Barefoot Physio Exeter

Positive experience: Once I was put into contact with Barefoot Physio I received a very prompt friendly and efficient service. Elly Skinner provided a truly thorough and professional assessment and explained how to proceed and correct a very painful trapped nerve. Very grateful for a wonderful service. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I had treatment with Elly for a running-related hip injury which later turned out to be a femoral neck stress fracture. What really stood out to me was that even before I had my MRI, Elly’s initial assessment and concerns turned out to be very accurate. I really appreciated that Elly didn’t just jump straight into aggressive treatment, massage or “cracking things” for the sake of it. She took the time to properly assess what might actually be wrong and approached everything very carefully and professionally. Once I contacted my GP, I also felt I could really rely on Elly. She wrote a detailed letter for my GP to help explain the situation, and throughout the whole process she stayed in contact with me by email as well. It made such a difference knowing I could ask questions whenever I was unsure or worried about something. Throughout the whole experience, Elly was incredibly kind, supportive and reassuring during a very stressful time. I never felt rushed and always felt listened to. She genuinely cared about my wellbeing, not just treating symptoms. I would absolutely recommend Elly and the Barefoot team to friends and family. Especially for runners or active people dealing with injuries, having someone who truly listens and tries to understand the root cause makes such a difference. Thank you again for all your help and kindness ❤️

Fantastic experience: I went to go see Victoria (the postpartum physio) during my pregnancy as I was experiencing pelvic girdle pain, and after my pregnancy to have an overall check (pelvic health, abdominal health, strength). I cannot recommend her enough Victoria has such a warm and thoughtful approach. Her assessment was thorough and she was very strengths focused which made me feel more confident to return back to exercise in a safe way. She understands the demands of being a parent and it’s realistic in her treatment plans whilst still challenging you.

Fantastic experience: I went for a Bike Fit and saw Rebecca. I was suffering from considerable discomfort on long rides. After the bike fit session I have been transformed and can now ride pain free. Rebecca is incredibly knowledgable and professional and also gave me some great advice to improve my riding through strength and conditioning advice and potentially changing my saddle. I would definately recommend seeing Rebeeca at Barefoot Physio.

Fantastic experience: Fran at Barefoot Physio Exeter is a genuinely kind and thoughtful practitioner and I've always felt completely at ease in her care. I've benefitted from having massages from her which have helped me release tension and relieve stress. She's warm, professional and very skilled at what she does. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone considering having a massage.

Fantastic experience: This is the second injury I have had and both times Ellie is a brilliant physiotherapist. She has helped me fully recover from a hip injury and is now helping me with a lower back injury. Ellie has a friendly and professional manner about her and gives a diagnosis followed by a clear exercise and treatment plan. Every exercise shown and explained what and why it's being used, access to an app with all videos off the exercises you have to do.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommended these guys highly enough. After 3 sessions the improvement in my lower back pain is remarkable (even just after one session to be honest!). Lots of great, practical advice and expertise from James, the lead physio.

Fantastic experience: I have been running for the past 3 years and decided to race in the past 2 years. After a recent race I developed peroneal tendinopathy which is inflammation on the foot tendon. An injury I had never faced before. After some great recommendations from my run club I booked an initial assessment with Elly Skinner who was really professional and gave simple breakdown of the symptoms and we created a recovery schedule involving strengthening and stability of the affected areas. Needless to say after following the program I finished Exeter Half Marathon with minimum pain and now preparing myself for the Great Western Run! I would definitely recommend Barefoot Physio if you need individual and professional advice. Beray

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience here! i've been struggling with tendon pain in both my Achilles on and off for years, and it got so bad last summer i could hardly walk. Elly was able to prescribe simple exercises that immediately provided relief and also long term healing. im now starting running again which i never thought id do. Cant recommend enough, if you've got pain, go and get it sorted!

