Our comment from PhysioFinder.net about DTR Clinic:
Expert Physiotherapy and Chiropractic Care in Cardiff
DTR Clinic has established itself as a premier destination for physiotherapy and chiropractic services in Cardiff, consistently praised by patients for its high standard of clinical expertise and personalized care. The center combines professional treatment with a warm, welcoming atmosphere, making it a preferred choice for individuals seeking effective solutions for both acute injuries and long-term musculoskeletal conditions.
A Highly Skilled and Knowledgeable Team
One of the most frequently highlighted aspects of DTR Clinic is the exceptional skill and deep knowledge of its practitioners. Patients consistently describe the therapists as highly experienced and knowledgeable in a wide range of specialties, including sports injuries, back pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation. Professionals such as Deelan, Marta, Steve, and Carolyn are repeatedly commended for their thorough diagnoses and ability to explain treatment plans clearly. This transparency helps patients feel reassured and confident in their recovery journey, often leading to rapid improvements in mobility and pain reduction.
Personalized Treatment Plans and Education
Unlike clinics that rely on a one-size-fits-all approach, DTR Clinic is celebrated for tailoring every session to the individual’s specific needs. The team focuses not only on alleviating immediate symptoms but also on educating patients about their condition and providing customized exercise programs to sustain long-term health. Patients appreciate how therapists address underlying causes, such as posture issues or biomechanical imbalances, rather than just treating the pain. This comprehensive approach, which often includes manual therapy, electrotherapy, and therapeutic exercises, has helped many return to full fitness and enjoy an improved quality of life.
Friendly, Supportive, and Inclusive Environment
From the moment they arrive, patients notice the friendly and welcoming nature of the staff, from receptionists to physiotherapists. The clinic is described as having a relaxed and professional environment where patients feel comfortable and understood. The team is noted for its empathy and kindness, with many reviews highlighting the genuine care shown towards patients.

Fantastic experience: Very professional but friendly too!
Fantastic experience: First class! Angela on reception was very welcoming . Marta was superb in her diagnosis and explained everything she was doing to me. She showed me what I could do to ease the pain in a very professional manner. Thankyou
Fantastic experience: I was treated here for long term neck pain. Deelan offered a course of treatment that was effective, professional and quick. As someone who’s never been to a chiropractor before, I was reassured by the information and education that was provided throughout the course of treatment to understand how I can alleviate the pain and sustain it long term. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Best physio in Cardiff
Fantastic experience: Have been multiple times to DTR for Physio and Chiropractic appointments and can’t recommend them enough. Deelan and the team are really professional and have always gotten me back to full fitness after sports injuries. Deelan is really knowledgable in his sector and provides a thorough service.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at DTR, I had a problem with my knee that was causing some discomfort and clicking like when you crack a knuckle. I saw Marta Czymbor and after a brief discussion and a demonstration diagnosed it as a bone spur that was being antagonised by a tight quad, she resolved the muscle tightness, which itself was causes by how I was walking. After a massage, the knee stopped clicking and felt much better. Marta promptly emailed me some exercises to help. I didn't expect to leave the clinic with the issue resolved and I'm very grateful for how carefully Marta explained everything as she went through diagnosis and treatment.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service by Steve. Would definitely recommend going to see him for any problems!
Negative experience: Very poor physio service. My appointment which would consist of me and 3/4 other people being hooked up to ultrasound machines for virtually the entirety of every session. Despite the price, the physio would be seeing numerous people during my appointment, going and back and forth between us all on our ultrasound machines. I think medical jury is out about whether ultrasound even does anything. I had to ask for some exercises to take away at the end of the session. Seemed to be a one size fits all approach. Have been to far better physios who tailored each session and my rehab to fit me.
Fantastic experience: professionals who know what they are doing
Fantastic experience: Great service. Listened to my problems with mobility. Checked me out physically. Received treatment and follow up exercises and advice. Great experience. Improved mobility and posture but will visit again as still have residual issues.
