Was 10 mins late for a 30 mins session. They cut my session to 20mins and still charged me for a full session.

I have used Physiokinetic both times for recovery from Hip Arthroscopy. The team are experts on the recovery required and guided me through the process to full rehab and being able to run safely again. Really friendly team and the ultimate professionals. Also used both locations, George Street is really convenient for city centre workers and the University is obviously top notch facilities following the move to the new sports centre. Not sure why someone felt then need to give 2 stars because they got confused over the locations!

Was a few months ago now but they didnt have the basic courtesy to call back after getting through after many calls regarding physio on my ACL. Surprising considering the the good reviews.

I had physio after my fingers were damaged climbing, the physios were very helpful and informative, since the physio after a riddled past of injuries I've had none in over 8 months! And this is most certainly due to the physios at physio kinetic

I would highly recommend Physiokinetic. My first appointment was in March/April, after suffering an injury while running. I saw Becki who managed my injury which allowed me to complete my races. She has been instrumental in getting me an MRI referral and my referral to the QE Sports Medicine Clinic. Not sure what I would have done without her. She has shown professionalism and empathy throughout which is all you can ask for.

I booked in for six sessions with the team here. They were the obvious choice to deal with my running injury because of their work with the University sports teams.
Im delighted to say that I made the right choice. For the first time, Ive had physio treatment which not only got to the root problem, but also gave me the tools to progress and recover beyond the sessions themselves. Everything exceeded my expectations, from the treatment to the ease of booking and availability of appointments. I hope I dont have a need to go back (!) but if I do, I know I am in good hands.
