JL PhysioFit: Reviews

Anisah A Published on Google 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Natasha for her patience and professionalism. I feel a huge improvement in my shoulder.

Lesley Jones Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent sessions with Rob to support with my TMD pain. The laser and physio has really started to improve my chronic jaw pain. Would highly recommend

Richie Armstrong Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: after years of chronic pain in my lower back and trying most things to help like pilates, standing desks, cushion when driving, injections, etc. nothing really seemed to be helping. I decided to speak to JLPhysio who set me up on a programme with Rob for an initial 12 weeks. Rob sets up stretching and conditioning work specific to my needs and working on these with Rob and at home has been a huge help in reducing the pain. Consistent, specific and professional support from Rob has been hugely beneficial with the added benefit of him trying to help lengthening my golf backswing

Dan Crow Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: I completed a 12-week golf fitness programme with Rob and had a great experience throughout. He put together a really well-structured programme, and at the end we re-tested my strength and flexibility using the same exercises, which made it easy to see the improvements. I’ve got no complaints at all. The programme has massively improved the distance I can hit the ball, and I feel fitter and stronger overall as a result.

Kathleen Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Been to reformer classes with 6 different physios, they have all been exceptional. Challenges if you want them but options if not. Lots of variety with the exercises so you never get bored. Great booking system, you know you have your weekly slots reserved but easy to cancel a class and gain a credit for use when it suits you better. Can't recommend it enough!

Chris Parry Published on Google 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Early intervention of prescribed exercise, laser treatment & encouragement led by Senior Physio Rob Henderson changed my knee from being excruciatingly painful, unable to take my weight to manageable ache and ability to walk normally. Early treatment was key.

Adele Bullimore Published on Google 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: After a shoulder injury continued to get worse I decided to give JL PhysioFit a try as it was recommended my a lady at my gym. I'm so glad I went. Rob diagnosed the problem and reassured me that my injury could be fixed. He found the problematic muscles and gave me some basic exercises to do at home. After four visits and building on my exercises, I'm so much better. My shoulder movement has improved and I'm almost back to normality. I'm able to function normally at work and in every day movement almost pain-free, and, happily, attend my fitness classes again. I've got further physio exercises to continue with and I know it's just a matter of keeping them up for a little longer and I'll be 100%.

Stephen Deakin Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing in every way. Incredible TEAM. Very professional and knowledgable. I feel so much better from going and far more flexible. New, clean and great premises. I would highly recommend. Thank you.

George Frost Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: This was my first experience with back pain, and based on common belief I worried it might be a permanent issue. From the moment I walked in, James instantly reassured me. His knowledge and expertise were clear, and he is genuinely invested in resolving the problem. I am very grateful – highly recommend!

Fiona Stoddart Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been attending JL Physio for the past 6 months for an ongoing injury, I have had for more than a year . I latterly had Rob Henderson , I was listened to and made to feel at ease at all times . I was given comprehensive exercises to do at home and along with the physio sessions I have progressed to where I have minimal pain in doing everyday activities. I would highly recommend JL Physio and Rob Henderson.

Elizabeth Towey Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: JLPhysioFit was a recommendation and I’m so pleased it was! Having suffered with a bad back for years, the sessions here are helping me to manage this long term issue. Each instructor is kind and incredibly supportive. Their breadth of knowledge and willingness to share this, means I feel I am in safe hands, and all the while getting stronger. Thank you!

R Gamlin Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I attended JL Physio over a few weeks suffering from very painful sciatica. Rob Henderson took on my care. We began with a very thorough assessment followed by a few weekly sessions. Rob was very sensitive to my personal circumstances as I was experiencing major mental stress. Some days I was in a lot of pain and Rob took note of this and treated me accordingly. I was given a comprehensive set of exercises to practice at home. I always felt respected and listened to. The facilities at JL physiotherapy are superb. I have completed my course of treatment and will follow up with regular physiotherapist led Pilates classes

Elaine Moran Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have had back problems for many years and have been treated sporadically. I started the laser therapy last September having a treatment plan with six sessions. Well, what difference! My pain levels had decreased massively and I have good movement in all areas of my back. Even the actual procedure is relaxing with a nice warmth. I would heartily recommend this treatment if James and his colleagues suggest trying it.

