Sports Injuries

I cannot rate Relive Physiotherapy Clinic highly enough. After a short run which left me with knee pain and the London marathon to run in 2 months, I desperately searched google for a physio. The amount of 5* reviews for Relive were enough for me to send an enquiry. Within 30 minutes, Raj was on the phone and I was in for a consultation the next day! Mohana was my physio and instead of the typical a4 paper exercises provided by other services, provided me manageable, broken down exercises which I could easily fit into my busy days. Mohana had me laughing through the pain and was always reassuring me. Along with regular visits, manipulation, strapping and ultrasound, Mohana got me across the line. I hobbled in the day after the marathon with aches and pains all over and after 45 minutes came out feeling 100% with no pain. From initial contact, the treatment, reception staff and walking out after the marathon, Relive is now my go to.

Thank you to Raj for his expert treatment and support. His use of Shock Wave therapy has got me back to my sport much quicker than I had expected. I have been a regular at Relive for a number of years and am always very grateful for his expert treatment and guidance.

Over the past year Raj has been my go-to person with a number of injuries. From back spasms, to a badly sprained ankle and finally a lump on my knee, Raj was able to explain exactly what the issues were and get me back out and running again in no time. Raj is a physio who genuinely cares for you and wants to make your life better, and in doing so provides a great service. I recommend anyone who has any physical ailment to see him - you won't regret it!

I was referred to Raj by my tennis coach to sort out a torn meniscus in my knee. I was worried I might need surgery, but Raj worked out a recovery plan, and gave me advice on exercises and rehabilitation to repair the injury and get the strength back in my knee. It's taken about 8 weeks or so, but I've stuck to the plan and hope to ease back to tennis lessons later this week. Raj is very knowledgeable, and takes time to understand the injury, your medical/sport history, and works with you to get you back to where you can be. Would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic practice, without treatment from Mohana I would never have achieved my goal of completing the London Marathon! Big thank you to Raj, Mohana, Ian and all at Relive Physiotherapy!

I had a shoulder injury while playing cricket and made an appointment with Relive Physiotherapy clinic. I am in a position where I was unable to lift my arm without anyone support. Shivani is the Physio therapist whom I was referred to. After 10 sessions, I was totally fit and I was able to rotate my shoulder 360 degree without any pain. She was friendly, nice and understood my pain and she diagnosed my pain. I have received excellent care and guidance from Shivani on the treament and she is excelling in curing pain. I would higly recomment Shivani from Relive Physiotherpayy clinic. Thanks Raj and Shivani :)

I picked-up a back injury playing golf and was in considerable pain. I contacted Relive Physiotherapy via my Private Health provider and Sophie was able to secure an appointment for my initial assessment followed by treatment within a few days. Raj is very thorough and takes time to explain the issue in great detail and provide an overview of the treatment plan. During the treatment, I was given exercises to perform to help recovery and relieve pain. After 4 treatments I am now pain free and back playing golf. Based on my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Relive Physiotherapy, who I feel provided a truly 5 star service.

I was guided through a meniscus/knee injury by Raj and was really happy with the treatment I received at Relieve Physiotherapy. They were extremely flexible with time so I could receive treatment after work and I felt that Raj was genuinely invested in my recovery.

Referred to Relive after experiencing pain in groin and hip from running which later spread to my lower back. Had a great experience with Raj. He was quick to pinpoint the issue, explaining throughout what was going on and helping me back on the path to recovery. Would definitely recommend (and have done to some friends already 😊)

My daughter saw Raj with a back injury which is now much improved after her treatment with Relive. She feels confident to throw the javelin again and will compete again soon. Thank you so much for your help treatment and encouraging support . She’s been doing her S&C squats and stretches ! Highly recommend Raj who is friendly, professional and knowledgeable .

