Spires Physiotherapy Oxford

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Andreas. He is a knowledgeable, personable and no-nonsense physio who supported me with a practical, effective plan to work on long-term injury issues and general strength. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Andreas did a really exellent job in supporting my teenage child to recover from a football-related back injury. Over a series of sessions, Andreas developed a really focused and targeted programme that helped my child to return to playing again and provided a platform to for them to take control of their future strength and fitness journey. I would highly recommend Andreas!

Fantastic experience: I have been very despondent with physiotherapy until I came to see Andreas. Just incredibly impressed with his rigorous, informative and super knowledgeable approach. Transformative . I have a long way to go but I have honestly never experienced such a brilliant service, feeling this physio really cares about the outcome and works with you to achieve your goals in a very considered, professional way. This is what first class looks like.Thank you so much Andreas.

Fantastic experience: Andreas supported me through a shoulder injury over a number of months, building my exercises and listening to my feedback. I have now recovered and am grateful for all the help - thank you Andreas

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Adelina for a combined back and hip problem. She has been fantastic - made a really thorough assessment of the problem and my needs, devised a plan which was easy to follow on the app, adjusted it according to my progress and throughout has been friendly, kind and encouraging. I definitely recommend her !

Fantastic experience: I have come away with much more knowledge about my body and it's capabilities, and how to remain healthy in the future. I have been able to take up running again pain free. Thanks Andreas!

Fantastic experience: Amazing work, after two years+ of struggling with my back and dealing with the NHS, they managed to sort my back pain in under 3 sessions. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Adelina for my high hamstring injury and she is an excellent physio. She listens carefully and is very reassuring. She created a rehab programme that was just the right level of challenge and gave structured progression along with great practical advice. Following her guidance, I was able to keep running and progressing throughout my rehab period and I am now stronger, pain free and back to full training and competing. Adelina made sure the process was really well-supported and she was always willing to answer my questions. It is so good to see the positive outcomes.

Fantastic experience: I met with Freya for a physio appointment and she was wonderful! She gave me some really helpful exercises that eased off my pain, and gave me a lot of clarity regarding past injuries/pains I’ve experienced. Her support extended beyond the appointment, and the follow up notes were extremely helpful.

Fantastic experience: excellent physiotherapy. Professional, helpful and personable. Exactly what I was looking for treatment. Appointments offered in good time with flexibility too. Can't recommend the highly enough.

Fantastic experience: When my usual Physio was away, I pulled something in my neck and had to find somewhere else to go. I'd heard good things about Spires Physiotherapy and I am really glad I went. Freya was phenomenal, listened very carefully and explained everything very well. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Adelina at Spires Physiotherapy for rehab after an Achilles tendon rupture and she has been absolutely great. She was very precise with my recovery programme, explained every exercise clearly, and used an app that made it really easy to track progress between sessions. I felt supported the whole way through and always knew what I should be doing. I’d highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you’re recovering from an injury and want to return to sport safely.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend the physiotherapists at Spires whose expertise and encouragement helped me fix my Achilles heel a year ago and a shoulder tendonitis this year. I have seen Gurhan, Adelina and Freya and they are all lovely and very knowledgeable. Adelina has really supported me to make progress with my shoulder which is now pain-free. I really appreciated their measurement-based approach which helped keep me motivated because I could see the improvement each time. I originally contacted the Spires practice because the tendonitis pain was stopping me training for a half-marathon. I'm back to running, but more importantly Gurhan has helped me identify and improve muscle weakness and imbalance that's been there for decades, and I'm so glad I now know how to build the strength I'll need for the future. He has just the right blend of science and kindness, and the Spires practice is in a very convenient location.

Fantastic experience: Andreas was great! He helped to fix my hand problem with a combination of strengthening exercises and massaging techniques that I could easily follow at home. Would definitely recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Adelina at Oxford Spires was extremely helpful. She carried out a very thorough physical assessment and took a detailed history. She explained all the exercises clearly and also used 'hands on' techniques. Above all she is positive, encouraging and realistic. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Freya was fantastic and managed to pin point the issue with my lower back and gave several thorough sessions and exercises to carry out.

