Fantastic experience: Max

Fantastic experience: Took my son to see Alan today at the Ramsbottom clinic with a knee injury he got while playing football. Advice and treatment was first class as always. Top drawer physios and super helpful staff, would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Have been going to Altius Health for about a month now, fractured my neck and was in a neck brace for 3 month. Everyone who I seen at Altius have been excellent and have explained everything to me. Would definitely recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Started seeing Max for physio for issues with my right foot. I felt comfortable straight away and Max appeared knowledgeable in his area of expertise. Still early days but I will stick with the suggested treatment and exercises.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Altius, I had my first session with Alan today following my recent stroke and needed a lot of work on my left side. He was very approachable, extremely knowledgeable and understanding. Many thanks Alan. See you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Only had one session but would 100% recommend. Thoroughly worked on my arm and made sure I knew what to do when I got home.
Fantastic experience: Max at Altius was very helpful with my son’s football injury. He was very experienced in working with young footballers and the types of injuries they can sustain due to bones growing. He was also great with my son and very personable. He completed a thorough examination and gave us some exercises to do that have helped to resolve the problem. I’d definitely bring my son back to Max in the future if anything were to come up again.
Fantastic experience: Went to see Doug at Altius in Bury. Amazing guy who’s extremely knowledgeable and really helped me get sorted with my injury. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly pleasant and professional. Eleanor was encouraging and skilful in her approach. I would recommend Altius without any hesitation.
Fantastic experience: I had an initial assessment with Max today, two weeks after a partial meniscectomy. He was very thorough in his assessment and created a detailed programme for me to follow for the next week. Thank you
Fantastic experience: Money well spent Luke was very thorough and professional.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had physio lately with Altius under the care of Max Stephenson. He has been excellent-really knowledgeable about the problem I was suffering with and the treatment provided was great. Would definitely recommend for anyone needing physiotherapy.
Fantastic experience: Very impressed. My ever first encounter with a physio. I had severe back pain, could hardly walk. Alan Raw put me at ease straight away, diagnosed my issue with little fuss, and provided pain relief via manipulation. He gave me some tricky stretches to do which were very effective but explained them to me clearly. I ended up having only a handful of sessions with Alan, much less than I expected, and in the 18 months since my last appointment have not had any difficulties with my back. Reception were really helpful too. No hesitation whatsover in recommending Altius.
Thank you very much for your kind words Martin we are so pleased Alan could help you and see you in clinic again soon
Fantastic experience: Excellent. Very knowledgable and helpful
Fantastic experience: I was able to get a last minute appointment to see Alan at the Bury studio of Altius. Whilst there was only time for a 30 min consultation,I was impressed with Alan's extensive knowledge and his undoubted experience in this sector. 2 more sessions have been booked in and the approach is holistic and based on the individual needs of the patient.
Fantastic experience: It was my first time visiting the clinic and I’m absolutely blown away! After seeing different physios over the years for a recurring issue, it was so refreshing to have Max Stephenson really listen, empathise and get to the root cause. He was extremely thorough and professional throughout. I’ll definitely be recommending him to all my friends and family Thanks Max!
Fantastic experience: My session was with luke roscoe, he is proffesional, well educated in his work and very reassuring. The treatment itself was fantasic, my shoulder has needed treatment for a long time, i tried the nhs without success, ive been taking pain killers for years, enough was enough and im so happy that i found altius, ive not taken pain killers since my session and look forwards to my next one. 10/10
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Altius for a number of years, most recently with a shoulder injury after a heavy landing coming off my mountain bike. I saw Luke last week and again today - diagnosis and treatment has been spot on. Each session it's felt better. As long as I keep falling off by bike, I'll keep going to Altius!
Fantastic experience: Great as ever. Alan was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Luke Roscoe made me feel welcome, comfortable and most importantly, hopeful!! 5 stars all around! Thank you Luke.
Fantastic experience: I see Alan on a regular basis as I have had issues with my neck, back and legs in the past. Alan is highly experienced and is able to fix my problems. I strongly recommend Alan to you if you need a physio. He is the best out there IMO.
Fantastic experience: Luke Roscoe has improved my life ten fold in just one session! After 6 months of back had hip pain, going for MRIs, visiting and osteopath, consulting surgeons and trying a hip steroid... I'd lost hope that I'd ever get back to normal. Luke did a thorough assessment of my history, ran some diagnostic assessments on my hip strength and explained what hed found, and then began working on my sciatic and hip area. The past week I've had a new lease of life. Looking forward to weekly sessions and constantly improving and getting my active lifestyle back.
Fantastic experience: Altius Bury is a great clinic - Fran is friendly and welcoming, and Alan Raw is simply (imo) the best physio I've ever had. Overall, the team here are amazing!! Thank you guys.
