Fantastic experience: I received excellent advise and direction from Rachel and she investigated my concerns thoroughly . I am so grateful .
Fantastic experience: Booking was easy and Rachel listened to my numerous issues! Then prioritised treatment, which helped after first session. She then gave advice on rehab/ mobility exercise. I was made to feel at ease straight away and I had a running commentary on what my muscle knots were doing.
Fantastic experience: Rachel quickly identified and explained my knee issue and provided an exercise plan to prevent further injury.
Fantastic experience: Rachel was excellent and very knowledgeable. Extremely good value and I thoroughly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Update May 2026 I’ve recently been treated by Rachel and I am so impressed. I feel for the first time, after visits to various practitioners, that the root of my shoulder pain has been correctly diagnosed. Rachel did this in one session. I was not asked to write a review (unlike most businesses ask nowadays) so I can only assume that all the positive reviews on here are written by people like me who take the initiative to express their thanks. August 2025 Although I never actually saw Rachel in the end, she provided really helpful advice on the phone. I was impressed that she clearly was focussed on my health and not on generating business for her. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I picked this clinic from among the various options available in Stamford and I don't regret it one bit. Rachel was very friendly, knowledgeable and reassuring and has helped me get over the worst of my lower back flare-up. She's also provided some great exercises for me to practise regularly now that the actual physio sessions are no longer needed.
Fantastic experience: Rachel is fabulous, I feel like I'm in safe hands. I would highly recommend should you need to see a physio.
Fantastic experience: I had a brilliant post marathon sports massage with Rachel; she’s so knowledgeable. My legs feel alive again! Would absolutely recommend
Fantastic experience: Rachel was absolutely brilliant. She listened me and fully understood the problem before reassuring me and then laying out a great plan to get me back on track. Wish I had done it 3 months sooner! Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: Rachel gave me an in depth consultation following a shoulder injury. Diagnosed problems with thorough examination and provided an exercise treatment plan. All done professionally and friendly. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Rachel’s manner is excellent, taking the time to carefully listen and understand before setting out likely causes and necessary actions. Rachel’s knowledge is very strong based on the good advice given both at the session and in a follow up email, I would recommend her without hesitation.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Rachel, she has been helping me so much with my back issues and I always walk out feeling more flexible and lighter
Thank you Andrianna!
Fantastic experience: Thank you very much i will come again, i feel now like new Woman xx
Fantastic experience: It was really good to get assessed by Rachel - she was knowledgeable and experienced, has understood my injuries and issues so now have a good plan to work on to heal etc so definitely recommend :)
Fantastic experience: A lovely physio clinic and Rachel was excellent. She got to the root of my long standing back problem very quickly, gave some immediate relief with hands on therapy and has given me the knowledge and exercises to know how to help myself in the long run. I would happily recommend her.
Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend Rachel highly enough. I had 6 months of a severely debilitating tenosynovitis in my dominant hand which was having a huge impact in my quality of life. From an initial consultation, she researched my condition to see if her services would be suitable, then set expectations and was honest from the outset as the supporting literature wasn't conclusive. Within 3 months of treatment I am back from not being able to hold a coffee cup to full weight training again. After my treatments she provided quick, free advice on how to ease back into the gym too. I dont hesitate to recommend her to any friends and family that have aches and pains. Thank you!
Hi Matt,
This is so great to hear, I’m glad you’re back into your weight training again and have made a full recovery!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback.
Best wishes, Rachel