Antony Heslop Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Natasha dealt with both my wife and myself, treating my wife for a running injury and myself for tendinitis. She was very professional with her understanding of what our situations were and provided clear and concise guidance on a recovery plan. On location, treatments were done very well and we were always made to feel comfortable. My wife has fully recovered from her injury and that’s all down to Natasha’s treatment and rehabilitation plan. Highly recommend.

Erin Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Natasha was excellent to work with, patient and understanding, creating a rehabilitation plan that was adaptable based on my varying needs at each session. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, Natasha’s advice and support have been invaluable so far and I can see the progress I have made.

G Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have seen Bev O’Sullivan for many months after bi lateral knee replacement. Bev is patient but persistent and has helped me to regain full use in both of my knees. When others may have accepted reduced level of movement in my knees Bev encouraged me to continue bending and stretching as much as possible even when I doubted I would ever get the level of movement I craved. I cannot thank her enough for her patience and expertise. She has been integral to my recovery.

Lesley Freeman Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve had an excellent first experience with JL Physiofit Ponteland. Julie was truly welcoming and extremely helpful. I had an assessment appointment to do Pilates with Bev O’Sullivan and felt Bev was clearly a very knowledgeable and experienced Pilates physio who explained everything clearly. And Bev was so very helpful too. My first class basic Pilates already booked.

Philip Bradley Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with Bev at JL Physio fit for issues relating to ankle then shoulder. As someone relatively new to needing physiotherapy Ive found the sessions with Bev very productive in terms of coming to solutions for the problems Ive presented. The exercises recommended are still part of my routine for strengthening and prevention of similar problems.

Paul Scrafton Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have completed the Golf TPI strength and flexibility programme with James and found it extremely useful. Improvements in flexibility and distance, I just need to improve my overall golf game. I am continuing the rolling programme over the winter, working harder on the strength elements in conjunction with Crossfit.

Alan bell Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent TPI assessment carried out by James. He definitely knows his stuff and guided me through the full assessment answering any questions, and believe me there were plenty! All post info was detailed and there are options for 'the next step' in my training. I won't be going anywhere else for my physio needs now.

Victoria McMorrow Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend this physio clinic enough! Both Erhan and Michael are exceptional professionals who genuinely care about their patients' well-being. JL PhysioFit has made a world of difference in my recovery.

Clare Whiteley Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have just completed a course of treatment with Bev O'Sullivan and I cannot recommend her enough. Warm, friendly and empathetic, Bev has sorted my issues and I am now pain free and feel so much better. I had acupuncture which was included at no extra charge. Bev gave me a number of exercises to complete at home which includes an online video in case I need a reminder of how to do the exercises. I wouldn't hesitate to go back if I have any further issues in the future. There is free parking outside as well which is a bonus.

Sarah Hayes Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having just completed physio sessions with James I would recommend his services without hesitation. When I first had an assessment I couldn’t raise my arm up straight and all the muscles were tight across my shoulder/ neck and arm. Sleep was impossible. James listened to my concerns and I was given a good range of exercises to use at home between physio sessions. Now I have a fully functioning shoulder and arm and can sleep. Thank you James

Stacey Welburn Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Being using JL PhysioFit for nearly two months now. What an amazing team. Julie the receptionist is incredible, puts you at ease and always up for a laugh whilst you wait. My physio Bev is a Wonder Woman! Works her magic every week and listens to my woes, doubling up at a therapist at the same time! Couldn’t recommend the team more highly!

Helen Logan Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend JL physiofit enough. I’ve recently undergone laser treatment for my chronic lower back pain and it’s really helped me a lot. I feel like I can start to do the things I enjoy again without being in pain. James has been excellent and has made me feel at ease and comfortable. He is easy to talk to and really understands. Not many people can say they look forward to their physio sessions but I did.

