Found Max online after suffering a lower back injury in the gym, finding a mobile physio was essential as I was struggling with mobility. His advice and guidance were extremely helpful, within a few days of following his exercise plan I’m already feeling a huge improvement. Excellent service all round, and a very nice person too!

Max has done wonders for my Mum. He has helped her to become more mobile from being completey bedbound for several months. He has a positive outlook and goes at the pace that Mum needs. He demonstrates a high level of professionalism and compassion at all times and knows when to push Mum and when to switch up the exercises if she is having a bad day.

Would definitely recommend Max. I’d been struggling with my back for a while and he was really helpful from the first appointment. He explained what he thought was going on in a way that actually made sense and gave me a few exercises to work on between visits. I’m feeling so much better now and much more confident getting back to normal. Max is really friendly and easy to get on with, and having him come to the house made everything so much easier. Really happy with the whole experience.

I have visited a few physiotherapist's in Birmingham before, but it always seemed like they did not really care to listen to what was wrong with me; just a few exercises, and that was it. But with Max, everything was totally different; for once, someone actually listened to me and figured out what is the problem with me, and not just the usual stuff. He was very approachable as well. Great Job pal, Thanks again!

Max has a really lovely manner about him. He is calm, reassuring and extremely patient, whilst also being very knowledgeable. Having someone come into your home can feel quite personal, but he makes you feel completely comfortable. I would have no hesitation recommending

Great physio and really easy to talk to. You can tell Max actually enjoys helping people and cares about what he does. After having a pretty frustrating experience trying to get help through the NHS, the difference was night and day. I felt properly listened to and came away actually understanding what was going on and what I could do about it. Would definitely recommend him.

Max is a total god send. My mum is in her seventies, has been struggling with knee and muscle weakness from age and lack of strength. We have been working with Max for about two months and each week, my mum gets stronger and stronger. Max has very patient and easy manner, instructions are clear and encouraging. He tailors the plan as the weeks go on and I’m so relieved to be able to have found someone to help my mum become more mobile.

Max is highly professional, knowledgeable, and very good at what he does. Both my family have noticed significant improvement in their symptoms following his treatment, and I really appreciate the care and attention he gives to his clients. He also has an excellent ability to build a positive connection with people, which makes interactions feel comfortable and welcoming. He is consistently punctual, friendly, flexible, and considerate. He also provides advance notice whenever there are any changes or delays, which I really appreciate. On one occasion, I had an emergency that was unrelated to him, but he was very helpful and supportive during the situation. He even made sure to inform his next client that he would be running late. I thought this demonstrated a great deal of professionalism, consideration, and genuine care for others. Overall, I have found Max to be an excellent physiotherapist who combines strong professional skills with great communication and interpersonal qualities. His commitment to his clients and the way he builds trust and connection really stand out.

FAQs
Good to know before you book
We know arranging physiotherapy can come with a few questions, especially when you’re organising care for someone else. Here are some of the things we’re most often asked.
What happens at the first appointment?
We start by getting to know you, understanding your concerns and assessing your movement, strength and mobility where appropriate. We’ll explain what we find, discuss a plan and begin treatment during the same visit where suitable. We’ll also provide exercises and advice to help between appointments.
How long does an appointment last?
Initial assessments and standard follow-up appointments each last 60 minutes. This gives us time to assess, treat and discuss your progress without rushing.
Do I need anything ready before you arrive?
A little clear space and a suitable chair or bed is usually all we need. We’ll bring the equipment required for your appointment and let you know beforehand if there’s anything specific to prepare.
Can I arrange physiotherapy for a parent or relative?
Absolutely. We regularly work with families arranging physiotherapy for loved ones, whether they live independently or in a care home. We can discuss their needs with you, coordinate appointments and keep you updated where appropriate and with their consent.
Do you visit people in care homes?
Yes. We regularly provide physiotherapy in care homes, including support with mobility, strength, balance and rehabilitation after illness or a hospital stay. We’re happy to coordinate directly with care home staff to make arrangements as straightforward as possible.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can contact us directly to arrange private physiotherapy without a referral. If we feel your symptoms or circumstances would benefit from further medical assessment, we’ll explain this and advise you on the appropriate next steps.
Can I use private health insurance?
Appointments are self-pay, so payment is made directly to us. We can provide receipts for you to submit to your insurer if your policy covers treatment on a reimbursement basis. We recommend checking with your provider before booking.
Let’s talk about how we can help.
