Vida Physio Romsey

Fantastic experience: I came to Tom following a referral from another physiotherapist, as I was looking for shockwave therapy as part of my treatment for plantar fasciitis. The combination of Tom’s equipment, experience and knowledge has put me firmly on the path towards a full recovery. Before seeing Tom, I had been dealing with the issue for around 8–9 months, so it had become a persistent problem. What I particularly appreciate is that Tom doesn’t just focus on relieving the symptoms. He also takes the time to identify and address the underlying root cause of the problem, which has given me much more confidence in achieving a long-term recovery. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone dealing with a similar issue.

Fantastic experience: I contacted Tom at Vida after struggling on for a few months with a very painful achilles tendon. It was stopping me from playing hockey, running, padel, in fact it was painful all the time, even walking the dog and walking around the house. Tom diagnosed tendonopathy and tendonitis and recommended a course of electrotherapy treatment. I had 6 sessions booked and after 2 couldn't really see any improvement. The pain was still present and I was unable to do any real physical cardio activity. I was frustrated with progress, but Tom assured me that it takes time... we continued with about 7-10 days between sessions.  I religiously did the eccentric exercises together with all the tips Tom gave, and after 4 sessions really started to see improvement. I could walk pain-free and start to push off the injured foot to think about running. Initially just limited to 2k and subsequently further. I have now completed 6 sessions, and am back to running 6k, playing hockey (not entirely pain free but manageable with breaks) Back to Padel and all gym exercises with no issue. I have a couple more sessions booked with Tom to hopefully get me back to 100% - with a 10k booked in for mid October, plus a season of hockey to play. I have been impressed with the treatment I have received. I have always been prepared to put the time in to rehab myself and strictly follow Toms guidelines. I now feel strong and stable and am increasing use of the tendon. I would definitely recommend Tom and Vida and am very grateful for the fact I am early 50's and have been put back together.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Tom following a wrist fracture and he’s been brilliant. I really like his practical, clear approach, which was so reassuring when I was feeling a bit nervous at the start. The different treatments, including massage and cupping, have been great, and I love that he measures your progress so you can actually see the improvement week by week. Would definitely recommend Tom!

Fantastic experience: I'm a horse rider who's primary competitive sport is endurance riding. I came to Tom following a word of mouth recommendation. About 3.5 years ago I fell down a flight of stairs and damaged the tendons and ligaments in my left ankle. I originally went for a pattern of rest and gradual return to exercise but the ankle never felt as strong as it had previously and I re-injured it 6-7 times over the next 3 years either by rolling my ankle on rough ground or after a violent spook by my horse. I was unable to compete or even ride for over an hour or at speed even less time without pain, so after the most recent reinjury in March I went to see Tom. Through structured treatment with multiple methods, a regularly updated rehab plan and an understanding physio the improvement over the last 4 months has been brilliant. So much so that I'm back to racing 80km without worrying about my ankle and even recently rode a 180km trek without a setback. Tom has been brilliant every step of the way from managing my expectations through to adapting treatment as I've explained the demands of my individual sport and personal restrictions. The clinic is easy to access with easy parking, just allow a little extra time for potential Romsey traffic if coming from that direction.

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best physio experience. Tom's experience shines through. I felt in good hands from my first appointment and following his advice I was back to good health and full activity. Can't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I contacted Tom at Vida Physio after suffering persistent issues relating to my hamstring and glute muscles/tendons on one side. Tom provided a thorough assessment and was able to track my progress via several muscle imbalance tests, providing results via an app along with a custom exercise program which was updated and adapted as I progressed and re-tested. Along with providing exercises Shockwave therapy was also utilised and provided a noticeable difference in the early course of treatment. I have made significant progress with my rehab and overall performance as a runner and functional fitness and potentially can see a path to being better than before due to areas I previously neglected in my training being identified. I would thoroughly recommend Tom and Vida Physio.

Fantastic experience: I received treatment from Tom for five months following an injury that initially appeared to be recent but also revealed an older injury that had never been treated. Throughout my recovery, Tom was excellent to work with. He listened carefully to my concerns, adapted my treatment plan when needed, and provided consistent support throughout. Thanks to his expertise and guidance, I have made a full recovery and regained the confidence to return to any activities I choose. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone seeking professional and effective physiotherapy treatment.