Having suffered from niggly running injuries for many years, the team at Relive Physiotherapy were recommended to me by many previous happy clients. Raj immediately assessed and diagnosed my problem, always explaining the rationale behind his assessment and actions. I was constantly impressed by his knowledge and expertise, and there is no doubt his aptitude as a physiotherapist ensured my injury was resolved within weeks. Once the problem was resolved, Raj honestly informed me that there was no further need for appointments with him. Sophie (clinical administrator) always provides a warm welcome and makes sure you are comfortable before and after your appointment. I cannot recommend the team at Relive Physiotherapy enough, if you have any problems with your joints, muscles, soft tissues- this is the place to help you!

I have, today, completed my treatment for a painful shoulder. From beginning to end I felt completely in safe hands with Raj my therapist. He treated me with curtesy and professionalism throughout my treatments. The results are that I can now return to golf, pain free with the knowledge that this service is safe, reliable and above all’person and injury centered’ . Very happy.

My daughter (11 yrs) had a sports injury (jumpers knee) with pain and limited movement ability when we first encountered Relieve Physiotherapy who accepted our appointment request in a couple of days whereas other places we called didn’t book us earlier than 3 weeks! Raj had fantastic communication with my daughter and treated her knee in five sessions so she is back to her active sports life and her knee is even better than before. Thank you Raj!

Following some great work by Mohana, I’m walking well again after a painful period of Plantar Fasciitis. She was able to explain the whole treatment process and offered some excellent advice to keep me on my toes! I’d visited Relive previously when Raj worked wonders with my shoulder injury, and knew they would be able to sort me out again. Thanks again… I would recommend them highly - a Top Team!

Raj has helped me consistently with various ailments: back pain, muscle and ankle injuries. Not only does he alleviate these issues, he explains and demonstrates what has caused them and how the treatment impacts them, giving me a better understanding of my injuries. He is very accommodating, always able to give me a session to fit in with my busy work schedule. I can confidently recommend Raj and will definitely use Relieve Physiotherapy again for any future sporting injuries or muscular pain.

Great location. Raj is a brilliant Physio and an even better person. Yes guided me back from post op ACDF surgery with a lot of stiffness and pain to being able to swing a golf club at 117+mph within 6 weeks. I'm extremely happy and wouldn't go to anyone else. Brilliant!

I have seen Raj twice now for running related injuries. Both times he was able to quickly identify the issue and give me exercises and stretches to resolve them. The first time it meant I could still run the Chester half marathon even though the injury was just 2 weeks before the event. He is highly experienced and has a lovely, friendly manner. Highly recommended.

I went to Relive Physiotherapy following a really painful running injury to my glute, which was not only stopping me from running, but also making walking extremely painful in the early stages. Raj very quickly diagnosed this as a gluteal tendinopathy and gave me a series of progressive exercises and massages to alleviate the pain. After just 1 or 2 sessions all my pain day-to-day had completely disappeared and after 5 sessions I am now back to running pain free! Amazing service and I would thoroughly recommend!

This is a very belated review but very deserving. I would fully recommend Raj and this clinic. I went with a running injury (plantar fasciitis) following a half marathon where I had pain walking and was unable to run. After looking into different physio clinics this stood out and I wasn't wrong. I am now back running with a 10k next week. Raj was great, he thoroughly explained what was happening and avoided medical terminology. He is very professional, experienced and passionate in what he does and will go the extra mile to help resolve the problem. He even knew when I hadn't done my home exercises. If you are debating it, get an initial appointment booked in or give Raj a call, you won't regret it.

Great service from Raj. Really went above and beyond to get to the bottom of my achilles tendon condition. Felt like he was genuinely interested in investigating the issue and addressed it promptly and efficiently. Keep up the great work.

Raj has been fantastic helping me rehabilitate my calf following a tear and getting me back running again! Cannot thank him and the team at Relive enough!

My 8 year old football mad daughter has received treatment at Relive for an Achilles tendon injury and I would highly recommend Raj. He was most welcoming and great with children. Raj explained what he was doing at each stage of treatment, step by step, using easy to understand terminology. Thank you!

