Brightwell Physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: I have seen three different physiotherapists at Brightwell over the last year, and each one has been polite, empathetic, efficient, knowledgeable, professional, and cheerful. I was provided with a sheet of graded exercises via email each time, to print off at home, so I didn’t have to remember them all after leaving the practice. Various methods were used to help my conditions – a full medical history, observance, dialogue, deep tissue massage, ultrasound therapy, acupuncture, and graded exercises. Parking and lavatories are available at both venues in the village, (make sure you know which one you are heading for) and somewhere to sit while you wait for your appointment time. One can mix and match private healthcare-funded sessions with self-funded sessions. A nearby garden centre provides a handy venue for lunch or a drink afterwards – just over half a mile away. Brightwell-cum-Sotwell is a delightful village, which enhances the physiotherapy session with its calming, rural setting.

Fantastic experience: Cant thank Mrs Nazir enough for her professionalism and exceptional treatment in helping with my pain and her keen sense of identifying my muscular issue and approach to help cure the problem has been outstanding. I feel much better and more positive now that the issue I had will now be taken care of and am healing now..thank you Mrs Nazir..(.recent patient with forearm tendon pain).

Fantastic experience: My visit to see Felicity with a torn rotator cuff turned out to be a great success. She was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the treatment plan. I was given exercises to do at home between appointments. So if you are suffering from a joint or tendon problem make sure you contact Brightwell Physiotherapy. I would definitely give Felicity 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Brightwell physio is an excellent place to go with true expertise at the helm. Just outside Didcot on the way to Wallingford the practice is to get to and definitely worth the journey

Fantastic experience: I was recovering from a fracture of the tibia plateau and the physio therapy, exercises and advise that I was given by Mohammad and Abbey was excellent. At the end of each session that comprised of hands on therapy and use of acupuncture, I had additional range of movement. It was a difficult injury to recover from and took a long time but I felt they were on the journey to recovery with me.

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at Brightwell Physio. When I first came I was struggling to walk or drive with an injured foot but over the months that I visited it began to really improve and I am now on track with training for an ultra-run. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Felicity and her team provide impeccable treatment in a professional, considered and friendly manner. I have been a patient on and off over the last five years with each injury/issue being treated precisely and promptly. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I just had some treatment at this clinic and i was very impressed by the way Tilly welcomed me, and seemed to know right away what was my problem.. My treatment was done as well by Muhammad. Lovely knowledgeable man. I really recommend that practice! A big thank you ,Tilly and Muhammad! Sabine

Fantastic experience: Muhammad is an exceptional physio. He’s played a huge role in my recovery from Achilles tendinitis, as well as a handful of other upper‑ and lower‑body niggles that cropped up along the way. He’s incredibly hands‑on, properly releases the muscle, and takes a genuinely holistic approach — he doesn’t just treat the symptom, he resolves the whole chain of issues behind it. He’s also constantly developing his skills outside the clinic, including dry needling and acupuncture, both of which have been extremely effective for me. Since working with him, I’ve been able to more than quadruple my running distance and add tennis and golf back into my routine consistently. Most importantly, I’ve finally broken the cycle of recurring injuries I kept falling into before coming to Brightwell. I’ve already recommended Muhammad to three other people, all of whom have seen him and been just as impressed. Thank you, Muhammad — keep up the fantastic work

Fantastic experience: Great location, really helpful & knowledgeable physios.

Fantastic experience: I cannot thank Abigail enough for her incredible help in getting me back to fitness after my MCL/ACL rehab and subsequent ACL reconstruction. Thanks to her I am back to exercising and almost back to doing everything I was before my injury. She was wonderful. She pushed me to challenge myself when I needed it whilst remaining at all times supportive and encouraging. I know from discussions with my consultant that my recovery time was shorter as a direct result of the work that Abigail did with me and I will be forever grateful.

Fantastic experience: Very user-friendly, discreet, practice... has miracle-"cured" several longstanding issues for me including the dreaded golfer's elbow. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Dr Muhammad Salman was a very patient, understanding, kind and outstanding physiotherapist. I would highly recommend him and would return to see him again if I have any ongoing musculoskeletal issues. An outstanding gentleman who I credit for resolving the pain and discomfort from 2 fractured vertebrae and a painful hip.

Fantastic experience: Nice clinic in a peaceful area. Dr Muhammad identified my problem on my first session and helped me to recover fully.

