The Best
"Absolutely fantastic physio. I’ve been to several physios over the years and I can honestly say none of them come close to John. His knowledge, professionalism and approach to my issues has been outstanding. He fixed me and that’s the best you can hope for."

Knowledgeable Physiotherapist
"John is a very knowledgeable physiotherapist and an all round professional. He has so many contacts from his years in the business and my treatment was excellent. I now know my problems and how to treat them myself"

Excellent, Pleased with Physio Given by John
"Having had knee replacement, not recovering as well as expected I contacted JH Physiotherapy in Yate.
I met John, he took my history and started treatment. I was a shadow of myself in pain, unable to walk without sticks.
After 4 weeks of John's attention to detail, showing and giving treatment that I needed to continue at home before my next physio appt. I began to feel less pain reduce meds and move easier. Still under my consultant after 3 months he could see that the physio was indeed helping. After 4 sessions I was walking without sticks, John advised I could stop sessions and continue at home. I am still having pain whilst awaiting a second knee replacement but have strengthened that knee in readiness for my next op.
Thank you John for your extensive knowledge, dedicated care, treatment, hope and advice given to move forward.
I fully recommend contacting John for physio and am pleased I took the step forward to get treatment after he was recommended to me by a past client."

Fantastic Physiotherapist!
"I ended up hurting my back whilst doing housework. Being an NHS worker my back is under constant strain. I thought this would stop my career plus hugely impact on my daily activities. John was found through website recommendations which was very informative & straight to the point.
John scheduled to see me very quickly.
I was so much better for my following shift. I learned that I sprained my lower back. With simply exercises I could reduce the pain & strengthen my back.
On behalf of my Mama:
"I was recommended by my daughter. I have had knee issues & lower back pain due to having a motorcycle accident over 10+ years. I understood that the physiotherapist after my accident had failed me. Nevertheless with John’s support I have found the pain has significantly reduced and almost gone with some simple exercises, I feel like a new women!
John built up such excellent rapports with us that we will be going back! Fantastic character and made us feel at ease!"

Knee Injury
"I have been to see John several times, and he has always resolved my issue. On this occasion I had a knee injury that was getting progressively worse to the point I could not bend the knee without incurring severe pain. I was really struggling to walk more than a few steps. I was considering cancelling a city break. I went to see John. He explained what the issue was, put my mind at rest regarding ruling out an operation, and set a realistic number of initial sessions.
After three sessions and some directed self help routines, not only could I walk pain free, I walked 25k steps a day in Lisbon"

More Brilliant Service
"I had a fall on Friday, injuring my right arm. I had some abnormal movement in it, which I suspected to be a dislocation of my shoulder. I went to the local Minor Injuries Unit to be told that it was just a "soft tissue injury". I contacted John for some advice & he invited me to come in first thing Sunday morning. Before I arrived my arm once again popped out. John quickly assessed me & actually manipulated the joint back in. He sent me straight to hospital as he said that I would need a possible operation. Unfortunately once again I was rather let down by the NHS staff who said that I didn't have a dislocation, despite what John had advised. Yesterday I had two further episodes & another one before returning to A&E this morning. It resulted in my being referred to the Fracture Clinic tomorrow with an apology for the failure of the clinician to pick up the seriousness of my injury. This shows that John really knows his business & he's kept calling me to check that I am OK."

Knowledge and Experience
"I first visited John five years ago following a bicycle accident. My GP told me it would take six weeks for me to be back on my bike and I was feeling very despondent. After just three visits he had me back on my bike two weeks after that accident.
After that experience whenever I have lower back problems (a recurring condition for me), as soon as I feel the first twinges I get on the phone and John is usually able to see me on the same day. That quick treatment usually sorts me out with the occasional second appointment required.
He has a lovely relaxed manner and puts you at your ease immediately and quickly identifies the problem and what is required. At the end of the appointment he explains what you need to do to help your recovery.
His wealth of knowledge and experience shines through and I would recommend his services without hesitation"

TOP PHYSIO
"I can not rate my experience with John highly enough, a kind and thoughtful gentleman always making sure you feel comfortable and relaxed in his company-he has helped me to my recovery in all sorts of injuries and issues of cartilage, bones to muscle problems- his motto should be - “We don’t have a problem we have solutions”

Excellent Physio Service
"Excellent service from John with my ankle injury. John helped me more than my local minor injury clinic. Within a couple of weeks I was able to walk a lot better! John fit me in very last minute and was very helpful when I needed to change an appointment at quite short notice Thanks John"

Professional and Reassuring
I went to JH Physiotherapy after a fall resulted in a very large and swollen bruise and being told by Drs it would go down on its own. (It didn’t!)
John was my last hope, he was professional and reassuring and after only two sessions you could already see and feel a difference.
I am so grateful he could see me, will use him again if needed and would 100% recommend him to someone else.
Thank you so much.

Excellent Treatment!
After breaking my ankle, I saw John, after 1 session I was able to weight bear again, had lots more movement.
John is a very pleasant, professional person, he provides an excellent range of treatments and gives detailed instructions on exercises to do at home. After a total of 2 sessions I feel a lot more confident about walking normally and the pain has gone and I know I will return to work a lot sooner.
John is a lovely person and offers an affordable, effective service.
I would fully recommend his service

Top Professional Physio
This is a top physio, had an injury, taken to A&E plus spent five days in hospital, further three weeks under own GP, despite the pain in the shoulder they diagnosed nothing in the shoulder. Went to this physio within thirty minutes he diagnosed injuries requiring in depth investigation and sent me for an MRI Scan, next day he phoned to say fractured shoulder plus serious damage to Rotator cuff, took his report to my GP, was immediately referred to shoulder specialist in local hospital.
Pure professionalism by John the physio in diagnosing what the NHS failed to do. My eternal thanks to John for his professionalism and speedy action. This clearly is a top quality physio to who I owe huge thanks. Perhaps they can deal with the pain now!!

Great Physiotherapist
I cannot recommend John highly enough. His years of experience gave me great confidence and his diagnosis and treatment has already put me on my path to recovery.
My problem has manifested over years and his honest opinion about recovery time and what I had to do myself reassured me that he wasn’t just telling me what I wanted to hear but that if I invested time in the exercises he gave me I would eventually put it right.
Also the most interesting man you could ever meet!!
If you would like a physiotherapist that you can trust then this is the man for you!!
