Will Jowett 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve known Rick for a few years now, and recently needed physio on my back. Went through the NHS and just was not filled with confidence in the slightest. Felt like it was just guess work, and just throwing ideas about, to get me out of the door. I messaged Rick to get a look over, and see what he could do. I had a consultation, and he wrote a detailed report about my issues, and knew exactly where I was having pains, and gave me some different exercises to do - and they were an absolute god send. I’ve been having check ups bi-weekly with him, and every time, he’s professional, yet informal. Relaxed, and very knowledgeable. Immediately felt at ease with him, and I won’t go anywhere else now! Fully recommend him, top bloke, and absolutely phenomenal at his job. I’m like a changed man!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant and would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I Went to see Rick after months of trying alot of sports therapists etc to help with my shoulders to no prevail but one session at Sensei physiotherapy helped so much and actually made my shoulders pain free and also gave me exercises to do at home to help can't thank Rick enough, highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Have been to see Rick for a few issues. He is always very thorough and knowledgeable and puts you at ease. Very professional and easy to talk problems through with. Am my son loves his Dinky Dojos classes too

Jus Greaves 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had seen other physios before and although they did help I was still struggling after back surgery. After seeing Rick a few times the difference was really noticeable. I'd went from thinking I'd have to give up certain things such as mountainbiking etc, and struggling with even things like a kick about with my kid to being able to do these things again with almost no problems at all. I'd recommend 100 percent.

Fantastic experience: highly recommended for both physio and fitness. Classes run throughout the day. For anybody struggling to find time to get fit or train Sensei offers early morning bootcamp classes and high intensity classes on an evening. Fitness level isn't an issue as everybody can go at their own pace. No more shoulder problems after physio too! bonus

Fantastic experience: Being a keen runner and probably a borderline addict to running you do pick up injuries. I have picked up 3 injuries over the last few years. Rick has dealt with all 3 with the upmost professionalism at all times and has diagnosed the injury and treated and gave me exercises to aid recovery and build strength to prevent recurrences. His approach to his treatment is great as he knows and understands the needs of his patients being from a competitive sports background himself.

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend highly enough! The facilities are of a very high standard in both the gym and physio treatment areas. I take part in the HIIT and Bootcamp classes which are always attended by fun, friendly people. Also highly recommend the physio treatment. Having been a long-time sufferer of backpain due to excessive golf practice, I have relied on Sensei to successfully keep me mobile during competition season.

Fantastic experience: Rick is Brilliant. I've been to see many physiotherapists over the years to fix my heavily damaged ankles and all of them said that I would have to accept that they would never fully recover and that I wouldn't be able to do martial arts again. Rick fully fixed them in 3 one hour sessions. Sensei Physiotherapy is the gold standard in physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: What can I say, an absolute wizard, from physiotherapy to acupuncture and everything in between. Rick makes sure he takes the time to understand you and your injury first, this leads to him being able to sort out the problem a lot faster and effectively than other physio’s. Lovely clean and comfortable surroundings make treatment a much more pleasant experience. Thank you for your help and I would highly recommend. Charlie
