Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Ian. Very professional and knowledgeable. Would recommend to other runners.

Alan C Published on Google 2 weeks ago

Fantastic experience: I went to see Ian on the advice of a friend, regarding a painful Achilles tendon which had been a problem for some 6 weeks - I could hardly walk and it was not getting better. It began to show improvement within a week after his first treatment with his Shockwave Therapy machine, and is pretty much fully recovered 4 weeks later. Recommended!

Sarah De Boer Published on Google 2 weeks ago

Fantastic experience: Ian is very thorough and takes time to understand your challenges and the appropriate rehabilitation path. The shockwave therapy is great for speeding up healing time for injuries.

Elinor Carson Published on Google 2 weeks ago

Fantastic experience: Very thorough treatment - issues resolved satisfactorily . Would definitely recommend.

Pat Spicer Published on Google 2 weeks ago

Bob Stuart Published on Google 2 weeks ago

Fantastic experience: I saw Ian about a hip problem I'd had for many weeks, which was giving me considerable pain. Ater only 3 sessions, I had made great progress, and I am now almost back to full fitness. Highly recommend.

Luke Sutherland Published on Google 3 weeks ago

Fantastic experience: Ian was fantastic, I came to him roughly 6 weeks out from my marathon with knee pain that had been underlying for years, not only was he able to diagnose me in minutes, but after only a handful of sessions using shockwave therapy, he virtually erased any pain I had, both in day to day life and during my runs, which at the time felt like a miracle. Would highly recommend Burton Physiotherapy, I’ll definitely be back in the future for treatment for any niggles or pains I have.

Jacqui Buchan Published on Google 1 month ago

Catherine Booth Published on Google 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Ian Burton explained everything in great detail. He was very professional and also put me at my ease as physio is a new experience for me. Went through treatment plans. I was very pleased with my visit.

Sian Kerr Published on Google 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Ian enough. He has helped my teenage son immeasurably with his recovery from multiple elbow surgeries and synovitis. The combination of exercise plans, hands on therapy and shockwave therapy have been so helpful - to the extent that the range of movement now being achieved surpasses what we thought would ever be possible. Really delighted.

Tony Jack Published on Google 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ian was great, sorted out my plantar fascitis with shockwave therapy and an exercise program. I am now back running and hiking with no pain during activity and afterwards. Through Ian's advice and support I know now how to manage if there is a flare up in the future.

Rachel Foyle Published on Google 3 months ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend. There was plenty of availability for appointments so was able to get an appointment at short notice after a leg injury. The treatment made a big difference and was also given advice and a programme of exercises to follow to continue recovery and get me back to running.

nicola harkins Published on Google 3 months ago

Aileen Harcus Published on Google 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Went to see Dr Burton a few weeks ago after a bad fall on my shoulder. He was very helpful after assessing my injury and provided me with detailed exercises to help repair the damage. After a couple of weeks of doing the exercises he provided, I am on the road to recovery. Dr Burton offered shockwave therapy which sounds very interesting and I may well go down that route for full recovery. Would certainly recommend Burton Physiotherapy.

Greig Paterson Published on Google 6 months ago

Carol Qureshi Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent service at Burton physio. Easy to make an online appointment and plenty parking close by. Ian has good listening and diagnostic skills. I had shockwave treatment for tendonitis and the improvement after 3 sessions was amazing.Slower but continued improvement beyond this but Ian explained this is what would be expected.He was also very happy to book a future appointment so long as it was cancelled within 24 hours if the pain had fully settled. All explanations were clear and any questions answered.The exercise regime sent by email was also very comprehensive. Would definitely recommend.

Anna Johnston Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: After suffering with plantar fasciitis for over three years and trying all sorts, i was beginning to think nothing would help. I have experienced significant improvement following shockwave therapy and physio with Ian. I would highly recommend his services to anyone struggling with foot pain.

Linzi Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ian is extremely knowledgeable and quickly identified the cause of my hip pain. He takes the time to explain everything clearly.

Solas CWPO Published on Google 7 months ago

Katie Benzie Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Ian Burton enough. As someone who’s quite shy, I often find appointments like this quite scary, but he made me feel completely at ease. He is incredibly patient and takes the time to explain everything clearly. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I am finally taking the necessary steps in recovery. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and knowledgeable physiotherapist!