Fantastic experience: Having just completed the Race to the Stone 50k Ridegway which was an epic hot day....not to mention the journey have being on over the last 6 months...with a lot of pain in my knees from another 50k I approached Tom of Vida Physio to see if he could help with my aches and pains especially my knees.. Tom provided great experience and put me on a daily physio routine which did not impact my workload and life. Within a few weeks I could notice the difference in that my balance was much better and the pain in my knees was reducing. This was over a 3 month period of rehab which without my RTTS race would have not being possible! Highly recommend Tom for anyone with sports injuries and niggles!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! I recently went to see Tom for some urgent help with a calf injury that I suffered just a couple of weeks before a long distance cycling trip. He quickly diagnosed the problem and came up with a plan. A couple of sessions of treatment and a physio plan of daily exercises got me back to fitness in time for the trip. I definitely wouldn’t have been going without Tom’s help. I can highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for physio and in particular help with sports related injuries. Thanks again Tom

Fantastic experience: I’d definitely recommend Tom. I went to see him with shin splints that weren’t improving, and with his treatment and advice, I’m now back running without any pain. I’m actually running more often and covering longer distances than I was before the injury. He explained everything clearly, gave me exercises that were easy to follow, and made the whole recovery process straightforward. Tom was reassuring, realistic with exercise recommendations and made sure I could keep running without injuring myself further.

Fantastic experience: Had a knee injury visited Bethany for 4 treatments, lovely person, did an amazing job & my knee is back to normal, highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Tom at Vida for shock wave therapy after months of suffering from plantar fasciitis. Along with exercises my condition has improved significantly after several sessions. Tom has been great by fully explaining my condition and planning an exercise schedule for me to do alongside the shock wave therapy and to prevent future problems. I thoroughly recommend seeing Tom as he is extremely knowledgeable, professional and friendly in his approach.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Beth at Vida Physio for lower back pain, and she has been fantastic. Not only is she very professional, asking lots of questions and really listening to what I was saying, but she’s also super friendly, and making me feel very comfortable. She pays great attention to detail, combining physical exercises with massage, and I’ve had great improvement in my back pain since seeing her. The Vida Physio clinic itself is very clean and well equipped - I would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Beth is knowledgeable, patient, and kind. She quickly identified the root cause of my back issue, and within six weeks—thanks to her tailored exercises—I was pain-free and able to return to my daily routine and weightlifting.

Fantastic experience: Beth was great at helping with my back pain. I had pain for over 10 years which improved a lot in the few months that I had physio. She is very professional and knowledgable.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Beth at Vida earlier this year to help with shin splints that I had whilst training for a spring marathon. With her help and a good strength programme, I was able to take minimal time off running and have been running pain free since. I made it through Brighton marathon last week which I don't think my body would have been able to do without Beths advice. She is now helping me strengthen different parts of my body following some strength testing that'll allow me to continue running pain free in the long run and improve my overall performance:)) Will definitely be using Vida for any other problems that I have in the future

Fantastic experience: Tom was excellent throughout my recovery from a partial dislocation of my left shoulder. What really stood out was that he listened properly and looked at the full picture, not just the shoulder itself. I was also dealing with pain into my arm, tightness in my pec, instability, and reduced range of motion, and Tom took all of that into account. He used proper testing to identify what needed work and gave me measurable ways to track progress, which made a huge difference. Before seeing Tom, I genuinely thought I might never get back to lifting weights or powerlifting properly again. Since October 2025, I’ve been back to full training, and I’ve now even surpassed where I was before the injury — currently with a 130kg bench, 175kg squat, and 225kg deadlift — while being able to do 99% of exercises pain free. Tom’s sports physio background really showed, because he understood how important it was for me not just to recover, but to get back to full strength and confidence again. I’d 100% recommend him to anyone, especially if you’re serious about returning to training or sport. EDIT: I have just hit 140KG 1RM on Bench Press with no shoulder issues or discomfort. A testament to Toms work.

