I had been suffering from cronic achilles tendinopathy in not just one but both of my ankles for over a year before getting in touch with Gavin at GCR. I had tried everything you could think of, acupuncture, physio therapy which I paid privately for and received from the NHS, chinese medicine, I had special boots, compression socks, elevation pillows .. everything you can think of I had. I finally got to a point where I just couldnt bare the pain anymore and decided I was going to pay privately for an operation to stretch my achilles. As I started to research the process I stumbled across shockwave therapy and saw that it was something Gavin done at GCR. I decided it would be the last thing I tried before operating. At my first appointment I was nervous as I didnt no what to expect but Gavin explained everything to me and made me feel at ease. After having my first session of shockwave therapy done tbh I didnt feel any different but Gavin explained to me that was to be expected and not to worry as the effects wouldnt take place until after the 2nd session... and my god did I notice it!!!!!!! Honestly ... I cant express how grateful I am for the services I received from Gavin at GCR. He was extremely professional and actually cared about my recovery which was completely different to what I had previously experienced and I was gutted I didnt go sooner. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I had been suffering from severe sciatic nerve pain in my leg and spondylolisthesis for months, going through unimaginable pain. After tirelessly waiting for my NHS physiotherapy appointment to come through, I found Gavin online and thought of getting in touch. He arranged for an appointment the next day. I am so glad to have found Gcr. Gavin is a thorough professional, very approachable, he really hears you out. He is incredibly knowledgeable and knows his job. After 9 sessions of spinal decompression/accupuncture with him, I can finally walk and now I am getting back to my regular routine - which i had completely lost hopes on. He also suggested on the things I should do for my recovery which is great! This deserves a mention - Gavin was once out of town on a break and I had sprained by back pretty badly. I emailed him and he replied on the things I could do to ease the pain. This speaks a lot about his professionalism and how much he wants his patients to get better. It’s been a fantastic experience - would highly recommend!!!!! Gavin - cannot thank you enough.

I injured one of my muscles in my rotator cuff while doing face pulls, and my own attempts at rehabilitation seemed to make things worse, so on my safe side I decided to see a physical therapist. This was my first time ever seeing a physical therapist so I wasn't sure who to go with, but I am very glad I went with Gavin and his practice. He has a wealth of knowledge (much more than you can find with just some Google searches), and the things he taught me about physical therapy and rehabilitation will last me a lifetime, not just for my rotator cuff injury, but any others down the line. If anything, Gavin doesn't charge enough for what he provides, and he's a lovely person to have a conversation with on top of it all. 10/10, would definitely recommend to anyone worried about any sort of injury and are unsure whether to see someone about it.

I Went to see Gavin for a running injury that I had for over 6 weeks. I Was in a lot of pain walking and was even limping it was that bad. I had to stop running completely. Which I was so upset about. I saw Gavin for only two sessions, and he gave me some exercises to follow using a really easy app for your phone . Followed with some acupuncture and some ultrasound, and light massage. And within a couple of weeks I can walk pain free again. Absolutely over the moon with the whole treatment . Gavin is very professional and I would highly recommend him if your are having any issues. Thank you so much Gavin for your expertise and help to get me out of pain. I've even been able to resume my running again. Brilliant . Thank you Rita

Gavin is excellent! Honest, straight forward and wants the best for his patients -even if it means recommending treatment elsewhere going forward. He only wants the best for you!! From my experience, he explained in detail the depth of my fathers spinal condition, an honest professional opinion on the best action going forward and a recommendation to an Orthopaedic who he felt would best treat his pain. It’s certain Gavin is very passionate and is not here to waste your time or your money - he simply wants what’s best for you. And will not promise you relief if he feels you need more serious urgent care elsewhere. A true gem!! Thank you Gavin, Will be sure to reach out to you again should we be advised to start physiotherapy!!

I was referred to Gavin after multiple ankle injuries left me on crutches for over a year and unable to make any progress. Gavin was incredibly attentive and took the time to really understand the injury and walked me through every step, every procedure and made on the fly tweaks to ensure my treatment plan fit my needs. The difference was felt immediately and afterwards i referred my sister who had been dealing with a chronic shoulder injury for over 20 years - 6 sessions with Gavin and he has restored full mobility with minimal pain. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Gavin's services to pretty much everyone.

Delayed review, but Gavin fixed my arm/shoulder after almost 20 years of pain and limited movement. Effects were seen after 3-4 sessions, which is better than all the NHS physio appointments I've been to. Didn't drag out the sessions, was up front about expectations and left the decision up to me if I wanted more sessions to strengthen the muscles. He fully listened to any updates between sessions and worked on my shoulder as my circumstances changed for better or worse. Changed my life, and no more random shoulder/neck pains! Thanks Gavin, 10/10 recommend!

