The Physio Practice

Fantastic experience: I wholeheartedly recommend David and his team. Always practical, expert and friendly, The Physio Practice is a key support in my recovery from sports related injuries, even the persistent ones!

Fantastic experience: I really like the physio practice. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and really helped me recover from a sports injury.

Fantastic experience: I have been treated by David and by Lucas, and they have both been excellent - practical, asking sensible questions, and then identifying the problem and explaining it clearly. I've visited over several issues, and each time they've dealt with it expertly and quickly.

Fantastic experience: I have been using The Physio Practice for a number of years for a variety of different issues, and I have always received outstanding care. David and the entire team are highly professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to helping their patients achieve the best possible outcomes. Their expertise, friendly approach, and personalised treatment plans have made a real difference to my recovery and overall wellbeing. I always feel confident that I am in safe hands. I cannot recommend David and the team at The Physio Practice highly enough. If you need a physiotherapist, I would strongly encourage you to book an appointment with them – you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: David is absolutely great, excellent. This is 'hands-on' physio, kneading, manipulating the needy spots, not a talking cure as with less competent practitioners. Also he gave me a very precise, helpful online regime of exercises. I could not recommend David more highly, he has made such a difference to my weak back and I trust him completely

Fantastic experience: I've used this practice over several years. Both Daviid and Michael have always done a thorough assessment, accurate diagnosis, and very effective treatment. They explain things well and are friendly. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Across a long lifetime of visiting numerous practitioners, David Healy is the first physiotherapist I have seen who has made a real qualitative difference to my physical wellbeing. I have severe back pain resulting from skeletal problems which are not curable but which he has helped me to manage through regular physio. He is far and away the most knowledgeable and experienced practitioner I have met, with a wide range of treatment techniques and the unfailing ability to locate the sources of pain. I like the fact that he will be the first to tell me I don't need to come back for a month or a couple of months, which means when he tells me I need another session in a week or a couple of weeks, I know I really do. He has also recently been treating my long-standing chronic lateral epicondylitis - a last-ditch attempt after multiple other treatment pathways have failed and David is the only person I would trust to administer this particular treatment.

Fantastic experience: Could not have been more looked after. An extremely helpful consultation and a treatment plan that I can stick to which is more than I was given by a top consultant!

Fantastic experience: Visited Michael for treatment on my lower back pain from a sporting injury. He came highly recommended and the treatment he gave me and the exercises resolved the issue within just a couple of weeks.

Fantastic experience: Michael is friendly, caring and very knowledgeable. He diagnosed and treated my knee problem quickly and professionally. It was a difficult problem and not one of the common knee issues. After a second session a week later I felt great.

Fantastic experience: Great service. Very professional and reasonably priced.

Fantastic experience: Lucas was brilliant - providing me with the right exercises throughout my therapy with clear explanations. Can recommend for professional advice and prompt, reliable service.

Fantastic experience: David & Kat have been instrumental in my recovery from Bi- Lateral Hip Replacements. Soft tissue therapy and expert guidance have enabled me to continue my active lifestyle. I will be forever grateful for there work.

Fantastic experience: Excellent physiotherapists in Oxford area of the UK - one of few practices that does not simply give exercises where that is insufficient but really seeks to solve problems through hands-on work. Whilst I have tended to see David Healy who is a very impressive physiotherapist, I have also been to Lucy and Michael who were excellent too. A highly recommended practice!

Fantastic experience: After fracturing a vertebrae I tried physiotherapy for the first time to help with this recovery along with an existing lower back pain issue. I'm so glad I chose this practice. Michael has been exceptional. Not only has my back fully recovered after four months, but he's really pushed my recovery far beyond what I thought possible. Highly recommend for anyone new to physiotherapy or who has all kinds of back pain.

