Optimal Physio

Fantastic experience: Great experience working with Linzi to address a knee issue. In-depth assessment and diagnosis of issue, along with a targeted rehab plan. Highly recommend Linzi @ Optimal Physio.

Fantastic experience: Anna is an excellent physiotherapist! I cannot thank Anna and all at Optimo Physio enough, the service was great from start to finish.

Fantastic experience: Very accommodating at short notice with no initial charge. Follow up appointment, after injury, was excellent also.

Fantastic experience: Excellent follow up from Andrew and the practice. This shows a real care for me and the progress I am making

Fantastic experience: Excellent approach to my bespoke injury issues. Looking forward to working with Optimal in the coming months and returning to training.

Fantastic experience: Extremely happy with my assessment session. I had been in constant lower back pain since November and was nervous of every day movements. After my session with Daniel I was able to move with greater ease and now have a daily routine of stretching exercises which was emailed to me. This has made such a difference and has given me confidence to perform everyday tasks. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Treatment always very professional, friendly and effective. Effective diagnosis and treatment for my hip issue. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Efficient, friendly advice from Daniel, allied to helpful emailed exercises.

Fantastic experience: Had a great initial assessment with Daniel and was happy with advice given. Plan to buy a package of physio treatments to get me back on my feet again.

Fantastic experience: Went with a minor ailment, was given expert advice and exercises to deal with it. Great massage too! Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I bring my own problems, as I still play competitive squash and racketball into my 70s. So once or twice a year a calf pings, a shoulder strains or a ham gets strung. I have been going to Stephen for years now, and he will always sort me out, after some initial manipulation; but more specifically giving me the right stretches to correct things , with input as to how I avoid the same injury again. He is very knowledgeable and always wants to get me back playing soonest, which is something I really appreciate !

Fantastic experience: I had an hour initial assessment Natalie was very understanding of my back problem and was able to identify the root cause. I would recommend Optimal Physio for your Physio needs.

Fantastic experience: Seem very competent as I received my initial assessment, very pleased with how things went. My 2nd appointment did hurt a bit more, but no pain no gain.

Fantastic experience: After about 6 weeks of hip pain I attended Optimal Physio more in hope than expectation. I was sure a hip replacement was in the offing. However after a consultation with Daniel he assured me that wasn’t the case. Over several weeks he gave me different exercises which in time had me back at the gym and pain free again. Would definitely recommend Optimal Physio.

Fantastic experience: Natalie is s fantastic physio sans really help keep my sciatica at bay. Staff are so very helpful and accommodating

Fantastic experience: After years of suffering recurring lower back pain, Daniel McGrath of Optimal Physio quickly identified the problem and created a digital exercise programme specifically for me. Following these exercises got me mobile and pain free again and I am now following a modified programme of strengthening exercises to reduce the risk of further injuries in the future. Money well spent on professional, friendly advice and support!

Fantastic experience: I have required treatment for a number of different ailments after a lifetime of sport and activity. Optimal Physio has provided me with highly effective care and treatment on every occasion I have been there. I am always optimistic about recovery after my treatments. High quality care and a welcoming supportive environment is an excellent combination.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service certainly know there stuff and well worth a visit for your ailments

Fantastic experience: I have given optimal a 5 star review because they deserve it my treatment was excellent from the start the largs team are brilliant professional and friendly daniel has been amazing and I have recommended him to everyone I know and happy to do this

Fantastic experience: Excellent communication all the way through. Professional and expert practitioner.

Fantastic experience: Really happy with assessment process and following treatment plan. Natalie is excellent and explains progression clearly. The app showing the exercises with video is helpful.

Fantastic experience: Anna was fantastic!

Fantastic experience: After nearly 1 year of physiotherapy with different consultants, through Anna at Optimal Physio I was able to achieve more in 1 month than I had throughout the entire past year. Thanks to the brilliant work at Optimal Physio, especially Anna, I was able to make a full recovery and have finally managed to get to the gym, after nearly 14 months. Cannot thank Anna enough for her kindness, patience and above all professionalism. Would recommend Optinal Physio to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Update from my first review. I first started going to Optimal Physio in February when I was in so much pain I was taking so many pain killers. I've made so much progress. I recently received a letter about my orthopaedic referral offering an appointment with a physio for an initial assessment apparently! Since I was already attending Optimal Physio it seemed pointless. I had a discussion with my GP. I told him about the progress I'd made at optimal Physio, and that I'd walked 32km the previous week. He said he was quite happy for me to cancel the appointment. My favourite walk is from Glassford street to the Riverside museum and back.

