Fantastic experience: I damaged my Achilles tendon. I didn't want steroid injections or surgery, which a GP suggested, so I turned to Mo. I'd had treatment from him before for other injuries, so I already knew that he is a miracle worker. He is a very good listener and diagnostician, and he took plenty of time to find out how I sustained the injury and what impact this was having. He then started treatment, over three sessions. At the end of these he showed me some exercises to do on my own and was clear with me that this sort injury takes a long time to heal. I stuck with the exercises as recommended and, after several months I am free from pain and can walk with ease again. I really appreciated Mo checking in with me on my progress. I recommend him to anyone. He's not only a wonderful physiotherapist but also a really nice bloke.
Fantastic experience: Came to see MJ for some lower back, piriformis issues. He was extremely knowledgable in helping me identify the source of the issue, and was able to help with different methods including manual therapy and physio exercises, in addition to lifestyle advice that made a huge difference in alleviating my symptoms. Would recommend without hesitation.
Fantastic experience: It was an absolute blessing to have Mohammed as a physiotherapist! Experiencing pain in my hands and having mixed responses from both doctors and other physiotherapists, Mohammed really took his time to understand the extent of my pain to identify the right exercises for me. It was incredibly validating to be listened to so thoroughly by him, and to be put on the path of recovery personalised to me. Every session was engaging and productive, and he is an absolutely wonderful person to have conversation with - I always looked forward to my next scheduled session. Thank you for everything that you do! I highly recommend this practice!
Fantastic experience: Mohammed me ayudó a recuperarme de un problema en la rodilla. Hicimos un seguimiento adecuado con la recuperación en el gym. Él es muy profesional y siempre estuvo atento al progreso de mi lesión y, en cada sesión, fuimos intensificando la recuperación, armando un plan personalizado para llegar a la recuperación. Lo recomiendo definitivamente.
Thank you Tomas
Fantastic experience: Good physio - has helped me with a back issue over the past few months to the point I've been able to get back into exercise.
Fantastic experience: I had an uncommon tendon injury (peroneal tendonitis) that turned chronic to the point of seeking help. I didnt know which tendon was injured before visiting. MJ helped me identify the issue on the first visit and I responded positively to the shockwave therapy. I was given plenty of advice on strength training with the goal of future prevention. He is also flexible when it comes to booking appointments as I needed to make a short notice change. Friendly, easy to talk to and happy to give out a lot of advice.
Thank you Steffan
Fantastic experience: Mo was super friendly and informative, and quickly identified ways to help me with my intercostal injury within our first session. With his help, he gradually introduced me back into the gym and helped me move on from the setback. Will definitely be recommending to friends for any sports injury
Thank you Thomas
Fantastic experience: Having made no progress with my heel pain for 6 weeks I decided to try physiotherapy. I’ve now had two appointments and Mo has been outstanding - both in providing the treatment as well as trying to find the cause of the pain. The recommended exercise has helped a lot too - it’s only been a couple of weeks and I am already taking more pain free steps than before!
Fantastic experience: I have slipped down the stairs at home and injured my knee some time ago. I've decided to visit Mohammed for advice and I'm super glad that I did. He's very knowledgeable, was able to calm me down and suggested some exercises to help with the knee. I would recommend him to everyone seeking help about all stuff physio. Thank you. Edit, September 2025 Yet another great experience! This time it was bad shoulder and MJ reassured me, explained everything and provided online links to stretches I should be doing. Many thanks, can't recommend enough.
Fantastic experience: I began seeing Mo in Febraury 2025 following a rather debilitating back issue. From the first consultation, he was hands-on following an assessment of the issue. After the first session, I slept for 9 hours straight through, the first time I had slept more than a couple of hours consecutively in months. Fast forward a few months and my lower back pain has totally disappeared. Mo curated a very fluid plan that would involve massage, stretches, exercise and general health and wellbeing in day-to-day life. It all worked. Perhaps the second most important aspect of a physio beyond them resolving the issue is how comfortable it is to chat with them. I found Mo to be incredibly personable, reassuring and comfortable to be around so no session felt uncomfortable or awkward. I cannot recommend MJ Physiotherapy enough to anyone looking for an effective and friendly physiotherapist.
Thank you Michael really appreciate your kind comments and I’m happy that you came for some help and I was able to help you a little and give you the education around how best to deal with your back pain. All the best for the future, it was nice to meet you and you take care of yourself.
