Move Physio and Pilates

Fantastic experience: Gillian was so friendly and made me feel so comfortable she was very knowledgeable and thoroughly checked over everything I required after my c-section.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Gillian and Move Physio and Pilates for your physio needs. I first went to Gillian for KCR treatment to realigns my body to reduce pain and improve my posture due to osteoarthritis in my knee. I have also received other treatments. Gillian.is friendly and professional. She listens to what your issues are and explains treatment is a clear way.

Fantastic experience: I went to Move Physio because after having my baby I didn't want to be using pads forever..! I was pretty nervous but Gillian totally put me at ease and gave me pelvic floor exercises that fit into busy mum life. They made such a difference and I'm so much more confident exercising again. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I visited Gillian at Move Physio and Pilates to improve my pelvis floor health . (After years of doctor appointments to no avail ) The treatment she delivered was professional, kind and knowledgeable. Pelvic floor muscles and health began to improve. I received great follow up emails and advice , which were easy to fit in to a busy day . Overall a great experience, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Used for private Physio and also pilates sessions to treat a back injury while pregnant. Gillian was amazing and made the pilates sessions pregnancy friendly for me. I was able to keep active and take part throughout my whole pregnancy. I was warned I might be in crutches in third trimester and I truly believe that Gillian and her pilates classes played a major role in my recovery. Thank you for accommodating my needs!

Fantastic experience: I've been seeing Gillian for just shy of a year since my C-section and her scar treatment as well as pelvic health advice and support has been invaluable to me! She's improved my post partum experience ten-fold and after a rough pregnancy has really helped me get back to myself! It's not just that either, she really listens and takes on the whole picture and bases her advice and treatment on that. I always look forward to my appointment as she always so friendly and understanding, and made me feel much better mentally and physically.

Fantastic experience: I saw Gillian after the birth of my baby. She was brilliant. She clearly explained where damage had occurred and gave me a set of exercises that I can fit into my week around having a newborn. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her service to any new mums!

Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend Gillian enough. I had been suffering for months with pain down my left leg which was worsening and spreading. From the first consult she was amazing. She thoroughly examined my leg and hip, comparing mobility and strength between my right leg and left. After anslysing the ussue and my current exercisr regime. She, not only created a comprehensive programme of stretches and exercises to alleviate my pain and movement issue with my left leg, but advised on how I should adapt my exercise regime to ensure the issue would not return but would also improve my overall core strength, mobility and general health. She provided clear instructions and videos for exercises and was there every step of the way with regular check ins. I will definitely be back if any other issues arise.

Fantastic experience: Saw Gillian for post natal c section scar massage and advice. She’s really professional and knowledgeable, and really put me at ease. Have recommended her to friends. Definitely worth a visit for any ladies recently who have ever had a baby!

Fantastic experience: I had a very weak pelvic floor but with consistent pilates and physio with Gillian it improved immensely!! Gillian is so professional and knowledgeable, I would highly recommend her services.

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience going to Move Physio and Pilates for my physiotherapy treatment! Gill is professional but friendly and very knowledgeable! She explained everything clearly, I felt better after my first appointment and treatment and she helped me to make a plan to ensure this improvement continued! I would recommend Move and Gill to anyone looking for physiotherapy support.

Fantastic experience: Gill was amazing. So friendly and welcoming. Really sorted out my back pain which had been pestering me for years. Had tried chiropractors and sports massage before but Gill is the only person I'd go to now for joint and muscle pain

Fantastic experience: Gillian has been amazing at getting me back into Pilates after a gap of a few years due to health issues. I’ve had 1:1 sessions which have been excellent in teaching me the correct positions and she can focus on my weakness areas such as upper body and back. I’m also attending her classes and because it’s only 6 people max in a class everyone gets the support and guidance they need. She provides all the equipment including mats so all we need to do is turn up. Located in Gladstone place is nice and central with plenty free parking around in the evenings. I can’t recommend her enough. It’s so important to keep stretching and strengthening as we get older and Gillian is there to support us every step of the way in a friendly and welcoming environment.