Fantastic experience: Steve Cannon: I came for the physio; stayed for the floor show. Seriously, Steve has treated me several times over the years and I can state that he provides a first class service.
Fantastic experience: Great service Thank you
Fantastic experience: Briony is fantastic!
Negative experience: Terrible experience - went to DTR for a sports massage and experience left damage to left shoulder. I reported this to DTR whose response was to ignore. So, now after GP care, physio and remedial work after 3 months, the harm caused is on the road to recovery. If you were thinking of going here for a sports massage for care and professionalism - don’t and go elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Earlier this year I had a total knee replacement. This was followed by a course of physiotherapy at the DTR clinic. The quality of the advice and treatment I received was excellent throughout. Very experienced physiotherapists, using the full range of up to date technology deliver a very personal service in relaxed surroundings. I cannot thanks the team enough.
Fantastic experience: I went in to see Deelan as I was dealing with pretty bad pain on the right side of my back due to a fall I had not long ago and the injury I suffered as a result of it. After 4 sessions with Deelan, I'm very happy to say that the pain has completely gone away, and not only that Deelan also sorted out some posture issues that I've dealt with for years and now my posture is the best it has been since I was a kid. Deelan was also very clear with his treatments and very supportive and kind throughout the whole time I was there. Honestly I cannot recommend this place enough :)
Fantastic experience: Such lovely people. Thank you Briony for your magic fingers athanasius to you and Alison for being so friendly, it makes all the difference. See you again but not to soon I hope. Definitely 5 star treatment!
Fantastic experience: If unfortunately like me you suffer with back & leg problems, this is the place to go. Excellent professional, friendly staff operating in a well equipped clinic. Apart from normal physiotherapy, they also offer acupuncture, which I find works well for me.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful treatment from Carolyn today as always Friendly and professional staff and always helpful to fix appointments Couldn’t walk on Sunday and golfing on Thursday Thank so much Carolyn
Fantastic experience: I am very pleased that I was referred to DTR. Steve took on board all my symptoms and he was easy to talk to. He is clearly very experienced and I have every confidence in him
Fantastic experience: It's a great place for physio & the great for a chat with Chris & Steve.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic friendly staff from the receptionists to the physiotherapists. Very helpful and knowledgeable where nothing is too much trouble. The only issue which is out of their control is the lack of parking in the surrounding area. They have a small car park on site but if this is full you could be driving around for a while. However, once you're in, it is a friendly, relaxed and professional experience.
Fantastic experience: Totally recommend DTR and Dr Stephen Cannon, he is very professional, highly experienced and always smiling.
Fantastic experience: Very experienced and great knowledge for a wide range of needs. Great equipment and exercises to help prevent further damage.
Fantastic experience: Over the years the DTR clinic have helped in my recovery from various injuries. They are effective, professional and very honest. If they don't feel they can help they tell you. In my experiance they are the best. Thanks especially to Christine.
Fantastic experience: Best physio I've ever been to. Reasonably priced and highly professional.
Fantastic experience: My first time having to see a physiotherapist. Weeks of being in pain with my knee and not getting anywhere with the doctors, my step father recommended Steve Cannon in the DTR clinic. What an incredible man! He clearly knows his profession. Very professional, but with a sense of humour. Really put me at ease and gave me peace of mind. So pleased this clinic was recommended. Receptionist was equally as lovely. Will definitely recommend to anyone in need of physio.
Fantastic experience: I can not recommend the DTR clinic enough. I've seen Stephen at the clinic itself and Jordan for sports injury massage. Stephen helped me recover from an injury that could have severely impacted my life, they have a wealth of knowledge and experience there. Jordan is by far one of the best masseuses I've ever visited and has helped me hugely
Fantastic experience: Phenomenal care, treatment and rehabilitation from a great clinic. Friendly staff and amazing results on the worst injury I've ever suffered!

Fantastic experience: I have been a DTR patient since1995. Treatment is always first class & the whole of the DTR team ensure that they treat the person as well as the injury. Cannot recommend highly enough. Would not go anywhere else.
