Elkstone Grove Physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: Dear Kate Thank you for your email. I have been away so apologies for not replying sooner. I was very grateful for all the advice you gave and am trying to do the exercises each day. I was very impressed with the set up at your clinic and the empathy you showed towards me. Unfortunately due to my age and lack of mobility your clinic is too far for me to travel. I wish you luck in your enterprise. Best wishes Marjorie Pascoe

Fantastic experience: Denise has enabled me to run a half marathon after helping me with my injuries

Fantastic experience: Kate is a brilliant physio, really listens, is thorough and supportive, and clearly knows her stuff. I always feel listened to and in very capable hands. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Kate for a few sessions of visceral release - she has an extraordinary ability. So sensitive to touch, she can feel what’s going on at a very deep level and then work her magic. The treatment is gentle and very effective and comes highly rated!

Fantastic experience: Kate is brilliant. She has helped with me with visceral physio so much, to do with my digestion. And it has been fascinating to learn about how tension in my organs can also affect my back and my range of movement. High High recommendation to anyone needing physio and visceral work too

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience with Kate. I came to her with a chronic lower back pain that I have seen many other professionals for that they were unable to help with despite multiple treatments. The initial consultation was very thorough, and there was lots of time to discuss and share my concerns and previous history. Kate made me feel comfortable and well listened to. The treatment was excellent, with explanations provided throughout were thorough and helped me to understand and put me at ease. I’m now several weeks post appointment and I’m still pain free which I simply cannot believe after many years with pain. I would highly reccomend Kate to anyone and actively have done already within my personal circle. The clinic space is also well presented and clean, and is well situated in Bishops Cleeve with good accessibility and free parking.

Fantastic experience: I saw Kate after experiencing neck pain which I’ve had intermittently for a few years. I was fearful of what the pain could be, and afraid to do anything for fear of making the pain worse. The first session I had with Kate, she listened carefully and explained things thoroughly and extremely well. She also asked questions which got to the core of the problem. Within that first session, she completely took the fear away. I have been doing the exercises and with her help and guidance I have my life back! No more pain and my symptoms have gone. Kate is extremely experienced, very empathic and also pragmatic. She takes a holistic approach as well. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is experiencing pain. She has taken me from despair to fully functioning mum! Thanks Kate

Fantastic experience: Kate is an absolutely excellent physio. I contacted her for help with "cording" after breast cancer surgery. She was immediately familiar with the condition and knew exactly how to help. She's a calm and reassuring presence and extremely competent, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Had a session with Kate to sort out a back issue. Punctual, knowledgeable and professional. Was given an exercise regime following an examination which sorted out the problem in a week or so. Recommended.

Fantastic experience: Kate helped me to resolve my gut issue. I had a pain and issues with my digestion and she found the problem and helped me to heal it. I'm very grateful!

Fantastic experience: Very professional

Fantastic experience: Very impressed with the setup within The Health Hub. Kate is very knowledgeable and has helped with setting up an exercise plan and looking into options for alleviating the pain and general discomfort I've been experiencing. Early days but I'm sure I'll benefit from her help. I was recommended by a relative and likewise I'm happy to recommend.

Fantastic experience: I attended Elkstone Grove Physiotherapy following my GP advise on a muscle condition that was identified. I was treated by Kate Middleton and can say that i was professionally looked after from the first visit to the last. Kate explained what she needed to do to improve my condition and showed me exercises that needed to be carried out regularly to get things on the road to recovery. I recommend Kate to anybody who requires Physio a very professional and knowledgable person. Thank you Kate. Graham Mudway

Fantastic experience: Kate was amazing when I went to see her with a shoulder complaint. She explained that she uses a whole body holistic approach and she asked me lots of questions about my lifestyle, injuries etc to work out the root cause of the problem. She focussed on treating the cause not the symptoms. She fixed my shoulder instantly. She was kind, understanding and empathetic with no pressure to have to return for follow up appointments as long as everything was ok, which it has been since my first treatment. 100% recommend Kate to anyone looking to discover the root cause of their issues.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and efficient

Fantastic experience: Very nice facility and Kate very knowledgeable and professional.