Fantastic experience: Gillian successfully treated my rotator cuff injury. She was knowlegeable, professional and very thorough. I am very happy to recommend her to others.

Fantastic experience: When I first went to see Gillian I had a couple of problems. Firstly, I was suffering from tendonitis in my wrist and frequent headaches from muscle tension in my shoulders and neck - both painful and meaning I had to take painkillers regularly. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Gillian’s knowledge, expertise and professional, friendly approach put me at ease straight away. After a few sessions and exercises to do at home, my tendonitis disappeared and my tension headaches greatly reduced. I would highly recommend Gillian’s services - she’s brilliant at what she does and she improved the quality of my everyday life tenfold!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Move Physio for help with my back, carrying a toddler around was causing issues and pain. Gill was extremely friendly and welcoming, asked specific questions prior to starting treatment and was able to pin point the areas causing the pains. She has consistently been able to help and support me and my back pain, making life much easier. I would always recommend her to friends and family.

Fantastic experience: Gill was the first person I ever went to for physio I felt so relaxed as soon as I got in she talked me through everything and helped improve my back pain with my personal exercise routine!

Fantastic experience: Really great experience with Gillian. Found her to be very knowledgeable, and she explained/set out the treatment plan so I knew exactly what to expect / how to move forward and get back to fitness. Highly recommend. Definitely going to try Pilates too soon!

Fantastic experience: Gill is a wonderful , skilled and caring physiotherapist. She's treated me previously with KCR and manual therapy techniques. Highly recommend her practice "Move Physio and Pilates" in Stirling

Fantastic experience: I had long term shoulder pain and Gillian made me feel at ease straight away. She helped to relieve the pain and show me ways to stop it returning. Would recommend Move Physio & Pilates and will be visiting again. Thank you Gillian!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Gillian enough! From the very first session, she made me feel completely at ease with her friendly, professional approach. She took the time to really understand my concerns and tailored a treatment plan that was both effective and manageable. Thanks to her expertise and encouragement, I've made incredible progress and am now moving pain-free for the first time in months. Her knowledge, patience, and genuine care truly set her apart. If you're looking for a physiotherapist who goes above and beyond, Gillian is the one!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Gillian for a postpartum check at 6 weeks pp for getting back to exercise after being disappointed by my doctors 6 week check. She was so thorough and made me feel really comfortable too. I don’t think I’d have been anywhere near as confident to get back exercising without and she gave me specific exercises to strengthen what I needed. It felt so valuable in getting me back to exercising and so feeling more like myself.

Fantastic experience: I recently had a C-section Therapy session with Gillian, and I’m so glad I went. After having two C-sections just over a year apart, supporting my recovery has been really important to me and this session was exactly what I needed. Gillian carried out a full postnatal assessment (pelvic floor, ab separation, hips and lower back), followed by a gentle scar massage to help with tightness and swelling. I noticed a difference straight away, especially with the puffiness above my scar. I left feeling lighter, more mobile, and much more confident in how I’m healing. She also helped release tension in my lower back and reassured me that everything was progressing well, which gave me such peace of mind. Gillian is kind, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about women’s health. I’ll definitely be going back and would highly recommend her to any new mums needing support with recovery or just some expert TLC.

Fantastic experience: Gillian has really helped me with a long standing issue I’ve had with my lower back and hip. She is patient, reassuring and extremely knowledgeable. She takes time to listen and is very thorough. I highly recommend Gillian to anyone who is looking for an excellent physio.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Gillian's pilates class. She is very knowledgeable and can adapt exercises to accommodate injuries/weaknesses. A fun and welcoming environment!