Fantastic experience: Great physio! Natalie is brilliant and very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: 100!% recommend. Excellent treatment.

Fantastic experience: Very proffesional my first visit was very helpful and felt better after first treatment

Fantastic experience: I attended Optimal Physio in relation to a knee injury. I’ve been seeing Natalie and the difference has been incredible. From the very first appointment she took time to understand exactly what was going on, explained everything clearly, and put together a treatment plan that felt achievable. Each session has been a mix of hands-on work and really practical exercises that have helped me get my strength and confidence back far quicker than I expected. Natalie is reassuring, professional, and I couldn’t recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic practice and treatment from Daniel in relation to neck pain. Very professional and seamless customer service from a well run practice. Highly recommend Optimal Physio.

Fantastic experience: A friendly and warm welcome on arrival, with a great depth of knowledge and skill to help you move on to a position of recovery.

Fantastic experience: A friend recommended Andrew to me after years of pain in my knees from playing football. I had been attending Ross Hall with little improvements, after working with Andrew I am now pain free and no longer has knee pain after sport!

Fantastic experience: All staff very friendly. Appointment was very thorough and informative with a realistic plan set to provide treatment.

Fantastic experience: Sinead at Optimal Physio was amazing at getting me race fit for the Glasgow Half Marathon after a repeated calf injury. I completed a rehab package and Sinead was a great support throughout the process, very much a skilled and safe pair of hands. Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: So professional and explaining everything they do

Fantastic experience: I have been subject to having a very severe back pain for a few years. The pain has come and gone slightly but has always been present over this time period. I had tryed a number of different approaches to rid myself of this back pain but nothing got rid of it. I decided to try Optimal Physio as the reviews were all good and the standard of qualifications the physios have at optimal are very impressive. I'm delighted with my decision as I no longer have any pain in my back. Linzi has done a great job and I would highly recommend going to Optimal Physio if you are suffering from a pain.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Linzi for Stimpod nerve regeneration therapy, and it's made a real difference. The treatment has given me focus and much-needed impetus in my recovery journey. Linzi helped identify the root of my pain and provided structure and direction, which has really helped me mentally as well as physically. The regular sessions encouraged me to build better habits – from doing my stretches to walking more and eating better. Just having that routine helped me feel more in control. Linzi always made me feel heard and supported, and her positivity throughout has been a huge boost. If you're dealing with nerve pain and feeling a bit lost, I’d highly recommend giving this a try. It’s helped me take meaningful steps forward.

Fantastic experience: Both Linzi and Anna guided me through my rehab after my knee replacement in a very professional manner. With a suitable exercise regime in place my recovery was truly enhanced. Definite 5 star company, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Sinead was an absolute joy to go through physio and rehab with. She was professional and friendly, taking time to explain the rehab exercises and answer any questions I had. My exercises were emailed to me same day as my appointment, if not within a couple of hours of seeing her. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone seeking physio with any issues they are experiencing.

Fantastic experience: Great service, would like to thank my Physio Najim for his help. I booked a 6 week session to help with hip pain most likely due to distance running. Najim provided me with treatment, strengthening and stretching exercises that could be fit into a busy lifestyle. It now looks like Im back to full strength and able to take part in long distance / ultra running events again. Easy 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Ankle and shoulder pain fully resolved, comprehensive assessment identified the issues quickly with effective rehab plan provided. I saw Natalie and highly recommend her, she is fab.

Fantastic experience: Nice staff, nice environment, professional consultation, good program for returning to full health. Strongly recommend

Fantastic experience: I have been a regular patient with a chronic condition and Steven provides excellent treatment and manages my condition superbly. I recently had a new injury to my lower back and Steven recommended STIMPOD. It’s a new electro therapy that stimulates the nervous system. Best layman description is resets your system over the injured area. It has worked extremely well for me and resolved my issue. I love the fact that the practice embraces new technology and treatment practices and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: First class service. So easy to book an appointment, friendly and helpful reception, excellent facilities. The therapists are absolutely brilliant. Don’t suffer, book Optimal.

Fantastic experience: I thought pain and stiffness were a normal part of ageing and that limits on everyday activities just had to be accepted. Then, over a few weeks, my left shoulder became stiff and painful, I was unable to put on my jacket and the pain kept me awake at night. I attended Steven and after a thorough assessment he diagnosed a frozen shoulder. He prescribed a course of exercises, with a helpful online exercise video, to do between visits. After 6 visits the shoulder regained most of its flexibility and the pain reduced markedly. I continued the exercises until the problem was resolved. I’ve learned that getting old (I’m 71) does not mean you have to accept painful stiff joints.