Fantastic experience: Kate is very knowledgeable, skilled and reassuring. I always leave a physio session feeling better and positive about recovery.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Kate highly enough. I've been dealing with chronic issues around my gut health for over 10 years and after just four sessions of visceral release I've experienced a huge improvement. This is exactly what I've needed all these years. I'm so grateful for the significant improvement to my health and wellbeing that Kate has brought me.

Fantastic experience: Incredibly knowledgeable and professional with her advice and help. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Having struggled to find any meaningful help through the usual channels and not wanting to sit in the corner and take tranquillisers this professional young lady has given me a new lease of life with her neck treatmentk After each session I feel so much better Thank you Kate

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience. Very friendly and professional service, with clear explanations and guidance. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I found Kate to be very knowledgeable and her approach to be very thorough, and would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who has issues that may benefit from physiotherapy treatment.

Fantastic experience: Kate, is a great professional. She doesn’t just treat a condition she considers the person as a whole ,their medical history etc. I would highly recommend her services.

Fantastic experience: I honestly cannot recommend Kate more highly. I went to see her with excruciating back pain and I can hand on heart say that following her treatments, I am now completely pain free again. Kate is always smiling, always professional and she is unbelievably knowledgeable. Her approach is wonderfully holistic, from hands on treatment to acupuncture, visceral release, Pilates, exercise rehab and beyond. I am so hugely grateful to Kate for everything that she has done to help me.

Fantastic experience: Kate has continued to provide me with individualised, supportive care and has consistently aimed to find the most effective approach to help. Following a steroid injection around the biceps tendon sheath I will be continuing my rehab with her. The location of her clinic is convenient and accessible, and Kate offers a warm and welcoming environment to anyone needing physiotherapy. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Kate has been thorough, direct & empowering since I had a shoulder steroid injection. I appreciate her efficiency & willingness to look at things from a global perspective as well. Her rooms are sparkling clean, easy parking outside & I always know I will walk away with a clear sense of what I need to do (or avoid) so thank you for your professionalism. Highly recommended!

Positive experience: Kate has helped my wife Anne with her balance issues as well as problematic knees and shoulder. During each session Kate listens and explains the mechanics of the problem then supplies appropriate exercises which develop as things improve. She is always understanding, caring and gives confidence on the road to recovery.

Fantastic experience: Have been a client of Kate's for over 10yrs and wouldn't go anywhere else. She's treated & helped me to manage a range of issues - chronic lower back pain, trapped nerve in my neck, and inner ear problems/vertigo - but takes the holistic approach each time, considering your whole body, current & previous illnesses etc. She's highly trained in many techniques beyond those of a standard physio, including Vestibular Rehabilitation, acupuncture, Pilates-based exercise (she's a trained instructor) and visceral release therapy, which is a real eye-opener! Incredibly professional, approachable, warm, friendly & supportive. Couldn't recommend Kate highly enough

Fantastic experience: Kate's knowledge and experience have made my progress from chronic pain to recovery possible. Friendly, encouraging, and informative, Kate is wonderful to work with.

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Kate with two separate issues and both times she has been great with a holistic approach and relaxing manner. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had a shoulder injury from powerlifting that was persistent. After a scan an reassurance that it was something that could be fixed with physio I was referred to Kate. My experience was Kate was caring, attentive and genuinely interested in the mechanics of the problem. The exercises set were well explained and simple to understand. It must be said that most of the work with physio is done outside of the sessions to achieve a good result!

Fantastic experience: Following a shoulder injury Kate developed a home based physio programme that she adapted over time as the healing process progressed. Kate is easy to talk to and highly professional.