Jane Scott Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was referred to PhysioFit following a whiplash injury. Michael assessed my injuries and took time to listen and consider the best exercises and course of action to alleviate my symptoms. I have been very impressed with my treatment, Michael has worked on my neck to get better rotation in both directions through intensive massage and exercises. I now feel much improved and have no pain in my neck or shoulders. The sessions were enjoyable and I always felt at ease. I would not hesitate to recommend Michael or any member of PhysioFit.

Alan Reed Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love JL PhysioFit and have felt a huge benefit since joining the Pilates class. I wish I’d joined years ago. I’m feeling much more flexible in my body and beginning to do things that I couldn’t do before. My instructor is Michael and he’s brilliant at teaching and makes you feel really at ease. The others in the class are very friendly too. SUSAN REED

G M Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went here with shoulder pain having been at the gym and Bev was my Physio. It is a really convenient location and there is parking on site. The place is clean and everyone is super friendly. Bev has sorted my shoulder and some other underlying posture issues that I was having in about 6 weeks and the new laser therapy that they offer was a game changer for me. Highly recommended.

Diane Searle Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t thank James enough. He’s literally cured me of my lower back pain. From the first consultation James put me at ease with his exceptional level of knowledge and warm & friendly nature. James explained everything to me throughout each stage of the process. As someone who has spent countless £’s on other physiotherapists, this was really important to me. I felt instantly confident in his ability to help me - and I was right. I would (and do) recommend his services to anyone experiencing pain or mobility issues.

Rebecca Lowes Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Michael helped me with leg pain leading up to my first half marathon. I ended up running the whole distance with no pain and was able to enjoy the experience by taking his advice and getting treatment the week before the big run. Would recommend to anyone.

Sharon Oldroyd Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Started treatment in September 2022 after hospital appointments with consultant and scans on my left knee. I booked to see Michael as I was having major pain/grinding noise and unable to do exercise or even walk up/down the stairs properly. He assessed my mobility and strength and developed a tailored, gradual rehab program that has helped me to build strength and confidence in my knee as well as helping me slowly get back into exercising. It's made a vast difference working with Michael as I'm not an easy person to work with and always push myself too far. All my exercises were shared via email and accessible via an app. Now I'm exercising 5 times a week, spinning, strength, cardio, HIIT, rowing and running (I can finally use my home gym). Thank you for your patience and understanding my needs. Would highly recommend Michael and JL PhysioFit.

Hazel Mole Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have recently started the beginners Pilates class and I love it. The instructors are knowledgable and helpful and the other class mates are welcoming. I have never been a one for exercise and that is probably because I haven’t found anything I have enjoyed before. I also have had problems with my hip over the last 5 years which limited my exercise. I recently had a hip replacement so I decided that I needed to try and get fit and keep my new hip moving. At the end of my session I can’t believe that the time is up and that I have enjoyed myself. Where I would normally want to get any exercise over and done with quickly, I could keep going with this session. It is enjoyable but you can feel you are working and especially the next day. If anyone is considering trying the session I would encourage it. The other good thing with this session is you can go at your own pace but if you want to there are things that can make it more effective and the instructors will help with this. The instructors are also physiotherapists so they have added knowledge.

Kim Harle Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'd had months of leg/hip pain (some kind of tendinitis) and after my first session with Michael I knew I was walking better when I went back to my car. Three or four sessions later and there was an amazing difference. Very happy with my first private physio experience and I know where to come if I need more!

ian pearson Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went to see James on a recommendation after I suffered a fall which resulted in me having considerable pain in my neck and left shoulder. James very quickly sussed out the issue and what to work on and provided me with exercises and stretches at home to combine with the work he did and within 6 sessions I can quite honestly say I'm nearly back to my pre accident self. Would highly recommend JL PhysioFit. Thanks for all of your help and support guys.