Heather Kirk Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: The whole process is simple and efficient. The web site is easy to navigate and I was able to achieve an appointment when I wanted it. On the two days I attended for my appointment I was able to park and find the rooms easily. I was taken on time. Ian listened well and examined me proficiently. He was able to come to a diagnosis which was confirmed subsequently by MRI. I liked the exercises which he subsequently sent to me. I would certainly recommend Burton Physiotherapy

Nicola Dempster (Nic) Published on Google 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I'd really recommend Ian. He seemed far more knowledgeable about my running injury (Greater trochanteric pain syndrome) than any other physio I've spoken to. I feel the shockwave therapy and more intensive physio exercises (compared to what previous physios have had me doing) have been helping with my injury.

Kenny Garden Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t get the physio I use to go to before and decided to go to Ian through word of mouth! Very understanding of my situation and gave me great advice, treatment and plan to help the injury. I had 3 sessions with him and each time I felt more confident I was going get back to where I was. Honest, great knowledge and very helpful. I will definitely use again if required.

Catherine Munroe Published on Google 8 months ago

Positive experience: Ian provided an excellent service. Using Shock Wave Therapy, I was able to achieve a huge improvement to an irritated and swollen achillies tendon. Four sessions were required and although still aware of it I am now able to get out in the hills once more.

Derek Folganan Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Service overall was excellent. Ian asked loads of questions & the treatment was suited to my specific issue. (Plantar Fasciitis) The follow up was also excellent. Ian took the time to explain things & gave me the opportunity to ask questions. I felt very reassured after every session & my issue improved & was resolved as Ian had predicted.

Paul Yarnold Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Having had Plantar Fasciitis since July and there seemed little prospect of improvement indeed it was getting worse. Luckily, I have BUPA HEALTH Insurance which covers Physiotherapy. Fixing an appointment with Burton Physiotherapy was done on line and was quick and simple. Ian recommended a course of shock wave therapy. My treatment was further complicated because I had a European trip planned and wanted to be as fit as possible as it involves significant walking and cycling. Because of the time constraints Ian suggested we try a condensed programme of shockwave therapy involving 2 sessions a week. Thankfully this has been pretty successful and I’ve gone from being unable to walk 3 Kms to now being able to complete a moderately hard walk of 7kms without any significant pain/ discomfort. I’m certain this is down to Ian’s therapy and guidance. I can recommend Burton Physiotherapy and will definitely use them in the future if required. Paul Yarnold

Arran Milne Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Ian Burton for a complex, long-term patellar tendinopathy with significant nerve pain. Before starting treatment with Ian, I had been on crutches for 6 months and had seen many different physios. The advice and exercises I’d been given in the past only ever took me so far. Since working with Ian over the last 3 months, the progress has been life-changing. I’m now completely off crutches and slowly building up my walking distance, something I couldn’t imagine before. Ian’s knowledge of tendinopathy is exceptional, and his advice has been clear, effective, and tailored to me. I trust Ian entirely with my rehab. I would highly recommend him to anyone struggling with tendon issues — his knowledge and approach has made all the difference, wish I'd seen him sooner.

Neil Robertson Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I went to Ian to get a 2nd opinion as I had some concerns with my original physio, I am incredibly glad that I did. I had about 3 months to recover from an injury before a sports holiday. Ian’s approach to diagnosing the issue was very thorough and he put in place a recovery plan which was completely different to the one I’d originally been given, and ultimately lead to a great holiday! He clearly explained the injury, demonstrated why he’d come to that understanding and why he recommended a specific course of action. He helped me get more from my orthopaedic consultant and MRI scan by suggesting questions to ask and then used that information when recommending his plan for physio. He understood my goals and helped me achieve them, not just through the physical recovery but he also suggested ways to improve my confidence that the injury was sufficiently healed and manage risk while reintroducing sport. Not all physios are the same and I thoroughly recommend Ian!

Mairi Loynd Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I went to see Ian 6 weeks before I was due to run a marathon with pain in my Achilles. If it wasn’t for his help I wouldn’t have made it to the starting line! After 3 sessions of shockwave therapy, a fantastic strengthening regime, some massage therapy and excellent advice I had recovered from my tendonopathy quickly and in time for my race! Genuinely can’t thank you enough Ian!