Fantastic experience: Having been referred to Freya at Oxford Spires Physio in late October, I am already feeling the benefit of the advice, treatment and understanding of what my condition needs. The analysis of how the condition was created, has been explained clearly , but positively, with excellent and thoughtful consideration to ensure progress is made with the exercises and physio treatment programme completed at home.The friendly consultative approach is welcomed and I cannot recommend Spires and the Team, and Freya highly enough. More sessions to follow, but very pleased and happy with progress made to date.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Freya at Spires Physiotherapy for a knee problem and have had an excellent experience. Freya is very friendly, approachable, and took the time to carefully assess my condition. She explained everything clearly, personalized the exercises to my specific needs, and made sure to ramp up the difficulty as I got better and stronger. Her supportive and thorough approach made a big difference, and I highly recommend her for any musculoskeletal issues.

Fantastic experience: I'm incredibly grateful to Adelina at Spires Physio for working with me to get back to running after an injury. She was patient and attentive and I'm so pleased with the results we've achieved. Can't recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Highly Recommended! Life-Changing Physiotherapy with Andreas Georgoulas. Coming to Spires Physiotherapy Oxford through my work insurance was the luckiest coincidence, because Andreas Georgoulas has been, without a doubt, the best physiotherapist I have ever had. For my initial condition, he managed to understand the root cause long before imaging results were available. Over the following months, he expertly guided my recovery using kinesiotherapy, setting a package of tailored exercises via a very easy-to-use app. I recovered double my muscle strength, and I am now confident enough to work out in a local gym he recommended to keep building my hip muscles and potentially avoid surgery! But my experience with Andreas went above and beyond that. When my neck pain flared up—a chronic issue I’d been coping with for two years—he immediately understood how to release the pressure around my shoulder and collarbone through deep tissue massage. I was absolutely over the moon when 70% of the pain improved just after the first treatment. I had genuinely thought I had to live with this pain after seeing other specialists, including chiropractors and osteopaths, without success. I highly recommend Spires Physiotherapy and, in particular, Andreas to anyone struggling with pain. I am confident he will improve your life as he has done for mine!

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Freya regarding a squatting injury to my lower back. Her sessions were really friendly and informative, addressing my key concerns. After each session, she produced a targeted exercise plan to help during my recovery which was adapted as my range of movement improved. Freya's help has significantly improved the pain and movement in lower back and I am now able to confidently return to my sporting and fitness activities. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working with Freya for 6 months, she has been competent, knowledgeable and patient when helping with my injury. She’s helped me build strength up and has given great advice on pain management and steps forward. Thank you Freya!

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Freya for an elbow injury and couldn't be happier with the results. She's incredibly friendly and approachable, making it easy to communicate about any concerns or questions I had throughout my treatment. I've seen significant improvement in my elbow, and the exercises she's prescribed have not only helped with my recovery but have made me stronger overall. I feel much more confident that I can prevent similar injuries in the future.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service from Spires and Andreas. He listened well and gave clear instructions of how I could improve my condition. I feel stronger having completed my program than before I got injured

Fantastic experience: Freya is a caring and empathetic physio, who from the start gave me confidence that I could solve my problems promptly. Freya has answers to all of my questions, and clearly explains the theory behind her advice. I made consistent improvement in my time being treated, with regular physical assessments, reviewing of my recommended program, and managing inevitable setbacks. I'm now well on the road to getting my running mileage up to pre-injury levels! For anyone else with running overload issues, I strongly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had five sessions at Spires Physiotherapy - three with Freya and two with Adelina. Both were kind and competent in the way they listened to my lower back problem and adapted the exercise programme to my hypermobility. When the problem persisted despite all of our best efforts, they were again very helpful in referring me forward to further examinations and a consultation with a specialist doctor. I am grateful for their expertise and diligence, and would definitely recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Adelina was wonderful. After sustaining a knee injury earlier this year, she has helped me back to near-complete function. Adelina provided curated programs to access on a physio app, hour-long consultations that felt really constructive, and overall a very friendly service. Thanks so much :)

Fantastic experience: Andreas is an amazing Physio. I particularly like his approach of measuring strength to get a baseline and then set clear goals to work towards. It makes the whole physio process much more understandable and motivating with having clear strength targets. He takes the time to really understand the injury and work through it with one. After a few months with him I'm finally injury free and can do injury running training like I never could before.

