Response Physio Worcester: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My shoulder feels better after visit to Sameera Dolla. Its improving but still a way to go.
Fantastic experience: Highly recomend! Professional! Very friendly staff. Looking forward seeing you again
Fantastic experience: Tired of waiting to hear back after my self referral to the NHS physio, I looked up my nearest private option and booked. I have had a few sessions now with Sameera for frozen shoulder and have recovered so much mobility that had been lost. Still a few more sessions required but worth the effort.
Fantastic experience: Great, really helped me after a neck injury.
Fantastic experience: I have recently had a number of appointments with Sameera who has helped me with my sciatica. She was very friendly and knowledgeable giving me exercises to support as well as some effective treatment.
Fantastic experience: Incredible - i was struggling to lift my shoulder which was really hampering me. A few sessions with Sameera and i am all set to go again. She has taken time to understand my issue and how it impacts my life and has worked to find a solution, and provided advice to avoid again in the future. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Sameera is brilliant, she is always explains the treatment. Very clear, magic hands and knowledge
Fantastic experience: I was very happy with the expert care and advice offered. I wasn't sure what to expect but felt that the spacing of consultations enabled good progress to be monitored and now my knee is completely better. I've yet to see a photograph of a man's knee that looks appealing so I will not be posting a snap of the result. Suffice to say that it is doing its job very well indeed!
Fantastic experience: David Merlin is a top Physiotherapist & a gentleman. I received several physio sessions with him, which significantly helped my recovery after a high speed car collision. He recognised my lower back pain symptoms as a hip alignment issue & gave me simple exercises to rectify the issue. After each session my back pain reduced. Without hesitation, I highly recommend him 100%. Many thanks

Fantastic experience: Excellent Physio. Sameera is very good at her job. She's gentle but at the same time knows my limits before I do. She gives exercises that work and can be done whilst at home. I can't say if physio will completely help my knee however it's definitely playing a massive part in helping it feel normal again after injury and would highly recommend Sameera and Response Physio Worcester.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending physiotherapy sessions with Sameera Dolla, and she has been absolutely amazing. She’s incredibly patient, listens carefully, and is able to quickly identify the root cause of the problem. The treatment she provides is clearly effective, and I’ve noticed steady improvement in my condition week by week. I would definitely recommend her!
Fantastic experience: "I came to see David Merlin for a persistent upper back issue that hadn't improved for months. From the first session, I was impressed by their thorough assessment and ability to explain exactly what was going wrong in a way that made sense. They haven’t just treated the symptoms; they gave me a clear, manageable recovery forecast. I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend! Looking forward to hopefully full recovery and getting back to boarding and biking