Preppies Youth Theatre Published on Google 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Michael looked after me after I had been suffering from a sore/bad back for a handful of years. I never did too much about it as I hadn't had an accident, or had any reason for it to be in pain, but it was getting to the point where I would have to lie on the floor to crack my back, put a tennis ball under parts of my spine to realise muscle tension etc. Michael worked with me, giving me exercises to do, taking me into the gym, working on my back and hips and much more in between and I feel so much better. I am building towards swimming again and able to do more than I could, I feel great. So grateful for is help, witty banter and keeping me positive. Legend.

Sarah Connelly Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Michael at JL PhysioFit. I booked to see Michael as I was having regular flare ups of my knee pain. He assessed my mobility and strength and developed a tailored, gradual rehab program that has helped me to build strength and confidence in my knee as well as helping me slowly get back in to running. It made such a difference being able to work with Michael in the studio to understand the exercises, monitor and progress my rehab. All my exercises were shared via email and accessible via an app. There has been no pressure for regular sessions and Michael has kept in touch via email to check in on how I’m doing and continue to reassure and encourage. Thanks again Michael!

Joe Young Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Michael has been great. He is very knowledgeable and has my back, and my golf swing, in a better place than it has been for years. We now have a set of exercises that work for me and have been able to move onto other problem areas. Thanks to all at JL physio fit

Jack Grahamslaw Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: JL PhysioFit offer wonderful professional service and I could not recommend higher. My knee injury was explained fully to me following a thorough examination. I was then given a full rehabilitation programme which worked fantastically well. I am delighted to say that I am well on my way to making a full recovery. Michael Grahamslaw

Sparkey Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went to see Michael twice after I began to suffer knee pain. After the first session he had identified the issue and a week later I went back for my second session and then issue had began to heal and now is completely gone. Sessions bookable to for any schedule you may have, definitely recommend.

Stephen Allen Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Went through a course of physio for my knee with Michael. Not only has he sorted a knee problem going back years but his knowledge to help me manage it long-term are invaluable. Michael is very personable and always ensured that my physio plan met my needs. I'm back to running regularly, and can't thank JL PhysioFit enough for their help and support. It will be the first place I recommend to others.

Tony Hall Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent. I had a course of 6 acupuncture treatments for arthritis in my hands. The treatments have reduced my pain to more manageable levels. James was great in not only the acupuncture but also providing exercises for my shoulders and knees. The communication from James and the team is great. I particularly like the online guide to the exercises which help you remember the details of the moves.

Simon Turner Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: James helped me when my back had taken a nose dive. His exercise regime and suggestion of Pilates has helped me back to full mobility without having to see the surgeon again! A first rate service, James really knows what he’s doing.

Pamela Tregoning Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Michael , he is patient, he listens then he delivers. After months of pain then arranging an appointment and taking his advice I have improved immensely. The rehab is not something that can be rushed. The benefits are amazing. Plus he is a nice guy, easy to talk to.

Robert Taylor Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: A friendly welcome from the Clinic receptionist at JL Physio Fit. My appointment was on time, no long wait sitting in waiting rooms, Michael completely understood my personal circumstances with my back issue, he listened to me about the issues I have been having, he then gave me a technical overview of the likely cause / issue, he gave me some treatment which helped with the pain and discomfort and designed a plan for me to cater for it going forward with a goal to build up my flexibility and core strength, very professional throughout, this has helped immensely and I am glad to say I am feeling healthy and pain free again. The Clinic also offers other services such as Pilates etc, I cannot recommend enough, don't delay, get booked today! Thank you, Michael.

Ellie Turner Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend James and the team at JL PhysioFit who helped me address long standing injuries, and hamstring pain, and allow me to train with confidence and strength. I've learned a huge amount about how to train pain free and manage weaknesses. James is very knowledgeable and careful to plan the right programme and is generous with advice and support.