Fantastic experience: Elly was brilliant as knee kept swelling and difficult to walk some days so gave exercises which have helped a load. Thank you for your help and highly recommend her if anyone has any issues

Fantastic experience: I am a cyclist with knee pain that has been keeping me off the bike. Rebecca spent the time necessary to confidently diagnose the issue before providing effective treatment and further exercises for me to do at home. Very impressed with the whole experience. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Barefoot Physio, especially Elly. She is very thorough, explains everything clearly and is super supportive. All correspondence with Barefoot has been great and efficient.

Fantastic experience: I have really benefitted from and enjoyed working with Elly. I have had longstanding difficulties with my ankle and recently injured it running. Elly has helped in creating a structured but realistic plan, cheering the little milestones and improvements made. She has been really helpful in her positivity and her understanding that physio exercises have to slot into the rest of my life. Finally, things are actually wildly improved with my ankle and running and overall strength. I very much recommend Elly and Barefoot!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Elly was patient, understanding, and addressed the sessions with a holistic approach.

Fantastic experience: Really happy with treatment from both Rebecca and John, they got me back up and running with an easy to follow plan and regular check-ups to adapt the plan when needed. Very knowledgeable and gave me confidence to continue.

Fantastic experience: I saw Elly several times during the physio for my lower lumbar spine disc bulge. I found everything about Elly and the service to be friendly, bespoke, inclusive compassionate and most helpful of all, giving me a course that worked around the status of my injury and my lifestyle. It felt very can do and encouraging. The exercises were supporting in clinic and shared clearly for use at home or gym. I feel like I am making the progress I need. Highly recommend- thank you!

Fantastic experience: I came to Barefoot to see James for a lateral meniscus tear after plateauing with rugby-specific rehab. From the start, James stood out for his clarity and depth. He explained the research behind what we were doing and backed it up with practical, hands-on examples that actually translated into progress. We focused on strengthening through deep ranges of movement and improving lateral stability. The results have been huge. I can now run for hours at a time and train on consecutive days with a massive reduction in symptoms. James is also helping me recondition a sensitive back through progressive concentric loading of the spine, which has already led to a clear reduction in discomfort and improved confidence in movement. I’m 21 and have around seven years of experience with physiotherapy, and James’s direct, no-nonsense approach has been the most effective rehab I’ve had. The clinic itself is excellent: great facilities, a calm environment, and a strong balance between high-tech testing like VO₂ max treadmill analysis and classic weights for practical demonstrations. I recommend Barefoot to anyone dealing with sports injuries or longer-term issues who wants clear explanations, evidence-based rehab, and real progress.

Fantastic experience: Great Help

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough about every one at Barefoot Physio. I injured my back a few months ago. With the support from James, as well as Ellie and John, I have made steady progress. James has helped me understand my back pain and provided a range of tools to help me heal as well as reassurance when I have had flare ups (mostly when I have tried to do too much too soon!). With their support I feel confident I will recover fully from this episode of pain, stronger than I was at the start. I would recommend Barefoot to anyone who needs support learning to understand, manage and overcome pain and injury.

Fantastic experience: Had an amazing prenatal massage with Fran. Massage was tailored to needs and helped release a lot of tension. Fran was really friendly and professional and took the time to discuss and explain needs, ensure I was comfortable and the pregnancy pillow was a revelation. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic therapy, very informative and got me back to full health within a measured amount of time.

Fantastic experience: So glad a friend of a friend recommended this place. While recovering from a long period of various illnesses, I came down with a cripplingly painful back. James has helped me enormously with a combination of supervised and online exercises, knowledgeable advice and manipulation. It's such a relief when you know you've come to the right place to get the help you need!

Fantastic experience: I was able to get an initial appointment quickly, when I really needed it. Thanks to Elly, her skills and care, I was quickly on the mend and more mobile again.

Fantastic experience: Injury through work, had multiple physios before with little to no improvement. James sorted me out and gave me a lot of confidence going forward.