Fantastic experience: I had a recurrence of a calf injury, due to five-aside, from a few years back, and needing a new physio, I found Kate. She was quick to diagnose the issue, treat the area and provide a plan to strengthen the weak muscle. I've since not had any further issues and the exercises have actually improved my game! I'd highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Kate offers excellent professional advice and care, with support for all the exercises she prescribes for recovery. Michael

Fantastic experience: Kate is amazing - highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: After suffering very painful back ache I contacted Kate then visited her, after trying painkillers which were no help. First session consisted of Kate going through all possibilities of what could be the cause and then doing some physiotherapy on my back and then some exercises for me to do. I booked in for two more sessions and although not 100% cured I could at least walk properly. Thanks Kate

Fantastic experience: Kate has helped me hugely before , during and after my shoulder surgery . She is patient, kind and very knowledgeable . With a lot of hard work and disciplining my self to do my exercises daily , I am now back on court . I I would recommend Kate highly

Fantastic experience: Kate treated me for a frozen shoulder following an injury. She was professional, thorough, kind and explained clearly what the issues and therapy options were. The appointments always allowed plenty of time to treat me and set exercises and training to do for next time. My shoulder is completely better.

Fantastic experience: Kate has weaved her magic. Again. This time she swiftly diagnosed me, gave me an idea of rehab time, strength tested me regularly so we could monitor improvement, and I’m now back to fitness. Kate is professional, no nonsense, good company and will always be my go-to physio.

Fantastic experience: Kate helped me with some neck and shoulder pains, absolute magic worker! The new clinic is beautiful too.

Fantastic experience: Having recently moved to Cheltenham, I was so pleased to find Kate's pilates class. It helps my core strength and general mobility and the upper body strengthening exercises have improved my shoulder which I broke 2 years ago.

Fantastic experience: Kate’s so welcoming and makes you feel comfortable. She listens attentively and explains what she believes to be at the route of your issue and how she’s going to treat it. With me she also shared illustrations to help with her explanation. I felt I was in a great pair of hands. Her appointments are easy to book or change online, there’s easy parking at her new clinic and the treatment room is lovely and bright and well furnished.

Fantastic experience: Fantastically looked after by the confidence inspiring physio Kate. Post shoulder surgery she was exactly what was required!! Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad that I have found Kate. She has helped me with a long term pain issue and and I am really enjoying her pilates class which is a new experience for me . A five star treasure.

Fantastic experience: I had some physio with Kate via a private medical insurance claim when she worked at Nuffield a couple of years ago. I was that impressed with Kate's knowledge and confidence inspiring methods, and satisfied with the resolution of my long term injury, that when I suffered a completely unrelated sporting injury recently, I looked her up online as I specifically wanted to work with Kate again. Upon finding that Kate not only no longer worked at Nuffield meaning I wouldn't be able to use my private medical insurance again, but she also worked further away for me to travel to, I still had no doubt that travelling further and funding the treatment myself would be the best decision for my injury. That's how good Kate is. You only get one body, don't waste time messing around with second best, book in with Kate if you have a niggle that needs sorting!

Fantastic experience: Excellent. I had vestibular BPPV. I had had it for 10 days and was very frustrated with the nausea, uncertain balance and constant wobbly feeling. Kate used a manoeuvre on me which involved throwing my head in a certain way off the end of the bed. Obviously under her strict control and her careful hands. I had the manoeuvre twice. Second time. Cured. I am not joking. If this happens again i will be straight on to her in an instant.

Fantastic experience: Kate is an excellent physiotherapist. She has a huge range of skills allowing her to assess and treat her patients holistically. As a fellow physio myself, it's Kate I go to when I have issues! The visceral techniques can make huge changes in one session. I highly recommend seeing her.

Fantastic experience: Kate is an excellent physio who works holistically to resolve the issue no just working at the pain point but considering the whole body and how it functions to allow treatment of the root cause. Just wish there was more of her and that she lived closer

Positive experience: I can highly recommend Kate, she is professional, experienced, kind, enthusiastic, empathetic. I was able to move more easily with the exercises that she gave me. I can highly recommend her. If you invest in Kate, she will invest in you!

