What My Patients Say
Posted on Google Jill JeffsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first sought help from Ellie Physiotherapy in Didsbury for Neck pain and Shoulder pain a year ago. By the end of the first session the intense pain was easing and following a course of treatment with massage, infra red and electrotherapy, combined with a gentle exercise programme, I am now pain free. I returned to Ellie earlier this year with Lower Back pain. She is working her magic again and combined with her Pilates sessions I am feeling so much stronger and better able to avoid further injury. I would highly recommend Ellie Physiotherapy in Didsbury.Posted on Google Bruno RitoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a few sessions with Ellie after getting the biggest back blockage and terrible pain I've ever had in my life, I was astonished by how fast she arranged to see me and the results I got from each sessions. After 4 visits my blockage was history , thanks Ellie!Posted on Google Shireen FelicityTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ellieโs help has been central to my recovery! When I twisted my ankle in December, I had to stop doing all of the activities I enjoyed such as walking, running and hiking. I googled some stretches to do but found there wasnโt much improvement in 3-4 weeks, and I thought I might have to cancel some holidays I have coming up this year. In my first session with Ellie, she took time to really talk to me and get an understanding of my pain, explaining how my injury had affected the different parts of my ankle, and managing my expectations regarding my immediate and long term recovery which was more helpful than just googling my symptoms. Ellieโs guidance on how to gently build up my strength through targeted exercises that I could do between sessions, as well as physical therapies like massages and ultrasound treatment (which is amazing!) have made my ankle feel just like it did before! Her clinic is well situated in Didsbury, being easy to access by bus, tram or car, and she is so kind and caring, really supporting me through my recovery, both physically, but also mentally understanding how to tailor my return to my usual activities to avoid reinjury. I couldnโt recommend her enough.Posted on Google Francesca BryanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just want to say a HUGE thank you to Ellie for helping to sort my sciatic and arm strain problems. On a personal level, Ellie is such a lovely and thoughtful person who showed she was genuinely interested in me by taking the time to talk things through with me and show me what I needed to do to improve things. Each of my 3 visits showed me what a caring, intelligent, and truly wonderful person. On a professional level, Ellie knows her stuff and with her guidance and treatment suggestions, I feel I am well on the way to recovery and given that I was struggling to exercise, walk and sleep due to the pain the progress made has been amazing. I have a further and last visit soon and although I am supremely happy with the outcome, I will miss my appointments with Ellie. However at least I now know where to go on anything Physiotherapy related and won't hesitate to contact Ellie as and when that happens. Thank you Ellie. You are an angel!Posted on Google Ash HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ellie is the best! I came in with IT band pain and couldnโt get up after sitting down, she worked her magic and it vanished in 2 sessions! No more pain! She is so caring and I actually look forward to coming back! Such a calming environment! She gives great exercises so I can be practise at home too!Posted on Google David BeckettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend Ellie Physiotherapy & Wellness highly enough. I came to Ellie with persistent lower back pain caused by a herniated disc that was aggravating my sciatic nerve. From the very first session, Ellie took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, explain what was going on in a way I could actually understand, and map out a tailored treatment strategy that made all the difference. The therapies she used on site were incredibly effective โ a mix of hands-on treatment and guided exercises that targeted the source of the problem rather than just masking the symptoms. She also provided clear, practical advice on how to manage and improve my condition between sessions, which really helped me take control of my recovery. What sets Ellie apart is not just her clinical expertise but her fantastic interpersonal skills. She has a warm, approachable manner and genuinely cares about her clientsโ wellbeing. She remembered details from our previous sessions, always followed up on how I was doing, and created an environment where I felt listened to and supported. Thanks to Ellie, Iโm finally seeing real progress with my back and feel more confident in managing my physical health long term. If you're struggling with pain or injury, don't hesitate to get in touch with her โ she's outstanding.Posted on Google FahidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