Fantastic experience: Andreas is such a kind and approachable physio, and I really enjoyed my sessions with him. I’ve had a disc issue and surgery in the past, and when the pain came back, I saw several physios who didn’t think it was disc-related. At my very first session with Andreas, he did a really thorough assessment and picked up on weaknesses no one else had mentioned before. With the exercises he gave me, I noticed a big difference in my strength and reduced pain within just a few weeks. I’d happily recommend Spires to anyone looking for a physio!

Fantastic experience: Andreas was truly excellent - I finished the set of sessions feeling stronger, more knowledgeable and fairly sure I have the tools to avoid any similar problems in the future. Can't recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: I consulted Andreas at Spires Physio after having a fall and sustaining a soft tissue injury to my groin and hip. The injury was very painful and seriously impacting on my mobility. Andreas was an excellent physio who initially assessed my injury expertly and provided advice and an exercise programme tailored to my needs. During our subsequent sessions, he added more exercises and extra support and advice after I'd had a setback by doing too much, too soon (my own fault). I'm now back to full mobility thanks to Andreas and would recommend him very highly indeed.

Fantastic experience: Adelina is absolutely fantastic. I had been dealing with a knee injury for over one year at the age of 16 and it stopped me running and doing sport. After trying self rehab from YouTube very consistently with no improvement I found Spires Physiotherapy. What I like the best about Adelina’s approach is the focus on improving function and ability, with a truly science based approach. She very clearly laid out the program for me and gradually built up in weight and intensity. Overall, I could recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: The Spires Physiotherapy clinic helped me identify and cure a recurring wrist issue. Once identified Andreas tested various metrics and prescribed me a full rehab programme, making sure I was comfortable with each exercise before retesting me and progressing to the next level of exercises after a few weeks. If I could afford to have him in my corner full time, I would!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Andreas at Spires Physiotherapy Oxford since December last year, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. From the very first session right through to now, Andreas has been professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely supportive. He took the time to understand my situation, explained everything clearly, and tailored the exercises perfectly to my needs. I’ve seen real progress thanks to his guidance and encouragement. The clinic itself is friendly and welcoming, making every visit a positive experience. Highly recommend Andreas and the whole team!

Fantastic experience: I went to Spires as I was looking for one last point of view from an expert to eveluate my knee after a stress fracture and torn meniscus. I had no expectations, just somebody that could indicate if my days of running were really over, to find my peace. I was not expecting to meet with Andreas and I am so glad I did! With very honest and straight facts and communication style that resonated with me he supported me to start from the basics: running tests, prepare exercises I could do at home and check my posture and my execution. But that was not enough! my eagerness to go back to what I was doing before made me trip and fell again. Andreas gave me a wake up call and we started again. It was a long ride, 4 months, I now go to the gym, run, swim and cycle again, hopefully planning a triathlon race for next year. I really recommend Andreas if you are looking for a honest professional to guide, advice on listening to your body and "do not over do it" Thanks Andreas!

Fantastic experience: Injured my knee after ramping up my running too quickly. Andreas’s assessment and suggested physio program got be back on track to start running again after just 3 visits over 4 weeks. I highly recommend Andreas. Andreas set up my physio program in PhysiApp, which is brilliant to use! The videos of the exercises, stretches, etc. in the App are extremely helpful.

Fantastic experience: Freya was excellent at getting me back to running after being off for months with runner’s knee. Friendly, efficient and helpful - I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a physiotherapist.

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Adelina last year for tech neck issues, and the improvement has been amazing. I used to get at least one headache a week and regular migraines — now I barely get them at all. My posture has improved noticeably, and I feel so much stronger and more balanced overall. Adelina has been incredibly supportive and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. I’m really grateful for her help and can’t wait to continue working with her!

Fantastic experience: Had a BUPA referral with neck stiffness issues. Being consulted by Andreas, who helped me to identify the root cause of the problems. After few months of workouts I felt much better, strength improved and now I much better understand how things work. It was nice and efficient experience. Also the app with diary of workouts helps a lot to adhere to the routine and be consistent.