Ian McIlwaine Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Dr Ian Burton since April 25, initially to treat a number of musculoskeletal niggles I was suffering from for a while and more latterly for new injuries. I quickly realised that he is an extremely knowledgeable physiotherapist particular with respect to tendon pain issues. He is also qualified as a strength and conditioning coach which is useful for those needing recovery help from a sports related injury. He can also provide short wave therapy for those injuries that need this treatment. I would therefore highly recommend him for any sport related injuries.

Colin Bennett Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ian has helped me understand my lower back pain and treated it professionally with plenty of advice and emails with exercises to help and strengthen my back. It's well worth a visit to help / resolve and understand your problems.

Philip Forbes Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: “I had been struggling with Achilles tendinopathy for two months, to the point where even walking was painful. After working with Ian, and following his professional, structured, and personalised plan, I’m now completely pain-free and back running without any issues. His advice was tailored to my situation and delivered with consideration to my situation, and with real expertise. Very Highly recommended.”

Ray Liversidge Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Attended Ian to help with knee pain, he provided a routine that got me back running in a few weeks.

Ann Allan Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I have had pain in my lower back for a number of years and have tried multiple treatments, including different physios and acupuncture. I have been receiving shockwave treatment at Ian’s clinic for around 10 weeks now and can’t believe how effective the results have been. If you have tried all of the usual treatment options and are finding you have only improved up to a certain point, or not at all, I would highly recommend giving the shockwave treatment a go - it has genuinely changed my life!

Clare Flood Published on Google 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my consultation at Burton Physio. Thorough examination and explanation of cause of hip pain. Excellent advice given and exercises which have helped. Definitely recommend.

Lesley Roberts Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent and quick service from Dr Ian Burton. I had a very sore ankle with tendonopathy and received shock wave therapy from Ian which allowed me to walk extensively on my holiday ( which I wouldn’t have thought possible before.) It continues to improve but should I need it again I would not hesitate to return for another few sessions to heal it completely. Post shockwave therapy I have exercises to do which are strengthening my calves - I would recommend Ian !

Alison Russell Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Ian enough for patiently helping me with a painful strain/tear in ankle ligament and tendons. I received shock therapy treatment and invaluable advice along with an excellent exercise programme to strengthen my ankle. In a short space of time I can feel the benefits and now have confidence to move forward with full recovery. Thank you so much.

Mark Lunney Published on Google 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: What a fantastic find! From diagnosis to treatment, Ian’s patience and professionalism is first class, taking time to understand what problems I had and treating each one effectively, also providing strengthening exercises as part of my rehabilitation. Highly recommended!

Alix Still Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I recently saw Ian for shockwave therapy while I was visiting home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was extremely accommodating and managed to fit me in on short notice, just in time for my upcoming track meet. Ian is very knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to ask detailed questions about how I was feeling, making sure he addressed all of my concerns. The therapy itself left me feeling significantly better and ready to perform at my best. I would not hesitate to return to Ian for any future physio needs. He’s an expert in his field, and I’m grateful for the care and attention he provided!

Alex McMahon Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr Burton to anyone who is seeking effective treatment and injury rehabilitation. Well priced and an efficient service that has massively helped me get back on track to full fitness.

Rhona Mackie Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ian is a very professional and knowledgeable, taking time to listen in order to understand the problem then providing the necessary treatment and advice. I went to Ian with pain in my elbow/forearm which Ian was quick to identify as being Tennis Elbow. After 7 sessions of shock wave treatment and an exercise plan to follow the pain had gone. Highly recommend.

Mike Johnston Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Both myself and my wife have been going to receive physio from Dr Ian Burton we have found him to be very knowledgeable and a great help with our health issues we both have come on a long way since attending his practice and can’t thank him enough for his support and understanding.

Simone Boyd Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ian is a fantastic physiotherapist. Has so much knowledge and understanding. I would recommend anyone to Ian. Has helped me so much.