Negative experience: I went to the Physio Practice in March 2025 and saw Michael. I chose this physio due to the Google reviews and proximity to home despite the increased costs at £88/appointment. During the appointment Michael was rude and unempathetic. I have seen many physios over the years for different injuries, including pre and post surgery, and this was the worst experience I have ever had. Following the consultation I waited 4 days to receive the exercises I had been told I would be emailed the same day of my appointment. Michael had not bothered to show me the exercises during the consultation (which was weird) so I had literally paid £88 for someone to effectively laugh at me and tell me I had a low pain threshold. After emailing the day after the appointment (Friday), then phoning David multiple times on the Monday, a further email and leaving 2 voice mails I finally received the exercises. Needless to say I have not returned, my injury has persisted and I am looking for another physiotherapist.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend David Healey enough. I have seen him for various issues in the past few years, sometimes after my GP could not help, and he always managed to make me get better quickly. If you think a physiotherapist can help you, look no further.

Fantastic experience: David has always diagnosed my injuries, or conditions, accurately and immediately set me on the path to recovery. Best use of my money possible.

Fantastic experience: David quickly identified that my pain was caused by an old injury I had even forgotten had happened. His diagnosis was quick, treatment was accurate, thorough and effective. AMAZING! I have got my feet back!

Fantastic experience: Michael has been treating me for six months as I was struggling to walk after chemotherapy but gradually my walking is getting better and my back is much better. Michael has extremely strong hands and you certainly know you have had treatment after a visit to Michael. But doing a great job and all that pain is worth it in the end. John

Fantastic experience: I have been going to David for many years and have recommended him to many friends. He is extremely good and totally professional. Over the years I have had treatment from a number of the team most recently Kathryne for a sports massage which was excellent. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Michael has been dealing with multiple issues I have been suffering with and is making great progress. At the beginning of each session there is a review since the last one which is great because it gives me some time to explain how I'm feeling and then he can adjust the session to suit.

Fantastic experience: Strongly recommend. David dramatically improved a hamstring issue in only one session. Thoughtful, careful, methodical and very well explained. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Kat for a few years, for massages to help manage / alleviate symptoms of scoliosis. Kat is professional but friendly and has helped me a lot - I've recommended her/The Physio Practice to friends who have found the same.

Fantastic experience: Excellent. Have used a few times and always professional and deal with the issues very well.

Fantastic experience: Superb physio! I have had both physio & sports massage there, both excellent. Hugely helpful for a groin strain injury that wasn't going away and back problems. Physio (David) gave me a great set of exercise to follow, which led to really quick results, which was really supported by massage (Kathryne). I went there on the advice of two others who had found them super useful. Could not recommend more.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been excellently treated by David and his team for as long as we can remember: ranging from issues with knees, hips and shoulders! In all instances, the diagnosis has been spot on, and the 'hands on' sessions successful in resolving the issue(s). Thank you David & co. for a superb and professional service. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: David does an excellent job of diagnosing what is wrong and getting me on the path to recovery and back to my favorite activities. Kathryne is an exellent massage therapist and has got me through many a long distance running campaign. Overall, this is an excellent physio practice and they are fantastic at doing exactly what I need - helping me manage the sort of overuse injuries that crop up when one is active, especially as we age; and getting me back to the activities I love.

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Kat and David regularly to help my recovery from shoulder pain and surgery. Kat has always been very friendly, able to greatly reduce my pain and speed up my recovery. David’s knowledge and expertise has invaluable to get treatment and build a recovery plan.

Fantastic experience: I am very grateful to David for helping me get rid of chronic neck and back pain that worsened after stress. He is very attentive and professional. I also started doing the exercises he sent me and they are completely different from what I did before. I feel how much easier it has become to turn my neck and my back pain has decreased. If you are looking for a physical therapist, I wholeheartedly recommend David.

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing David for over 2 years to treat various conditions. Recently, I suffered a lot of neck pain which prevented me from doing normal day-to-day activities. David is incredibly patient and used his expertise to walk me through the whole process step by step, letting me know what to expect and the time scale for healing. Thanks to his dedicated care and guidance, my neck pain has significantly improved, allowing me to return to my usual activities. I highly recommend David to anyone seeking effective and compassionate physiotherapy and acupuncture treatment.