Fantastic experience: I've been struggling with a knee 'niggle' now for over 2 years that slowly became more persistent and more painful to the extent I cant run the distances I want. I went to see other physios but couldn't solve it. I went to see David Merlin and he quickly got to the cause of the problem and with my first session and exercises that followed have already started to get back to the running I want. Fantastic!
Fantastic experience: Helped me out when I'd been previously misdiagnosed, thankyou Sameera!
Fantastic experience: Sameera has been great
Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely outstanding physiotherapist! From the very first session, he took the time to really understand my son’s condition and explain everything clearly. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care made a huge difference to my son’s recovery. David tailored a treatment plan eased my son’s pain. He’s patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled — sessions felt productive and positive. I can’t recommend David Merlin highly enough for anyone needing physiotherapy. He truly goes above and beyond for his patients! Susannah Griffiths
Positive experience: David focused on my symptoms, rather than my perception of what the problems were, and quickly identified the actual cause of my aches. My aim was not to end up with a cure but instead to understand how they could be managed and this is exactly what I got - so a good result all round
Fantastic experience: David offered easy to follow advice and just 1-2 simple exercises helped eliminate my lower back pain and feeling of sciatica.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional physio, with good administrative support. Received some great advice and targeted exercises to resolve an ongoing sports injury.
Fantastic experience: I have been extremely happy with the course of physiotherapy i have recently received at RESPONSE PHYSIO and would fully recommend their expertise to anyone requiring the service. Staff are extremely well prepared in assessing the requirements of their clients and carefully work with you to reach a successful course of exercises or relevant Treatment/massage. Being an elderly person I found the Staff very respectful when dealing with my requirements; fully documenting procedures (via e-mail) and exercises to assist with an easy to follow course in my own home environment.. Well done to them. Thank you.....
Fantastic experience: I went to see Jesinth after injuring my knee, which was stopping me from walking, running and playing tennis. Over the course of an assessment and two follow-up sessions he identified the damaged tendon, provided some sports massage and set me a plan of stretches and exercises which, together with the prescribed rest, have almost entirely fixed the problem over the course of seven weeks. I am back walking and playing tennis again as before, and have started running again and am building up distance and intensity as agreed with Jesinth. I am so pleased to be active again sooner than I was expecting, and hugely grateful for Jesinth’s help!
Fantastic experience: Last week David Merlin and his student physio probably saved my life. I commented that my legs no longer looked like a pair, jokingly thinking this was a side effect of recent hip replacement surgery. They immediately told me I had a DVT and sent me straight down to A and E where the diagnosis was confirmed. Thank you David, I shall be forever grateful to you and your student. I would give you 1000 stars if I could!
Fantastic experience: David is helping me with my shoulder and neck issues. He is professional and knowledgeable. Treatment is ongoing with some shoulder manipulation and pressure point massage along side exercises/stretches. I would recommend him to anyone.
Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad to hear that our physio team provided professional help for your back issues. We appreciate your recommendation. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to contact us.
Fantastic experience: I’ve visited Dave Merlin for 2 appointments and he’s helped me so much best physio I’ve seen in years old school no nonsense approach
Fantastic experience: Jesinth was my physio over a few months as I sought to manage arthritis in my knee and a bicep tendon injury. I could not be happier with the treatment I received. He did a full assessment and undertook reviews as we progressed. I was provided with a diary sheet so I could record my exercises and make notes of any concerns. He was interested in what | wanted to achieve longer term, and so treatment was also tailored around this. I could also e mail him in advance of sessions with an update and what advice I wanted - so we therefore maximised the time in the session. I am now back to weight training properly. Jesinth is extremely professional but with a friendly manner and I would recommend him to anyone!
Fantastic experience: David was very helpful and identified my problems quickly and effectively. He explained what he was doing and why clearly and simply. Initial treatment was good and he provided me with exercises that will help prevent my current issues from becoming a long term problem.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this service, I was in a car accident at 50 MPH it left me unable to move complete simple tasks and spend time with my family without pain, because of the insight from David I started getting movement and have now been able to move without pain. With every session I got Motability back and also my life back. I would recommend this for anyone I knew that was struggling with sports injuries or car accidents or even just getting better mobility. cant thank them enough!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Service. David Merlin was very helpful. Very knowledgeable and professional. Excellent advice and personal service Thankyou
Fantastic experience: Had to see physio due to terrible back pain following lifting something too heavy. I ask Jesinth to perform magic to make the pain go away and he did. Very knowledgeable and caring. After the session I was given follow up exercises and within a few days was lots better. Follow up appointments were made at convenient times for me. Would highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Jesinth was great! He told me why each of the exercises he set me would help, and he encouraged me to still do exercise classes etc as long as they made me happy. The power of mental health in support of physical! I would definitely use him again. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Jesinth is an excellent Physio, very knowledgeable and able to well apply this practically. Overall a very good service.
Fantastic experience: I have had some sessions with Jesinth at Response following an injury to my knee; I do a lot of walking & carrying heavy weights for work so needed to get back up to strength. We worked through exercises to get me back up and running and all of the advice was brilliant. Many thanks Jesinth!
Fantastic experience: Jesinth was very informative from start to finish and I have my Achilles has made a full recovery. The quality of treatment was outstanding. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Jesinth Alagesan has been a really excellent support in my recovery from injury, across two very helpful visits. His assessment and advice have been very specific, accurate and tailored to my sporting goals. As a result, I have recovered much faster than I expected and now have a really helpful plan for ongoing recovery and training. I suspect that my likelihood of future injury is also significantly reduced. I am super grateful for his effective and practical approach - very many thanks
Fantastic experience: Great service from Jesinth Alagesan at David Lloyd in Worcester Very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Jesinth worked out a great exercise plan with practical demonstrations, videos and email copies of the regime. Adding and removing elements as necessary as progress was made. All of which really helped with my knee problem. I would not hesitate to recommend a visit.
Fantastic experience: Very conveniently located near to my home address. Therapist was very knowledgeable, helpful and informative. He advise me on the best course of action and he prescribed exercises which helped with my recovery. It also helped having face to face sessions as opposed to virtual/telephone sessions. The only thing to call out is there is no waiting area at this location (within David Lloyd Leisure Centre).
Fantastic experience: I’d been dealing with hip pain for a while, and working with Jesinth made all the difference. He was professional but also very approachable—he took the time to listen to what was happening and actually got to the bottom of what was causing my pain. He was polite and genuinely helpful, always ensuring I felt comfortable and knew what was happening. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great physio!
Fantastic experience: Jesinth Alagesan was very knowledgeable and gave me some great exercises to aid my recovery
Fantastic experience: Jesinth is a very polite and knowledgeable gentleman. After 4 sessions and continued exercise my wrist and back pain eased so much.
Fantastic experience: Jesinth helped me to get over a persistent knee issue that has stopped me from running regularly for several months. He gave detailed explanations of exercises to do in the sessions (which he also always emailed straight away) and adjusted them depending on my progress week on week. The exercises provided were also personalised depending on the equipment I had at home which was very helpful for me. He would also encourage me to email progress in between sessions so he could give advice. I’m still hoping to be able to increase my mileage over the next few weeks/months, but I can now run 3 times a week again for the first time in about 6 months with no issues which I am very happy about! Thank you Jesinth!
Positive experience: Detailed information of cause and treatment and exercises backed up with videos confirmed by email. Friendly and informative during visit. Liked use of video to confirm details for future reference with Jesinth talking over to explain.
Fantastic experience: Really happy with my physio appointment today. Jesinth listened really well and took a holistic and practical approach to the issues. Many thanks.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, given good exercises to get back to fitness.
Fantastic experience: I've been treated by Jesinth for a number of weeks for a pain in my knee. Jesinth works holistically, not just addressing the joint, or even the limb, but has an emphasis on being well with sleep, water intake, warm up/cool down, heat treatment, as well as working with the physio exercises that we are all familiar with. I can definitely see a reduction in pain already, and saw my parkrun times improve as a positive incidental! Jesinth provides clear instructions for exercises, adjusting them appropriately and I've found the videos that he has provided and taken of me doing exercises (on my phone) really helpful to remember what to do. I am optimistic that things will get better.
Fantastic experience: Jasinth has helped me with physio for a knee injury over the last few weeks. He is very knowledgeable and experienced for a young man.