Gavin is really professional, friendly and informative. Even with the current pandemic situation, Gavin had very clear safety measures in place to make us both feel comfortable. Gavin really invests time to cater the right individual plan and ensure it helps to work towards your personal recovery goals. He was also available to give advice and help with any queries when needed. It was my first time having to see a physiotherapist for post surgery rehab, but really happy with the progress and outcome and would definitely recommend Gavin.

Firstly, have to say what a friendly, knowledgeable and professional person Gavin is. Not a question in relation to my injuries he couldn't give me a thoroughly detailed explanation for. I came to Gavin, with numerous knee and tendon issues in the hope he could get me through this years Edinburgh Marathon. On the back on no training and a lot of pain and the short time of just 5 sessions we had before the race he managed to get me fit and able to finish it. Would absolutely recommend Gavin to anyone. Brilliant.

Incredible service and support from Gavin at GCR! I had a bad accident last year and desperately needed Physio on my back. After scouring the maps for local Physiotherapist I’m so glad I found GCR, although it’s a little further then the local ones I found, I’m so pleased I picked GCR. I’m still having Physio with Gavin but the road to recovery is looking positive. Gavin thank you so much, not only are you qualified in this field, your a gentlemen and very approachable.

Gavin was super helpful and could quickly spot my problem. He clearly explained to me what cause my injury and provide me treatment which did sooth my pain. I am continually doing the exercise that he taught me, my injured part has gone better and improved. I'd definitely recommend people to go to him if you are suffering any issue as he will help you fixing it. The most importantly is the cost is friendly and fair compared with any physios.

Gavin was excellent from start to finish! I first saw him at 26 weeks pregnant with serious back pain. He treated the issue, gave me constant support for all my 100s of questions over the weeks and has given me exercises to go away with so I can stay in health with my back for the rest of the pregnancy. I felt very comfortable with him, he is a brilliant physio and I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Gavin for getting me moving again!

I had 3 options: GP, A&E or Physio. I opted for the latter. I never been Physio in my life so did not know what to expect. I found GCR as it was local and had a perfect set of reviews. I now see why. Gavin was knowledgable, professional and clearly good at what he does. I had pain behind my knee and some joint work done and this helped speed up the recovery process DRAMATICALLY. Thanks alot Gav and all the best mate

I found Gcr online after doing my research and reading the great reviews I decided to book an appointment. I was suffering from bad sciatic nerve pain which was from having herniated disc’s in my back. In just 6 sessions of spinal decompression therapy my pain has gone and my back feels so much better. Gavin is so lovely and welcoming he listens to your issues and makes sure you get the best service. Thank you Gavin

I am glad to say that Gavin was able to help me with my shoulder pain and got me back to playing the sports I love! Gavin did a thorough job of assessing the pain and developed an effective exercise regime to help alleviate it. It's always wonderful to have a positive experience with a healthcare professional, and it's especially great that Gavin was able to help me get back to doing the things I enjoy.

Gavin was exceptional, going above and beyond with his advice and treatment. You can tell he takes pride in and really enjoys his work, which is a real reassurance that you are in the best hands. My short-term injury has healed thanks to Gavin and I am also now equipped with the knowledge and resources to avoid getting such an injury again. I would fully recommend his services to all.

Gavin has been absolutely brilliant!! He is very professional, keeps to appointment times and a variety of treatment options are included in the consultation price. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything well. Appointments are available until late evening which has worked for me over the last few sessions. I would reccomend Gavin to my family and friends.

My physio with Gavin for 6 weeks has been amazing! Every session he gently massages my back with great results. He has provided me with effective stretches to complete at home and checks every week to see my progress. Fantastic and safe set up and will definitely recommend to friends and family. I’ll be going back should I need more sessions in the future.

I came to Gavin for extreme shoulder and neck pain with a past history of cervical neck pain too. Gavin is very professional and friendly and his excellent knowledge and treatment plan made me better with his sessions. I wish I would have found him earlier! I can highly recommend Gavin for physiotherapy sesions. Thank you for everything Gavin!!

Had a weirdest pain in my lower back for a few months. Eventually found Gavin who kindly accommodated me the next day. He is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He found the pain to be joint related and he fixed it straight away. While I hope to not need a physio anytime soon, he is excellent and would happily recommend to anyone

I found Gavin to be exceptionally knowledgeable and professional and he made me feel very comfortable. He got to the bottom of a complex issue quickly and gave me some useful exercises to stop repeat issue reoccurring as frequently. I would definitely recommend GCR Physiotherapy to my friends and family. Thanks Gavin for all your help!