Fantastic experience: Rebecca was great and helped me in my rehab. She was very knowledgable and professional throughout. I would recommend her and barefoot to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Helped me sort out an issue that multiple other physios failed to diagnose. By far the best I've seen. James Morgan was so knowledgeable and the holistic approach really worked for me.

Fantastic experience: I booked an appointment at Barefoot because I was experiencing bad hip pain after running that didn't ease with rest. This was really to do online. Elly Skinner expertly diagnosed the problem in my first session and then guided me through a 6 months course of rehab. Elly listened carefully to my issues and aims, and we designed an exercise programme that now has me back running and pain free. Generally I feel much stronger and fitter than before too, so it's been transformative. I recommend Barefoot without hestitation!

Fantastic experience: Huge thank you to Elly for her support, guidance & expertise to deal with my sciatica!! Never had an injury like it before, and felt lost trying to do my own research online with no improvement. Working with a specialist in Elly was a game changer, she is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I am still impressed with her 3 month recovery estimate being spot on!! I would highly recommend her, and Barefoot. If I ever have to deal with an injury again - she will be the first person I contact.

Fantastic experience: After having to cut short a cycling holiday due to knee pain I was referred to Barefoot Physio. After a full checkup I was given some exercises which were really simple to do and I was given access to an excellent app which has videos of how to do them. This was great as it's easy to forget how to do them correctly. As Rebecca also does bike fit sessions, I felt she really understood cycling related issues. This made me feel quite confident that the effort I was putting into doing the exercises would help. Previously I had seen physiotherapists that didn't give me the impression they "got" the issue. After two months of doing the exercises I competed a three day extremely hilly tour of Exmoor with zero knee pain. Thank you Barefoot Physio!

Fantastic experience: Barefoot physio is a small friendly family run business, which makes you feel very welcome right from the beginning of your consultation and treatment. Elly Skinner was my physiotherapist and she knew within minutes after my examination what my problem was, and how to fix me. Shockwave and physiotherapy, also a set exercise plan, got me pain-free within the course. Anna on reception also gets a mention, being super friendly and making sure my appointments were sent through to me in plenty of time. I would certainly recommend Barefoot physio to anyone who has mobility problems. 5 stars

Fantastic experience: Superb staff

Fantastic experience: I had 6 sessions with Elly Skinner at Barefoot Physio and was delighted with the help she gave me. She was knowledgeable and understanding and definitely taught me the exercises to improve the strength and mobility in my right leg to compensate for the OA in my knee. Very grateful for the help she gave me and can’t recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Had a nagging issue on my lower back due to being stationary at work. Had physiotherapy with Rebecca, was welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, guidance was clear, what stood out for me was the booking comms and physio app as part of the treatment which helped with reminders and steps to carry out that plan. I can see my improvements being fixed over the weeks and now to be part of my daily routine to maintain it long term. Would recommend to friend or colleague. Thankyou :)

Fantastic experience: Elly was / is amazing! She helped me over 6 sessions sort out some pretty gnarly shoulder issues. I’ve had sports massage therapy here as well and that was also amazing!

Fantastic experience: Really impressed with their caring and professional service.

Fantastic experience: Quality physiotherapists covering all aspects of musculoskeletal issues, supported by massage, movement training and now stretch and relax sessions all individually catered to your specific needs and all under the same roof.

Fantastic experience: I tore all the ligaments in my left foot and struggled to walk, being in a lot of pain. The physio at Barefoot was excellent and over a period of around 3 months, gave me tailored exercises that pushed me to my limits! I am now delighted to report that my foot has now healed brilliantly and I am very grateful to the expert advice and support from Rebecca at barefoot. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Had a sports massage with John, took all the aches and pains away and gave some great advice coming up to my event. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I attended one of the new 'Stretch and Relax' sessions with Michal. I walked in stiff as board following a tough training day and walked out much more flexible and energised.