Eddie Fowler Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I was in agony with a sore back when I visited Burton Physio. Ian asked probing questions & listened. He performed shock wave therapy & I walked out. Next day I was able to undertake exercises. I returned several days later & received a second treatment of shock wave therapy. This placed me well on the recovery route. I would certainly recommend Burton Physio to anyone with a sore back. Ian’s professional approach was exactually what I wanted.

Nicola Massie Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ian is exceptional, bringing a wealth of knowledge and professionalism to his practice. He has accurately diagnosed my condition and offered valuable advice, therapy, and at-home exercises tailored to my needs. I plan to continue scheduling sessions with him as necessary, as he demonstrates a deep understanding and takes the time to thoroughly discuss every aspect of my care. Under his guidance, I feel genuinely supported and well cared for. Thanks Ian

Irene Merrilees Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I began treatment with Ian for a problem with my right calf and received shock wave treatment which after 3 sessions the problem was clear. However I mentioned I had trouble with my shoulder, since Christmas, receiving treatment via NHS - Ian suggested trying the shock wave treatment on shoulder and in View of success with leg I agreed and all I can say it has after 3 treatments cleared up the problem / no pain and 6 weeks later have still no pain and more freedom and movement in shoulder.

Jayne Addie Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about how much Shockwave therapy has helped my tennis elbow. I was suffering pretty badly with my both my arms for over 3 months to the point that even getting dressed was painful, my grip was so weak that pulling a pen lid off or pulling a plug out was extremely painful. To my suprise even after the first session I felt a change in my pain levels. I've now completed 4 sessions along with regular physio excercises in the last 5 weeks and I can safely say that my both my arms are in no pain. I'm so impressed by the success of this treatment. Thank you Burton Physiotherapy for your all your help. If you suffer from any sort of ligament issues this therapy has great results.

Cass Published on Google 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Stop searching and book with Burton. I've been into exercise for most of my life, lifted weights for the last 15 years. Always been a guy with "iffy shoulders", then properly injured myself this year. Met a few physios over time, but no one as thorough, knowledgeable, reassuring, and effective as Ian. I had a thorough assessment on day one - no fancy tools, just a solid history and examination. He didn't try to sell me anything. Picked up the issue (missed by another physio in the city), described the evidence for the possible treatments, gave me his recommendations, then let me choose what would work for me and my schedule. With some exercise advice and six sessions of shockwave, my "iffy shoulders" are sorted and I'm back to playing with my kid and working out with confidence. I really cannot fault this man. If you want your problem solved, go see him. Honestly, this is the best investment I've ever made in my health. Cheers Ian!

Theo Jones Published on Google 11 months ago

Mr McAvinue Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ian shows a great attention to detail and uses a range of different methods to treat injuries. He is attentive and shows in depth knowledge of rehab and injury prevention strategies.

rosa granero Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had suffered with what I thought it was low back pain for a while and stopped exercising because of it. A friend recommended to visit Ian and I’m glad I did. Ian explained and helped me to understand that my problem was in the pelvis and gave me some exercises to work on and also recommended the shockwaves. After three shockwaves sessions and working with the exercises I started to feel less pain. I continue doing the exercises to strengthen the pelvis and I’ve been able to get back into fitness. Thank you Ian

Katharine Creegan Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ian was recommended to me by a friend. I’d been struggling with an injury for about 6 weeks. He took a lot of time to discuss it and identify the issue, and within two treatments of shockwave and massage, along with an exercise programme, I’d made huge progress. I’d highly recommend Burton physiotherapy

Nicola Moir Published on Google 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Ian is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain everything clearly. I came in with a very stubborn Achilles injury which had been bothering me for months . I had 3 shockwave therapy sessions with Ian , and noticed a huge improvement during this time . He also gave helpful advice for recovery and strengthening I felt confident in his care throughout the process and would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with a sports or overuse injury.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Ian now for several years and I can't recommend enough. Ian is extremely knowledgeable and knows exactly what he's talking about. He's saved me having an operation that I would of probably rushed into in a panic without having his knowledge to reassure me other ways around it.

Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for your feedback and kind comments!
Surgery is not always the right course of action for patients, and sometimes physiotherapy and structured rehab and guidance can be the better option for the individual in the longer-term, as you have seen with your knee injury.
Thanks again,
Ian

Fantastic experience: Ian was great when I developed a sudden knee injury. I got an appointment at short notice, it was super easy to book and saw improvement soon after my appointment. Ian’s investigations through exercises/stretches found the root cause of the pain (which I didn’t realise was an issue prior to our appointment). I appreciate that Ian takes the time to explain the clinical parts in a way I can easily understand.

Fantastic experience: I would highly highly recommend Dr Burton. I’ve had a few tricky injuries that were stopping me training and Dr Burton was able to offer me shock wave therapy and a rehab programme to get me back doing my sport asap. Dr Burton will offer you enough time in your appointment to get to the root cause of the issue and address that as well as symptom control. There is no pressure to keep booking appointments if it’s not appropriate. Lots of parking nearby and easy access, overall very positive experience!

Fantastic experience: As a middle aged triathlete training for an Ironman, Ian has been invaluable in helping me deal with the various aches and pains that come with the high exercise load. In addition, he helped me rehab my knee after surgery last year through a combination of exercises to do at home as well as hands on Physio. I’d recommend him to both athletes and non athletes alike.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic guidance, treatment and support. Made significant progress in a matter of weeks compared to the treatment I had been receiving from another organisation for months previously.

Fantastic experience: I started going to Ian’s practice in May 2024 as I had been experiencing debilitating pain in my hip for months alongside a number of other injuries that had brought my active lifestyle and professional dance career to a halt. After seeing many physios, chiropractors and oesteopaths over the years and never managing to find a solution to the chronic injuries and pain I was having, I was relieved to find a practitioner who was informative, invested in my rehabilitation and who kept things to the point. Ian gave me the guidance and education that was required for me to begin the rehabilitation process and with regular sessions, a simple but effective strength training programme and techniques such as sport massage and shock wave therapy within a few months I was able to return to my professional dance career pain free, stronger than before and confident in my ability to maintain my injuries from returning. I can’t thank Ian enough for providing me with hope and reassurance through difficult times, for teaching me valuable information and most of all for helping me get back to a place where I feel fit, strong and am able to do all the things I enjoy again. I highly recommend all services at Burton Physiotherapy, no matter what the issue may be Ian approaches it with an open mind and reminds you that with consistency, dedication and co operation you are able to obtain the results you wish for.

Fantastic experience: Dr Ian Burton is very professional and reassuring. The consultation included historic issues / problems, personal rehab carried out as well as physical review of issue presented. Methodical analysis focus resulted on issue with my tendon. We discussed and agreed a realistic schedule of rehab to get me back to running which also included shockwave treatment.

Fantastic experience: Dr Ian Burton is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I have been working with Ian for over a year now and trust him wholeheartedly. Dr Burton has helped my wonky body many times! He has given recommendations that I have followed to strengthen my body and allow it to take on challenges like the ROC, to finish strongly and recover more quickly.

Fantastic experience: Very professional and thorough service by Ian. The best part of the service is that Ian has got a fully equipped gym where he can observe a patient doing the exercises prescribed by physio. We often are given exercises to resolve an issue but often we do not perform them correctly. You don’t have to worry about it with Ian. Moreover he can build a plan for you to prevent the issue reoccurring

Hi Estera,
Thanks for your 5-star review and great feedback!
Its great having a fully equipped gym that we can utilise with rehab, checking exercise technique and also personal training sessions. Makes things a lot easier and ensures patients know they are doing exercises correctly.
Thanks again,
Ian

Fantastic experience: I came to Ian with chronic plantar fasciitis last year, whilst preparing for my first Ironman triathlon. I thought the outlook was pretty bleak and was concerned that I would have to defer the race, due to being in so much pain as a result of running. Ian recommended shockwave therapy which had incredibly successful effects and after a couple of treatments, paired with a few weeks off running, and some specific strength training, I was back running pain free. Pretty remarkable considering I had been in pain for months ahead of this and plantar fasciitis is well known to be a stubborn condition. I was able to complete the Ironman a couple of months later and don't think that would have been possible without Ian's treatment. Ian's very good at identifying why there is an underlying issue, treating it and suggesting how to prevent it in future and by following his advice I've had very good results. I would highly recommend his services.
