I had the pleasure of visiting St Giles Physiotherapy in Northampton and was genuinely impressed by the quality of care, professionalism and atmosphere.

As many of you know, I specialise purely in children's physiotherapy. However, I am regularly asked whether I treat adults. While my clinical focus will always remain with children, it is important to me that families I work with have somewhere trusted to go.

After visiting St Giles Physiotherapy, meeting the team and seeing how they assess and treat, I would feel completely confident referring any adult seeking physiotherapy support. Their approach is thorough, evidence based and tailored to the individual.

It is reassuring to know that when parents, grandparents or carers need support with injuries, post operative rehab or persistent pain, I can point them in the direction of a clinic that aligns with high professional standards.

Thank you for using us and glad we managed to help you with your injuries along the way. We recommend your services to all our clients dealing with feet problems or simply just maintaining and taking care of their feet.

Quick pause to say a huge thank you to the amazing team at St Giles Physiotherapy for helping me recover my shoulder and elbow.

After a few months of sessions, I can finally say my shoulder is back to work and my elbow feels normal again. Their knowledge, care, and support made such a difference. Thanks to their treatment, I was able to continue treating all of my patients and didn’t have to take time off work.

They’ve also helped me in the past with my knee and sciatica, and every time the results have been incredible.

If you’re struggling with pain or any injury, I highly recommend them. I’m truly grateful to have their support whenever I need it.

They also have a special offer available now — if you’d like to use it, please see the information below.St Giles Physiotherapy