Fantastic experience: The whole team at the Physio Practice are fantastic. Incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. Kat the sports massage therapist, best sports massage I've had.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending The Physio Practice for an ongoing issue with my shoulder and elbow. I have received excellent treatment,advice and reassurance from both David abd Darcy and I cannot recommend them enough.

Fantastic experience: Went to David at The Physio Practice about a very stiff neck. He was quick to diagnose the problem and now working on a longer term scoliosis treatment. Looking forward to the results over the long term. A* service!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend David highly enough. After working in the NHS in Swindon and driving from Oxford I had a chronic case of sciatica with accompanying low back pain. On retirement I realised it was time to get it sorted out. Happily the sciatica has been resolved and the entirety of my back feels stronger and more supple. Thankyou David for the support and help, at 67 I suspect I will be seeing you again some time soon.

Fantastic experience: Excited to be heading back to playing netball after months of shoulder pain and poor sleep. All turned around in a few weeks - great advice and treatment from David, and diagnostic ultrasound and treatment from Jonathan. Highly professional, friendly, good value for money.

Fantastic experience: I can't praise these guys highly enough. After years of going to other physiotherapists because of pain in my shoulders and hips, without any improvement, I went to the Physio Practice on the recommendation of my GP. As others have said, I wish I had gone earlier. David came up with a treatment plan, and Darcey is an absolutely brilliant physiotherapist. Together, they've worked wonders. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Dave is the best physio I've been to wouldn't go anywhere else. He works solidly throughout the session and is incredibly effective using various techniques. My neck and shoulder were so bad I could hardly work at my screen. I had one half hour appt of deep massage as well as dry needling and after a day or so I was 70% better and able to drive and work again with ease. A few more days later and I was totally pain free. Honestly I felt quite emotional as I literally felt the pain and tension being pushed out of my body and I can't thank Dave enough for his hard work - highly recommend and well worth the money.

Fantastic experience: I came to the physio practice with a grade 3 calf tear following a sports injury. Darcey was fantastic through many weeks of appointments. He helped increase my confidence in exercise again with a new plan and new movements to add in each time I visited. I went from not being able to walk to beginning to run again after 16 weeks. Thank you Darcey - I don't think I would be at this stage of recovery without your support! A big thank you to Kat too who provided some much needed sports massage in between appointments. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Physio Practice to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I wish I had come to David 20 years ago! After having years of problems with my calves and many visits to other physios David has made an amazing difference. I am now back to playing tennis regularly and have a strategy to maintain strength and flexibility. Kathryne’s expert sports massages are spot on too.

Fantastic experience: Really professional team with excellent care and understanding of treating ailments. I would thoroughly recommend

Fantastic experience: I started seeing David in October 2022 after suffering from plantar fasciitis since January 2022. I'd previously seen multiple physios and foot specialists with no improvement. After 8 weeks of shockwave therapy and soft tissue work with David, I'm now back running consistently and pain free. Something I didn't think I'd be able to do again. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Recommended by my GP, and how grateful I am. My painful back and rib pain seems to have cleared up after only a few sessions. Very professional. And incredibly good value for money.

Fantastic experience: David and his colleagues have saved me on a number of occasions. I've experience sciatica to the point of being unable to move and the needle therapy, massage and advice has been central to my recovery. I have finally found a physio practice I feel 100% confident with. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Darcey my physiotherapist was excellent- friendly, thorough and professional. After a detailed assessment he designed a bespoke exercise plan which has resulted in a significant improvement in my shoulder condition after only 2 weeks. I would not hesitate to recommend the Physio Practice.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic clinical team comprised of excellent expertise, experience and highly effective treatment prescription!

