Fantastic experience: I had my ACL reconstruction surgery last year and I was lucky to have worked with Dom for my rehab. Dom is a professional and expert in knee rehab, he was amazing in helping me set a very comprehensive rehab plan and assess my progress along the way He is always prepared for our physio sessions and encouraging when I had setbacks. With his help, I have quickly regained strength, agility and stamina, as well as confidence in doing sports without worrying about the knee. Now I have fully returned to doing sports and back to playing football at my level before injury. I could only recommend him highly, particularly for knee issues.

Fantastic experience: Could not be happier with the results Dom has produced after working closely with him on an ongoing neck issue for the past 12 months. He’s always been attentive, professional and understanding of the situation, and has progressed me at the perfect pace to where I am now where I am starting to feel like me again. Big thanks Dom, the world needs more people like you mate. Also I must add that every time I arrived each receptionist was very welcoming and I was always greeted with a smile :) Thanks all, Eddie

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been seeing Aleyna for her recovery after spinal fusion surgery. Aleyna has been fantastic. She always explains everything and we have seen great progress over the last few months. Aleyna’s knowledge and understanding is excellent. Top’s are very lucky to have her! Thank you

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been visiting here recently, the service has been great. Aleyna has really helped her recovery from an injury which is allowing her to recover and get back to training. Knowledgeable, caring and professional. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful advices, solved my shoulder pain in a few weeks.

Fantastic experience: Aleyna was very professional. After a few sessions I now feel much better.

Fantastic experience: Aleyna was excellent!!! Super efficient and effective. Very approachable. Got me moving again! Wonderful asset to Tops:Health.

Fantastic experience: Couldn't be happier with my treatment here, Aleyna was very attentive, thorough and clear with diagnosis and treatment programme!

Fantastic experience: Aleyna has been a brilliant. She has helped with my pain problem. She was attentive and very professional.

Fantastic experience: Dom was instrumental in my recovery following ACL surgery. We spent 18 months working together with a a number of evolving series of gym and conditioning routines and the result is fantastic. I am back running again, with legs stronger than they used to be. Very grateful to have found him!

Fantastic experience: Dom has helped me for the past year and half, following a ruptured knee ACL volleyball injury. He got me prepared for the surgery and then planned my whole rehab and return to sport following the surgery. It was great to know the full timeline with milestones determined by a series of tests with criteria which would clearly highlight if I was ready to move on to the next stage of the Rehab plan, or not. Dom always listened, and explained where the pain came from and if it was something to worry about or something to work through it. Dom's approach gave me confidence to fully return to sport, without worrying of re-injury. So far so good! Thanks Dom.

Fantastic experience: Dom really helped me at a time when I felt pretty pessimistic about ever recovering from chronic lower back pain. I'd seen two chiros and four physios over 4.5 years and had mainly been told that I would probably have to live with the pain. Dom gave me hope again, and helped me to believe that my back could improve, to develop confidence in my back not to let me down, and to regain movement. Besides that he's just the nicest, kindest person! Thank you Dom!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been really impressed with the quality of care given by Dom at Tops Health. It’s very easy to book online and be seen promptly. Most importantly, despite different injuries over the last 8 months, I’m back on track with an ongoing plan to prevent the injuries from reoccurring. Dom listens and observes closely, providing a diagnosis and effective treatment plan. I appreciated his willingness to explain what the problem was and how the exercises would help and to tweak an exercise to suit my level of fitness.

Fantastic experience: I've had a brilliant experience with Tops Health over the last 18 months. From diagnosis and pre-surgery preparation through to all of my rehab, including plans and testing following ACL surgery, I would highly recommend Dom Vaughan!

Fantastic experience: Dom Vaughan did a fantastic job helping me recover from a bad fall, going from no moving to back to normal in two weeks! Greatly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Great experience online and in the physical place with great footcare.

