Would definitely recommend John and those at Next Level Physiotherapy, had a very positive experience.

I was in and out of playing soccer with my local team injured with the same issue for about 15 months in total.

After getting an MRI (tendonosis of right knee) and treatment with another physio, I went back only to get injured again.

John gave me a detailed exercise plan to follow along with treatment and great advice on how to manage it and slowly get back to playing.

Back now about 1 month thanks to John and couldn’t thank him or recommend him enough.

Couldn’t recommend John more. Really competent physiotherapist he found the cause of the issue I was having and sorted it quickly. Very comfortable surroundings and parking nearby.