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend David Healy at the Physio Practice. Having a physically demanding job and doing horse riding along with some other sports means my body needs help fixing every now and then, or just ticking over! In the past 9 years I have been helped by David every time I was in pain. Great and honest advice and targeted treatment whether it was a sprain, a strain, a break, or recovery sessions getting back on track after a hip surgery. Very effective and gets excellent Results !

Fantastic experience: I received excellent care at the practise for pain in my back, which has now gone. Darcey was brilliant and very professional. I would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to the Physio Practice since May this year for an Achilles tendon injury, which had completely stopped me running from a point where I ran four times a week. I couldn’t even walk up stairs! From there, David and Darcy diagnosed, sorted a treatment program, and used their fantastic knowledge and experience to tell me what was happening every step of the way. At each stage they listened to my experience and adjusted their treatment. I’ve now been running again for a month and am confident I know enough to stay injury-free. All in all, it’s been a first rate, personalised service that I can’t rate highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I came to see Dave Healy in quite a lot of pain in my hip. He found the sore spot straight away, gave me a massage and managed to make it feel a lot better after one session. By the end of my 3rd session the soreness had gone to such an extent I only needed one more session. The combination of exercises that Dave gave me along with his excellent treatment made it so much better thank you Dave

Fantastic experience: The experience was very good, I can see my progress after the consultations and the physiotherapist is a very warm and kind when it comes to working. As well as he gives great advice on what to do outside of the therapy

Fantastic experience: I am using the Physio Practice for long now - it is very lucky to have guys on "my doorstep", in the same sports centre I am working. The Physio Practice is my "lifesaver" in situations happen with someone who is related to sports (as I am). Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I went to Darcey with a shoulder pain and through each session I made rapid progress with his help. Darcey provided me with a good set of exercises, tried different methods such as soft tissue massage, stretching and gave me good tips on posture. He is extremely professional, polite and I would recommend him without any hesitation. Right from the start I got exercises, appointments and information sent to me promptly by The Physio Practice. Great service!

Fantastic experience: My long term health problems have made so much easier with the expert assistance by this practice. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Very professional, caring and approachable. Could not recommend them too highly. .

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to the Physio Practice for the past few years for various injuries from athletics (sprinting) - from torn hamstrings to shin splints and back issues. David, his physio therapists and massage specialists have helped me stay injury and pain free, and recover to be stronger than before. I've used the PRP injection service and shockwave therapy, which were also very useful for me. David is an absolute wizard and I could not recommend him and the other services the physio practice offers more.

Fantastic experience: Injured by back playing golf and Dave assessed me and gave me some back stretching exercises to do, which had me moving around pain free within a couple of weeks.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had acute sciatica for over three months and David has really helped me through. Post MRI he’s given me significant advice on rehabilitation and getting back to my exercise routine. He’s always clear in his advice and instruction and is hands on - he’ll work on the muscles etc to allow you to get moving again, something I really value in a physio. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Dave at the Physio Practice. I hurt my knee playing golf and thought I’d struggle to play again. Dave expertly diagnosed the problem, treated my knee and gave me rehab exercises which have successfully got me back on the golf course. Thank you Dave!

Fantastic experience: From the first session, muscles that had been locked in spasm were unlocked – dramatically reducing the sciatic pain that had slowed me down for months. From there, each hands-on session has increased my mobility and I’ve now got a tailored plan of activities to re-build my strength – can't wait to get back on my bike in time for summer! I cannot recommend David and the Physio Practice team highly enough for their expert, compassionate, effective care.

Fantastic experience: I saw David Healy about a lingering knee injury and he was helpful, knowledgable and friendly. I’d highly recommend this practice to anyone needing physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant, feel like a new young woman. So grateful. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Great, professional and knowledgeable physios ! I've been seeing dave for years now and he's such a great all round nice guy. His examinations and mechanical work really help you get back into shape . Look no further than the physio practice !

Positive experience: Very good sports massage.