Fantastic experience: Vida Physio has been able to get my physical ability back to places I didn't think I would be able to achieve again following a knee surgery! It has been me confidence to play contact sport, take part on 30 mile mountain hikes and start on new athletic challenges without having to worry about not being able to it and being in pain. I continue to go see Tom regularly to keep on top of my strength and fitness, plus it is always great to have a chat as they are really down to earth. Spending money on your on physical wellbeing is one of the most valuable things you can do. I would recommend to anyone who is recovering from an injury who wants to get back to, and beyond their sports goals! Cheers Tom

Fantastic experience: I recently suffered a running-related knee injury that left me unable to run without pain. Fast forward a few months, and I’m back to running with my knee and legs stronger than ever, all thanks to Tom! Tom was great throughout the entire process. He took the time to really break down what my injury was and why it happened, which I found incredibly helpful. He provided tailored exercises specifically for me and ran me through comprehensive tests to ensure I was truly ready to get back to running. He didn't just fix the issue, he has taught me how to rehab my knee and continue building strength.

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Tom at Vida Physio after I had high tibial osteotomy surgery in October 2025. Due to the surgery, I was non-weight bearing on the leg for six weeks which left it weak and stiff. Tom's approach was to assess how the knee/ leg was healing and provide a specific plan, first to get me walking and using my leg properly, then to strengthen it to enable me to get back to playing some level of football and back on the bike. Fast forward six months and I'm regularly on the bike and playing football again. What is great about Tom's approach is he measures my leg strength and provides quantitative data so I can track my progress. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tom at Vida Physio. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Tom for physio for 11 years and he is exceptional. His diagnosis and treatment are always spot on and his focus is always on getting you back to doing what you love doing - in my case running. Tom always gives advice on exercises to help build strength to help prevent further injury. In 2021 I could barely walk due to a herniated disc in my back and Tom was unbelievable at fixing it and getting me back - along with a whole suite of exercises to help prevent a future occurrence. It was literally life changing. I have also seen Beth on numerous occasions, she is also terrific and between them they make a brilliant Physio practice. Cannot recommend too highly.

Fantastic experience: Excellent physio. Helped our son recover from a buckle fracture and get back to rugby quickly and safely. Very professional, reassuring, and great communication throughout. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Tom’s advice and treatment have been invaluable in my recovery over the past few months - I can’t recommend him highly enough! I have a history of shoulder instability and rotator cuff problems, and Tom was brilliant from the start. His extensive knowledge and experience allowed him to quickly understand the issues I was describing, and he explained my injury patterns in a way that made sense and provided a plausible rationale for the shoulder and arm problems I was experiencing. He devised an app-based exercise program for me, featuring unusual (but effective!) exercises that I hadn’t come across before. Additionally, he provided various hands-on treatments, including massage, fascia release, and shockwave therapy, all of which resulted in significant improvement. Tom excelled at tailoring the treatment program to me as an individual, continually adjusting his approach based on the feedback that I provided during follow up appointments and looking beyond the obvious symptoms to determine the root causes of my problems. When my improvement started to plateau, he recognised that my shoulder issues were partly related to a stiff thoracic spine, so adapted his treatment plan to reflect that, rather than just replicating then initial treatment plan over and over again! Tom is very approachable, always willing to explain likely diagnoses and treatments, and he happily answers all my questions. I’m thrilled with the progress I’ve made so far which has far exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend him to anyone struggling with sports-related injuries.

Fantastic experience: Two weeks after my open rotator cuff surgery I started my physiotherapy with Tom, thinking, how can my shoulder ever be back to anywhere near how it used to be. 5 months down the line, I have to stop and think which shoulder was injured. Im now pain free, with full mobility and strength back. The recovery time usingToms structured, caring approach to rehabilitation surprised even my surgeon I cannot recommend him enough ! Thank you Tom.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a physiotherapist following a foot injury last year and having moved back to the area within the last 3 years. As someone who does a lot of sport and works within the fitness industry a good physio is priceless. Tom is fantastic. Knowledge, approachable, enthusiastic, up to date and has a great location in Romsey. He helped me with my injury and then my son needed a physio at the end of last year and I didn’t hesitate to contact Tom who is now working with him so he is great with different age groups. I recommend Tom wholeheartedly.