Fantastic experience: Really impressed by Dr Muhammad Salman. Over the years I've had quite a few injuries and seen various physios who really did not provide me with any help. Muhammad is the first physiotherapist I've met that actually has made a positive difference. Highly recommend him as a person who has helped achieve movement in my left shoulder which was previously completely frozen and extremely painful. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: The care and attention shown by the physiotherapist Mohammed was excellent. Always on time and made me feel reassured. For me it was never going to be 100% fix but I certainly came away feeling physically better. Thank you to all involved at Brightwell Physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: Muhammad’s physiotherapy proved effective. I found him to be a patient, caring and skilled professional. Though busy, the clinic was able to offer appointments that fitted with my work commitments.

Fantastic experience: I recently received treatment at Brightwell Physiotherapy for back trauma I incurred after an injury. Felicity managed to squeeze me in almost immediately where I was put in the excellent care of Abi whom I continued my sessions with and her home exercise routine. The care, compassion & follow up communication was highly appreciated and I have no hesitation in recommending this practice and their team. All healing takes time and patience but this was a very good start to my recovery and getting back to feeling ‘normal’. Thanks all! Michelle

Fantastic experience: Mohammed is an excellent physio who I would recommend without hesitation. Steve

Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend this physio practise. From my initial appointment I was confident that they would treat me professionally and I was thrilled with the outcome of my treatment for a sprained muscle in my neck.

Fantastic experience: Expert diagnosis, exemplary treatment and fully restorative outcomes at a friendly practice. Our local goto option for dependable physiotherapy

Fantastic experience: After five treatment my shoulder was fixed, muhammad was absolutely brilliant and adjusted the therapy each week to the different muscles that needed fixing. I will recommend him to anyone who has a work-related, strain, pull or damage.

Positive experience: I visited the clinic several times for my lower back and hip issues. However, I can't confidently say whether the treatment was effective for me or not. I received care from two different physiotherapists but didn't see significant improvement. Finding the right physiotherapist is quite challenging and often a hit or miss. I'm not saying that Brightwell Physiotherapy isn't good—they are indeed very good—but unfortunately, their treatment just didn't work for me.

Positive experience: I was heavily pregnant and went to this physio for pelvic girdle pain. All the sessions I had, I was hooked up to a tens machine. The physio was nice, but I didn’t feel I was getting much out of the sessions so went to another physio. I was looking for more specific help and somewhere to practice the exercises. I think it would have been great if the physio went through the exercises in the session and if they had an exercise ball big enough for pregnant women, rather than just talking about what to do and then being put on a machine and left for 25minutes. The room was quite small and uncomfortably hot in the summer and being pregnant was a challenge. I did like the fact there was a bathroom right next to the treatment room.

Fantastic experience: Brightwell Physiotherapy offer an excellent professional service. I was most impressed by their diagnosis and treatment of my injuries, plus the ongoing exercises recommended.

Fantastic experience: Many thanks to Brightwell Physiotherapy for getting me from injury to race ready with excellent care for both chronic (acl knee) and acute (abdominal strain) conditions. Way to go Team!

Positive experience: I went to Brightwell physio as I was suffering with sciatica, the first two appointments were good, and she was very informative with what she was doing, but on my third appointment it was as if she couldn't be bothered, I was late going in and I was paying 15 minutes before my appointment time was up, there was lack of conversation at this appointment as well. For this reason I cancelled my forth appointment and continued with the exercises that I was given, but these were the same exercises you can get off the Internet for sciatica. If I find myself needing a physio again I won't be going back here.

Fantastic experience: Felicity and the team are great! Incredibly knowledgeable and able to work plans for recovery to suit each person individual preferences. Thank you once again!

Fantastic experience: Brightwell Physiotherapy is fantastic and Ankita was brilliant. She really listened to my issues and then worked gradually with a plan to do at home which changed as I started to get better mobility. Really caring but focused on my recovery. Definitely recommend this practise. Wonderful Experience and outcome

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Ankita at Brightwell physiotherapy. She was professional and thorough, clearly explaining what she was doing and how to mitigate the problem with my knee.

Fantastic experience: Really good physio. Very convenient.

Fantastic experience: A welcoming, calm and professional service. Abigail provided me with treatment for a frozen shoulder, I felt at ease from the offset and was sent helpful information to continue with my exercises at home. The booking process and communication was a breeze and if ever I need physio in the future I won’t hesitate to return, thank you!

Negative experience: Bitterly disappointed. Had treatment in April but had to miss one appointment as my wife had to be taken to A&E. I let them know the morning of, 30 mins before as that was all the notice I had. Was told I had to pay for the missed appointment due to their policy (which I was never provided and not available on website) I didn’t continue with treatment as thought this was completely unreasonable. Today I have received a threatening letter with “Final Demand” on the envelope and on the letter inside. Very poor form and lack of empathy.