Fantastic experience: Gillian is a really brilliant Pilates teacher…she guided a novice like me through the class, ensuring that I was doing all of the moves properly. Be warned, she misses nothing and will not tolerate any slacking! I would totally recommend

Fantastic experience: Very enjoyable, perfectly pitched pilates amd nice small class sizes. Gillian is reassuring and ensures all movement is done safely and correctly by each individual.

Fantastic experience: Couldn't be more positive about how Gillian has helped me. Having had spinal surgery in April 2024 for a protruding L5/S1 disc I had been having physio and was then recommended after c 6months to move to someone who does Pilates plus physio and I found Gillian who has tailored sessions for my needs and accommodated my crazy work schedule. Highly recommed

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to get treatment from Gill here in Northern Ireland before she moved to Scotland. Easily the best physio I have ever been too. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Gillian helped me through a running injury, with great advice and support. With a combination of physio, massage and a range of strength and balance building exercises I was able to recover in time to run a marathon. Really first class service and recommended!

Fantastic experience: Gillian is the first physio I've seen that has got to the route of my issue in the first session (and I've seen many). She is so professional, knowledgeable and helpful. The difference I've seen in my shoulder injury is night and day. The aftercare that goes into her service is second to none, first time I've been given proper exercises to repair an injury and prevent it from coming back. Can't recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Gillian since the start of the year for a shoulder injury. I’ve been to physio before, but Gillian is the only one to identify the root cause of the issue and give me progressive exercises to prevent reoccurring flare ups. I’ve been able to get back to full mobility and strength in the gym - in January I was unable to do any sort of weighted exercise so I’m REALLY happy with how it’s worked out. Gillian listens, she’s fun to spend the hour with and I look forward to the massage she does, even if it’s sore! I know it’s doing all the right things and sorting me out. Brilliant physio. I recommend to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I went to pilates classes with Gillian for 2 yrs the classes were small which meant we all progressed steadily and she helped correct individual positions as needed, never a dull moment stopped only because of relocation. I really miss the classes and some of my stiffness has returned! I would highly recommend classes.

Fantastic experience: Gillian Stewart lovely physio. Kept me moving. So sad she has decided to return to Scotland and I have to find someone as good. Good luck in the future Gillian . Very much missed.

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Move if you have any need for a physio Gillian is an awesome person, I have had 2 previous poor experiences with other physiotherapists who did nothing for me but left me in constant pain for over 12 years. Gillian is a good listener and works out a plan for you and is also available to contact if needed I would highly recommend Move. I now have a better quality of life and less pain thanks to Gillian.

Fantastic experience: Gillian is excellent at what she does, has a lot of patience with her clients and was always there providing top class service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Gillian is amazing at what she does. Very professional and friendly. Couldn’t recommend her enough. So sad she is leaving us. She has helped me through all of injuries and I am now pain free!

Fantastic experience: Gillian is not only a lovely girl but amazing at what she does. I would go in with a headache and come out without. Would recommend gillian 100%

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Gillian for the past 3 years for both physio and sports massage. Northern Ireland’s loss is Scotland’s gain as Gillian is a talented and diligent practitioner. I always leave a session feeling renewed and better informed as to how to continue being in a state of wellness. Thanks

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Gillian for around 12 months or more. Started with physio due to an injury. Ongoing then has been maintenance on a sports massage basis. Both methods Gillian showed a huge level of experience, knowledge of our sport and dedication to the job. Keeping a Crossfiter in any kind of mobile shape is no easy task. Would not hesitate to recommend.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic, highly recommend. Knew exactly how to diagnose and treat my injury straight away. Thanks Gillian

Fantastic experience: Fixed my shoulder and hips. Absolutely the best!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Gillian. Brilliant physio who was able to resolve an old injury on my ankle and calf from falling down some stairs. Worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: I went to Gillian with hip pain, she is so thorough with each session and after the exercises/ Stretches she gave me I'm in such a better place, never thought I would be walking the Mournes with my husband. Would highly recommend her, best physio around.