Fantastic experience: Mohammed is a very knowledgable and supportive physio who has helped me to recover from two injuries: a dislocated shoulder and severe ankle ligament damage. I have been impressed by his enthusiasm and his ability to adapt his approach to fit around me and my lifestyle. He gave me physio using a range of techniques and put together a tailor-made exercise programme, which allowed me to progress greatly between sessions. A really positive experience.
Thank you Jonathan, you have done amazing so far. Keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Mo is a warm and personable physio who goes out of his way to help you on your way to recovery. Cheers!
Thank you Stephen.
Fantastic experience: I saw Mo recently for a couple of issues. I had very bad wrist pain and had been suffering with lower back pain while running for a while. He was great, sorted my wrist out in no time and had a few more sessions to get my back loosened up but you can really see the improvements already. Highly recommend.
Thank you Tom! I’m glad I could help and get you back on track.
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with MJ after six months of dealing with a dislocated ankle, and I can confidently say that he has made an incredible difference in my recovery. After the first session, MJ displayed a deep understanding of my condition and tailored a rehabilitation plan that addressed my specific needs and goals. He combined professional expertise with a genuinely supportive and encouraging approach,& is helping me to regain strength, mobility, and confidence in ways I hadn’t thought possible. The 1st session was not only effective but also motivating, leaving me feeling more hopeful and focused on my progress. Thanks to MJ, I’m well on my way to reclaiming my full range of motion and strength. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled physiotherapist who truly cares about their patients’ recovery journey.
Thank you and I am really happy I could help with your recovery and I look forward to working with you throughout your recovery.
Fantastic experience: Mo's been brilliant every time I've gone to see him! Great physio, couldn't recommend more!
Thank you Dom, appreciate it.
Fantastic experience: Mo, is excellent at what he does. Gives a personal and professional experience. Can not recommend enough for someone looking for a physio
Thank you Phil, I’m glad I could help.
Fantastic experience: I saw Mo after one of my knees got hurt, and he explained how legs and knees work in theory for the human body after helping me understand why my knees felt painful. After doing leg exercises under the instructions he sent me, my knees feel much better, and I don't get the pain anymore that I used to get and be worried about. And he followed up with me quite often to make sure I was on the right track. I would highly recommend his expertise to other people who are in need. And he offers a nice service that regularly checks on you to see if you are doing okay. I look forward to the next follow-up session!
Thank you and I am glad to hear I could help.
Fantastic experience: Hard not to be impressed by this physio. Mo really got to the heart of what was causing my hamstring injuries, and set me on the path to recovery when I had all but given up hope of being able to run again. Massively recommended.
Thank you Will
Fantastic experience: Very friendly guy, broke everything down into an easily digestible explanation for me. Was very happy to help.
Thank you George
See you soon.
Fantastic experience: I saw Mo after suffering a meniscus tear in my knee playing football. Mo was my physio pre and post meniscus repair surgery. He has an excellent knowledge of physiotherapy, explaining in detail everything that we worked on. He made me feel confident with all exercises - really going the extra mile to ensure I was comfortable with my rehab in a friendly and professional manner. He helped to reduce pain significantly with exercise, massages, and scar tissue scraping, and really built up my confidence after being apprehensive with my knee post-surgery. Every session I had with Mo I walked out feeling a lot better about my knee both physically and mentally, and his support and knowledge has been invaluable in my full recovery. He's a great guy, kind and supportive, and I highly recommend him as a physio.
Fantastic experience: Got in contact with Mohammed after experiencing shoulder and neck pain brought on by starting an office job, Mohammed was considerate and attentive from the first message and concisely identified some solutions for me during our appointment. Would highly recommend. Ben
Fantastic experience: Went here with a knee issue and had a fantastic experience. Mo was friendly and informative and offered the right level of support throughout my treatment. Would definitely go back if I ever need anymore physiotherapy.
Thank you Conah, I’m here to help anytime.
Fantastic experience: I met Mo two years ago and since then he's helped me through two very painful herniated disk flare ups. He's very kind and knowledgeable, and I always enjoyed our chats during treatments. Highly recommend his services.
Thank you Tatiana appreciate the nice words, and I’m happy I could help you a little and guide you through your very painful back episodes.
Fantastic experience: Picked up a very painful groin strain back in May - and started seeing Mo in late June. Mo did a great job of setting out clear guidance on exercises and plans to speed up my recovery. He also did a great job of setting expectations for recovery times while balancing my keenness to get back on the field asap. Thanks for the help!!