Fantastic experience: I was suffering with a painful hip and referred pain in my lower leg. Elly was very thorough in her initial investigations of my pain and gave me exercises which helped tremendously. They weren't too onerous, every other day, and I found them very beneficial. Follow up visits were just as thorough and I was extremely impressed with her knowledge and skills. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. The business is a friendly one and provides a comfortable environment.

Fantastic experience: I have Rotator cuff been struggling for months especially at night, I had 6 sessions with Ellie I wasn't optimistic to start I will be honest it's been a long time and a lot of Pain management medication, however Ellie was brilliant, the programme of exercises I was put on you think how can this possibly help a Rotator cuff which is so inflamed, But with reassurance and clear explanations from Ellie and I was disciplined in my exercises each morning and night, over the period of a few weeks I'm 90% better, without the expert diagnosis and exercises to suit my requirements I'd still be struggling, I'm genuinely so pleased I went to Barefoot

Fantastic experience: The treatment suggested by Rebecca has restored the strength to my knee and reduced the pain. She was very thorough, checking xray information from my Doctor and the angles of the images. I now have a safe maintenance routine to keep the knee healthy and can fully enjoy a wide range of activities.

Fantastic experience: Got a referral to Barefoot to attend to a long-running problem with shoulder pain that I decided I should finally do something about. Elly figured out the root of the problem straight away and put together a small program of simple exercises that seem to have completely done the trick. Then for an encore advised on some more things I could do to address another issue in the shoulder while she was at it. Two thumbs up and top marks, and happy to recommend Barefoot to all. Nice premises and reasonable fees too.

Fantastic experience: I visited Barefoot Physio for work to strengthen my leg before my ACL reconstruction, after I ruptured it in January 2025, along with partial tear of my MCL. James Morgan gave me a weekly plan for physio activity which I was told to do, with the exercises being given changing each week to help with strengthening the leg as the timeline continued. It was very nice and welcoming inside with lots of equipment and machines to help with both knee and other injuries and rehab. I would highly recommend this physio.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Barefoot after a car accident. I met Elly the Physio who was very friendly and welcoming. She assessed me and then chatted through the exercises sizes she recommended to improve my condition. Each session she expanded the exercises being mindful of not pushing me too hard due to my type of injury. After each session she emailed over a link to videos of each exercise to ensure I could check I was doing them properly. I found Elly to be very patient, professional and effective in helping to resolve my injury. Would recommend Barefoot to anyone thinking about using them.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Victoria for pelvic floor assessments and exercises. I can only say that I have received excellent advice and Victoria has shared her extensive knowledge with me which has proved invaluable. Highly, 10/10, recommend Barefoot Physio. I am so pleased to have found you!

Fantastic experience: To all the injured people out there,Parkrunner s etc , I had a hamstring issue,the exact location was found by a thorough bio mechanical assessment on my first visit,then I was given specific remedial exercises to carry out which have worked incredibly well,these same exercises have now been advanced slightly the theory being a greater improvement and strengthening of the problem area armed with this new knowledge hopefully the same problem will not arise again, I was looked after by Elly and was treated holistically,taking in the bigger picture,very impressed.

Fantastic experience: Excellent practice. Have seen huge progress since seeking treatment. Can’t recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Thanks again Elly. I highly recommend, was struggling with a shoulder issue for years and they helped get it back to normal within months. Good communication and organised, they really care.

Fantastic experience: I sought advice for a chronic hamstring problem (9 months) and wanted to be able to return to running and other sports. After a taking a detailed history and running some tests I was given a programme of exercises to tackle the problem. I have had 3 sessions with Rebecca over a month and my hamsting has improved a lot and I can now start gently introducing some running. I thought Rebecca was very thorough and adapted the programme as I progressed through each week. I am now away for quite a while but I have a series of exercises which only require body weight and a band so if I can't access a gym I can still do the exercises. When I come back in April I will hopefully be stronger and injury free and ready for the next phase! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Great experience using Barefoot! Rebecca was able to diagnose & recommend actions for my problems, with a particular focus on future-prevention - feel really happy with the results

Fantastic experience: Excellent assessment and treatment of injury allowing me to return to running comfortably.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service. Elly treated by elbow tendonopothy with care and sympathy, diagnosing my injury and treating it with a bespoke training and rehab program. Four months later I am now pain free. Thanks to Barefoot Physio.