Linda Anderson Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: JL PhtsioFit were recommended to me by a friend after I had a fall down some stairs and injured my the ligament in the back of my leg. I was a-bit sceptical at first but it was the best thing I ever did. James and his staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and after a period of treatments I have no problem sleeping or walking. I would highly recommend James and his team and I would not hesitate to go back in the future. Linda Anderson

Rob Harris Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Michael took the time to fully understand the nature and extent of the injury, explained what needed to be done in good detail. At each session Michael was very thorough and provided good feedback so we knew exactly where we were at. In the end, we saw a recovery faster than anticipated most of which we credit to Michaels work. We would highly recommend JL PhysioFit.

Brian Welsh Published on Google 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I strained my ITB knee about two weeks before going skiing in February and booked in with JL PhysioFit (in something of a panic). Michael found the time to administer three intensive therapy sessions over ten days to get me back in the game and I managed to get through my ski holiday with (almost!) no pain. Skiing holiday saved saved thanks to Michael's knowledge and not a little effort on his behalf. Thanks guys - I'll be back (just hopefully not too soon/as urgently!)

Jane Holmes Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I attended JL PhysioFit for acupuncture as a means of pain relief due to having fibromyalgia. I was fortunate to have James as my "therapist" and over 5 sessions built up a really good relationship with him and the acupuncture worked really well. In addition, James provided advice on certain exercises to help build up muscle strength. One of the reasons I chose PhysioFit was due to it's location and being able to park without any hassle. Staff are very friendly and accommodating and the premises are done to a high standard. There is even a stair lift for those not quite so able. As a medical professional, I would certainly recommend JL PhysioFit !

Christine Hartridge Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Since October 2021 I have been attending JL Physiofit Pilates classes. Each week I look forward to the class and I have definitely improved in my flexibility, balance and core strength. Given its small classes this gives James and his team the opportunity to give everyone the attention they need. Go ahead and take a free trial session, you wont be disappointed!

Candice Sleight Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I originally saw James for issues with my knee and regularly attend his Pilates classes. I can safely say since starting Pilates, I haven’t had any problems with my knee whatsoever. I really look forward to the classes every week, they’re always fun with a really friendly group of people. I feel stronger than I’ve ever felt and I would 100% recommend James and his Pilates classes.

Richard Ward Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had lower back pains due to sports injuries over many years, which was also causing issues with my neck and shoulders. James has great knowledge & provided me with various exercises and 10 treatment sessions which helped to solve my pain over a 6 month period. I am now able to play much more golf and go to the gym without being in pain. Thank you for all of your help.

Graeme Pike Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Really delighted that the treatment I received from James. He fixed my back injury within a month and I was soon able to continue with my regular gym sessions and yoga practice without fear that the injury would return. The treatment was very comprehensive and I was also treated for other ailments in my neck and shoulder area. The practice is very welcoming and I thoroughly recommend it.

David Baker Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: James is a brilliant physiotherapist. He has looked after me and my niggles & injuries for a little while now and he gets a big thumbs up from me. He's friendly, he listens and is very attentive and I always walk out feeling like a new man! Anyone who needs a physio should stop looking and get in touch with JL Physiofit :)

Andrew Gowens Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: James and his team were very good and dealt with my issue of Plantar really well. Once being allocated Michael as my physio he dealt with my injury and gave me a treatment plan than sorted the issue. I am very pleased with the service. Very much recommended to everyone.

James Henderson Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Michael at JL Physio fit. After going to see James for a number of months I switched over to Michael and the service received continues to be exceptional. After a further injury to my knee from overloading Michael reassessed my needs and has got me back on the road to recovery in a supportive and professional manner. A through assessment quickly identified how the issue had resurfaced and developed a recovery plan with easy to follow strengthening exercises and stretch routine whilst advising on my activity load. Deep tissue massaging has helped to immediately reduce the discomfort . Thank you! As always, the service received by al at JL Physio Fit is 1st class. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Thank you again, Michael and the JL Physio Fit Team.

Fraser Graham Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went to see James at JL PhysioFit for back pain that I was experiencing, causing me great discomfort. After the very first session to help relieve the pain through massage, it was immeasurably better. James is extremely knowledgeable, and gave fantastic advice about what could have been causing the pain, and through discussion around stretching, and small changes I could make in the way that I manage the issue day to day, it continues to be less of a problem. After every session I’ve had with James since, the time between noticing the pain and requiring any assistance lengthens. I genuinely can’t recommend James and the team at JL PhysioFit highly enough.

