Our comment from PhysioFinder.net about Physio Forward Ltd:

Highly Qualified Physiotherapists and Personalized Care

PhysioForward Ltd is staffed by a team of highly qualified Chartered Physiotherapists who are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP). The clinic prides itself on combining clinical expertise with a friendly, personal approach to ensure every patient feels at ease. Each individual receives a comprehensive initial assessment, a clear diagnosis, and a tailor-made treatment plan designed for effective recovery and prevention of recurrence. This professional foundation ensures that patients receive evidence-based care in a welcoming environment.

Expertise in Musculoskeletal and Sports Injuries

The team is particularly renowned for its ability to resolve complex and long-standing sports injuries. Patients have shared remarkable success stories involving the treatment of ankle instability, Achilles ruptures, shoulder injuries, and knee problems. Specialists like Katrina Shaw and Jo Steele are frequently highlighted for their deep knowledge in diagnosing issues that others may have missed. For instance, Katrina’s thorough assessment led a half-marathon runner to the correct surgical referral when previous therapies had failed, resulting in a structured rehabilitation program that returned the patient to running. Another patient credited the team with resolving a frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis, allowing them to return to their sport quickly. The clinic’s ability to handle both acute injuries and chronic conditions is a major strength, with patients often noting significant improvements within a single session or a short course of treatment.

Specialized Pelvic Health and Postnatal Support

A standout feature of PhysioForward is the exceptional care provided by Nilma Patel in the field of pelvic health. Her work in pelvic floor physiotherapy, postnatal recovery, and the "Mummy MOT" service has earned widespread praise. Patients appreciate her ability to make them feel comfortable while addressing sensitive issues, such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, and post-pregnancy core weakness. Nilma’s approach includes practical advice, breathing retraining, and tailored exercises that have helped many patients regain their confidence and physical strength. Her expertise extends to menopause care and post-prostate surgery rehabilitation, offering discreet and effective support. Patients have described her as understanding, sweet, and incredibly knowledgeable, often noting that her guidance has made a life-changing difference to their quality of life.

Patient-Centered Approach and Effective Results

The clinic’s reputation is built on the strong relationships between therapists and patients. The staff is described as warm, approachable, and encouraging, creating a safe space where patients feel heard and supported. Leanne O’Brien, for example, is praised for inventing new exercises to overcome specific hurdles like De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (mother’s thumb) and for rebuilding core strength after a c-section. The therapists are commended for their clear explanations and for adjusting treatment plans based on patient progress. From resolving chronic back issues to improving mobility after long-standing injuries, the feedback consistently highlights the team’s professionalism, reasonable pricing, and dedication to helping patients achieve their personal health goals.

Fantastic experience: Pelvic physio by Nilma has been amaaazing to say the least. To add to it her friendly manner makes things so much easier and quicker to heal. Thank you for all your help

Emily Eldridge Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I first came to Physio Forward and saw Katrina Shaw in April 2025 because of ongoing ankle instability following an injury in August 2021. I was in the middle of training for a half marathon and, after unsuccessful previous physiotherapy, this felt like a last resort. From my initial consultation, I was immediately impressed by Katrina’s knowledge and the thorough way she took the time to understand my injury. Although it was not what I was expecting to hear, Katrina felt I needed to see an ankle surgeon for an MRI and specialist consultation. She referred me to an excellent surgeon who, after further assessment and testing, confirmed that my ankle did need surgical repair. Katrina supported me not only in preparing for surgery, but also throughout my post-operative rehabilitation in 2025 and into 2026, until I was discharged in May 2026. I am incredibly grateful for her expertise - both in recognising that surgery was needed and in providing a structured rehabilitation programme afterwards. Thanks to Katrina, I now have a much stronger ankle and I am back running again. I would not hesitate to recommend Katrina and Physio Forward to anyone. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Jo is a fantastic physio and has treated me for several injuries. She is warm and friendly whilst giving very clear and concise information. I trust her completely and highly recommend Physio Forward.

Hazzard Kathryn & Andy Published on Google

Fantastic experience: After rupturing my Achilles I was lucky enough to find Jo and her team at Physio Forward to complete my rehab after being totally let down by a previous physio. I can't thank them enough for sorting me out and getting me back playing sport. They were brilliant.

Annuja Vijayakumar Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Nilma for both pelvic floor physio and had a mummy MOT post birth of my daughter. Growing a baby and giving birth takes a huge toll on our bodies, Nilma has been amazing at identifying problems areas and advising me on how to regain my strength. Nilma is understanding, super knowledgeable and sweet. Seeing Nilma has provided me with a lot of reassurance too.

find james Published on Google

Fantastic experience: My time with Nilma has been exceptional. I was given some exercises I could do at home and within a few weeks my pelvic issues had subsided. Truly grateful, would highly suggest a visit.