Fantastic experience: Truly worth every penny. I was suffering with severe lower back pain. Visited Barefoot and saw James who is extremely qualified and knowledgeable diagnosed me with ruptured disc’s. A exercise plan was put in place and I’ve recovered well. James was extremely honest and reluctant to take my money unnecessarily. Valve for money professional staff. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Bike Fit - can't complain at all, service was great and went back for a follow up appointment, work with you and your bike not like a generic bike shop that does it by the book. the service is personal to you, I found that with some adjustments I can move better on the bike but that I definitely need to work or adding stretches to my routine. bike fit before a big French cycle was worth it!

Fantastic experience: The attention to detail and personalized care made a huge difference in my recovery. I also learned valuable exercises to maintain my progress. Rebecca was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and professional throughout the session. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for effective, hands-on treatment.

Fantastic experience: I have recently signed up to the massage subscription which Barefoot offer. It’s great value! I have had appointments with all 3 therapists, expecting to find I would prefer one more than another but I can honestly say that each massage has been excellent. Each therapist questioned me about what I hoped to achieve from the massage along with any particular problem areas I wanted treating, likes/dislikes etc so I feel they are really listening to enable me to get the most from each session. I have also been sent information/links to try and assist me improve my wellbeing which is very helpful. If you’re looking for a good massage then don’t hesitate in booking.

Fantastic experience: I was seen, and treated by Elly, for tennis elbow and rotator cuff injury in my shoulder. I also have osteoarthritis in my right hand and was unable to put my palms together flat. All the injuries were on my right side. I had been off work and unable to attend my usual dance and exercise classes, leaving me feeling very depressed, despondent and very emotional, breaking down in tears all the time. Elly was very patient, friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. Starting off slowly, with a simple, doable exercise programme, and on each visit adding exercises to aid my recovery. There were videos of my exercises sent to me, which were a godsend, as pictures are never enough for me to remember what I'm supposed to be doing. I followed the programme, and on each visit to Elly, it was obvious the progress I was making, as she had documented how I was on my previous visit. Elly spaced my appointments out, so gradually they became further apart, which meant, I could clearly see and feel the progress and how much I'd improved each time. Now, 6 months on, I have my life back. I'm back to full duties at work, back bellydancing, doing yoga, tai chi, zumba and swimming. Best of all, my husband said, he's got his wife back! I'm so much happier, back to being my usual, bubbly, bouncy self! Even started decorating the new house this week, something I could never have tackled 6 months ago. I've also learnt to listen to my own body and I'm more self aware of when I need to rest a little and not overdo things. I'm now just maintaining my recovery, and I'm so grateful for everything Elly has taught me, I cannot express my gratitude enough. Thank you Elly and everyone at Barefoot. A lovely, welcoming place I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: A very relaxed friendly environment. I was seen by Rebecca who was very friendly and professional, she showed me some new exercises and created a program for me. I was very pleased with the outcome.

Fantastic experience: Attended for Physio, following a back injury & considerable pain. Rebecca took time to explain carefully a plan of action after assessing my injury & talking about my lifestyle, and showing me which exercises would impact my movement and why, especially my lower back. We talked about the spine, muscles & different aspects of where I would need to get better agility. The plan of action worked! I attended further sessions, I found Rebecca to be informative, sensitive & very knowledgeable. She introduced me to further exercises all benefiting my recovery and movement. I don't hesitate in recommending Barefoot for Physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to your service, following a car accident, by my insurance company. When making contact with your service, I found the receptionist very welcoming. Your service was always accommodating with suitable appointment times. I have felt extremely supported throughout my recovery, by my physiotherapist Elly Skinner. Elly was fantastic at identifying what treatment I needed, providing an individual exercise program, practicing these within the sessions and ensuring I had access to the program online following my appointments. I have felt listened too, valued and my overall experience has been very positive. I would highly recommend your company. Thank you for all your help.