Hi Raza, thanks very much for taking the time to write this review. We are absolutely delighted that you love Altius Bury and couldn’t be happier that you have had such a great experience with us. Thanks again
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend this practice! Easy to book very friendly and highly professional receptionist-thanks Sue! Superb sports massage from Eleanor who was excellent. Clearly highly trained and able to skilfully restore my tight muscles following a sports related injury. Delighted and will definitely be using again
Fantastic experience: I was dubious taking a 9 yr old for physio. Luke has been amazing with him. My son has Ben struggling with a hamstring injury for several months. Cole has seen luke twice who has been very good at interacting with him. He's given us some exercises to do at home and we can see improvement already. I'm extremely grateful for luke being kind and patient aswell as talking to my son on his level and making sure he understands what he is doing and why.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Altius Physio, Sam was fantastic, he helped me get back in shape after a shoulder injury. Can’t be thankful enough.
Fantastic experience: Great friendly team who make their patients feel valued. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: From the way Fran made booking the appointment very easy, and the amazing welcome she gave on my arrival, to the fantastic treatment delivered by Sam, the whole experience at Altius has been worthy of five stars. My issue was diagnosed quickly and then treated appropriately over the course of five visits. I'm referring my wife to them, which speaks volumes! I have absolutely no reservations in recommending Altius! 5*
Fantastic experience: Absolutely recommend! I saw Ashley at the bury clinic for sciatica and lower back pain. It was the best money I spent ! Couldn’t recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: I was recommended by a friend to visit Altius Healthcare and see Doug to help aid my recovery from two bulging discs and leg pain. I had originally been seeing another physio for 6-8 weeks and felt I just wasn't progressing. Since seeing Doug, I have seen a huge improvement and I feel like I am progressing each week which I feel is key during a recover phase. Doug is clearly very knowledgeable, and he was able to use his experience to find the root cause of my issues and then act upon accordingly. I am looking forward to continuing my recovery journey with Doug and the team at Altius Healthcare. All of the staff are really friendly, and I would recommend this practice to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Having seen two orthopaedic surgeons and got conflicting information for a very painful knee a brace was recommended. It needed fitting and Altus was recommended. I am so glad I found them. The level of professionalism plus kindness is quite special. More than anything I Needed to understand what my problem was. So, after X-ray and ultrasound scan, they suggested treatments and ,today, after two years, I have a clear picture of my problem. It is now manageable without an operation or a brace and I am very grateful.
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Altius bury enough. After having a couple of non fault car crashes, struggling with neck and shoulder injury, I seen numerous physios in the north, but these guys have helped me more in a couple of sessions than the other places I’ve used through the insurance all together. Both Alan and Doug are highly experienced and I’m looking forward to becoming more active again due to their treatments. The receptionist Fran is welcoming and offer great customer service.
Fantastic experience: I had a car crash in December 2021 & I have been having physiotherapy for a few months to treat soft tissue injury on my back & shoulder. Ashley is my therapist & he is extremely thorough & directional in his method of therapy ensuring he concentrates on the particular areas of I am troubled with. Also very knowledgeable about the anatomy of the human body. I was given exercises to do at home in-between sessions. The staff are very professional & there are good levels of communication to remind you of appointment times. I would recommend Altius to anyone. Hilary Jackson
Fantastic experience: Colin Wrigby works wonders! Thanks
Fantastic experience: Been treated at Altus for a few months now for a stubborn planter fasciitis problem and received shockwave therapy, which isn’t really used in may Physio practices. Couldn’t wish for better service from receptionist through to physio. I was treated by Ashley, who outlined all the stages of my treatment, he was really knowledgeable and very easy to talk to. Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: I would recommend Altius Healthcare to everyone. I ruptured my ankle in November whilst playing football, and from the first day I rang up I was looked after. My physio Sam Hatton helped arrange an MRI and talked me through the results in a way that I could understand. I immediately felt reassured. After a few months of excellent treatment, I started running again this week without any need for surgery. I went to the clinic every fortnight for expert treatment, and followed Sam’s instructions on exercises to continue to do at home. Every time I walked out of the clinic I felt better and better. I honestly cannot thank Altius and Sam enough.
Fantastic experience: Been struggling with cervicogenic headaches for nearly a year. Despite their best efforts, the NHS treatment was not making any difference. Found out by chance that this practice is a specialist in my condition. I have been seeing Sam who after 3 sessions has produced some great results.
Fantastic experience: Having picked up a foot injury I had a podiatry consultation with Stu Campbell; he was able to identify the cause and give me a recovery plan. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Just three visits and wow, what a difference! Thank you Doug!!!
Fantastic experience: Doug was recommended to me by another physio and was super impressed. My son is a footballer and the club physio has said she thought that the issue he was experiencing was Chronic Compression Syndrome which he was very anxious about. Doug very quickly determined that the issue was actually linked to his back and after a thorough examination, gave him lots of stretches and exercises to do to alleviate what is going on. Happy to recommend Doug and the practice

Hi Sur thanks so much for taking the time to do your review and we are so glad you are happy with our service. See you in clinic again soon.