Gary Robertson Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Outstanding Physiotherapist. Very clean and well presented. James and the team have such a welcoming and professional environment that is bright and friendly. The staff have fantastic knowledge, getting to the core of the issue to help put a workable plan together. Would highly recommend.

Lucy Harrison Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: If I could rate more stars I would. I’ve been seeing James for my shoulder injury and also issues with my lower back. With James guidance and advice and rehab programme I’ve been able to feel confident in going back to the gym and knowing I’m not going to hurt myself further. He has helped me work through injury and really listens to what the issue is and gives me advice tailored to me and it’s not just generalised! Both James and Julie are so welcoming that you are put at ease the moment you walk in. I’d definitely recommend the physio but also the Pilates classes too!

Steve Brown Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic physio experience with James. As a professional climber with an active lifestyle I endeavour to look after my mind & body. It’s really important to me to work with a physio I can trust and rely upon. Today he identified the torn muscle tissue in my arm, eased the pain, and has set me up with 3 exercises to do and an open ended appointment in 2 weeks if problems persist. At Newcastle Tree Services Ltd we send all our climbers and ground staff to James for any injuries we incur. Thank you James.

Danielle Gallagher Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been attending James’ Pilates classes both in the studio and via Zoom. I started off as a complete novice and couldn’t believe the progress I made with each week. James is a fantastic instructor and works well with each individual reagardless of their capability. Would definitely recommend.

cheryl watson Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had problems with my knee for the last couple of years, had seen two other physio’s prior, but with limited results. Was recommended James through a friend and he’s been great. Very knowledgeable and gave me a thorough plan to work on strengthening my knee. After six weeks, I’ve started light running again and feeling much more confident in my knee. Would highly recommend.

Karen James Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I attended Physio with James for six weeks. I can seriousley recommend if you have any problems to go. I found it difficult at the start but not only with his programme but also with his encouragement and belief and following his positive guidance I have now turned a corner not only has the problems I had disappeared I am feeling a lot more confidant.

CRaig Smith Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went to James after struggling for years with a long term golfing shoulder injury, after assessing the injury I underwent hands on treatment and worked through rehabilitation exercises in the studio with James. I saw a vast improvement in performance on the course as well as an immediate easing of the pain and discomfort after play. I’d highly recommend James to anyone who is experiencing a limitation in their golf swing !

Richard Dodd Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have recently been treated by James and I found his treatment excellent. James was very thorough in his assessment and his knowledge base was fantastic. He helped me understand my issue in a way I could relate, which I found other physiotherapist I have seen did not. One of the things that was outstanding was the time James spent to understand me as a person, and he really put emphasis into building a relationship. This made me feel at ease straight away. I would recommend James as his treatment and knowledge is of the highest quality.

Guy S Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great set up at JL Physiofit! Had a course of physiotherapy for low back pain that I have had on and off for years. James explained the problem thoroughly and that in order to improve for the long term I would have to introduce exercises regularly into my weekly routine. Treatment involved a combination of dry needling and hands on work before progressing into the studio. I was able to learn the correct technique which allowed me to do my home exercises more effectively. Can’t recommend the practice highly enough. I’ve joined the zoom Pilates classes until the live ones open up again. Thanks James

Louise Mair Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: James and his team are excellent! Always a friendly and professional service. When I went to see James with hip pain, he understood that I didn't want to be told to ease off the running, and instead he provided me with therapy and exercises that have allowed me to keep going. I would highly recommend!

Spencebsc2005 Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: James and his staff all provide an extremely personal service and ensure that the atmosphere is nice and calming, very professional and also friendly. James is approachable which definitely made me feel a lot more positive and relaxed about what I needed to do recovery wise moving forward. Things were explained in a much more comprehensive but simple way at JL Physiofit. The clinic itself is easy to get to, extremely clean, spacious and also has a studio for classes such as pilates. I recommend JL Physiofit.