Fantastic experience: Great team of physio’s who have helped fix and mend me to get be back to full duties

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Jesinth for sports massages since start of year and have seen a massive improvement in my recovery. Not only does he provide a quality sports massage service, I have found the advice he provides to support recovery and prevent injury to be extremely useful, including providing a mobility warm up routine before working out.
Fantastic experience: I had several sessions of Physio with Carl for a lower back/hip issue that was causing me pain and mobility issues. Within the first couple of sessions with the exercises he recommended and hands-on therapy the pain was much reduced and after a few more sessions gone completely. Carl was great to deal with and explained everything clearly and professionally. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had a sports massage from Jesinth yesterday, with 6 days until my marathon this was exactly what I needed and Jesinth really went to town on my legs ironing out the knots. Excellent.
Fantastic experience: Jesinth is great. He fully recognised the need for me to get back to sport as soon and as safely as possible and has equipped me with the exercises I needed for that. He has made modifications as needed and helped me with my recovery, when I feared my injury might prevent me from playing sport again. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Just completed my course of physio at Response Physio & Sports Therapy with the very nice Jesinth Manohar Lagesan.

I would highly recommend contacting Response Physio if you're suffering with any mobility issues. Thanks to Jesinth for his help and advice. Dean

He is really friendly, professional and accommodating and I wouldn’t go anywhere else now for physio. Thanks Carl and Response Physio!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been visiting Jesinth at Response Physio for over 5 weeks, I’ve been having physio for my Plantar fascia. Over several weeks Jesinth gave me various exercises to do at home which have made a dig difference to my day to day life, I no longer hobble around the house in the mornings. I know it’s going to take time before I’m back to normal but I know I’m on the right track thanks to Jesinth.
Fantastic experience: Jascinth is a fantastic physio, positive, friendly and professional, he takes an holistic approach and gets results. I’ve improved really quickly. Thank you. The only thing I would mention (not Jascinth’s fault) is that the waiting area could do with being restored please. The useful/injury-friendly bench has been replaced with merchandise.
Fantastic experience: Jenith has been very good. Excellent treatment and good follow up exercises. My injury is improving week by week and the steady trajectory is just what is needed.
Fantastic experience: Excelent service, lovely staff, always well informed. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I had physio with Carl on monday great experiance
Fantastic experience: Recovering from a severe bike accident with significant facial and neck injuries Carl at Response Physio really guided, supported, and directly positively impacted my recovery with the correct program of physio. I am in a much better place now to get back to cycling again and could not have done this without the physio and Carl’s support.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and knowledgeable. I saw Carl who was lovely.
Fantastic experience: Professional, friendly & bespoke service. I have had a block of physio sessions with Karan & every session has been excellent. I have had a wide range of treatments including; stretches, massage, strengthening work & acupuncture. I was provided with a personal stretching program to complete in between sessions & my sciatica & pain has completely gone. I highly recommend him. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Response Physio and Sports Therapy for a course of 6 sessions to assess and treat sacroiliac joint pain and numbness. Following a very thorough triage and deep tissue massage, Carl gave me a rehab plan for hips and core. This was subsequently reviewed at the beginning of each session and adjusted according to progress and any issues raised. I have now completed the 6 sessions. I no longer experience any pain or numbness and am already noticing great improvement in muscle strength and ease of movement. Carl has advised me how to continue with and build on his rehab plan. Carl is extremely professional, and as an excellent sports therapist helped me to realise the importance of dealing with any physical limitations through exercise.
Fantastic experience: I was sent to this two great physios on behalf of my private healthcare provider.....after 6 weeks of physio (for a trapped nerve) I can honestly say things are so much better.
Fantastic experience: I have been using Carl in Worcester for a while now and I can honestly say he is a life saver. He is professional, knowledgable and always has an answer for my ailments. As a personal trainer, I often recommend him to clients as I trust his knowledge and know I can work alongside him with my clients to get them moving better.
Fantastic experience: I had been dealing with chronic pain for a couple years, and had been back and forth between other physios and the GP. When I came for my first session with Karan, I was willing to try anything. He made a massive difference in only one session, and I really hadn’t been expecting it to work so instantly. The follow up sessions, exercises and the dry needling that I received have been so effective; it’s now been almost 5 months since I had any pain, and I didn’t think that was possible. Thank you so much to Karan for his great work! It was nothing short of life changing for me, and I feel like I’m back to my old self again.