Fantastic experience: Lovely experience at Optimal physio lovely caring staff

Fantastic experience: I attended your Largs clinic. I can't thank my Physiotherapist, Linzi, enough. Having been diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, she took me on a journey from being in a wheelchair to using a walker then a stick to my walking independently. I felt so safe with Linzi and confident under her care. She also has a lovely warm manner, providing encouragement along the way. I was given exercises to do at home in between each session. (I can highly recommend the Shock Wave Treatment which was performed on my glutes) I never had any doubts Linzi knew how to treat me to get me back to full mobility. Thank you again Linzi.

Fantastic experience: Had an issue with my right knee which was really getting me down. Had a consultation with Anna and went ahead with an 8 week program. Anna was great and took time to listen to my problems, give advice and design a program. By my 3rd visit I really noticed things had greatly improved due to the exercise program she gave me. I have just finished the my block of sessions and now feeling so much better and optimistic going forward. Thank you so much for getting me back on track. Would definitely recommend Optimal Physio.

Fantastic experience: after a serious ankle injury I was told by a doctor I’d be out of exercise for 6-8 week's. After that time I knew something was still very wrong so contacted optimal physio to discuss private care. To find out my recovery would actually be at least 4-5 months with consistent treatment was extremely disappointing, but optimal and Najim were outstanding. The quality of work, level of consideration and genuine care that goes into everything they do makes recovery and rehab 100x easier. I can’t thank Najim enough for his help, if it weren’t for him I would likely have quit football, and be miserable !! Thankfully I’m choosing to continue playing, and comfortably so as my ankle is back better than ever !!

Fantastic experience: I like to know the what, why and wherefore. Natalie has taken the time to explain my injury and the reasoning behind my programme for recovery. This personal level of care and advice is definitely proving to be successful.

Fantastic experience: I injured my shoulder and was able to book an appointment the next working day after my call. I made a speedy recovery following the physio sessions. The staff are very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Can't praise them enough, would highly recommend .

Fantastic experience: Had the best experience with Anna from Optimal Physio. She is so lovely and gentle and made all my visits for my knee extremely pleasant. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Optimal Physio now for A few weeks. I have a sore knee with arthritis and a meniscus tear. I went to physio thinking exercises to strengthen my knee would not work, and I would definitely need key hole surgery to repair my tear and speed my recovery process. However Linzi has been amazing and very supportive and confident that building up my knee gradually using exercises tailored to my individual needs is the correct process for me to follow. Also she advised me not to go for steroid injections too, and allow myself time to build up strength in my knee. I have listened to her advice, taken everything on board, and followed exercises weekly. I have seen great improvements in my knee, and so has Linzi to enable me to walk again freely and pain free and get back to daily routines. I would definitely recommend Optimal physio to others. I have learned that it takes time to see small improvements in my knee, and it’s been a slow process but going at my own pace and not pushing myself to quickly and regularly following the exercises daily, really does work. Thank you so much Linzi.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant treatment and would definitely recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: 1st session at Clarkston. Great Practice, great knowledge from Andrew - in safe hands !

Fantastic experience: Excellent physio service. From the start diagnosis was explained in detail. Exercises were adapted week to week to meet my needs. I’m now on self management and injury is almost completely pain free! A very knowledgeable physiotherapist. Great service.

Fantastic experience: Amazing help from Karen over the last few months at Optimal in Largs. Would highly recomend anyone needing physio support to make Optimal their first port of call.

Fantastic experience: Phoned Optimal Physio for help for help with myDidn't realise I would get an appointment so quickly. I saw Natalie who was brilliant asked me lots of questions. She gave me exercises to do at home, plus sent she also sent the exercises to my phone so I wouldn't forget them. I only needed 2 visits to see Natalie. But would come back if I ever need her again.

Fantastic experience: Great place to have physio, they know their stuff and reasonably priced

Fantastic experience: I was extremely happy with my experience at Optimal Physio. From the first appointment they took time to listen to me and the treatment I received was spot on. Each week my recovery exercises were adapted as needed. The exercises were easy to follow and I’m pleased to say I made a full recovery.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this establishment. They displayed a high level of professionalism and a very comfortable place to visit. Linzi was excellent and provided personalised treatment with excellent results for me. Her expertise was first class and I cannot recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: First class treatment and advice from a fabulous Team, special thanks to Linzi.