Fantastic experience: I saw Freya for a knee injury, and she was very friendly and approachable throughout my time with her. She took the time to assess my condition and explained everything in detail. The exercises she provided were really helpful for my recovery and are a good addition to my usual workout. I highly recommend her for her thorough and supportive approach!

Fantastic experience: Adelina Flores is amazing. Highly recommend her work. I’ve been working with her for 12+ months and we have now progressed beyond injury rehab to prevention. If you do the work it takes a while and it’s slow but it works!!!

Fantastic experience: I had a very positive experience with Andreas - past glowing reviews on here is why I chose Spires Physiotherapy. Andreas was very kind, compassionate and knowledgeable - he helped me with recovery following a twisted ankle, during a challenging post bereavement period I had to deal with at the same time. We focussed not only on my ankle, but also my overall physical, emotional and nutritional wellbeing - to support me with my goal to recovery. Andreas set my expectations around the length of time it will take (and he was right), and my overall fitness is much improved - even compared to before the injury. He was patient, listened, and was strict when it was needed to help me to find my own way of following the prescribed exercises. I never felt judged, always accepted and supported. Thank you very much! So grateful to have a BUPA medical insurance, which helped with my physio sessions. Andreas - keep doing what you do, you are doing it well!

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Freya for nearly 10 months now, originally going to her for a stress fracture. Since then, she's helped me through multiple injuries, and I honestly can't recommend her enough. She's incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to really get to the root of the problem, not just treat the symptoms. What really stands out is how supportive and positive she is. Recovering from an injury can be pretty overwhelming and stressful, but Freya's calm confidence always put me at ease. She explains everything clearly, provides in-depth exercises tailored to my recovery, and has helped me feel stronger and more in control throughout the process. On top of all that, she's just a lovely person and genuinely cares.

Fantastic experience: Andreas has been brilliant with helping me recover from a torn meniscus injury over the last few months. I am now pain-free and have regained lots of strength and mobility again in such a short amount of time!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Andreas for both my lower back and ankle pain, which has been chronic for over 10 years after a car accident. After struggling to see the right person through the NHS, BUPA connected me with Spires, and I started sessions with Andreas. I have completed my ankle sessions, and I am so impressed with the difference it has made. I am now pain-free in my ankle 95% of the time. Whereas there was constant discomfort previously, and I could not stand stably on that foot alone, go on tiptoes, or run without it swelling, I have been able to run 15 miles without swelling! Andreas is a hard taskmaster, but he pushes you to make the required improvements, and it really pays off. I am halfway through my back treatment, and I am noticing some big improvements there too, and now know how to better manage it. I am sure my improvements will continue. I cannot emphasise enough—don't suffer with chronic pain; it is possible to do something about it, and the difference improving it can make to your life is huge! I would highly recommend anyone with similar issues to see Andreas. I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Adelina is a great physiotherapist! She helped me better manage my tension and discomfort, gave me the right exercises for each concern I raised, and was supportive throughout our sessions together. As a result, I feel more confident and comfortable.

Fantastic experience: I had a couple of session with the lovely lady Andrea .She is very energetic ,friendly and very helpful .I had frozen shoulder I could barely lift my arm or move around with her treatment ,advice ,practice and a bit of exercise I’am fully recovered now .I would recommend any one who wants to seek help and treatment for their injury don’t hesitate to book a consultation .She is great .Thank you .

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Freya for several issues for about 9 months now. She is incredibly thorough, friendly and helpful, and things have been getting much better since I started seeing her. In particular, she's really good at helping me prioritise what I need to do in terms of exercises and fitting them in in quite a packed schedule, but also giving me lots of options so I can change things up. Highly recommend her, and the whole experience of going to Spires Physio :)

Fantastic experience: Went to Andreas with a running injury and not only did he get me on a programme that gradually built up my running ability again, he also educated me on the reason behind each exercise and the importance of strength and conditioning. Very good

Fantastic experience: Andreas worked well with me through my issue, identifying what the reasons were, and then helping progress me back to fitness. Good advice and tempered my eagerness to try and get back to it too quickly

Fantastic experience: I started with Andreas after moving to Oxford a couple of months after having ACL reconstruction surgery. He did a very thorough assessment of my condition in the first session and created a rehabilitation programme for me that was clear and easy to follow. He also broke down the process into achievable goals and benchmarks that helped keep me motivated by seeing the progress. He also helped me in becoming more confident in my movements and not to be too afraid of pushing myself when needed.