I had a jumpers knee condition. I had a consultation with Dr. Raj, my problem was explained in a detailed manner but in simple terms. He helped me get over the pain in matter of weeks.. he taught me loading techniques which can act as pain relief , Coached me with exercises which would strengthen my muscle group to reduce strain on my knee. Now I’m able to resume my normal sports without any pain. There were only sessions which were just needed for the treatment. I would highly recommend this place for anyone with sports injuries.

Raj helped me through a challenge with my hip and suggested I refer to a consultant. That resulted in needing surgery and his support pre and post surgery has been brilliant. I have had the benefit of several sessions with Raj that has allowed me to recover to a normal life and return to sport. Thanks for all your help.

I went to Raj with a very bad calf/ knee injury. He diagnosed the calf was torn in two places. I found Raj to be very knowledgeable and highly professional in my several visits to him. He works long hours to accommodate his customers. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone requiring physiotherapist support.

Just back from my final treatment with Raj. I had been suffering with a very sore knee & beginning to consider surgery. After 8 treatment sessions with Raj I am pain free and looking forward to completing a marathon distance walk in September.

Raj fitted me in at short notice for an assessment of a knee issue which had been gradually getting worse. He kept me running and cycling during treatment which was great. I'm almost 100% now. Will keep up the recommended exercises which I'm sure will prevent a recurrence.

Fantastic experience with Raj, developed a hip problem a few weeks ahead of riding in the Alps. The issue was located and after a few weeks of treatment and home exercises I was good to go. Definitely recommended.

I would highly recommend Relive Physiotherapy. Raj has been treating my knee injury for several months and it is significantly improving. He is highly knowledgeable and does a great job of diagnosing the problem and then explaining how every exercise or treatment is linked to improving the injury.

I have recently finished my rehabilitation physiotherapy with Raj following ACL reconstruction surgery. My experience with Raj has been brilliant, I could not believe how quickly I progressed and every stage was explained to me clearly... I would highly recommend Relive Physiotherapy.

When you are competing in your chosen sport at the highest level, you need to know that you’re in safe hands. I have complete faith in Raj. If it wasn’t for his physiotherapy and rehabilitation treatments, through a number of injuries I wouldn’t be where I am today.

Been seeing raj for about four weeks for Achilles tendonitis and knee pain, with the treatment and exercises can start to see an improvement, hopefully on road to recovery!!! Would definitely recommend raj and Sophie, a great team and very helpful.

I had Plantafaciatis for several months with absolutely no improvement... After a few weeks of seeing Raj there was a marked improvement. The exercises and treatments he suggested showed improvement within a couple of weeks. Now... I've managed to get back to running.

Raj was able to help me recover from my post ACL operation with top-quality treatment. Very flexible appointments with a friendly welcoming environment. Highly recommend Relive Physiotherapy for any physiotherapy treatment you need.

Having suffered knee pain for some months whilst engaging in couch to 5k and after completing an 80 mile hike from Fort William to Inverness Raj helped ease the discomfort and gave me a range of exercises to strengthen the knee area. 3 consultations later and I am on the mend. Thank You Sir✊

Raj has the perfect bedside manner. Been treated for a number of sports related injuries and Raj has never failed to get me back on my feet. Big thumbs up from me.

Mohana treated my knee pain for last 3/4 months. When I first started walking was painful, progress was slow but I’m back running now. 100% would recommend anyone experiencing knee pain.