Fantastic experience: I went to Gillian with shoulder/neck issues and within a couple of sessions I was pain free. Having continued with the stretches and advice provided, I remain that way too. Can't recommend Gillian highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Gillian is fantastic physio- always going the extra mile to help! Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Gillian is excellent and very skilled at her job. She listens to your issue and works to improve it. She will give good advice or alternative movements for the interim to keep you moving.

Fantastic experience: Gillian is the best physio I’ve been to. She takes the time to really understand the root of your pain/issue and I’m yet to have an injury she hasn’t been able to sort out. 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Can’t speak highly enough of Gillian and how she has helped me get back to squatting post Meniscus injury. Not only her insight, work and advice for the physical recovery but mental battles throughout injury as well. Love having her in my corner

Fantastic experience: I came to Gillian with a long term knee injury, I was very limited in what exercise I could do and hadn't been able to run in over 10yrs, with no results from 3 previous physios. Gillian understood the problem straight away and we have worked through a program of home exercises which suited my busy life. I'm delighted with the progress and have just started light jogging, working towards 5k which I thought was beyond me just a few months ago. I would highly recommend Gillian to anyone struggling with an injury!

Fantastic experience: Gillian was extremely professional and helpful with my hamstring injury. Highly recommend for anyone with ongoing or new injurys.

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Gillian more! Very friendly and great at helping me understand what the problem is and the steps to fixing it. Thank you for all your help!

Fantastic experience: Gillian's service was amazing. Can't fault her. She let me talk about my issue and then spoke to me in detail about what was wrong and how she would sort it. Feeling so much better now.

Fantastic experience: Went to Gillian with severe knee pain following a weekend hiking the Mourne Way. The issue was identified almost immediately, a few sessions involving a combination of sports massage and curriculum of injury-specific stretches and exercises (with instructional videos all accessible via a web portal) I was back to being more active than I had been in years. Can't recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Gillian was brilliant. I went to her with pain and a limp and she massaged knots away that I didn't realise I had. I followed Gillian's daily stretching exercises for two weeks and 99% of my pain has gone and I can walk without my stick. If you're in pain, don't hesitate to book yourself in.

Fantastic experience: Gillian is fantastic and made me feel really comfortable from the offset!! She was extremely attentive, professional and knowledgeable. After 1 session I already know that she has me on the road to recovering from my injuries, that were the result of a road traffic accident. I am looking forward to my next session already. Thank you Gillian

Fantastic experience: Gillian warmly welcomed and introduced me to Move Physio and Pilates. She first asked question's we talked things through and she then starting working her magic. I was booked in for a sports massage and that’s exactly what I got. I literally feel released and free. I will definitely be using Gillian again in the future. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Gillian you are amazing, I can’t thank you enough for keeping me right. As a competitive Powerlifter my body staying injury free and ready for the platform is crucial. I have fortnightly check ups and maintenance treatment with Gillian , always supporting and advising. I competed yesterday and brought home the Gold. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I first started getting treated by Gill through a recurring shoulder injury. Her treatments and injury management techniques are the best I have experienced from a physio. I’ve also been going to her Pilates classes since January of this year and can highly recommend them for beginners and those more familiar with Pilates as a regular form of exercise. A full hours class during which you don’t feel the time going by at all, each session is well structured with a nice variance in positions and technique from week to week. I throughly look forward to each class and enjoy the pace of each session where you can push yourself as far as you are comfortable with and with encouragement and helpful repositioning, push yourself a bit further too than you might think!

Fantastic experience: I went to Gillian after months of a niggling hip injury which was affecting a lot of my movements, particularly squatting. I had previously been to another physiotherapist who seemed to have fixed it but the injury just kept reoccurring. I went to Gillian for a second opinion and right from the get go she was testing movements the previous physio hadn’t.. Gillian picked up pretty quickly that my left leg wasn’t functioning how it should and that my main problem was actually my hamstring and adductor! Fast forward a few months and I am back to full squatting with no pain! This is all down to Gillian’s excellent hands-on manipulation mixed with the exercises she gave me to perform on a weekly basis. Her explanation of everything was brilliant and the videos she provided for the exercises were amazing.