Fantastic experience: Rachel is very professional and I feel her sports massage is very effective!
Fantastic experience: Rachel was very professional but also friendly. Put me at ease straight away, listened to the issues with my knee and was able to diagnose the problem. Treatment and advice on stretching exercises to do at home. One week later, my knee is a lot better! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend more highly. Rachel diagnosed the issue quickly, explained it clearly and then proceeded to address the problem. Following the session I was immediately provided a written explanation and further action for me to take to assist recovery. Outstanding service.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic to have a fully qualified physio in Stamford who I have to say was brilliant with my ankle football injury. Rachel listened and provided a sensible plan which has worked. I never felt under pressure to book a long course of sessions. Highly recommended
Fantastic experience: A great sports massage in a bright clean Phsyio setting with nearby parking. Very professional and highly recommended
Fantastic experience: I booked and received a prompt telephone consultation with Rachel who took my history, asked good questions and again promptly booked me in for a face to face consultation to address my issues. Communication throughout via email confirmation for both appointments was all in place. Responsive and smooth service to get seen for a shoulder issue.
Fantastic experience: Amazing session today, the acupuncture really helped

Fantastic experience: Rachel listened carefully about my symptoms and examined me fully before giving her opinion and treatment suggestions. I was very impressed with the clear explanation she gave about the diagnosis. She gave me exercises to do and there was no pressure to book a second appointment. All of this was followed up straight away with an email to confirm all that we discussed. I have been to Rachel before for a massage which was also excellent. The clinic is spotlessly clean and Rachel was very professional and friendly. I highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Rachel is so knowledgable and professional! I had a sports massage recently and she went above and beyond to help me understand the cause of my pain and sent me detailed exercises to add on to my workouts that will support my muscles and improve pain. Would highly recommend ☺️
Thank you Abby!
Fantastic experience: I had an assessment on a painful swollen knee and sore shoulder. Rachel was extremely thorough investigating the injuries before diagnosing. In my case there was no need for further treatment but advise was given on exercises that would alleviate the issues and prevent further injuries occurring. An excellent service, thank you.
Thank you Neil!
Fantastic experience: Attended for an assessment of a soft tissue leg injury having had a ten minute phone assessment with Rachel the previous week. The clinic is spotless, well laid out and relaxing. Rachel is welcoming, friendly, informal and highly professional. She did a thorough assessment of my leg before giving me a full verbal explanation of the likely cause of the pain and a management plan to deal with it. The was followed up with a written report by email the same afternoon. I was very impressed with the service.
Thank you for such a great review Chris! Hope you’re feeling better soon.

Thanks Claire! Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Very thorough assessment and informative.
Fantastic experience: My experience at Stamford Physiotherapy was extremely positive! Rachel was both friendly and professional, explaining everything fully and in a way that I was able to understand. She listened and did a thorough assessment of my problem to reach a diagnosis, and then we talked through my current work out plan to provide me with adaptations and steps towards recovery. This plan was even emailed over with videos accompanying her suggestions. I’m really pleased I booked an appointment here and will definitely book in again if I have another need in the future.
Fantastic experience: Had my assessment with Rachel this morning. She was most helpful and thorough giving me excellent advice. Look forward to working with her. Thanks Dawn
Fantastic experience: As a novice runner I was apprehensive about going to a physio and being able to explain the knee pain I was having without knowing the technical terms etc. However, Rachel was incredibly welcoming and really took the time to listen to my issues and explore every possibility and solution thoroughly. With her physio plan and advice I have been able to succeed in my goal to run a marathon - experiencing none of the pain I was having previously! I can't recommend her services enough!
Thanks so much for leaving such a lovely review Imogen. It was a pleasure working with you, and huge congrats on completing your marathon!
Fantastic experience: Rachel is a very professional and competent physio who is very easy to talk to. She quickly diagnosed what my issue is and I’m already feeling better after my first session. She also emailed a list of remedial exercises to do which I found particularly helpful as I can never quite remember what I’m supposed to do!
Thanks Michelle! I’m glad you found the session helpful, and happy to hear you’re already feeling better!
Fantastic experience: I’ve struggled with bloating on and off for years and after trying a few other places and being disappointed in the service, I finally contacted Rachel to ask about her manual lymphatic drainage massage. She was really professional and welcoming. The massage was incredibly relaxing and I can already see the difference in my bloating and energy levels, will be back to see Rachel for sure.
Negative experience: Not a manual lymphatic drainage session. What I had was a massage . What I booked was a MLDM. I am disappointed to say the least . My search for a professional manual lymphatic drainage session in Stamford continues.
Dear Sandi,
I'm sorry to hear that the service did not meet your expectations - thank you for leaving your review and bringing this to my attention. Please know that I take the quality of my services very seriously and will be reviewing this service in response to your feedback.
Kind Regards,
Rachel