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience at Spires Physiotherapy, Andreas was great in both diagnosing and explaining my injury as well as supporting my recovery. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Went in with all sorts of aches mainly on back and elbow and I am very pleased to say that I feel pain free now!!!! Andreas is amazing. He has been very supportive throughout the treatment. He takes the time to listen and fully understands his patient’ s lifestyle demands so he can adapt exercises accordingly. He has also been very patient with me and has given me some great advise for both my physical and mental health. Will definitely recommend Andreas. Many thanks Sophie C

Fantastic experience: I came to Georgoulas with a recurrent neck ache leading to eye and headache. His programme was well suited to the task and I am now pain free and also generally feeling more healthy. He had achieved the remarkable feat of getting a lifelong refusenik into the habit of regular daily exercise: all done with charm and understanding !

Fantastic experience: I came to Adelina with a wrist injury. She's been very helpful and now my wrist has completely recovered. She's very friendly and knowledgeable. I climb in my free time and she gave me additional exercises to accommodate that. I highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: My husband had limitations and Andreas was marvellous, constructing detailed exercises to promote his well being. My husband now has a lot more mobility and credit goes to Andreas for all his expertise and patience. We will certainly recommend Spires Physiotherapy and especially Andreas. We are extremely grateful and will not hesitate to make further contact if we require further assistance.

Fantastic experience: I saw Andreas over a 3 month period for my shoulder impingement (caused by lifting weights at the gym). He got to the root cause quickly and gave me a program of exercise to strengthen the surrounding muscles while allowing the injury to heal. Each step was well explained and he tailored the exercises to suit me, my strengths and weaknesses. Really happy with the progress made and the knowledge and exercises I take away for ongoing maintenance and prevention. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly recommend Spires Physio. I've been with two different issues over the years, and both times have received great help and advice, with an excellent treatment programme that has had a huge impact. Recently I've been treated by Andreas, who has been friendly and hugely helpful, and I'm very grateful for his expertise.

Fantastic experience: This was my first experience of physiotherapy and Adelina was brilliant. I felt like she understood exactly what I wanted to get out of the sessions and gave me all the information I needed. She was friendly and kind and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. With Adelina's help I am now running pain-free. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a couple of sessions with Freya at Spires Physiotherapy, and I’m very happy with the service and attention! Freya is very kind, friendly and knowledgeable. She has made me feel very safe and calm during our sessions, and she has lots of recommendations that have already helped me improve the back pain. I’m sure I’ll feel a lot better in no time :)

Fantastic experience: Very grateful with Adelina, she's been super helpful with a hip injury that was always coming and going. Now it's feeling better than ever and she has given me the tools to make them even stronger so I don't get more injuries in the future.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Experience! I went to see Andreas with an ankle sprain. After 6 months, I'm close to a full recovery. Andreas is diligent and he explained the full process and structure of the recovery plan. I was a bit apprehensive about the cost of seeing a physio as it was my first time. However, I'm glad I went and I would definitely go again should anything crop up. Would absolutely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with Spires no waiting to get appointments, Freya was excellent and helped with a pinched nerve in my arm which I had for months it is getting better and the exercises got easier as time went by. I would definitely recommend them.

Fantastic experience: An amazing experience from start to finish! For months I had been struggling with regular shin splints which prevented me from running. Andreas was honest about the issues and problems that I needed to fix. I was provided with a simple but effective programme that’s got me back running and stronger than ever! A life changing experience