Fantastic experience: Following a rather bad fall, I felt as though I had developed sciatica in my right hip. It is so easy to reduce mobility and take pain killers if you are hurting, but I was determined this should not happen. Tom did very simple tests to determine if indeed I did have sciatica, which fortunately I did not. As a senior, Tom was very understanding with regard to the complexity and number of exercises I could manage. Within a week, the pain in my hip had reduced, and I was able to walk without so much discomfort. Making sure I do my exercises every day, I am now walking without the aid of a stick. I will continue to see Tom occasionally to check up on my progress. Many thanks for your help and expertise.

Fantastic experience: I visited Tom following an injury to my hip flexor whilst playing cricket. He completed a thorough assessment and gave clear exercises to complete. With regular appointments, treatment during the sessions and exercise programme, helping me make a speedy recovery and getting my hip strength better then it ever was. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: From broken fast bowler to stronger and fitter than ever — Tom is exceptional. I’ve been working with Tom for over three years and was delighted to follow him to his new practice, Vida Physio. I was originally referred to Tom by a highly respected industry professional, which says a lot about his credentials and reputation—and he has more than lived up to that. After 20 years of playing cricket as a fast bowler, I was dealing with long-standing shoulder, lower back, knee and ankle injuries. Before working with Tom, things had reached the point where my injuries felt unmanageable and my physical activity had dropped to almost zero. I’d seen plenty of physios over the years who focused mainly on isolated symptoms. Tom was different. He took a genuinely holistic approach—using a wide range of treatment techniques, objective data, structured rehab and constant feedback—to break down the underlying issues and rebuild my movement patterns properly. The results speak for themselves. I now run regularly, train in the gym, and continue to work with Tom to build further resilience. This year I’ve returned to lifting similar weights to my pre-injury days—the heaviest in over four years—cut over 90 seconds off my 10k PB (beating a time I set 15 years ago), and ran a sub-20 minute 5k for the first time ever. On top of all that, Tom’s a great guy and a pleasure to work with. If you want a physio who really understands the bigger picture and delivers results, I can’t recommend Tom and Vida Physio highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Tom has been amazing at helping me come back from a quad tear sustained in the summer. Whether it be the various different treatments and high quality equipment that he has at his disposal, the exercises that he recommends via an app with videos to show you what to do, or the use of testing that enables him to to quantify the improvement you're making, he really is a first-class physio. He makes you feel like an elite athlete, even if maybe your physical abilities are maybe somewhat less! Add to that his relaxed, friendly manner and he really does offer the best physio services around. I would recommend him to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I had been suffering from hip pain and was fortunate enough to find Tom from Vida Physio. Tom was excellent in the way he helped me understand what the diagnosis was and the plan to address it. Over the course of treatment, Tom was great at the way he approached this, suggested and adjusted what was needed and ultimately led to my problem being fixed. If you need a physiotherapist who is superb at what he does and give you the best chance of a good outcome then Tom and Vida Physio would get my 100% recommendation. Thank you Tom!

Fantastic experience: Shoulder Injury/Bursitis I initially went to see Tom back in June with a shoulder injury as I was in a considerable amount of pain and needed help. A subsequent scan showed that I was also suffering from Bursitis in my shoulder. Tom knew exactly what was needed and he has been so helpful and reassuring throughout, he sorted out my initial problems and continues to support me to increase my general flexibility and overall fitness. He also provided a targeted exercise plan for me to follow whilst continuing my treatment. I have seen a massive improvement in my range of upper body movement and strength. Tom is extremely knowledgeable, thoroughly professional and has all the latest equipment which means he can target problem areas using the best treatment available. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Fantastic experience: Last October I came back from a long haul flight which we do every year with extreme pain in one of my legs. After many tests it was identified that it was muscle related and physio would be the best course of action. I have never been to physio prior to this injury and wasn’t sure what to expect. I have been seeing Tom since and he has been nothing but brilliant. We have worked together to identify where the pain was coming from and what initially was identified through the back gradually moved to the leg/foot. Tom provides an app with easy to understand exercises and really works with you to identify things that are manageable (and that can fit in with the day job!) Each time I have visited the pain has become less and less and things that became unmanageable are back to normal (if not better! ) Tom is very experienced and sets you at ease each visit. I have a year later now done my next long haul flight ( something I thought I wouldn’t be able to do again!) and feel excellent. I will continue to routinely now work with Tom to build up the muscle and seek the advice needed. If this is something you are hesitant about , book an appointment- you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Tom is a brilliant physio. I went in thinking I had plantar fasciitis but after a couple of visits he worked out it was linked to my tight calves. I was really struggling in the gym, in Taekwondo and walking on my foot for too long was really painful. Tom worked his magic and along with physio and exercises, I’m now able to go on long walks and get on with all my sports I love. He’s also friendly and makes you feel completely comfortable. Thoroughly recommend Vida Physio.