We finally got on top of it Greg, it was a pleasure working with you, still early days as the season has just started so remember the advice to ease into it.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant service. Took the time to diagnose the issues I was having, treated what needed to be treated and gave good advice to keep me running whilst recovering from injury. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
Thank you Emma! It was a pleasure working with you through your recovery, you did every thing asked of you and I’m really happy that I helped a little to guide you through.
Fantastic experience: Mo Has treated myself and my husband after a crash. He's professional and flexible. He's very knowledgeable and experienced. Very friendly and puts you at ease.
Thank you Sarah, it was a pleasure treating you and Craig and guiding helping you both with recovery. All the best!
Fantastic experience: MJ is a real proofed professional.. me and my partner tried his treatment and our pain just gone … is therapy is straight and effective !!
Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to work with you both and guiding you through recovery.
Fantastic experience: Out of all the physiotherapists I have seen, Mo is by far the best. He is incredibly knowledgable and takes a lot of time to read around specific and broad issues of his field; every time I’ve asked him a question he has responded in detail. He really cares and goes the extra mile, tailoring treatments to account for various stresses and specific health conditions. I have found myself feeling significantly mentally and physically better after our sessions and would strongly recommend him.
Fantastic experience: Went to Mohammed with a shoulder injury. He first really listened and then quickly identified exactly what was causing the issue and how to resolve it. From the very first session I could see progress and reduction of pain. And after just a few sessions, exercises that I couldn’t do for months are now pain free. He definitely knows his stuff and goes the extra mile to help. True professional. Highly recommend!
Thank you Matt!! Appreciate the comment and very happy to help you get back to your activities.
Fantastic experience: I do both rugby and MMA, so injuries aren’t uncommon for me, but every time I have one Mo is always the first person I call. He is just extremely helpful, thorough, and accurate in diagnosing, fixing and rehabilitating injuries, including two recent injuries in my lower back and my right knee. On top of all of this he’s just a genuinely kind and welcoming person!
Thank you Gethin, keep going fella!
Fantastic experience: Mo is a GREAT PHYSIO! Been with him for years, and he’s helped me recover from numerous (rugby) injuries; from my ankle to my wrist to my back and my neck. Whilst also seeing him often for a regular massage. I would highly recommend Mo to anyone looking for to do rehab/ general check ups or any ongoing injuries. Mo’s also a really nice guy and makes you feel very comfortable at all times. I Would highly recommend Mo to anyone looking for a physiotherapist.
Thank you Iwan. Always a pleasure to help you recover. Keep going fella!
Fantastic experience: Amazing physcio therapy, not only has this man helped me physically with rehabilitation but also mentally with being able to believe I can fully recover, I went in there believing that I couldn’t walk but he gave me the confidence to get up and try. he’s always been there to answer any of my questions relating to my injury, And without this man I generally would know where I would be now
Thank you Alan! It has been great treating you and providing you with the little help that you needed.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and efficient, I was happy with the way my injury was looked after and advice on how to proceed in the future, I would highly recommend.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Found this physio to be a true professional. I had a massive lower back, but after even one session it was so much better. Mo had a full understanding of situations and has such a friendly manner. Fully recommended. Thanks so much
Thank you Steve.
Fantastic experience: Went to see Mohammed for an ongoing issue to my obliques. Mohammed is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, friendly and quickly helped get me a full diagnosis and treatment. He spent time and patience listening to me, identifying the source of my pain and trigger scenarios, enabling me to get back to exercising in ways that supported recovery. Mohammed is thorough and dedicated to resolving any issues you have. I highly recommend Mohammed for any physiotherapy needs as well as overall body tissue and muscular maintenance.
Thank you Mark. Hope your getting on well. Catch up with you soon.
Fantastic experience: Went to see Mohammed for a persistent problem with my left knee. He identified the issue quickly, provided me with some immediate treatment (massage and scraping of scar tissue), as well as providing rehab exercises to strengthen my injured hamstring muscle. Went to see again 1 month after and progressed really well he definitely knows his stuff. Nice guy too.
Thank You Steffan it was a pleasure. Keep going with your rehabilitation exercises
Fantastic experience: I don’t have a bad word to say about my experience with Mohammed! He was thorough, patient, very accommodating and explained everything to me so I had a better understanding of my injury. Would recommend to a friend and would definitely go back!
Thank you Serena!
Fantastic experience: Mo is super knowledgeable with back pain and sport injuries. He contributed greatly to my recovery after my shoulder operation. His acupuncture treatment also greatly helps my chronic back pain and repeated injuries. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much, I am so grateful.
