve been struggling with a knee injury and seeing MAC Physio for three months now. They’re so patient and understanding, willing to listen and problem solve. I’m making progress with them and look forward to my visits because some aspect or further complication from my injury gets resolved or improved in some way. It’s worth every penny!

Absolutely fantastic and thoroughly professional. I had severe acute pain in my shoulder and upper back, so much so it was impacting my daily work as a dentist, which prompted me to book in- a very straightforward process online- and was seen by the lovely physio Sophie in the very smart premises. She was able to work out what the problem was and used hands on physio to help alongside advising a range of exercises that she went through with me on the day, I was also sent a link with the exercises with videos to follow at home. The improvement was immediate and I had follow up sessions, with again hands on therapy and additional strengthening exercises as I improved. I am completely pain free now and about to start regular Pilates classes with the team to ensure I don’t deteriorate again having had a super 1 to 1 session with Pilates instructor Kiri on the mat and reformer. Ever so grateful to Sophie for all her hard work and expertise getting me back to normal; I know if it creeps back I can book again for a one off follow up hands on session, as and when it’s needed. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Fantastic. I've been seeing Martin, following a shoulder operation. After only four weeks, I am really seeing and feeling the benefits. My range of motion is good, as is my strength and it is improving and largley painfree. Having had the same operation, eight years ago, I cannot fault Martin's approach. I feel confident that over the coming months my shoulder will return to full function.

Sophia is an excellent physio. Have seen her for 3 separate injuries and have always received a professional, helpful and caring service. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and have made several recommendations.

I have attended both mat and reformer pilates with Kiri and she is amazing. Kiri makes you feel so welcome and it's a lovely atmosphere in the sessions. Kiri is so good at explaining the exercise and putting it into simple terms making the class easy to follow.

Highly recommend attending Kiri's Pilates sessions. 🎉

Sophia Rose was exactly what I was looking for in a Physio - reassuring, kind, attentive and knowledgeable. After struggling with a reccuring knee problem she gave me some exercises that first brought the swelling down to increase movement and then she gave me strengthening exercises to build it up which were just the right level for me to maintain on a regular basis without making my knee worse. Thanks to this I’ve been able to improve on my fitness and bring the function back into my knee while waiting for MRI results. When the results did come in Sophia was able to discuss in great detail what had happened and the implications going forward. It’s been a great comfort to have this regular support during what has been a challenging time for me, and I recommend her and Mac Physio thoroughly.