Fantastic experience: Had a ACL strain , Tom was amazing though my whole rehab. I was able to show him my scan results from a mri and he knew exactly what to do with the information. Was overall 16 weeks of rehab, seeing him ever few weeks for treatment and advice. Supporting my rehab the whole way on his app, text and in person. Also, he was good at keepingin contact with my fitness coach so my getting back to play plan run very smoothly. Couldn't be happier with Tom and his knowledge to help me get back to full fitness.

Fantastic experience: Tom is very knowledgable and professional. I saw him for a knee injury and have seen big improvements in my knee discomfort following his sessions and programmes, he is super helpful and will actively listen to what you have to say, whilst fully supporting you to continue doing your day to day activities or the sports you love! I brought my partner along to see him too, would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Wow, I’m a 55 year old mountain biker who on the 29th March 2025 crashed and broke my ankle in 3 places and dislocated my foot,that night I had surgery and some screws and a plate were fitted to hold it all together in the cast ,I was told I probably wouldn’t ride a bike for 10/12 months. As soon as the cast was removed and the hospital fitted me with a boot I contacted Tom at Vida Physio and asked him if he could help me get back to work and more importantly back on a bike. I started physio with Tom on the 8th May 2025 where he took some strength readings and calf measurements and he gave me some exercises to gently help me get movement back into my ankle,we also abandoned the boot,I saw him for one session a week for six weeks and I was soon back to work earlier than expected,I have since had a couple more sessions and I’m back riding my bike 6 months earlier than expected.You can book appointments with Tom online where he has evening appointments so it is very flexible around work commitments and it’s also excellent value for money considering that I could have been off work much longer.Tom is a great chap who explains and encourages every step of the way and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others or give him a call when I have my next crash.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Tom highly enough for anyone recovering from foot or ankle surgery. I came to him following peroneal tendon stabilisation surgery, and I was in a difficult place - experiencing significant pain and swelling, and unable to even put my foot flat on the floor. From our first session, Tom took a structured, goal-oriented approach. He set clear, measurable goals each week, which not only kept me motivated but allowed us both to track my progress systematically. This methodical approach proved incredibly effective - I achieved complete recovery ahead of schedule and was progressing faster than expected throughout the rehabilitation process. What really set Tom apart was his comprehensive approach to my recovery. Beyond the hands-on physiotherapy sessions, he provided invaluable guidance on everything from wound dressings to specific equipment that significantly accelerated my healing and progress. His expertise extended well beyond just the exercises - he truly understood the complete recovery process. Tom’s combination of clinical expertise, clear communication, and genuine care for his patients’ outcomes made what could have been a lengthy and frustrating recovery into a positive, confidence-building experience. If you’re facing a similar surgery or injury, Tom will get you back on your feet - literally and ahead of schedule

Fantastic experience: Vida physio and Tom have helped me massively recovering from and preventing further injury. Having injured myself following a marathon Vida gave me the support and confidence to continue my training and complete a further two marathons in short succession. Would hugely recommend

Fantastic experience: Tom has been fantastic in supporting me over the last few months with recovering from an ankle injury sustained from netball. He has used a range of methods during appointments and provided clear, tailored guidance with exercises to complete outside of sessions. This has helped me to regain strength and mobility within a reasonable time frame for the regional season restarting, while also ensuring a gradual return to the sport as part of a long-term, preventative approach. The progress I’ve made is a reflection of his expertise. I would highly recommend Tom and am very grateful for his support throughout the whole rehab process!

