It’s a must for those looking for real progression in their performance.

I went to Next Level Physiotherapy after pulling my hamstring at the gym. John was very attentive & professional. He was able to give me great insight & understanding of my injury and a super plan to rehabilitate my muscle back to my goal of being able to train with weights again. My leg is fully recovered now and I am so happy to be back to my regular exercise routine completely pain free and confident that my leg has healed to its fullest potential. I would highly recommend Next Level Physiotherapy.

Had a persistent shoulder injury that caused significant pain. Went to John, he identified the problem and from the first appointment I could feel the improvement in my shoulder. Now, after being put on a programme by John to build flexibility and strength in my shoulder, my shoulder is in great condition. If I ever require physio in the future, no doubt I will be going back to John. Couldn’t recommend John more!