Fantastic experience: I'm a competitive powelifter and had a complex injury that had me out of my sport for 7 months. James was recommended to me after having seen many other professionals in this field and medical professionals following an MRI and x-ray and getting no where. They all had different opinions, none of them right! Seeing James was best decision ever! He quickly diagnosed my issue with a simple fix and some sport specific exercises which had my squatting pain free and so much stronger! I thought I would need some intensive treatment when all I needed was to see the right person who knew their stuff! 2 weeks after seeing James I won British nationals and broke 3 British records! I can't thank James enough and that wonderful person who recommended him to me! I now refer to him as the physio god

Fantastic experience: Elly was wonderful & very encouraging & supportive. My shoulder injury, following a car accident, has improved significantly.

Fantastic experience: I had a couple of sessions with James to rehabilitate a repetetive strain elbow injury that hadnt been healing for ages and he was great, gave me a straightforward and enjoyable plan for it and within a few months of following it my elbow is almost back to normal!

Fantastic experience: Rebecca treated me with my neck/shoulder injury she was so knowledgeable and extremely supportive of my journey.

Fantastic experience: This place was amazing, put me at ease, very professional, informative, very friendly staff ,i had to bring my granddaughter along as half term, nobody minded her waiting in reception. The lady I saw ( sorry can't remember her name ) Was empathic, patient, put me at ease, most importantly listened to me . Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Ellie Skinner was a great help providing me with useful exercises, advice and filling me with confidence.

Fantastic experience: Elly skinner fantastic I came in a shell of a man after a road accident and she has helped me to fully recover I can’t thank her enough truly amazing service at bare feet

Fantastic experience: Rebecca did a bike fit for me, I had developed knee pain as a result of an increase in actvity on my cycle turbo trainer. She was friendly and professional and as a result of the adjustments she has made, I no longer have pain and my performance has improved also. Would highly recommend to any keen cyclists!

Fantastic experience: I attended the Clinic to be seen by James for an issue with pain in my neck. I really appreciate his approach on the situation helping me stretch and strengthen the problem area, with the goal of assisting me back to training as quickly as possible. I found the exercises easy to follow as they’re all incorporated in the personalised app. Thank you for all the help Liam Patrick

Fantastic experience: Very professional and listen to the patient, I definitely recommend this physio!

Fantastic experience: Wouldn't go to another physio

Fantastic experience: I saw James for physio, he treated what was going on for me quickly and effectively without stretching out the need for appointments; the clinic has a warm feel and competitive rates. Barefoot wants to keep you active and get you back out there doing what you love!

Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Barefoot clinic for treatment of a whiplash injury. I have been so impressed by the clinics' ethos and thorough professional approach. I immediately felt at ease with James Morgan (physiotherapist) and have benefitted so much from his treatments, support and individualised ongoing recovery advice. Highly recommend the Barefoot Clinic Exeter

Fantastic experience: Elly was great. Effective treatment and a very reassuring manner. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, friendly service. Treated by Elly Skinner, who over the course of 6 sessions managed to get me from a knee that wouldn’t move beyond 90 degrees to a full range of movement. Can’t recommend highly enough. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I have had appointments with both Victoria and Elly over the past few years. The treatment I received was excellent. They both took time to really listen and understand my situation, so the exercises were carefully chosen and adapted to suit me. They were both so supportive and encouraging at every stage. I am now feeling much stronger physically and mentally and I know this is down to the expertise and care provided by these amazing Physios at Barefoot.