Benjamin Freel Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I booked in with James after suffering with back and neck pain for almost a year. I work as a builder and so relentless strain has began to take its toll. He was incredibly knowledgeable and did a thorough assessment of my problems. Sent me home with a meticulous plan to improve my flexibility and strength which has started to show positive signs. Booked into Pilates just to see what it was all about and I have to say, even as someone who was slightly sceptical about it, it really does help, so I’m sticking with it! Thank you James, see you next week on Zoom!

Cathryn Harvey Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can recommend JL PhysioFit without hesitation. James is an extremely skilled physiotherapist and a very pleasant and friendly person too. He has looked after me so well for a number of years and was particularly thorough in researching an unusual issue with my feet, providing a very effective solution. His Pilates classes are also excellent as he takes a keen interest in the safety and development of every individual. You will receive a great service from JL PhysioFit.

William Lawrence Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The best Physio in the north east! I started using JL Physiofit around a month ago and have seen a massive improvement since working with them! James is highly professional and understands my neck issue completely! They’re clinic is to a high standard, both in equipment and in personnel. I wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending James and his team at JL Physiofit to anybody!

Moving Bodies Moving Mind Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: A beautiful clinic and brilliant physiotherapist in the heart of Ponteland. James is a highly skilled and knowledgable physiotherapist, with empathy at the core of his practice. He treat me for a number of years as a dancer whilst I was working professionally and whilst recovering post- professionally. His Pilates classes are also fantastic if you’re looking to stay fit and healthy, whilst being part of a wonderful community. I feel in very safe hands under his care and would recommend to anyone.

Doreen Patterson Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: James has a wealth of knowledge and experience and his friendly but professional approach puts you at ease right away. Whether having treatment or joining his brilliant pilates classes, his premises are welcoming and have a lovely calming ambience. I have no hesitation in recommending JL PhysioFit

Josh Allison Published on Google 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went to see James a few weeks ago for what felt like a dull pain in my shoulder blade. After a few minutes James identified the source of the issue and got straight to fixing the issue. After two sessions and workouts to do at home the pain has gone! Couldn't recommend James more for any issues that you have! James always made sure to run any treatment past me first and make sure I was happy with what he was planning to do, definitely knows his stuff

Fantastic experience: Went to see James for a lower back pain that has troubled me for years. Always had physio on and off through the years, which does help with pain management but his approach was different. He took the time to explain not only the diagnosis but what was driving the problem and how to get truly better. I’ve just finished a 12 session rehab programme and my back is feeling great. I understand now why I’m doing an exercise and how to progress it on so I continue to strengthen. Would highly recommend JL PhysioFit, thank you for all you have done James.

Fantastic experience: James is brilliant! He's sorted out a reoccurring back problem that I've had for a number of years, fab Physio, and they have the added bonus of a pilates studio as well, the classes are super and really help build up muscles and keep you strong, everyone is lovely in the classes too which is always a bonus! I would 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: I saw James for lower back pain recently. He was very thorough in his consultation and assessment. After a few sessions with James I have regained strength in my back and the pain and discomfort has eased dramatically. Alongside my sessions he provided me with invaluable exercises to do at home. The new practice is superb and covid compliant. 5 star physio from me!

Fantastic experience: I have had years of knee problems from old and more recent injuries, but since visiting JL PhysioFit James has really helped. My range of movement is almost fully back and any pain after exercise is now completely gone. I couldnt reccomend James highly enough, a truly professional service and highly skilled and knowledgable to go alongside that.

Fantastic experience: Visited JL PhysioFit recently with shin splints and my recovery could not have gone any better. From the initial appointment, to the advice, physio exercises and follow up from James, it was top class all round. James is an expert in his field, making you feel very relaxed and comfortable. Only weeks since my initial appointment, I am back running after following the detailed physio plan I was set. I could not recommend JL PhysioFit more highly! Thanks for all your help.