Fantastic experience: For over a decade Kate has worked wonders to guide me through recovery for various self inflicted injuries. Always willing to work to my target recovery schedule, and forgiving if I’ve missed some prescribed home rehab exercises.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Kate for treating my vertigo so effectively. I appreciated your support and professional expertise at what was a very difficult time for me. It is a comfort to know where you are if it happens again!

Fantastic experience: Really knowledgeable, calm and attentive to what can be a sensitive matter. Early yet to see results but very happy with everything so far. Visceral massage with Kate pilkington.

Fantastic experience: Kate is amazing. I've gone from getting tension headaches every week to getting one every few months. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I would have no hesitation recommending Kate, she is very knowledgable, and thorough, and I’ve always left feeling better!

Fantastic experience: Kate’s approach is kind, thorough and supportive, she asked loads of questions and evaluations to get to the cause and gave me treatments and exercises to help me mend - plus loads of advice to stay well.

Fantastic experience: Kate , who has looked after me through various issues has been fabulous, very professional , very holistic and has saved me on a couple of occasions from having to undergo invasive surgery and further investigation with her approach to determining the root cause to issue i’ve had by over training and frankly, just getting older

Fantastic experience: Kate is very professional, courteous and her clinical work is highly effective. Many thanks.

Fantastic experience: I found the whole experience very nice.Kate is very thorough with you,and then puts into place what needs to be done.I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Good care and treatment from Kate Pilkington. My lower back is a lot better now. Recommended.

Fantastic experience: A friend recommended Kate to me as I was struggling to get back on track after a hip replacement. My confidence was low and I hadn't appreciated how important it was to have physio after hip surgery - I was youngish and my expectations were high (I thought I would breeze through it but I spiralled downhill quite quickly). Kate gave me the encouragement and tailored exercises to target strength and mobility helping me to get myself back to all the activities I enjoyed- swimming, walking, aerobic classes. I also joined Kate's Pilates classes which I can highly recommend. I feel stronger and more confident than I have for years! Thanks again, Jackie

Fantastic experience: Following a referral by soft tissue therapist Caroline Whittome, Kate has helped significantly with side and after effects of my 4 years of treatment for bowel cancer. Her professional and innovative approach has quickly identified and provided relief for digestive difficulties as well as lower back pain. Kate has a wealth of knowledge and a wide range of treatment capabilities, which are tailored to individual patient needs. I have already recommended friends with similar problems to Kate and will continue to do so without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: It was my first time with Kate and I was a little apprehensive even though she had come highly recommended. She was very professional and set my mind at rest and explained what she was going to do and my experience after 2 treatments was great. I have had an issue for some years and she has certainly eased it and I will continue for a few more. Very satisfied.

Fantastic experience: Kate has provided a fantastic Physio, Pilates and Acupuncture service to me over many years helping me through multiple spine surgeries. I completely trust Kate as an expert and kind physio who has given me amazing care in my recovery through her physio and acupuncture, and ongoing stability and fitness through her great group Pilates classes.

Fantastic experience: I have been lucky enough to be treated by Kate for a few things over the last number of years. Kate listens so well and is very holistic in her approach. She has especially helped me in Long covid rehabilitation. I have also benefitted from her knowledge of the visceral release technique , the results of which seem almost magic... Thank you Kate.

Fantastic experience: Kate was great. After severe shoulder injury Kate had clear plan and great care. Great use of an app to help you get going with the exercises. Thank you! I owe my shoulder movement to your care.

Fantastic experience: Kate was amazing and she has really helped my problem. Fantastic service.

Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with Kate at Elkstone Grove Physiotherapy, she knew from day one what was important to me for my recovery after replacement shoulder surgery and is very hands on. She really helped me a lot