Fantastic experience: When I arrived at the clinic, I was in a lot of pain and could barely walk. Following my 5 sessions with Elly Skinner I have got my life back ! She was so helpful , thorough and patient with her guiding me through the pain and I am now back to walking normally ! I highly recommend Elly !

Fantastic experience: Having put up with experiencing pain in my shoulder for several weeks I decided to do something about it. Having arranged an appointment with Barefoot Clinic I was assessed by Rebecca and given some daily exercises to complete. Having completed the exercises on most days I then attended a follow up appointment and it was confirmed that painless mobility had been restored. Top marks for the diagnosis and the appropriate treatment plan.

Fantastic experience: I had physio treatment with Barefoot Physio Clinic. I was very pleased with the help and support I received. The staff are friendly and professional. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I damaged my shoulder during lockdown and it had been giving me trouble when sleeping or lifting things. I started working on my physical health in 2022 and felt my shoulder pain/lack of mobility was holding me back. I had tried a few chiropractic sessions that hadn't really helped and when I spoke to my PT he recommended seeing James at Barefoot. At my first session James thoroughly assessed me and identified the cause really quickly. He gave me some exercises to do for the next 4 weeks and also gave me access to a great app that let me watch videos of the prescribed movements. I used the app to track progress and message James about anything I wasn't sure of which was really useful. We had a follow up after 4 weeks and there was a noticeable improvement in my mobility and a reduction in the pain I had been experiencing, almost to the point of it not being an issue anymore. James had helped me do in 4 weeks what a chiropractor couldn't do in 8. He didn't leave it there though, as he gave me follow up exercises that I could continue with and he seemed to genuinely care about helping me to achieve good physical health. Really personable service and he knows his stuff! You won't be disappointed and he'll genuinely help you.

Fantastic experience: Following a car accident I was in pain with anxiety and sleepless nights. I was given a simple exercise programme focusing on the specific problem areas and with just two sessions felt such a huge difference, it was wonderful. Thank you

Fantastic experience: referred by employer following surgery. Elly was understanding and empathetic to my needs and availability and formulated a rehabilitation programme which was expanded as the sessions progressed. She was realistic in setting achievable targets and the app worked well. would self refer without a doubt if i ever had to. many thanks.

Fantastic experience: I attended Barefoot, Exeter for a shoulder rotator cuff tear where I had very limited movement and lots of pain. I was treated by Elly Skinner and she was fantastic, she started me off with some very small exercises and built them up slowly over the weeks. She managed to improve my mobility and reduce the pain massively. She has a really lovely and kind nature. I will definitely use Barefoot again, if needed, and have been recommending them to my colleagues. Thanks again Elly you’re a star!

Fantastic experience: Fabulous service at Barefoot physio, thorough diagnosis and treatment with clear instructions on exercises to do between appts. The app and video were really helpful. I would definitely recommend to others if you need a physio service. Elly was super knowledgeable and professional and really helped me.

Fantastic experience: Just completed a course of 6 treatments for a very painful back injury. Thanks to the care I received I have seen a huge improvement. Elly was informative and very positive and has given me a set of exercises to hopefully ensure the improvement is maintained. Will certainly recommend this friendly professional practice.

Fantastic experience: I recently went to see James regarding a long term issue with my shoulder. He was extremely helpful in explaining the mechanisms which have caused my reoccurring pain. Over a series of weeks James provided me a progressive physio plan which he adapted when new issues came to light. I would highly recommend James for anyone looking for a physiotherapist.