Fantastic experience: After falling and not recovering as I would have expected I was advised to consult a physiotherapist, Tom was recommended and instantly put me at ease. Identifying my injury in my wrist and forearm after fracturing my elbow meant he could test my weakness and advise on exercises to strengthen my arm which enabled me to return to work and more importantly play golf again. He advised on equipment I needed and Following his instructions diligently my arm is now stronger again . I wouldn’t hesitate to return in the future if I suffered another injury and highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks Tom

Fantastic experience: Tom has been fantastic helping my daughter recover quickly and safely from a hamstring injury. She is back playing netball with the same confidence before her injury. Would thoroughly recommend

Fantastic experience: I went to Tom with hip pain after running that was increasingly severe and was getting in the way of CrossFit and triathlon training. Tom diagnosed the problem in the first session, with a thorough assessment and explanations along the way. Tom gave a clear intervention plan with regular check-in’s and adjusted the programme as my recovery progressed. I was back running and training very soon and felt supported the whole way. Tom was friendly, professional and knowledgable, and took the time to understand how the injury was impacting my training/my life and make recommendations based on this. The rehab he programmed felt manageable and he used a range of treatment techniques in sessions. I felt in very safe hands, and had confidence in the programme, which can be an overlooked side of physio and rehab. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tom to anyone with a current niggle or injury.

Fantastic experience: Really glad to have found Tom. I was having lots of pain on the outside of my knee which stopped me from running and caused pain during boxing. Tom quickly worked out what was causing this and introduced me to the right mobility, strength and stability exercises that I could practise daily at home. 3 months later my knee pain has gone and I now know what exercises I should be doing to prevent future pain. Thanks very much!

Fantastic experience: Tom has been brilliant with by daughter. We followed a recommendation from a friend as my daughter is a competitive swimmer as was getting constant shoulder pain. We didn’t go with a specific injury but Tom explored the function in her shoulders to look at what might be causing the pain and then came up with a treatment programme to support. She is now swimming with no pain and is building strength. If you want a physio who takes the time to explore what the issue is without just taking your word for it and then treating accordingly then Tom’s the man for the job. Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: Tom is an absolute pro and is highly recommended particularly for sporty people. He quickly identified the situation with my hamstring injury (through running) and from then on has worked on it using different methods to heal and strengthen. Outside of appointments the exercises given were clear and easy to follow. Tom was at the end of a text for support outside of the appointments for queries. Throughout the rehab process I have felt extremely well looked after and listened to and on the way to getting back to where I was pre injury.

Fantastic experience: Tom has been really helpful helping me understand what may have been causing some of my initial knee issues. He explains everything really clearly which helps me understand what I need to do to further strengthen and improve the way my body works.

Fantastic experience: Delighted with the work Tom has done, expertly working through a range of issues with my shoulder that started with a trapped nerve, with great physio sessions and a series of helpful exercises for at home and at the gym. Issues all gone and the shoulder is much stronger now. Excellent!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Tom off the back of a friends recommendation and he’s worked wonders with my lower back pain. In just a few sessions he’s free’d up the tightness and I can now move again and tie up my shoelaces. Tom listened, worked some magic, set me up on a great app which has videos of the exercises he asks you to do but more importantly he was very professional.

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend Vida Physio enough, I am a 100m sprinter for England and we work on my muscle tissues and recovery. Making sure I am in the best conditions possible for my season. The knowledge that Tom provides makes it all make sense, it keeps me reassured that he is also helping me find the 1%s to make me a better athlete. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Tom highly enough. I'm a distance runner who'd struggled with a hamstring strain for nearly 9 months before finding him. His rates are affordable, especially compared to most other local practitioners, and you never feel that he's asking you to see him more than is necessary. He has completely transformed my running with personalised exercise programmes on an easy-to-use app, targeted massage, and clear advice. Yesterday, I ran with no discomfort at all for the first time in a long time - it really feels like he's given me new legs! With two races coming up, I'm now confident I can run them without incident, and can go on to build my base back up to tackle ultra distances again. On top of his great physio skills, Tom is very personable and easy to chat with. I'll definitely continue to book him in the future, and recommend him to friends. I just wish I'd found him sooner!!