Fantastic experience: Linzi was very thorough in her analysis. She listened very patiently to my injury complaints, answered every question I had fully. Looking forward to our next session to check my progress.

Fantastic experience: Great and professional service

Fantastic experience: I had previously seen Steven who was first class for a previous injury but most recently seen Andrew who was incredible. Extremely knowledgeable in his field and breaks everything down to a simple explanation. Would recommend the clinic to anyone, a first class personal service you can trust.

Positive experience: Injured my shoulder + GP recommended physiotherapy. I saw Najim - he gave me specific exercises for my rotator cuff injury & was very helpful & sympathetic. I found the initial recovery very painful but counter intuitively, the exercises eased the pain much more effectively than pain killing medication. Najim assessed 5-6 weeks to recover. I was driving (car) again in about 4 weeks, played some gentle tennis in 5 weeks and am now back having round the golf course. Physio so so much better than painkillers. The issue was dealt with very professionally by Optimal - I only saw Najim, so thank you for your efforts. Jack Whyte.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely first class. Physio was Natalie, extremely helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and came up with a structured plan. Highly recommend. Reception very helpful for setting up appointments too.

Fantastic experience: Company went out their way to provide a triash appointment within 24 hrs. Gave me a 1 hr appointment the following day with treatment and daily excercises. Very pleasant young Ladies. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Once again Optimal Physio has got me back on my feet following orthopaedic surgery. Last year, I had rehab for a knee replacement, this year I had a hip done. Natalie, my physio this time has been great. She did a thorough assessment on my first visit, and tailored an exercise programme to suit my needs ( and push me) at each visit. She listened carefully to me, gave me confidence and always answered any questions I had. I would certainly recommend Optimal Physio. They’re great.

Fantastic experience: Had extremely painful medial ankle ligament for several weeks, issue quickly identified by Linzi, and exercise program quickly improved condition…..great work

Fantastic experience: Warm, Friendly, Helpful every step of the way would recommend for you physio needs.

Fantastic experience: I had been suffering with an ankle issue for a while and couldn’t get to the bottom of it. The team at Optimal took the time to understand the background, what I was wanting to achieve and developed a plan to get me there. They were really supportive and adaptive all the way through treatment and have worked with me to resolve the issue. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Great team and really helped me get the mobility back in my hand recently.

Fantastic experience: Natalie was fantastic, put me at ease and had me pain free quicker than I anticipated!

Fantastic experience: Had a course of physio treatment at Largs clinic - great treatment plan.

Fantastic experience: Anna was lovely very helpful and gave great advice

Fantastic experience: Admin was very efficient. Anna (physio) was very sympathetic and effective (without causing too much unnecessary pain). I'm optimistic that she will get results over the course of my treatment.

Fantastic experience: After seeking treatment in few places that didn't get any results I am pleased that Optimal put me on an effective programme that brought recovery and relief from the nagging pain that I had for over a year before I saw them. More than that the therapist Nour was very positive and encouraged me to start exercising regularly again. Something I've enjoyed all my life and stopped doing a few years ago because of on going health issues.

Fantastic experience: Honestly can't thank steven and his team enough for the care and treatment he's given me over the last few years, true professionals. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I'm very glad that I attended my physio appointment. I have a better understanding of why I'm experiencing pain and a clear plan of action to address this.

Fantastic experience: Always a first class experience.

Fantastic experience: Highly professional and skilled physio. Lyndzi is amazing with excellent supporting input from Steve. Cured my Achilles tendinitis and my frozen shoulder. If you need physio make the Optimal choice.

Fantastic experience: A friendly professional team at Optimal. Productive sessions with Nour & Andy, great home routines offered in support, with really good results! Thank you

Fantastic experience: Initial appointment was great ,discussing my problem first then treatment and massage afterwards was all just what I needed

Fantastic experience: I first used Optimal 6 years ago to help recover from a double leg fracture. I was so pleased with the service that I returned last year when I hurt my back and again this year with a knee injury. Always kind, considerate and chatty, they again helped me to recover. I highly recommend Optimal.

Fantastic experience: Was fortunate to get a consultation with Optimal Physio within 4 hours of contacting them . Steven was excellent, explained in easily understandable detail what muscle I had injured and what exercises to do to ease the discomfort. Will definitely be my first port of call if I need physio in the future.