Fantastic experience: Over the past few years I’ve seen David for a variety of sports injuries, the latest being a broken ankle. Due to David’s fantastic physio I managed to complete a 100km walk 7 months post break, a few blisters but I won’t blame David for those! Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: Friendly and professional service, recovery was completed - thank you!

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly recommend David Healey and his colleagues at The Physio Practice. I have been seeing David on and off for over 10 years due to my own sporting injuries and maintenance requirements - my wife and both teenage children have also used the practice and all found the treatment extremely beneficial. Great expertise, manner and treatment (suitably 'hands-on' as needed) and whether an injury, niggle or maintenance I always head to David and his team. Fantastic!

Fantastic experience: Over the last 20yrs i have seen a handful of sports injury therapists...whilst running and cycling. But since i have had treatment from David Healey, (10months) i have seen and felt the best results. From start to finish of my appointment i receive a thorough session. He often finds me an appointment at short notice in order to keep me exercising and on the bike. i always leave more positive. Jonathan also accommodates me around my working hours. If a sport is an important part in your daily life, i strongly recommend The Physio Practice for regular maintenance for fitness and mental wellbeing!

Fantastic experience: Best physio in town

Fantastic experience: I was despairing of getting my shoulder injury improved until my GP recommended David Healy and now it is hugely improved. I strongly recommend this practice.

Fantastic experience: I have confidence in David and find him patient, effective and informative in dealing with chronic issues, which for me are largely age related.

Fantastic experience: Superb care, excellent diagnosis with a range of treatments to get you back to your old self in no time. I cannot recommend the Physio Practice enough! If you need a tune up because something doesn't feel quite right or if you have a more acute problem I always feel much better after a treatment.

Fantastic experience: I have been struggling with shin pain for quite a while, despite modifying activities and trying out different treatments. David was able to diagnose the problem very quickly and identified any aggravating factors. In less than an hour, I was leaving the Practice with a positive outlook and a set of steps I need to complete in order to return to full health. I am now confident that I am not making the problem worse anymore and that I finally am on the road to recovery.

Fantastic experience: I went to visit David for the first time with a terrible pain in my two shoulders, I couldn't sleep properly for months and I couldn't put my arms up... In the first appointment he resolved my sleeping problem and that night was my first good sleep after a few months and my shoulders became so much better... after the 4th session, 4 weeks later, I forgot about the pain and my arms are working almost perfectly, I just need to do some exercises that he gave me. I highly recommend his knowledge and experience in treating injures effectively. I am delighted!

Fantastic experience: Dave and his team have been brilliant at treating and managing my ongoing back problem for years. Highly recommend for thorough, knowledgeable and responsive treatment.

Fantastic experience: I have seen David a few time over the past couple of years, dealing with a range of issues, from knees to hips and rhomboid problems. Must say that I am super impressed with their professionalism, friendliness and most of all ability to sort out ailments (after all that is why I go there, ailments!). I would highly recommend The Physio Practice and David for anyone who needs a Physiotherapist in Oxford.

Fantastic experience: I had been using chiropractor treatments for 12 years for an ongoing back complaint until someone recommended I try physiotherapy with Dave. After the first appointment my severe back pain was gone and I had a follow up appointment to learn some core strengthening exercises. Dave was really down to earth and explained clearly what was going on and how I could help myself to improve my condition. I highly recommend The Physio Practice.

Fantastic experience: David Healy and William Bourne-Taylor are outstanding physiotherapists whom it is a pleasure to recommend with enthusiasm and complete confidence. I have the highest regard for them.

Fantastic experience: Professional and effective. I have had physio treatment from David for past 3 years whenever I have issues and he has been able to sort my problems out quickly and effectively. I also attend Pilates classes run by Will and these are great hard work, professionally taught with individual needs and quality of the exercises attended to. I highly recommend this physio practice for all your physio needs.

Fantastic experience: After my football injury David was able to very quickly diagnose, quite a complex problem and provided treatment at a time that fitted in with my work hours. After just a few treatments and a series of exercises I was back playing football pain free.