Fantastic experience: Since starting with Gillian at Move physio I’ve been the healthiest and most injury free of my sporting career. I was plagued with a back injury spanning over 10 years that no amount of physio, chiropractor or sports massage could fix, Gillian not only found the cause but corrected the issue within 4 weeks without stopping me from training. She’s without a doubt one of the best in the game. Highly recommended! 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Move Physio for around 6 months, initially for neck pain, which was resolved after one session, and now for general maintenance. Gillian provides an excellent and extremely professional service. I would recommend Move Physio to anyone!!

Fantastic experience: Gillian has been great! I fractured three bones in my foot and I am back to crossfit and beginning to gradually increase my running/ usual activities I would’ve done previously. Without her I would not have gained the confidence, strength or stability in my ankle and foot. She really has helped me get back on my feet.

Fantastic experience: Went to Gillian with a pain in my hip flexor, she immediately found the issue, explained to me how it was being caused and within two sessions the pain was gone. Very knowledgeable and gave me exercises to work on to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Friendly and makes you feel welcome. Couldn’t recommend Gillian enough

Fantastic experience: Gillian was very thorough in her assessment of my running injury and was spot on with her treatment. I felt so much better after she worked on the muscle and have some exercises to do before a follow up appointment.

Fantastic experience: Gillian gave me a thorough initial assessment, extremely effective treatment and appropriate exercises to do at home. I would definitely recommend her.

Fantastic experience: What problem were you trying to solve when you contacted Balloo Physiotherapy and Wellness Clinic? I've had a bad back for the last 10-15 years I wanted to improve and fell better in everyday life. What was this problem stopping you from doing or impacting your day to day life? I had overall back pain. My shoulders are so tight and everything just hurt. I was working but it wasn't fun. Did you have any worries or concerns about trying Balloo Physiotherapy and Wellness Clinic? None. What changes did you notice after the first few sessions? After the first season my back felt loser and the exercises really helped me maintain it at home. What did you like in particular about your experience with Balloo Physiotherapy and Wellness Clinic? Gillian is so lovely, warm and welcoming. Every session with her is great and she's makes you feel really comfortable. How did you find your therapist at Balloo Physiotherapy and Wellness Clinic? Google, she was one of the closest physio's to me What are you now able to get back doing in day to day life as a result of attending Balloo Physiotherapy and Wellness Clinic? I feel 100% better, I've been able to take up new hobbies and I feel stronger. If you were to recommend Balloo Physiotherapy and Wellness Clinic to your best friend, what would you say? I already have. Gillian is amazing, she takes the time to really get to know your problems and work with you on fixing them. If someone was unsure about coming to Balloo Physiotherapy and Wellness Clinic, what would you tell them? It's worth trying. It made me feel so much better and I genuinely couldn't recommend her enough Is there anything else you’d like to add? The atmosphere, care and attention Gillian provides are second to none. She always remembers what's going on in my life and asks me about it even after 4 or 5 months between sessions. Try her. You won't be disappointed

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend the place enough, booked in for a sports massage to sort out the niggles that come with getting older and training everyday. Gillian was able to get even the most stubborn knots out of my back.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic service and has really helped with my sports recovery. I had real issues with pain in my calves when squatting and Gillian was able to identify the issue and help me fix my training within two visits and help with my recovery. My squatting has since improved and I’ve added 15kg to my lift - pain free. The clinic came recommended from a friend and now I couldn’t see myself going anywhere else. Gillian is really knowledgable and welcoming, and it’s a place where I can relax and enjoy the self-care. Plus, extremely reasonable price for the level of service you receive. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend enough!
