Fantastic experience: I went to Craig with a suspected stress fracture in my hip. I was having severe pain everyday and struggling even to walk without pain.

It is not about being OK for everyday activities, it is about getting fit and strong enough for sport, whatever level you do it at.

I never found difficulty getting an appointment and even had one online when I was abroad to check on my progress. Well done, Macfarlane Physios!

Fantastic experience: Louise at the physios was a miracle worker! I’d been in complete agony for about 2 weeks with pain in my neck/shoulder. I had a 45 min session with her and she gave me exercises to do at home. The next day I was delighted that it felt much better and 2 days later it’s gone!!!! No more pain killers, agony to stand up and stinking of deep heat thank you Louise ❤️

Fantastic experience: I've had a couple of appointments with Louise Dunlop at MacFarlane Physio - she is excellent. She does a thorough investigation into what treatment is required and executes with professionalism. I thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Went in with a slipped disc and saw Louise. Couldn't rate highly enough. Very honest and upfront and provided a really helpful and realistic recovery plan with an aim to getting better than when I first went in.

Fantastic experience: After recovering from sciatica in January ’25 I moved over to Eve Shepherd, Sports Therapist, for some resilience and strength training, 12 sessions. This has worked out really well for me. Eve is very knowledgeable and really supportive. Each session began with her checking on my progress and offering advice and guidance on how I was developing. I injured my elbow (in an unconnected event) towards the end and Eve gave me good advice on my recovery and she adapted the exercise program in response. The program moved on to developing my strength, with a clear demonstration of what the exercises were and what their aims were. Towards the end, many of the sessions focused on optimizing the exercises and correcting the errors I was making. Another benefit we noticed was that my balance in general improved during the program. As always, the full team at MacFarlane Physiotherapy are polite and welcoming and it’s a really positive, healthy environment. I’m grateful to Eve for her work, understanding and encouragement – many thanks, and I’m keeping going!

Fantastic experience: Fabulous team. Fitted me in at short notice and took time to listen and check over my knee operation as I was having issues. Cant thank them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Phoned with back pain, squeezed into a same day appointment. Seen on time and left with less pain and more mobility. With lots of Thanks to Eve for the treatment and the chat.

Fantastic experience: Being a qualified masseuse I find I can be quite critical of some therapists who just go through the motions without identifying the issues. My massage by Eve was amazing. She targeted the exact areas from my pain points. I would rate Eve 10 / 10 amd highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Was recommended going here by a neighbour. Noah was great and a few weeks got the movement back in my arm. Was always greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. Would definitely return if I feel I need it in the future .

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience here over some months. Initially I saw Noah for a sore hip. He recommended some sessions with Eve who worked out a programme for me to strengthen my muscles. I had already had a few enjoyable massages from Eve. The sessions were fun and helpful. Thank you Eve! Now it's up to me

Fantastic experience: My treatment with Tom was excellent - not just technically but emotionally/psychologically. I left each appointment reassured that my condition was improving and with the given exercise program, I would be able to return to my usual high levels of sport and recreation Tom’s patient explanations of my condition also helped me understand how my sporting injury was likely to have happened and how to avoid the same kind of injury again My only minor gripe is the parking which was a bit troublesome from time to time so I’d recommend allowing 10 minutes before an appointment in case you don’t get parked in the street outside Many thanks Tom and MacFarlane !

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Louise a few times during my pregnancy and she has always been generally supportive and very helpful with my back pain. She has been able to massage the areas I’ve found achy which gives me good relief of discomfort as well as showing me some stretches and exercises I can do at home which has made a big difference.

Fantastic experience: Was sceptical about private physio. The whole team at MacFarlane were absolutely amazing. I’ve never felt better

Fantastic experience: I saw Noah yesterday and thought he was excellent. He took the time to listen to me describing my condition and then explained what he thought the issue was and how best to treat it in a way I understood. If I ever need physiotherapy advice/treatment again I would not hesitate to come and see Noah.

Fantastic experience: Noah Black gave an excellent service, a great listener, very patient and attentive.Every week l attended l felt cared for.First class service.

Fantastic experience: To be honest had given up hope of sorting out my chronic, intermittent back problem, as this was really affecting my quality of life and restricting my activities, as even standing for any length of time brought on my painful back spasms which was only relieved by lying flat and applying heat. The initial consultation was very thorough and I felt for the first time I was being really listened to. Noah picked up about my previous knee replacements and how I was feeling as if my torso was twisted, as it turned out, there was a discrepancy in my leg lengths, and he suggested a heel raiser on one side, and gave me a heat massage to the tender area on my back. He followed this up by giving me exercises to do at home to get me moving again and encouraging me to get my life back, and get back to the gym. Within a few weeks, by wearing the heel raiser and doing the online exercise regime, my back felt back to normal and I was able to get back to the gym and get my life back. Thanks to Noah’s guidance. Would definitely recommend this physio practice, they really seem to know what they’re doing and it’s so refreshing not to just be fobbed off with analgesics and more or less told to get on with it. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Tom was great! Helped me out and with no MRI knew exactly what was going on. 5/5 would go back again.

Fantastic experience: My shoulder was stiff after a fracture a few years ago and Heather has made a huge improvement to the movement and discomfort. Her assessment was spot on and the hands on treatment must have some kind of magic going on. I have already recommended MacFarlane Physio to several friends and family

Fantastic experience: A knowledgeable, professional, and friendly team. A special mention is due for Noah, who not only helped with a quick recovery from an acute injury, but within a few short sessions (with homework in between) managed to help me finally overcome a completely separate long standing hip issue.

Fantastic experience: Great service from Noah, helping me recover from Achilles tendinitis - got me back up and running and achieving my goals.

Fantastic experience: I am very happy with the treatment and service I received from Noah and the rest of the team at MacFarlane Physiotherapy. I would highly recommend them.

Positive experience: Had a few sessions with Noah and was very satisfied with them. I've used several physios in the area that I wasn't happy with but I'd definitely go back to MacFarlane in future

Fantastic experience: I have attended a number of sessions with Heather and can only describe my experience as excellent. Her knowledge and skills have helped me recently and in the past. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly service. The Physio team are very knowledgeable providing a high service of care.

I also use the sports therapy team who also provide a great service when I need some deep tissue work. Again, very friendly and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: I recently had a number of physio sessions with Noah following a leg injury. This was the first time I've ever had physio and I was uncertain as what to expect.