Sonali Tank Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Nilma for pelvic floor physiotherapy and she has honestly made such a difference to my recovery. After having my daughter, I realised I was shallow breathing without even knowing it. Nilma taught me how to breathe properly again and the improvement has been incredible. I can especially feel it in my weekly group PT sessions. She’s so knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely lovely to work with. I truly feel supported every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend Nilma to anyone looking for pelvic floor physio or postnatal support.

Wonu Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Nilma. She has an approachable and relatable manner, puts you ease and gave great practical exercises and visualisations.

Trudy Taylor Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Nilma has been incredibly helpful during a very difficult time & always with a calm & reassuring presence. Her expertise in pelvic health & menopause care has been second to none & she immediately makes you feel at ease, answering any questions you have no matter how silly you think they may be. My hope is that one day this will all be available on the NHS for every woman. I recommend Nilma very highly indeed.

Andy Grant Published on Google

Fantastic experience: On meeting Nilma I found her to be very understanding, clear and confident in the treatment plan put together. Though a series of visits we progressed through exercises tailored to my progress on a monthly basis. I would thoroughly recommend Nilma and enjoyed my time working with her.

Lucy Hughes Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen Jo at Physio Forward for two separate issues knee pain and tennis elbow, and I can honestly say that she is outstanding! Jo is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Her expertise and clear explanations made me feel confident and supported throughout both treatments. She helped me a great deal with both problems, and I noticed significant improvement under her care. On top of that, Jo is an absolute pleasure to talk to! she brings a positive and approachable energy that makes each session enjoyable. I highly recommend Jo and the entire team at Physio Forward, they provide excellent care in a welcoming and professional environment.

Physio Forward Ltd

Thanks Lucy, thats great to hear ☺️

Joanna Porter Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Physio Forward, I originally went with a lower back issue which an osteopath & 3 physios previously had not managed to sort out. I saw Jo Steele who was excellent, very professional, and thorough. She resolved my back issue.

Physio Forward Ltd

Thanks so much Jo ☺️

Melissa Edmondson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Would really recommend booking in with Nilma for a Mummy MOT if you have recently had a baby. I went to see her 3 months post partum as was struggling with my recovery - she pinpointed what the issues were and gave me exercises to build back up my strength. 2 months later I’m feeling much stronger and recently been able to take part in some of the classes I haven’t been able to join since pre pregnancy!

Physio Forward Ltd

Thanks Melissa, great to hear your progress ☺️

Carrie Mae Published on Google

Fantastic experience: 10/10 I cannot recommend this place enough! I’ve been working with Pelvic Health Physio, Nilma Patel since March and have experienced a significant improvement with symptoms already. Very knowledgeable, thorough, friendly and answered all questions, completely putting me at ease. I’m so glad I found Nilma at Physio Forward after being let down and brushed off by my GP, who did not recognise my prolapse symptoms or the impact it was having on my quality of life. With bespoke exercises, breathing and abdominal massage, I’m now hopeful about my prognosis and making progress. Thanks again!

Physio Forward Ltd

Thanks so much Carrie, we think Nilma is fab too. Good luck with your continued progress ☺️

Fantastic experience: Amazing place. Came in with shoulder injury, being in constant pain. Katrina is very kind and knowledgeable and makes you feel welcome as well as informed about what she suspects the issue is and how she will proceed. She immediately asked me if I suffer with headaches which I do. She has done her magic and I can’t even remember the last time I had a headache! My shoulder is progressing nicely also. Definitely recommend this place and Katrina herself.

Physio Forward Ltd

Thanks Hana. Glad to hear that Katrina could help you so quickly

Fantastic experience: The team at Physio Forward are amazing and truly professional. They helped sort out my shoulder when I had a rotator cuff problem after an accident so I was able to get back to tennis quicker.

Physio Forward Ltd

Thank you, so glad we could help you with your shoulder pain and get you back out on the tennis court.

Emily Published on Google

Fantastic experience: The best I’ve found. Finally solved a problem ive been dealing with for 10+ years. Couldn’t recommend more. Wide knowledge and very welcoming and safe.

Negative experience: Rude staff members. Avoid this place if you want avoid potential injuries

Physio Forward Ltd

This person has never been a patient at the clinic. We have reported this review to google.

