TALK TO A PHYSIOTHERAPIST

Renata Fitzpatrick

I went to see a podiatrist for a free assessment appointment and the person - Caroline was her name - was thorough, patient, kind, and even wrote a letter to my GP suggesting a blood test. She also sent me exercises to do for my feet, and recommended I see a specialist. She went far beyond my expectations. The receptionist was very nice as well and contacted me before and after the appointment - excellent place to go.

Ruth Bromley

I have had a series of appointments at Active Health with Lucy and it has been a great experience. Not only has my pain gone but the treatment I received from walking in until leaving was really positive with friendly, helpful staff and top physio treatment. Thank you!

My Fabulous Fitness

I have suffered with post-concussion syndrome and whiplash symptoms for a year. I went to see David and he has reduced my symptoms massively within a month and I’m now back to exercising as normal. My neck pain is also gone. Magic

Sandra Campbell

I was extremely happy with my treatment at Active health and will be recommending it to my friends. I was always treated professionally and everyone was very friendly.

Julie McCusker

The team at Active Health are friendly and professional and the Bangor clinic is smart and welcoming. Claire was fantastic at getting to the root of my ongoing shoulder pain and I feel confident that our treatment plan will give me the relief and results I need. I would highly recommend Active Health.

Ralph Richards

I can not recommend the physiotherapy enough. Tom has been superb with me. On my first appointment I could barely walk, after 8 sessions I have a much greater range of movement. Great people, great personalities and truly professional. Thank you all so much. Kindest regards.. Ralph.

Paul Clarke

This was my third time to call upon Active Health’s excellent services over some 10 years and once again I have nothing but praise for all of the staff, whose professionalism is evident in every aspect of the practice. Rachel’s authoritative assessment and Lucy’s skilful treatment with targeted exercises gave great confidence as well as producing significant results, helping me to live more comfortably with arthritis in the neck. If all physiotherapy was like this, waiting lists would be a thing of the past! I would like to have awarded you 4.9 stars had that been possible, my only tiny quibble being that the consulting/treatment rooms have fairly thin walls and so are maybe not as private as they might be. However, I would have no hesitation in recommending Active Health to others (and indeed already have on several occasions) so thank you again.

Deborah Lyness

I have just concluded 8 months of physio with Lucy after a horse riding accident in April 2022 resulted in a fairly serious talus break as well as significant knee damage. With Lucy's expertise and positivity I have progressed from 2 crutches (Sept 22) to one (Nov 22) to none, having been previously told from a completely separate health care source that my progress at Sept 2022 might be as good as it would get! Thank you Lucy, for your, quite literally, life changing work to get me moving - and believing there were and still are gains to be made! Also to the wider team and Charlotte in particular, thank you for such a friendly and highly professional experience.

Paul McCormack