Fantastic experience: After a frustrating year battling sacroiliac ligament strain and trapezius pain, I sought expert physiotherapy support. Tom Jenkins, physiotherapist for the national Olympic hockey team, has been exceptional. What sets Tom apart is his commitment to truly listening. He takes time to understand your individual circumstances and develops a genuinely bespoke treatment programme rather than applying standardised protocols. His use of technology is impressive—sophisticated apps that make rehabilitation engaging and thoroughly modern. Having a personalised digital platform that monitors progress feels both inspiring and motivating. Beyond his expertise, Tom brings wonderful warmth to his practice. He's encouraging, genuinely invested in your recovery, and creates an atmosphere that feels both professional and welcoming. I'm currently progressing through my treatment and feeling genuinely optimistic about my recovery. For anyone seeking a physiotherapist who combines exceptional skill with individualised care, I wholeheartedly recommend Tom Jenkins.

Fantastic experience: Tom has helped my daughter to recover from an ankle/foot injury sustained a year ago. She was put in a boot as thought best option for recovery, with Tom’s help we now realise this was the wrong diagnosis. As a competitive swimmer it has hindered her progress but now after a few months of treatment and regular exercise programme for home she has made fantastic progress, and hope to be back up to full training again in the next few months.

Fantastic experience: **Exceptional Physiotherapy Support After Surgery!** I can't thank Tom at Vida Physio enough for the incredible care and expertise he provided following my cervical disc replacement surgery. From the very first session, his knowledge, professionalism, and genuine concern for my recovery made all the difference. Tom took the time to explain each step of my rehabilitation, tailoring exercises to my specific needs while ensuring I progressed safely. His encouragement and hands-on approach helped restore my mobility and confidence faster than I expected. Tom’s dedication to his patients is truly outstanding. If you're looking for someone who is not only skilled but also deeply invested in your well-being, I highly recommend Tom.

Fantastic experience: I was having problems with my hip whilst running. Tim managed to identify the underlying issue and came up with an individual plan that worked for me

Fantastic experience: Quality service helped my recovery from injury and is very knowledgeable and understanding. The equipment used was something of a different level and his planning of exercises personally benefitted me.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Tom highly enough. I was out for a run when I felt pain in my left knee. I came across Vida Physio Romsey so I booked in as I was in quite a bit of pain with walking and doing stairs. I didn't think I'd be able to run again. So I saw Tom for the first time, he carried out a full diagnosis on my knee, including questions, watching my knee operate and force tests. He found that my muscle (vastus medialis) was weak so my knee cap wasn't stable, so causing pain when I ran. He gave me lots of isometric hold exercises to do via an app, but also sent me videos of exercises I needed to complete. So I had a plan now to strengthen. After 3 weeks I was able to start running again which felt amazing. I have ongoing exercises to do now to keep strengthening the muscles. I've just completed a 10km with a PB time which I never thought I get but with Tom's expertise he's got me running again and it's also helped with my golf game too.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 - thank you, Tom! Incredibly knowledgeable, patient and reassuring. Completely recommended.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Tom for 15 years, and he has been instrumental in helping me recover from every injury I’ve faced throughout my football career. His expertise, dedication, and personalized approach make him someone I trust completely. Now, as an S&C coach working with aspiring athletes, I always recommend Tom for any injury concerns—they couldn’t be in better hands. Tom is truly the best of the best!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend for anyone and especially for sports injuries. Tom is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and very experienced. Damaged ankle ligaments playing tennis and with the right diagnosis, treatment and advice from Tom was back on court competing with no issues ( at a regional/national level) in a reasonable time frame. Tom was, at all times, focused on improving strength and recovery for the long term and not just looking for a short term fix. Advice was given on exercises and treatment not just through the injury but also on how to prevent any further injuries, not just for the ankle but other surrounding areas too.

Fantastic experience: Tom has been my physio for more than 10 years and his skill and professionalism is second to none. Coming from a rugby background during my career and post career I have seen many physios and Tom is the best by some distance. He has treated me preop and post op through 4 major surgeries and I cannot sing his praises highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Tom is a fantastic Physiotherapist. His extensive experience within professional sport has given him a vast range of skills and knowledge. Being a Physiotherapist myself, I have sent various clients to Tom over the years, all of which have been incredibly impressed. I also have first hand experience of Tom’s skills having consulted him numerous times for my own sports injuries. His combination of brilliant manual therapy skills and personalised rehab plans have resolved my knee pain and allowed me to continue my sports. Whether you’re an elite athlete, or a weekend warrior like myself, I would fully recommend Tom!