Rr Rr Published on Google

Negative experience: I recently visited this clinic and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience. Although I wasn't seeing the physiotherapist myself, I witnessed an extremely rude interaction with the assistant. My pregnant friend was trying to sit down when the assistant aggressively fought her for the chair. During this confrontation, my friend injured her hand. What made the situation even more upsetting was the apparent prejudice behind the assistant's behavior. My friend felt unwelcome and disrespected, and it seemed the treatment was influenced by her being a non-British woman with dark skin. Based on this experience, I would advise others to avoid this clinic in the future.

Physio Forward Ltd

This person has never attended our clinic. We have reported this review to google and are taking legal advice regarding defamation.
Also to add for clarification, Physio-Forward is a diverse working team and in all the 20+ years we have been open as a clinic we have never received a single complaint about any prejudice.

Gabriella Wraith Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I saw Jo for a frozen shoulder, plantar fasciitis, and various foot issues caused by hypermobility. I’m very happy with the treatment I received, Jo is very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The exercises and massage really helped and I would definitely see Jo again, should I need more physio in the future.

Christina Gallin-Koné Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I have had a fantastic experience with Physio Forward. Jo is highly experienced and very knowledgeable.

Samuel Ross Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Kat is professional and amazing. Great physio! I’m so much better.

Clara Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Nilma for a Mummy MOT! I knew I'd get lots out of the appointments, but Nilma taught me so much! The treatment in the sessions was very effective and I came away with lots of exercises to work on for longer term strength and flexibility. Thank you so much for all your help!

Ian Dennis Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I have been helped by Nilma following Prostate surgery and needed to retrain my pelvic floor and bladder. Excellent step by step advice and exercises have put me on the right track without any medication. Already seeing improvement and I’m confident that I can make more progress by following the exercise programme.

Tom & Bertie Butler Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I first came to see Nilma for a Mummy MoT at beginning of Feb when I was just over 4 months post partum. She made me feel comfortable and made me realise that is okay to still be leaking here and there still after a natural birth and it not expected for me to be running again just yet. Over the past 4 months she has helped me build up my core strength and PF to the point were I can now run 5K leak free which back in January i thought would not be possible. My fitness levels have massively improved and I am beginning to feel like my old self again. I can't wait to come back after baby No 2 when ever that will be.

Eleanor Cook Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I've been visiting Kat at Physio Forward since January due to Plantar fasciitis. I wasn't able to run at all before visiting Kat, and just a couple of sessions in I was back up and running literally! I continued on with sessions since then and I am pretty much back to normal now which is fantastic! I can't thank or rate Kat/Physio Forward enough! Kat and the team are welcoming, super friendly and very thorough. I recommend this physio highly!!

Kate Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic. Nilma was delightful, professional and encouraging. I learnt so much including how to do exercises correctly and the importance of looking after pelvic health. I thought I knew most things but there is so much more we can do to help ourselves. I would recommend her to all family and friends. Thank you Nilma

Ryan Bailey Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Katrina is fantastic. I was so sceptical to be honest about whether my headaches would get better but they have and I’m so happy, can’t recommend her enough. Fabulous

Lorraine Trusty Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Very impressed, such a lovely and professional clinic, I’ve recommended Katrina to all my friends and family, she was very professional and knowledgeable

Joanna Shaw Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Really great experience. I have struggled with an old injury for years but Katrina has really helped improve my mobility. I can’t believe the difference it has made!

Phil Scott-Long Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Katrina was fantastic helping me recover from an achilles injury, giving me some really great advice and rehabilitation

Lorna Exton Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Katrina helped rebuild my confidence following ankle surgery, she explained all the steps of my recovery well, gave me progressive exercises that I could manage at home. I am thrilled with the progress I have made, still more work to do but Katrina has been brilliant with my post surgery care.

Robert Shackleton Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Very impressed! Excellent, professional advice. Thank you!

Iain Palmer Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Cannot rate the physios there highly enough. Over the last few years, I have had three separate sports injuries and the team there has sorted them out within a single session each time. They really know their stuff. Absolutely brilliant and very reasonably priced.

Annie Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I don’t often leave reviews but Leanne O’Brien has been so excellent that I wanted to say thank you. I started seeing Leanne a few months after my baby was born via a c-section. I had De Quervain’s Tenosynovitis (mother’s thumb) which was so bad that things like doing up the poppers on a babygrow was extremely painful. After several months with Leanne it’s now completely better. She has also pretty much entirely rebuilt my core, which is now stronger than before I was pregnant. I’ve seen lots of physios over the years and what really impressed me about Leanne is her knowledge and understanding, which meant she was able to adjust the exercises when they weren’t quite working, including inventing knew exercises.

Caryn Barnes Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Fantastic physios with a really personal and approachable touch. Highly recommend!