Fantastic experience: Excellent care and expertise from Adelina who I saw regarding a knee injury. She is very thorough and knowledgeable in her approach and I definitely recommend Spires physiotherapy for anyone looking for help with recovery from any type of sporting injury.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Andreas with a painful achilles tendon. With a combination of expertise, clear explanation, good humour and gentle pressure he has got me running again and helped not only with my ankle but also with my general fitness. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: My experience with Spires Physiotherapy has been fantastic. I have worked through a knee injury and toe pain that caused pain walking to get back to running long distances pain-free. Andreas' approach to strength building and return to activity has left me more confident in my body, and less panicked about the many niggles that life brings! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: As an ageing creaky competitive cyclist, I needed advice which came easy and affective at Oxford Spires. Now back to best and can move forward to get competitive again. Great exercise video package and easy booking process. Andreas had plenty of patience with me to guide me through. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Adelina or Spires Physiotherapy enough! 6 months ago in March I fell when skiing and ruptured my ACL. 3 days later I started working with Adelina. Adelina was so reassuring in the early days of my injury, when I was very scared about what my next few years were going to look like. She initially set me daily exercises, which I accessed through an easy to use app she set up. Over time the exercises built up in intensity, and the time between our session got longer. I really appreciated how well Adelina planned in our sessions. It always felt like the next appointment came at exactly the right time. Communication with Adelina was easy. Not only within the sessions themselves, but also outside of them. She responded to the many queries I put to her via email in a timely and kind manner. Exactly 6 months to the day after my ACL injury I was able to take part in an Olympic triathlon with no pain. When I had initially googled ACL rupture, I found mainly negative warnings about having to have surgery and potentially not being able to do the activities I loved anymore. Through working with Adelina I have found that not to be the case. Physio has allowed me to everything I want to do.

Fantastic experience: I went to Andreas to treat a back injury. Andreas was highly professional and thanks to his training program and careful evaluation, I was able to fully overcome the injury. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: TL;DR: My experience with Gurhan at Spires Physiotherapy was very positive. He is knowledgeable and experienced, and his prescription of exercises seems to have been effective. More detail about my experience: I spoke to Gurhan at Spires Physiotherapy after almost a year of recurrent lower back pain. I had already tried incorporating some stretching/yoga and core training exercises into my exercise regimen, but to no avail. So I decided I needed input from an expert. Gurhan quickly diagnosed the source of the problem: weak hips and poor core control. He also helped me to understand that the pain results from muscle spasms and so is not an indication of anything more serious like a strain or tear. This was reassuring, and encouraged me to go ahead with my planned sporting activities despite some pain. Gurhan gave me exercises to stengthen my hips and core, and to increase spinal flexibility. These exercises, which I've been doing for a couple of months now, have noticeably improved my stability while running and while walking with weights, and, most importantly, I haven't had any further spasms in the lower back! I am very grateful to Gurhan for his help.

Fantastic experience: Adelina has been fantastic and has helped me get back to running after a flare-up of a recurring injury. She has helped me understand why I keep getting injured, and what I need to do to avoid having flare-ups in the future as well as supporting me through the return to exercise and with my questions along the way. I'd definitely recommend her!

Fantastic experience: Adelina is amazing. She has the knowledge and expertise, the experience, the empathy and kindness and many more other skills that make her a wonderful professional (and person), able to understand and treat her patients in the best way possible. She has helped me, and keeps helping me a lot, so I could not be more grateful. Their website is also very good, allowing you to book quickly and easily, seeing the availability without the need to call.

Fantastic experience: Andreas at Spires has helped me recover from a debilitating muscle injury. From the initial thorough examination to the detailed exercise program via the app( brilliant) it couldn’t have been better. Thanks very much

Fantastic experience: I went to see Andreas as I had problems with my knee and achilles tendons. His diagnosis was thorough, his explanations clear. His no-nonsense approach helped the message get through my thick skull: If I didn’t reduce some of the activities I was doing and focus on strength I was unlikely to improve. By following his instructions I am now feeling a lot stronger and confident that my knee will do what I need it to. With his guidance I have seen the importance of building strength, so much so that it’s an area I want to learn more about. I have no hesitation in recommending Andreas.

Fantastic experience: Adelina is an incredible physio who I will return to time and time again (if I need to). She worked so diligently to help with me with a severe neck and nerve pain problem that had massively impacted my way of living. I am now able to do exercise and move freely with so much less pain, and it is continuing to get better every day as I increase the reps and weights of the exercise plan Adelina provided. Adelina understood that I needed to start at the absolute basics - just movement and light stretches - before I could even consider strengthening the muscles. It's been 6 months of small, steady steps but it was the absolute right way to do it and it's worked wonders. Thank you Adelina!!!