I recently suffered a knee injury skiing and Mohana and her team at Relive have been amazing - providing me with a swift diagnosis and treatment plan that has ensured a full recovery. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Pleased with the service. Very attentive and thorough. Has a quick response after completing the online form and a thorough conversation so as I was placed with the most appropriate therapist for my injury. Every session I have had Mohana has explained everything and helped me get back to running. Would highly recommend

Went for my left knee, was a great experience and Mohana looked after me the whole way. From bearly being able to walk to going back to gym and sports was an amazing. Highly recommend

I was in pain going upstairs and also exercising at the gym. I thought this is the start of restricted mobility and old age. I chose Relive Physiotherapy because of the reviews. So glad I did. I had 7 sessions with Mohana and she had me ready to complete our planned trek up Mt Kinabalu (4095m). Physio is not a 'walk in the park' but I am happy to recommend Mohana and will go back to her in future to keep this body moving. Thank you the holiday would have been unachievable without the treatment.

After developing a problem with my knee a few months ago I was referred to Relive Physiotherapy for treatment. Mohana assessed the injury, identified it as meniscus damage and immediately started me on a course of physio plus recommended gentle exercises to help heal and strengthen the knee. I was told it can take a long time to heal so I followed her instructions to the letter as I built up the exercises and work over time. Within a month or so I had gained around 30 degrees of movement in the knee, bringing it line with the other. Thankfully the pain, stiffness and hobbling has now gone and I can build up my walking and cycling again. I can’t recommend Relive Physio highly enough. The team are all very friendly and helpful and Mohana certainly has magic hands, she has been absolutely brilliant. Thank you!

Excellent treatment by Mohana for it band injury. Would definitely recommend.

I first visited Relive Physiotherapy Clinic as I was unable to walk or run without pain. I had issues with my IT band, the tendon below my knee and meniscus. Mohanna was absolutely amazing and provided brilliant treatment and advice. She was very encouraging and reassured me that the treatment would work. I am now able to walk and run completely pain free. I am aiming to complete a half marathon in the next month. I would definitely recommend this clinic!

I came across Relive Physiotherapy when I had pain in my knee and I was treated by Mohana. With the Bronze package, I had a total of 7 sessions plus a free massage. By the final treatment, my left knee was pain free and I was able to perform at my best for the Chester marathon. I highly recommend this place for anyone who needs treatment for their own physical well being!

I went to see Mohanna with a multitude of painful problems, some that I had had for quite a while. She performed a thorough first assessment and has then carried out a range of treatments that has me waking up pain free and able to get back to all my favourite activities including running, hiking and triathlons. Friendly, accommodating and skilled at her job. Will recommend Relive physio and Mohanna to anyone who needs their back, knees, hips, neck or shoulders ( and everything else inbetween) helped! Thank you 😊 jo

I’ve had the best physio experience with Mohanna! Came to her with a bad shoulder injury and needed it fixed for a competition. She was fantastic and so knowledgeable and had me competition ready in two weeks!! Could not recommend a better team

I rolled my ankle badly 10 months ago. I saw a previous physiotherapist and did all of the exercises asked of me but it did not heal.After 2 months with Shivani, my ankle is almost as good as new!I'd recommend them to anyone wanting to get up and running as quick as possible. Just be prepared to put in the work, it's well worth the results!

It’s not all 5 star reviews for nothing. I’d had pain with my rotator cuff for months and decided I needed to get it sorted. 3 weeks in and sessions still left I’m back to my routine. Shivani has been fantastic and as long as you’re willing to listen, put the graft in and admit you have to start with the basics to get better it actually gets better quicker. I spend months in pain and it’s only taken a few weeks to see a big difference. Having pain that stops you is so frustrating and I feel better mentally now as well as physically. Thank you 🙏

I strained my neck playing basketball, which caused a lot of pain whenever I ate, drove, or even tried to sleep. After just one physio session with Shivani, the pain was completely gone! At first I thought I might need 3 to 4 sessions for me to get better. I'm now back on the court and enjoying my game as usual. Shivani was incredibly friendly and her approach made me feel very comfortable and reassured throughout the session. She's truly a miracle worker – thank thank you so much!

Absolutely fantastic service and treatment. As much as I was frustrated to be injured I looked forward to my sessions with Shivani, she was brilliant. All the pain in my ankle is gone and she has given me the tools to prevent it happening in the future! 10/10

Shivani has been excellent !!! Had hip pain through running but was able to run the Chester half marathon. Thanks Shivani !