Thanks Katie!
Fantastic experience: I recently started visiting Stamford Physiotherapy and couldn’t be more impressed with the service. During my initial consultation with Rachel, she took the time to thoroughly discuss my concerns, conduct an investigation, and quickly diagnose the issue. She provided treatment during the same appointment and gave me a personalised plan of stretches and exercises to follow. I noticed improvements almost immediately, which was amazing. I had my follow-up appointment this morning, and it was great to see even more progress within just a week. Rachel is incredibly knowledgeable, asks the right questions, and knows exactly what to do to both diagnose and treat effectively. The space itself is fantastic—calm, welcoming, and very conducive to recovery. I can’t recommend Rachel and Stamford Physiotherapy highly enough. Looking forward to continuing my treatment here!
What a lovely review! I really appreciate it, thank you Eddie.

Thanks Mark!
Fantastic experience: Really great physiotherapist. Rachel is welcoming and professional. The sports massage was really thorough, and hit all of the problem areas. Will certainly consider booking again.
Thank you! Hope you see you again soon.
Fantastic experience: Excellent, professional service. Rachel was extremely thorough and caring, taking the time to explain everything clearly. The treatment was brilliant and exactly what was required.
Fantastic experience: Fab massage today lovely experience , so friendly so relaxed , nice environment and felt like so much tension was released thank you
Fantastic experience: I have just had a really lovely sports massage with Rach where I released so much tension in my shoulders. She was so kind, warm and welcoming, and I'd love to mention how beautiful and calming her space is too, it was such a nice escape. I had to rehab my knee a few years back and how I would have loved to have been able to do it in an environment like this vs the very sterile hospital experience I had. Would highly recommend! xxx
Fantastic experience: I went to Rachel with a back issue following ski trip. After a consultation, I had a massage and was very happy with the result. I had immediate results, leaving with a few exercises and no follow up needed. I loved the atmosphere and the friendly professional treatment I received. I would highly recommend Rachel at Stamford Physiotherapy.
Fantastic experience: As soon as I walked through the door. Rachel was extremely friendly and welcoming, as was her studio space! I had an extremely beneficial sports massage in my back and shoulders which had just the right amount of relaxation added in too, with the lavender scented massage oil. I highly recommend Rachel, her skills and her knowledge to anyone in the area looking, for the perfect sports masssage!
Fantastic experience: Rachel was super welcoming! Really listened to the troubles I’ve been having with my foot/knee. Took me through some exercises, a foot massage to release the tension and I came away feeling very positive about making progress towards managing it properly and getting the right help ☺️
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Rachel! Went with hip pain I’d been struggling with for ages and no one else had really helped with. Rachel was quick to diagnose the issue and with her treatment and exercise programme I’m feeling the best I’ve felt in a long time! Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Professional approach to long standing problem. Rachel gave me a comprehensive exercise program to follow at home and I’m booked in for a physiotherapy massage. Lovely clinic environment, I left with a clear understanding of what was causing my issue and how it can be improved. Looking forward to my next appointment.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Had an amazing sports massage today, really relaxing and amazing service by Rachel. Definitely will be back, thank you! x
Fantastic experience: I had been worrying about my knee for some weeks and Rachel gave it a thorough assessment before recommending ways in which I could offset the aging process by exercising. Her previous experience working in the NHS and private sector was obvious. It was a reassuring and relaxing visit. Thanks.