Fantastic experience: Had some physio with the main man Doug and he really helped me understand my knee problem and the best way to improve this. It makes a lovely change from my NHS physios and im looking forward to the next meeting so i can check the progress and build on the work ive done. I feel like im in excellent hands and it gives me confidence that i can be pain free in the future.
Hi Frank thanks so much for taking the time to do your review and we are so glad you are happy with our service. See you in clinic again soon.
Fantastic experience: Today I went for my 3 appointment with Sam he is very experienced and professional. He massaged my back and then cracked it as he is a qualified chiropractor, now my back feels amazing and would highly recommend him as he is improving my overall health aswell as my injury! Great service!!!!
Thanks very much for taking the time to write a review and your kind words about our clinic in Bury and Sam our physio. We are so pleased you had such a great service and we hope to see you in clinic again soon.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been suffering with thumb joint pain for a number of years and Alan was recommended to me by my brother. Alan examined my hands and went through my history . He performed acupuncture on both thumbs which I immediately notice an improvement . Alan also referred me to a hand surgeon who saw me the very next day ! A week after that visit I had steroid infections in both thumbs ! However my problem is so severe ( stage 4 arthritis ) I will need surgery . I can’t thank Alan enough for his quick assessment and referral .
Hi Vikki, thanks so much for visiting our clinic in Bury. We are so glad you were happy with Alan’s treatment and glad you got such a quick onward referral. We look forward to seeing you back in Altius Bury after your surgery. Thanks again, from team Altius
Fantastic experience: Cant recommend Altius enough! I've been seeing with Doug and Colin for knee arthritis and associated issues. Doug has been amazing throughout in diagnosing, explaining and supporting me to find the correct treatment and surgery (in my case). Im now working with Doug and Colin to rehab after my surgery. As well as offering knowledge, expertise and treatment, both Doug and Colin have been a great support on understanding the impact of injury on mental health and emotions.They just 'get it'!This has made a big difference for me and helped a lot. ALtius was recommended to me by both BUPA and a private surgeons as offering first class and upto date rehab physio. So glad I found them! Thanks guys!
Thanks very much for taking the time to write a review and your kind words about our clinic in Bury and our fantastic staff Doug & Colin. We are delighted you had such a great service and we look forward to seeing you back in clinic soon. Thanks Clare.
Fantastic experience: Had an ACL & Meniscus reconstruction in November 2020, which has been followed up by Altius & Physio, Sam. Currently 20-25% through recovery but he has been fantastic so far, and further ahead than I thought I would be/should be. Very knowledgeable, and most importantly feel like you're getting something out of each session. Further to this, Francine is warm & welcoming even in these times (masks, social distance & ppe etc). Happy to recommend this clinic & Sam in particular.
Thanks very much for taking the time to write a review and your kind words about our clinic in Bury and our staff Sam & Francine. We are delighted you had such a great service and we look forward to seeing you back in clinic soon.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been struggling with my ankle for 3 months and had previously seen a different physio without much progress. Altius is close to me and easy to park so thought I’d give it a try. So happy I did...Sam Hatton was very professional and the results were incredible. Immediate improvement after my first session. Would highly recommend.
Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. It is fantastic you have had such great results with only one session. We can’t wait to see you get back to being pain free and fully fit! See you in clinic soon....
Fantastic experience: Altius Healthcare and Doug Jones had been recommended to me after I had torn my patellar tendon. I had initially spent 6 weeks with a generalist physio in Manchester, but due to a lack of progress with my rehab I felt I needed to see a knee / sports specialist. Doug made an immediate difference with both the treatment he provided, and with the detailed and progressive training programme I received. Each session has included shockwave therapy, muscle massage, graston therapy and acupuncture, and the training programme is constantly monitored and adjusted to ensure the right amount of training is applied at the right times. Its clear that Doug and his team have a genuine interest and passion in the treatment and service they provide, I would highly recommend them for any physio related requirement.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant service, really pleased!
Thanks very much for taking the time to write a review and your kind words about our clinic. We are delighted you had such a great service and we look forward to seeing you back in clinic soon.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding Virtual Physio Service. Highly recommend. The virtual sessions are absolutely brilliant with Doug and I can’t recommend virtual physio highly enough. Doug is excellent, very professional, highly knowledgeable and a fantastic support in my recovery from a nasty ankle/leg trauma. The virtual physio concentrates on strength, function, movement and my general well being. I’ve been 8mths since my injury, 4 ops and I’m definitely benefiting and improving after each session. it’s such a great way to continue my physio whilst in lockdown.
Thanks very much for taking the time to write a review and your kind words about our virtual clinic clinic services. We are delighted you had such a great service and we look forward to seeing you back in clinic soon.
Fantastic experience: Close to the motorway so great for commuting back to work in bury. The guys are very knowledgeable and I can already see improvement after 2 visits. Highly reccomend visitng them.