Fantastic experience: Having used NHS physiotherapists without any improvement on the underlying problem, I turned to Optimal Physio for help. From the outset it was obvious that they took an interest in my health improvement. My physio, Natalie, took the time to explore possible causes of my persistent back pain. She designed an exercise program to tackle the root cause (weak glutes). After three weeks of following her program, which was tweaked to suit progress, the back pain has gone. Steven at Optimal Physio kept in touch by email and SMS offering advice, not only on physiotherapy but on general health. I attended a free talk on how to improve health overall and found it to be very informative and down-to-earth good advice. Natalie, the physiotherapist who treated me encouraged me to get in touch between sessions if I had any issues or questions. I have no hesitation in recommending Optimal Physio and would go so far as to suggest that one should go straight to them instead of the NHS, who, it has been my experience for reasons beyond their control, just don't have the facilities or time to be effective.

Fantastic experience: Really helpful and informative. Were quickly able to assess a lingering injury I had and recommend a course of action.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding. I came out upright.

Fantastic experience: Steven, Meg and team have a passion for what they do. I've been impressed with their service and support after other health providers let me down.

Fantastic experience: I’ve just had a sports massage and with Karen. It was phenomenal. She put me at ease instantly and then focused on the leg I’ve been having a few issues with. I now feel like I could skip out of the appointment!! I walked in with pain and now I’m actually skipping out. Amazing work! And thank you!

Fantastic experience: Optimal Physio expertly diagnosed the root cause of my long term calf issue and I was back long distance running within weeks of my first appointment. A huge thank you to Karen and the whole OP team for all their help.

Fantastic experience: Great service from assessment through to exercise plan lots of encouragement and guidance to reach my goals.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic rehabilitation programme, assistance provided to repair my tendon injury was great! Very very helpful!

Fantastic experience: I had an on-going problem with my knee for about 6 months having visited doctor and physio with little effect. Stephen diagnosed the issue at the initial assessment. The subsequent treatment and recommended exercises were very successful in restoring full functionality to my knee. I would highly recommend Optimal.

Negative experience: I had terrible neck pain and went with confidence due to the many positive reviews on Google. Sadly, I was very disappointed. Firstly, I was seen nearly 15 minutes late, which is fine but not if you don’t receive the full hour you pay for. The appointment lasted just under 40 minutes. I was encouraged to buy a package of sport massages which felt a bit forced. Then when I went home I was in agony for days. I don’t think the pain was correctly diagnosed and the massage that was offered in clinic was probably not the right treatment. I emailed them saying I felt a bit ripped off at £85 for what I got etc. They said they’d book a complimentary hour to see the physio owner. When I couldn’t do the date they offered they gave me another. I turned up to find I was just booked in for 30 minutes with a sports masseuse and not the owner. Upon telling them this wasn’t what was promised, they said the masseuse was also filled in with my issues and knew what to do. When I asked her, she said she had no clue about my issues. . Without due diligence and consideration of what has turned out (upon visiting my GP) possibly a more complicated issue, I was fobbed off and misdirected by the staff of Optimal Physio. The owner did text me to offer to speak to me but once you loose confidence in a place there isn’t much else to say. I held back writing a negative review because it’s not fun to write, but I do feel it’s important for people to know both sides of client experience. I’m sure some people have had good experiences here but unfortunately I’m not one of them. —- Update: The owner did reach out and he gave me a full refund. I am happy that he took it seriously and though I was disappointed about the service I am actually happy to see that an owner cares this much about customer service. Wish his other employee cared as much. Much of customer service is also how a business deals with negative feedback. I’m impressed he turned out to be a fair human being. Thank you and all the best.

Fantastic experience: Optimal Physio really helped with my arthritic knee. The exercises they recommended reduced my pain and increased my mobility. Their app meant that I always had access to the exercises and demos of how to do them correctly.

Fantastic experience: Great results from Optimal physio. My ankle and knee pain was diagnosed as deferred back pain. Working on strengthening exercises I’m now pain free and positive about what I can achieve in the future. Thanks for everything Steven.

Fantastic experience: I had treatment from Linzi for persistent long term Plantar Fascitis pain, Shockwave therapy and physio help from Linzi has hugely improved my situation and I am no longer having the same levels of pain. I now know how to help myself with exercises, stretches etc. I will be back for any issues I have in future.

Fantastic experience: When I first contacted Optimal Physio, I couldn’t move my arm/shoulder. But with the help from Darren & Karen, my shoulder got better. The program I was given, helped a lot & when I needed it changed it wasn’t any problem.

Fantastic experience: Very professional operation. My physio, Karen knew exactly what to do and by implementing her exercises the problem I had with my shoulder is much improved. I'm back golfing!