Negative experience: A nice, kind chat about my issue but no concrete, professionally laid out exercises or treatment plan laid out for improvement. I wasn’t confident that my issue was taken seriously and when I reached out to request a more comprehensive treatment plan was brushed off with the bare minimum. A shame

Fantastic experience: Pilates lessons at TOPS have been a part of my life for over 15 years. They've been a huge part of keeping me fit (at 83). There's been a variety of different teachers over the years, with different techniques, but all good. Many thanks, TOPS, Paul

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful find! On my recent trip to Oxford, I was welcomed to continue my usual Pilates practice through attending an in-studio reformer class as well as two online mat classes. Booking was simple, communication was quick, and instruction was excellent and thoughtful. It is nice to know I can visit again when I return to visit family in Oxford!

Positive experience: I've always enjoyed and benefitted from the clinical yoga classes. At presentI can't egtto them but would love to re-join a suitable one maybe in another 6-12 months from now. The on-lline worked well too, until the move to the new premises, when connections could be very variable and uncertain. However that maybe is either worted now or not being offered unless this winter's Covid is going to make it necessary.

Fantastic experience: Annina Schmid dealt with my concerns well and laid out a good plan for physiotherapy and exercises needed going forward. Friendly and helpful staff got me booked in last minute when there was a cancellation.

Fantastic experience: I have visited Jess for a number of years. She has a great depth of experience and knowledge, enabling her to analyse issues and recommend appropriate and effective remedies. I have absolute confidence in her and wouldn't hesitate to recommend a consultation with her.

Fantastic experience: Extremely friendly and professional physio support. Definitely helped me recover and get back to playing sport and training in the gym quicker than I would have been able to do myself.

Fantastic experience: I had an accident and suffered a grade 2 quad injury while in training for an endurance event. Dominic Vaughan treated me for the initial injury and devised a rehab programme which meant that some 8 weeks later I was able to begin the event.

Fantastic experience: I have seen 2 separate therapist over the last 3 years both have been absolutely fantastic. They are knowledgeable, professional and very helpful. Without there help I would be struggling. Thank you Tops for having those wonderful therapists in your clinic :-)

Fantastic experience: I've had chronic lower back pain for 20 years or so; the NHS weren't able to do anything about it. When it suddenly became much worse, I decided to go to Tops. Their physiotherapist Catherine Huck quickly diagnosed a "slipped disc", and prescribed a regime of gentle exercises. Within a week I was back to normal. After a few more weeks of continuing the exercises, my back is better than it's been for decades.

Fantastic experience: Very happy with my results in a short period of time, great detail of information with different levels of exercises which has helped me improve somewhat from how it originally was but still having treatment. Very friendly and welcoming there so would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Very friendly stuff both at reception and Therapist. Clare Scott my physio therapist tries to support me and encourage positivity even when you feel you haven’t done well. She provides clear instructions with your exercise.

Fantastic experience: Another great visit, after two years of lockdown some minor issues to work on

Fantastic experience: Dom at TOPS health is an amazing physio. I have always found him to be an excellent listener which means he is always to properly deduce the problem and treat it accordingly. I would recommend him and TOPS Health generally for anyone looking for first rate physio services.

Fantastic experience: Staff are great, really helpful and encouraging towards your goals. The physio treatment is also great in helping to loosen my frozen shoulder.

Fantastic experience: Every time i've been staff have been helpful, friendly and effective. Would definitely recommend Tops.

Fantastic experience: I have only ever had excellent care from the physios and the reception staff. I cannot recommend TOPS highly enough

Negative experience: Disappointed with the treatment in the follow up session. Session started 5 min late and the therapist rushed through the last few minutes saying she had another appointment. Spoke to me for 15/25 min of session and didn't really help. Despite telling her that I was struggling with pain and couldn't afford regular sessions, she hardly taught me exercise.

Fantastic experience: I have been receiving physiotherapy from Dominic Vaughan at TOPS physio for the past four months. I was almost ready to give up all hope of running again after a sports injury to my knee. Dom has been absolutely brilliant in looking for subtle clues on the clinical examination, setting realistic rehab exercise goals and switching to online consultations when necessary. TOPS as a practice was also great in communicating with me and I was pleased to be able to book my appointments online. I can highly recommend using their service - it has made a tremendous difference in helping me get back to doing the sport that I love!

