I originally chose Muscle People, because it was close to home and work.  My previous experiences with Physiotherapists haven’t been that great and usually resulted in me not completing the treatment, simply because I never felt comfortable.

However, at last I have found a practice where I do feel comfortable.  The girls on the front desk are always very friendly and helpful, which is obviously very important.

I have seen the same Muscle People Physiotherapist for both lots of treatment I have required and she is great.  She ensures I know and understand what my injury is and what treatment is required.  She is very friendly and I feel I can relax and be comfortable during the treatment.

Overall my observation of your practice is that it is friendly, comfortable and very competent.  I would certainly recommend it to anyone I know who is looking for a good physio.

Well to start things off, I have been seeing my Muscle People Physio for about 9 and 1/2 years now for many different things, and have found the service to be of a very, very high standard. My Physio has dealt with my back, knees, neck and shoulders previously, and for the last 18 months, with my left ankle, which with her expert and professional care, has help me get through day to day with all my pain.

She has been there through the tough times and the good times, through all my depression and has always made me feel positive about myself and given me a positive outlook on life. This is well above her call of duty.

I have found all the staff at the Bishopdale clinic are all above most in their dedication and friendly outlook to all clients that go to the neat, warm and welcoming clinic.

Yours thankfully

I'm sixty three years of age and have been afflicted with excruciating pain in my lower back some months ago and taking Morphine to start with then other strong pain relief to assist the pain when I moved in bed, or getting up from a seated position, or walking around.

My Doctor diagnosed Disc herniation; the two most common forms are the cervical disc herniation and the lumbar disc herniation. The latter is the most common, causing lower back pain (lumbago) and often leg pain as well, in which case it is commonly referred to as sciatica, which I had.

This has happened before over the last few years from time to time and was told by a previous Physio, that nothing much could be done for my problem, I was not satisfied with my treatment and was recommended by a family member  to see “Muscle People Physiotherapy” situated in the YMCA Bishopdale.

What a difference in, Assessment, treatment, and aftercare, I soon got rid of my walking stick, and did not have to take time off work, thank goodness! I was shown how to correctly get out of bed or get up from a seating position whilst suffering the worst of the lower back pain, they had my car seat checked, and it is now in the correct position as recommended by Muscle People Physiotherapy, having the angle of the seat changed. They helped with recommended exercise between treatments which also is quite effective in lessening the pain.

My physio treatment provider has for a number of months now, included Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, more commonly referred to as TENS as application of electrical current through the skin for pain control, ultrasound, massage, manipulation and heat treatment. Muscle People staff have always been friendly, informative and above all professional. We’ve even had a few laughs along the way. I couldn’t ask for better treatment and I would certainly recommend them to anyone.

I have been to Muscle People now on three occasions and each time I have received excellent service! The receptionist at the front desk is polite, courteous and most helpful. My treatment provider is an excellent physiotherapist and was most helpful in getting me back in to good shape. I have no problems recommending this clinic to anyone with muscle trouble.