Negative experience: The physio was uninterested during the assessment. It felt like the appointment was a choir to the physio and he was borderline rude on occasion during some of the interactions. During the physical section of the appointment, minimal exercise guidance and tactile or verbal cues were given resulting in unclear exercise standards. The assigned exercises were not correctly detailed in the prescribed remedial program stated in their app, with a large number of exercises missing, nor was any progression or sets/repetitions assigned. Overall a very disappointing appointment, I won’t be revisiting.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Dr Gurhan for knee pain and golfer's elbow, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From the start, Gurhan's exceptional expertise was evident as he thoroughly assessed my conditions and crafted a personalised treatment plan that addressed the root causes of my pain. Thanks to his expertise I ended up seeing significant improvements in just a few sessions and am completely pain free for the first time in years. I honestly can’t recommend Dr Gurhan enough and have already recommended him to friends and family!

Fantastic experience: Andreas provided excellent treatment, patient, sympathetic, experienced, expert. He masterminded my recovery from the pain in both hamstrings, which had blighted me for many years, and to enjoy vigorous country walks with Lilly (our dog) again.

Fantastic experience: Really happy with the help I got treating my foot pain. Andreas took time to explain how to do the exercises and why they help. Can highly recommend Spires Physiotherapy Oxford!

Fantastic experience: I went to Spires following a hamstring injury and Andreas was incredibly helpful with my recovery. The exercises were tailored to my sport and I really enjoyed them. I was pain-free after only a few months post injury, and I have had significant improvement in my strength after only 4 months of working with Andreas. I could not recommend his services enough!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly physio who significantly reduced the pain I've been feeling in my lower back/ hip after exercise. Fast responses to emails and the exercises that Adelina shared via an app were clear and helpful.

Fantastic experience: I went to Gurhan at Spires struggling with pain and lack of function in both knees and feeling quite negative about the future might hold. Gurhan made a diagnosis based on my symptoms (chondromalacia mild to moderate patellar aspect knee osteoarthritis) and gave me a series of exercises to perform which he modified as strength and function in my knees improved. At each visit he demonstrated the progress I was making which gave me the incentive to keep going! The pain in my knees is significantly reduced and strength and function is vastly better in both knees leaving me much more confident in everyday life. Knowing I can keep exercising, including skiing, has really made a positive difference to me. I will keep doing the maintenance exercises! Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I had a few sessions with Adelina about a historical knee issue that I wanted to ensure was healed. I was also training for a marathon and had some other life events occurring, and Adelina took these into account, and worked around them. She was kind, knowledgeable and highly personable. Appointments were easy to book, and I'd highly recommend physio with Spires.

Fantastic experience: I went to the clinic with severe plantar fascia pain, hardly able to walk after an injury at work. Andreas gave me a realistic timeframe for recovery and a series of rehab exercises which were easy to follow. He was very understanding about the nature of my job (on my feet all day) and gave suggestions about how to manage that alongside exercise. After just 4 months I am back to running pain-free and am amazed at how quick and smooth my recovery has been. I am so grateful to Andreas for his help and encouragement.

Fantastic experience: Before coming for treatment I was starting to think I would never recover from an extremely painful episode of sciatica which meant it was hard both to sleep and to walk. It had been going on for 3 months and had not been impacted by either osteopathy or pain killers. Gurhan listened closely to my symptoms and did a careful systematic diagnosis before offering various exercises. Much to my surprise these did the trick. Within a few days the pain was receding and after a month and a follow up visit the pain had disappeared completely and my life and vitality restored onto an even keel. Gurhan is responsive - he keeps careful notes so can monitor progress - and he does not marry his hypothesis but stays flexible to changing evidence. He is also good at explaining and seeing when something hasn't been understood. 5 stars isn't enough. I highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Finally pain free! I've suffered with back problems for 40 years and physio treatment generally involved a brief consultation, a zap with the tens machine and a a few stretches. Gurhan at Spires was very different. A thorough and very expert check, a series of excellent stretch and strengthening excercises coupled with a genuine interest in resolving my long term back issues has finally left me after years and years pain free. The year before his colleague was equally helpful with pain to my knee. A truly life changinging clinic!