Fantastic experience: Excellent support provided and symptoms greatly relieved. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: They really helped me through a very difficult time. I did not realise how bad I was until they worked with me to show me the range of movement I could actually achieve. First class comms and service.

Fantastic experience: My daughter had injured her knee and was given excellent treatment over a period of weeks. She regularly continues with the exercises given to strengthen it. Highly recommend Brightwell Physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: Felicity was fantastic at assessing me, finding the source of my problem and then sorting it out. She is very knowledgable and I will continue to use Brightwell Physio for any future needs.

Fantastic experience: Over a 12 month period Felicity has calmly and competently led me through the lead up to, and recovery from, a left hip replacement. Having damaged my hip about 20 years ago, there was a lot a muscle damage to be repaired and then to regain flexibility and strength. Great job - I will certainly return should I need any further assistance. Thanks Felicity.

Fantastic experience: When I visited Felicity in January with a back injury I was in so much pain. After 3 sessions and an exercise plan I was pain free and mobile again. I am so grateful to Felicity, and highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I found Felicity Peach to be a highly professional and competent Physiotherapist. She is charming, kind and thoughtful and greatly improved my mobility after an accident.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly, patient and helpful experience, Felicity was understanding and listened to my problem and offered good advice, would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Very professional and knowledgable. Felicity Peach was able to quickly identify the cause of my intermittent neck pain, which had been bothering me for over 3 years. Having identified the cause, she was able to advise on adjusting my posture when working (previusly I would be hunched over my keyboard, typing, for hours on end), as well as gently manipulating and loosening my shoulder and back. She also provided me with a straightforward (and not too onerous) exercise regime. The result - neck pain has not returned! I will be eternally grateful, as will my work colleagues (no more grumpy moaning from me!). Thanks, Felicity.

Fantastic experience: Amazing and friendly physio who got to the bottom of my back issue. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Felicity for helping me with my injury. Great service and would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Felicity - she worked her magic and sorted out my back problem and I’ve never felt better!

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Felicity with whiplash, I was suffering with stiffness and pain in my shoulders, neck & upper back. Felicity was friendly and professional from the start of our consultation & helped me understand what I needed to do for on-going treatment. Her sessions always helped ease my pain & I left with a clear understanding of what I could do to help myself. 10 sessions has really helped and I feel comfortable to carry on without further treatment. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to Felicity if the problem re- occurred or for any other physio need.

Fantastic experience: My father approached Felicity Peach for advice and treatment to resolve persistent neck and shoulder pain. Following a few 'hands-on' sessions supported by a simple exercise regime at home, he has made a remarkable recovery and is now pain free. He thoroughly recommends Brightwell Physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: Felicity was brilliant with my shoulder. She was thorough and caring.

Fantastic experience: Excellent physio. Very thorough and professional. I would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of service that I have received from Brightwell Physiotherapy. The customer service is excellent. More importantly, the level of expertise is extremely impressive and effective. I thoroughly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellent care from Felicity at Brightwell physio. Thorough investigation and treatment of knee issue which is now completely resolved. Many thanks

Fantastic experience: I am very pleased and grateful for the services that Felicity is offering at this cabinet, my daughter ( she is a gymnast) was very well treated, in a very clean and safe space , all social distance measures respected. Thank you very much for your professionalism! You are amazing!

Fantastic experience: I could not recommend this practice enough. They have recently treated me after a bad back incident and they have also treated my daughter who is a gymnast. Felicity is very knowledgeable and will treat you in a confident and calm manner. She will not book extra appointments if she does not think you need them, but will text you instead in a couple of weeks just to make sure you are well.

Fantastic experience: Felicity has been working with our little girl to help with developmental movement issues and has been great. The improvements we've seen in the month's we've been working with Felicity are amazing. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: A thorough and patient initial review was followed by pragmatic targeted exercises and interventions. I felt Felicity really knew her stuff and was able to help me albeit recovery was not quick due to my underlying diabetes. I would have no hesitation in recommending the practice.

Fantastic experience: After an injury to my back which hospitalised me and left me on a zimmer-frame, I can honestly say that Brightwell Physiotherapy got me through one of the lowest points in my life. I could barely walk without being in constant pain and the thought of bending or climbing stairs were just way out of reach for me. Felicity provided me with amazing care, exercises and support throughout my treatment and has got me back to feeling normal again. Although regular visits are now a thing of the past, she still checks in to see how I'm getting on and I know if I need to re visit she understands the care I need. I highly recommend this practice and wouldn't go anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend going here. Felicity is very quick to respond to any questions and gives excellent advice and support when it comes to injury prevention and recovery. She was very thorough and paid attention to detail, explaining very clearly the potential cause for my injury. She was friendly and approachable.