Fantastic experience: I recently received physiotherapy on my shoulder at Barefoot Clinic after experiencing a dislocation, and I must say, the service provided was exceptional. The treatment I received for my shoulder injury was top-notch and greatly aided my recovery process. Elly Skinner, a member of the Barefoot team, was the one who treated me throughout my physiotherapy sessions. I cannot praise her expertise and dedication enough. Elly was not only knowledgeable about the intricacies of physiotherapy but also displayed genuine care and concern for my well-being. She made sure to tailor the treatment plan to suit my specific needs, and her encouraging demeanor kept me motivated during the challenging phases of my rehabilitation. What sets Barefoot apart from other clinics is their commitment to providing personalized care. The team at Barefoot Clinic takes the time to understand each patient's condition thoroughly, and their treatments are not one-size-fits-all. This approach made me feel valued as a patient and gave me the confidence that I was in capable hands. To my friends and colleagues, I would highly recommend Barefoot Clinic for any physiotherapy needs. From my own experience, I can vouch for their professionalism, effectiveness, and friendly atmosphere. Whether it's post-injury rehabilitation or any other physiotherapy requirements, I am confident that Barefoot Clinic and their team, particularly Elly Skinner, will deliver outstanding results and make the recovery journey as smooth as possible. I couldn't have asked for a better place to receive the care and support needed during my shoulder injury recovery.

Fantastic experience: I was referred here for treatment for lower back pain that was causing quite a bit of pain and impacting every day life. After completing seven sessions with Elly and following the programme of gradually increasing daily exercises I saw a real improvement and have been able to get back to doing the things I like and going through day to day life with no issues at all.

Positive experience: Nice space for helpful recovery physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: As a massage therapist for over 25 years, I'm pretty fussy when it comes to my treatments. Fran came highly recommended and I have to say that I am now one of her fans. Not only was she friendly and welcoming, she also obviously really knew her craft. Her treatment was thorough and skilled and the pressure was fantastic. I also loved the option of having some hot stones used in the massage which was an added luxurious touch. Thanks so much Fran. I'll definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: Worked miracles on my back very professional. These guys know there business I would recommend any one in pain don't wait go to bare foot physio and get it sorted

Fantastic experience: Came to Barefoot with 2 sporting injuries and saw the fantastic Elly. Really easy to work with her and to plan my way back to recovery. After a few months and regularly check-in I’m back to full fitness and able to return to my regular day-to-day activities. A big thanks to Elly and the Barefoot team.

Fantastic experience: Excellent knowledgeable staff with a friendly approachable attitude. I felt very comfortable in their hands.

Fantastic experience: I went to Barefoot with a back and neck pain which was getting worse everyday. Michael was excellent and after a couple of massages and very helpful advice I was back on track

Fantastic experience: Great thanks to Michal, he helped my parents restore energy and keep injury free. After they had done a hard physical work, I was so worried they might collapse the second day, but luckily Michael had two spaces of massage, they ended up very happy and energetic. We will come again soon and let it be their regular body maintenance. Thanks again Mike

Fantastic experience: I've tried 3 separate physios for runners knee issues, over 8 years, with no success. Then I came to see James! I've managed to get back to skateboarding, ,surfing, cycling and running, which has been great. With the strengthening exercises he showed me, I have for the first time in 8 years been pain free doing the exercises I love. I'd definitely recommend James and his approach. He takes a holistic, 'whole picture' view of your situation, and is very switched on and savvy in his approach. I've learnt a lot from him in a few months and would definitely recommend the Barefoot Physio Clinic. Thanks James!

Fantastic experience: Having had a very successful course of treatment for a frozen shoulder last year at this physio centre, I have now completed a course of sessions to treat a very painful foot condition. James provided an excellent service, making a swift diagnosis, giving clear explanations and set a course of exercises. These are backed up on a very straightforward phone app, so I had no difficulty following them. Exercise, alongside some shock wave treatment has been most effective and walking is no longer the painful challenge it was. I am approaching full fitness now. The centre has a positive atmosphere with excellent facilities. I have recommended Barefoot to friends who have received similar positive treatment.

Fantastic experience: Great business, got me running again after other attempts had failed.

Fantastic experience: Very personable, warm and welcoming environment, really happy with the service provided. Thanks Barefoot!
