I had come to accept that surgery was likely the next step to address my hip pain and reduced mobility, but Chris at Motum has been great. I now have a clear understanding of the underlying joint issue, the pain has reduced and I understand the steps I need to take going forward to manage my condition effectively.
About five weeks ago, after running a half marathon, I picked up Achilles tendinopathy in my left Achilles. It was really swollen and painful, and had this sticky, pulling sensation every time I tried to move. I could hardly walk without getting sharp pains after trying to exercise again. A friend recommended Motum so I decided to give it a try. From the first appointment, Rob was reassuring and really clear about what was going on. The mix of shockwave therapy, hands on treatment, and the simple exercises he gave me to do at home have really made a difference. The swelling has settled and the sticky feeling has eased a lot. My movement is almost back to normal and we’re now working on building the strength back up so I can gradually get back into to running. If you’re dealing with an injury and want proper support from someone who listens and explains things well, I’d definitely recommend Motum and Rob!
I’ve worked with a few physios in the past, but Chris really stands out. When a previous physio told me to just rest, I got a second opinion from Motum and I’m so glad I did. His hands-on, progressive approach reduced my recovery time from several months of rest to just 6–8 weeks of structured rehab before I was back to normal activity. Since then, I’ve gone back to Chris for various niggles and never hesitate to book in. I am active in the gym and play sport most days, so getting back to my routine quickly and safely was really important to me. If you’re in doubt, I highly recommend Motum.
I contacted Dan at Motum Health & Wellness to assess an injury I’d picked up and in the space of just a few sessions he’d diagnosed the issue, treated it and even put in place an after care plan to help make sure the injury doesn’t reoccur.
Top quality work and couldn’t be more happy to be back playing pain free. Thank you Dan.
A huge thanks to Rob@Motum. Made an appointment as my hips were really painful. Was at the point of thinking I would need a new hip.
Following a thorough assessment and a programme of work which involved strengthening, stretching and mobility exercises, I’m now back at the gym feeling confident and reassured after my sessions with Rob@Motum.
Would highly recommend.
After months of struggling with a sore hip, unable to cross my leg and causing sleepless nights And affecting my ability to cycle. My first act of dealing with it was yoga, which allowed a lot of movement and took a bit of the pain away, however I then bit the bullet and took professional help. Chris was an absolute delight to work with and identified the issue as a cam infringement and over the next 6 sessions gave me my quality of life back. I’m back cycling and for the first time in months I can feel power through both legs rather than just one and increased performance in my output. The biggest regret I’ve had is not going to see Chris earlier and will not hesitate in returning to ensure all the hard work and effort is maintained
Just like to thank Chris for sorting a prompt appointment to sort the wife's back last Monday after hurting it Friday at the gym. Going from hardly being able to move over the weekend and in a lot pain to saying she "feels like a new woman" after her physio session with Dan. Back in the gym on following Friday for a light workout. Thanks again both would definitely recommend.
Absolutely fantastic physio. Immediately knew the problem and set to, Chris was very professional in his knowledge and in practice. Many thanks motum. 100%recommend them

Will have another treatment before the wedding but am so pleased as I will be able to wear my wedding shoes now!!! Would highly recommend .

The feedback about the shock wave treatment here at Motum has been fantastic so we are glad to hear you were pleased with the treatment too. We are looking forward to having you back. So glad to are able to wear your shoes and enjoy your daughters wedding.
I first saw Rob @ Motum last year for some rehab work to an old sports injury. Rob's knowledge and treatment has worked wonders and I continue with regular sessions to improve other areas. I would highly recommend.

We appreciate your feedback. Glad to hear you are pleased with the treatment and rehab you received. We are so pleased you are continuing with regular sessions here at Motum.
I saw Rob at Motum for a longstanding injury that wouldn’t heal. Rob was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He was very supportive and gave me a great treatment plan that has fixed the issue. The treatment was very comprehensive and Rob clearly explained the process and gave me great rehab exercises and training plan for recovery. I would highly recommend seeing Rob if you need any treatment and would definitely use him again in the future.

I had the pleasure of seeing Rob yesterday, and I can’t thank him enough for his help. Despite it being a last-minute appointment, he was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. He really took the time to understand my neck pain and provided effective relief. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his clients’ well-being. Highly recommend!