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to Mohammed by a friend of mine who's a physical trainer. Mo immediately identified my problems and as well as treating them with sports massages and shockwave thereapy he also gave me some really useful exercises to do at home to help fix the issues and prevent them from re occurring. The improvement in my shin splints was very rapidly felt and my other, longer-term issue, is progressing very well. Recommended.
Thank you Andrew. It is nice to see you progressing well.
Fantastic experience: Mo has been fantastic in providing a great service, dealing with multiple issues, providing immediate relief through sports massage and treatment and subsequent plans to strengthen for prevention of injury and recurrence of issues. Mo's treatments are thorough and extremely dedicated to resolving any issues you may immediately have. The value for the service you receive is incredible, I highly recommend you visit Mo if you are in need of any physiotherapy or sports massage for pain relief or general maintenance
Fantastic experience: Mohammed is a very knowledgeable and a friendly guy. Gives great exercises to do at home to help with whatever areas are troublesome for you. Sessions themselves relieve a lot of muscle tension, stress and enjoyable to boot thanks to his friendly nature. Highly recommended and good value for money.
Fantastic experience: If you need a physiotherapist, look no further.Mo works above and beyond his way to help resolve any issues.I have had a lot of back and neck muscle stiffness.After one session I feel great.He knows his stuff and has very reasonable rates.Very satisfied and will definitely return in future.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service and very good price, totally recommended.
Fantastic experience: I was pointed in Mo's direction through a family member. I've visited many specialists prior to Mo and never been fully satisfied with any of the services or outcomes. This is the first physiotherapy I have received in Cardiff (for back treatment) and I don't intend to visit anywhere else. Mo is a very professional yet lovely physiotherapist who speaks highly of his little family. I have visited Mo a handful of times now and intend to seek no further for occasional treatment throughout the year.
Fantastic experience: The thing that I really liked about Mohammed was that he gave me a set of simple exercises that focussed on the injury I had gone to see him about. Both times, they resolved the issue without the need for multiple sessions. A friendly demeanour and very good value for money.
Fantastic experience: Really cannot be happier with Mo from MJ Physio! I had a neck injury a few years which persistently causes me issues and when it flared up recently I went to MJ Physio. Mo was amazing: didn't rush me, really took the time to understand my issue, tried lots of different techniques (cupping, acupuncture) to ease the pain in my neck and back, very knowledgeable and gave me lots of advice, and to top it off he's a lovely guy. I have seen a huge improvement. If you're looking for a trusted physio in Cardiff I would highly highly recommend MJ Physio.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brillaint service from start to finish. Mo was friendly and attentive from the moment he booked the appointment. He listened to my complaints and was swift in planning a plan for the future. I was able to understand the plan for treatment in both the long and short term and what to expect as Mo explained it very thoroughly. Aside from that, the result speaks for itself, things are improving for me massively!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant work on my achilles injury. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Went to MJ Physiotherapy today and can’t recommend Mohammed enough. From booking the appointment he was great at communicating by text and was happy to accommodate outside of the working day. Had some pain in my hip and knee and he gave me a lot of information, recommended exercises and treatment to help with the problem and aid recovery. Definitely looking to continue sessions.
Fantastic experience: I have a hypermobility disorder, which causes pain in my joints and muscles, and fatigue. Mo has helped me identify what areas I need to work on to improve my overall strength. He is very encouraging and has helped me rebuild my confidence up by working with me to re-educate my body after a long period of deconditioning. It has allowed me to manage my pain better and this has improved my quality of life. Mo has shown me that with the appropriate exercises that focus on stabilising the muscles and the joints, I can help prevent further pain and injury. He is empathetic to my situation and works patiently with me when I have setbacks. Mo is the second physiotherapist I have seen and I am very happy with the work and progress I have accomplished so far with his help. I will continue to work with Mo as he has been very supportive overall.
Fantastic experience: Mohammed has been unequivocal with his treatment for nerve damage and has clearly outlined the problem and potential issues whilst providing comprehensive recovery exercises.
Fantastic experience: Excellent treatment on my poor knee today.
Fantastic experience: Came to these guys with intense neck pain and Mohammed did a great job helping relieving the pain. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: My first time ever at physio and what an absolutely brilliant service. Friendly, attentive and always looking to listen to their customer. Not only was the problem being addressed but also additional factors that could lead to the build up of my sporting injury in the future. I was provided a full and comprehensive understanding of the issue. I can't wait to see the results already feeling the impact after just one session.
Fantastic experience: Mohammed has been very helpful in getting me back in shape after my foot injury. He explains clearly what is happening with my foot and how to strengthen it in a way that makes sense to me. He has helped me to get back to running!