I came into clinic, barely able to walk with an achilles injury. Shivani explained the treatment options available. Three weeks later and I am walking pain free. Shivani is such a lovely person too. Thank you.

Shivani was excellent with my sports injury, both in terms of the work that she did with me in the clinic, and then explaining and showing me the exercises so that I could get better quickly. She has both a professional and friendly manner. I would heartily recommend her to anyone with a leg injury.

Superb! So happy that Shivani has sorted my IT band problem. Really excellent all round! (Owner reply mentions cycling tour)

My son plays a lot of football and was having problems with his ankles. Throughout his visits from diagnosis, treatment and advice, Relive physiotherapy have been amazing. A special thank you to Niya, so friendly, professional and knowledgeable. All the staff are great and so accommodating when arranging appointments. My son is now back fully fit and playing football again armed with exercises and stretches to help. Can highly recommend.

I have visited Niya for tennis elbow for several months. What I particularly liked was how she explained the mechanics of the affected areas. She talked me through my condition and the healing process which was great for managing my expectations. Niya treated me during sessions and also provided strength exercises for me to carry out at home. These proved invaluable in my recovery process. Niya is personable and professional with a warm demeanour. I would definitely recommend.

I can't recommend Niya enough! She helped me recover from a hamstring and knee injury and the results have been fantastic. From the very first session, I felt confident in her expertise and care. She took the time to thoroughly assess my injury and developed a personalised treatment plan that really worked for me. Niya is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, making each session productive and encouraging. Thanks to her, I'm back to doing the activities I love, pain-free and stronger than ever. If you're looking for a physiotherapist who genuinely cares and delivers great results, Niya is the one!"

I have been having shockwave treatment for achilles heal. Both Ulfah and Niya have proved to be very professional and pleasant physiotherapists. I would highlight recommended visiting Relive Physiotherapy Clinic.

Came as a recommendation from my running partner when one of our runs was cut short so to an Achilles injury. …More (The rest of the truncated review is in the Owner Response)

I was experiencing pain in my calf and thigh muscels in my legs and lower back pain when running and walking. As a runner this was resulting in stopping me from running. I had an MRI examination which failed to determine the cause of pain. However, a physiotheraphy examination at Relive Physiotheraphy diagnosed problems in my lower back and leg muscles. Having had a course of physiotheraphy with them I am now runniing with out pain and getting back to my previous running ability. I would strongly recommend Relive Physiotherapy for anyone suffering with muscular pain in the back and legs.

Cannot recommend highly enough. Immediate response to online email (sent on a Sunday afternoon!) and seen within 24 hours. Subsequent treatments have been excellent - very accommodating with appointments to fit my busy work commitments. Had 4 treatments and have successfully resolved an acute shoulder injury and a long standing achilles issue. Very professional, knowledgable with a really lovely encouraging manner. Great advice re stretching. Head and shoulders above any other physio I’ve ever seen. A real expert.

This practice was referred to us by the insurance company when my daughter suffered with her Achilles. The treatment provided was excellent and allowed my daughter to go back to athletics training. Very professional and friendly with good follow up service. Would recommend.

I have just finished a course of treatment with Raj at Relive. I had a variety of musculoskeletal-issues that had developed over time. Raj broke down the ingredients of the problem and went through a treatment regime which has sorted all my issues. Raj is highly knowledgable, experienced and totally patient focused. And his team come across as most welcoming and very well organised. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Relive. I also extend a big thank you to Raj and his team for making my visits such a pleasurable experience and, above all, for such a successful outcome.

This is a really great Physio place and the treatment is top notch. I have seen a fair few of the team and everyone is so friendly. Iain on reception is fab too. There is a little book in reception where customers can leave comments and it’s literally bursting with positive comments and success stories. Well worth a read and a contribution if you ever go!