Fantastic experience: I saw Adelina several times over the course of a few months to work on my long-running back issues, plus a few other bonus things! Adelina was very diligent and took time to ask questions and investigate things thoroughly. She was prepared to make a long term plan and to adjust things each time I visited, depending on my progress. Exercises were very much part of the process so you have to be prepared to put some effort in yourself! I've been to a few physios in the area and this time I really felt I was in good hands. Thanks Adelina!

Fantastic experience: Adelina was very helpful for my shoulder issues, I was only sad that I was leaving the area and could not continue to see her. She takes her time to diagnose your issue and is thoughtful about the treatment as exercises she gives. She also explains everything very well, I have recommended her to others I know in Oxford.

Fantastic experience: Andreas exceeded all my expectations: he is kind, clear and highly motivating. His expertise and enthusiasm completely and rapidly solved my Achilles tendon problem (and my general level of fitness!)

Fantastic experience: I came to Adelina, with an Achilles injury that I had ignored for over 6 months and it had got to a point where it had a big impact on the sport I played and the physical activities I could undertake. The service received was amazing and I made a full recovery. Adelina made a very clear timeline and set goals across the journey making rehab much more enjoyable rather than just looking at the end (being discharged). I found her very professional and appreciate all the hard work and energy put into every session. I recovered well and Adelina helped me deal with injury set backs along the way! I would highly recommend her, thank you again for all the help :)

Fantastic experience: I went to Adelina with 'runners knee' condition, and she expertly helped me recover and progress my running in the few months I spent attending her sessions. I would highly recommend her services!

Fantastic experience: I have been treated by Andreas over the past 4 months for a back injury. I was in significant pain and even struggling to walk before coming to Spires. Thanks to Andreas's careful consultation he quickly diagnosed the issue; the exercises I got were challenging and effective, and I'm now stronger than I was previously. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I had great support and guidance from Adelina for months and it's been super helpful. She was very good at explaining where my pain comes from and how to manage my exercise plan depending on how my health is. She's given me very good advice, both for strengthening the muscles and relaxing the tension. We also had such fun chats! I highly recommend her. Thanks again Adelina! Take care.

Fantastic experience: I saw Adelina for an injury to my knee as a runner. Adelina made me feel very comfortable to explain my concerns and helped form a plan of strengthening exercises and a gradual return to running. I saw Adelina on a few different occasions and each time my confidence grew and she helped me get back to running 2-3 times a week after following the exercise plan. I would recommend Adelina at Spires as she has helped me get back to running pain free, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Adelina helped find specialised excises to help with rehab and went beyond and researched in my sport. All the support has helped me become a better athlete and have seen noticeable improvements in my sport.

Fantastic experience: I saw Andreas for knee pain from running. He quickly diagnosed the source of the problem and over the course of a few sessions/months has helped me build strength. I now have a program that I can continue to use. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Adelina was amazing! My hip had been really disrupting my life from an old injury and she gave me excellent targeted exercises that saw me complete a half marathon without it being an issue. Most importantly it doesn’t bother me anymore in normal life and it’s such a relief! Would absolutely recommend

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Andreas at Spires Physiotherapy. Having shoulder tendonitis, I saw a substantial improvement in flexibility and strength within only 3 months, exceeding my previous levels. I really appreciated Andreas's evidence-based approach to physiotherapy. He carefully examined my injury, shared valuable knowledge and provided me with a personalised exercise plan for effective rehabilitation. What motivated me was Andreas's constant encouragement to return to my daily activities. Instead of giving me a long list of restrictions, he emphasized the plan needed to quickly get back to my routine. I'm very happy with the service and would highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: I have been to see Adelina at Spires Physio many times. I run, bike and swim and often get little niggles that I can’t always manage myself so I call on Adelina. She is always friendly and encouraging and rather than tell you not to do something she gives you exercises and works with you to gradually get back to where you want to be. I always leave feeling good about what we are working on together. She is also always good at explaining and sending me notes on what we have talked about along with my exercises on the app which is handy on my phone for when I go to the gym to do them. I would definitely recommend Spires Physio.