Fantastic experience: Have been working with Tom for around 8 years and is without a doubt one of the best around. Working through a variety of different back, ankle, foot, adductor and shoulder issues Tom has always been able to pinpoint the problem and build a rehab plan to get me back on the pitch as quickly as possible. No doubt he’s helped prolong my career and will always be the first person I contact for any physio support.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Tom enough - he's friendly, an expert and took the time to explain the diagnosis and recovery. My knee is back to regular hiking!

Fantastic experience: Tom is a master of sorting out the niggling knees that have come along since hitting my 30s. Could not recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: As a new dad, late-night feedings became a regular part of my routine, but after a couple of months, I started experiencing sharp pain in my shoulder and upper back. It was incredibly frustrating, especially at such a hectic time. I reached out to Tom, and he immediately pinpointed the issue. His thorough assessment, treatment, and tailored exercises helped me regain movement in my arm and relieve the pain. Tom also provided a set of preventative exercises that I now do daily to keep everything in check. I'm thrilled with the results, and I can honestly say seeing him was one of the best decisions I made. I highly recommend Tom—his expertise and care made all the difference!

Fantastic experience: Tom is a very knowledgeable, experienced Physio. I travel a lot for my golf so whenever I am home, a session with Tom puts my body back to where it needs to be. This then helps me to compete at my best. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Vida Physio - highly recommend! I was struggling with pain in my lower back for months. Tom was professional & personal from the outset. He used a combination of different techniques and tools during our sessions to resolve the issue, the dry needling was my favourite part of the sessions & really seemed to ease the muscle. Once the treatment had been completed he provided me with an easy to follow rehab routine and do/don'ts going forward to minimise the risk of the injury returning. He followed up in a timely manner to ensure the injury was healing, this was a very personal touch and really appreciated the support. Thanks to Tom I’m now able to compete in CrossFit competitions, play golf & participate in an active lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: International athlete & wellness consultant. Tom is the best of the best. Exceptional knowledge and experience. Nobody else I trust more when it comes to injuries, advice and help with getting me back to full fitness.

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of having Tom from Vida as my physiotherapist for 7 years. As an international athlete, I need someone that I can trust to help manage and prevent my injuries, and I really trust Tom to do that. His advice and knowledge has helped me multiple times over the years, from little niggles to recovering from bigger injuries. Tom is always the first person I go to.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Vida Physio enough! I was struggling with golfer’s elbow for quite some time, and after just four sessions, I’m practically pain-free. Tom took a very holistic approach, using a combination of different techniques and tools during our sessions to get to the root of the problem. I appreciated the personalised care and the attention to detail in assessing and treating my injury. In addition to the in-clinic treatment, I was given clear, straightforward exercises to do at home, along with instructions to ice the area to help reduce inflammation and build up strength. These home exercises made a huge difference and really supported the progress I made during my sessions. Thanks to Tom, I’m back on the golf course and feeling stronger than ever. If you’re struggling with an injury, especially something as persistent as golfer’s elbow, don’t hesitate to book with him. Highly recommended!"

Fantastic experience: I came to tom with a back injury that had been going on for a while probably due to poor posture at office based work. When i first booked in, I was expecting to need a few sessions of physio, combined with homework exercises over a few weeks to solve the problem but after two 1 hour sessions my pain is completely gone. tom said that unless I made changes to my desk space setup the pain might come back but I haven't gotten round to it and so far it has been 8 months and nothing yet.

Fantastic experience: Being an international athlete, I can’t recommend Tom enough. He’s looked after me multiple times through the years with different injuries and I completely trust him to diagnose and help me recover. Great physio, great guy!

Fantastic experience: Tom has been instrumental in helping me to compete at an international level in hockey over the past 9 years. Without his ongoing support and top level knowledge there is no doubt I would have missed multiple tournaments due to niggling injuries. Tom has a great manner whilst treating and builds trust through his thorough yet straight forward explanation of issues. Can’t wait to go back and see Tom in his new facility!

Fantastic experience: Tom has been treating me for years for a range of issues, from my numerous sporting injuries to my lower back pain that seems to arise every now and then. He has wide range of techniques that he’s learnt from his days with elite sport and so I know I’m always getting the best possible treatment. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in and I’ve seen lots of physios and this isn’t always the case. Tom’s a great guy and I couldn’t recommend him more highly! Thanks for everything!