Fantastic experience: Jess was brilliant. She quickly diagnosed my problem and gave me the appropriate exercises, which she kindly demonstrated and followed up with an email. She was friendly, empathetic and efficient. I have no hesitation in heartedly recommending her.

Negative experience: They turned me away for a private yoga class for being a wheelchair user, despite the fact I have been to regular classes (elsewhere).

Fantastic experience: The physios at TOPS always get me moving again quickly after I've managed to damage some or other part of me. They are more than happy to talk to me about my injury, explaining why it happened and how to stop it happening again. I recommend them highly because they offer a friendly and professional service that is hard to beat.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic yoga, helped all my aches and pains. Catherine you are amazing.

Fantastic experience: I had a sports-massage there and it was by far one of the best massages I ever had, although it was really painfull. I went there with severe back pain from deadlifting and not really being able to turn my neck nor upper body. After the massage everything felt more flexible immediately and the next day (although all muscles were pretty sore) the intense pain I was dealing with for several days before was gone and didn't come back since.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Pilates classes at Tops for many years and find these excellent for keeping in good health. Pilates at Tops exercises and stretches all muscles and helps to build strength in the inner core, which is essential for posture and fitness.

Positive experience: Consistently helpful, once you have found compatible teacher.

Fantastic experience: Because I think TOPS is brilliant at what it does, and how it does it. Very professionally competent staff, who are extremely friendly, helpful, and kind.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending TOPS for the past 5 years. I have attended pilates classes, yoga classes, yoga nidra and also physiotherapy and massage. Each and every time i have attended TOPS the service has been professional. The space is stunning and is perfectly located within walking distance of Summertown. As a professional dancer it is difficult to find people who truly understand the workings of a dancers body! We recommend all of our students to TOPS who have in return helped our dancers with recovery, health and overall fitness.

Fantastic experience: I have been with Tops Physio for the past 10 months almost immediately after my ACL reconstruction surgery. Throughout this time they've been excellent, giving me new exercises to do on a regular basis and showing me how to do them. They were also always there to advise me on how to handle my recovery and as a student who goes home for the holidays it was incredibly reassuring to feel that I could always get in touch with them with any issues that arise. In fact there was a stage where I thought I had ruptured my knee again and my physio made every effort to see me immediately for a special session and arranged for me to have an MRI scan. I recently had my final session with them and I'm really glad I found them, I can't imagine having gone through my recovery without the physios support!

Fantastic experience: Really happy with the service from Tops. Had had terrible advice from the NHS who’d given me a wrist brace for a thumb injury and two weeks after the injury the pain was getting worse. Booked an appointment with Tops physio not realising I needed to see a hand specialist. But their standard physio saw me anyway and gave me a free once over and strapped me up before referring me to Anne, their hand specialist. Even though Anne was booked up, the team managed to get me a cancellation. Anne was lovely, told me exactly what was wrong and gave me a thumb splint which immediately took the pain away and meant I can use my thumb and the muscles can regenerate to heal, also advised me on rehab etc. Very good service all around from this company. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Not only was everyone friendly but the physiotherapist, Dominic, was especially great: he explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it, he was friendly and I really felt like he cared. I also felt like I better understood what was wrong with me at the end of it. If I need a physiotherapist again (hopefully I won't) I'll definitely come back to TOPS Physio.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant place, can't recommend it highly enough. Had a broken ankle last year, which frequently doesn't heal quite back to where it was. Did intensive physio and they got it back to as good as new.

Fantastic experience: I've been attending the Tops clinic for quite some time now and it has helped immensely in the healing of some knee and back problems. The professionalism is exceptional and they obviously know their stuff. They recommended exercises that I could do on s daily basis and no doubt helped my rehabilitation.

Fantastic experience: I had a terrible groin injury but after a few sessions Nicola managed to heal it and put a smile on my face