I have been recommended to Gavin by my surgeon after the ACL surgery. Thanks to him, I have recovered very well and I am very happy with what I've achieved. I have also recommended my Dad to him, and he was very pleased with the consultation and the therapy given. Gavin's professionalism and extensive knowledge are truly commendable.

Belated review. I 100% recommend Gcr physiotherapy. After many months of pain from an injury to my foot Gavin's treatment was amazing, after only 2 sessions and doing the given exercises I was able to walk pain free. I am grateful to have been recommended to Gavin who is very professional and friendly. Carol Woodham

I had fantastic experience with Gavin. He is an experienced practitioner. Wealth of knowledge and always open to new ideas as well. I appreciate that very much. Also I didn't feel like he was trying to just keep "booking" me for more money. Rather he himself told me when it was enough. Great fella! Thanks Gavin.

Gavin helped me following knee replacement surgery. He was very professional and encouraging and I am sure that the treatment, exercises and advice that he gave me enabled a much swifter recovery than would otherwise have been the case. He will be my first choice if I need a physiotherapist in the future.

I went to Gavin after I broke the top of my arm and needed help to get full movement back. He really helped me recover and helped with both the movement and pain. He is very knowledgeable and very supportive. I’m glad I went to him for rehab and if I have any other issues then I’ll definitely be back.

Wouldn’t hesitate to use/recommend Gavin in future, he saw me at short notice and massively improved back pain and mobility in the first session, allowing me to stop the prescribed cocktail of pain meds from the GP. By the second session I was well on the way to full mobility and no pain. RECOMMEND!

I can recommend Gavin! I had my visit while 22 weeks pregnant due to my lower back and hips pain. He helped me by massaging and relaxing my back and gave set of exercise to do at home which helped a lot! Surely I will be visiting him again soon as my bump is growing but definitely worth coming!

Gavin really helped me with my sprained ankle which I was unable to walk on for nearly 6 months. After a few sessions with Gavin and sticking to my recommending exercises I’ve seen amazing improvement in just weeks. Super friendly and inviting environment! I would 100% recommend GCR!

Cannot recommend Gavin highly enough! Been having problems with my shoulder for many years, and he figured out the issue and got it sorted after a couple of sessions only! Really knowledgeable, curious and available to answer any question you have. Thanks again for your help Gavin !

Gavin helped me after a DIY injury caused me to lose movement in my foot. Gavin was extremely professional but easy to talk to and after a few sessions I was back to full mobility and able to get back in to walking and running as usual. I would definitely recommend his services

Myself & my son were very happy with Gavin. Gavin was very child friendly, attentive, answered all questions. Nothing was too much effort. He made us feel very welcome. I would definitely be using Gavin if needed, highly recommend. Thank you for getting my son back on track.

After reading the favourable reviews I made an appointment with Gavin. I’ve had 3 appointments now and can’t recommend Gavin highly enough (like everyone else). Such a nice personable man, very informative and knowledgeable, explains everything in detail. Highly recommend

Gavin has a calming way about him, I felt at ease instantly. I went with swollen knee and he explained the workings of the knee to me and then treated the knee. After the first session my knee was less swollen and felt a lot better. I would highly recommend his practice.

I needed treatment on a knee sprain that wasn't healing well and was causing me pain while cycling. After three sessions with Gavin my knee has made great progress. I no longer feel pain and I feel so much more freedom to push to my maximum on the bike. Thank you

Gavin is very knowledgeable and approachable. He encouraged me to go back to absolute basics to help with the recovery of my back issues. Whilst I wanted to be more challenged in my physio exercises, I can now see the benefit of his wisdom. Brilliant !

Totally recommend Gavin. He was very thorough with the treatment he gave. Diagnosed my problem straight away and the exercises given alleviated a lot of the pain within a week. Only needed a few sessions. I would definitely use Gavin again if needed.

I would highly recommend Gavin to my friends and family if they need physio therapy. I had a pain in my shoulder and Gavin managed to see me despite being very busy. He helped me healing and was very informative and super friendly. Thanks again !

After a progressive shoulder injury I contacted GCR fearing I'll have long road to recovery. After speaking to a few other physio's that seemed to be right as well. However after speaking with Gavin at GCR he was refreshingly positive about

Gavin is very professional and organised. After my initial enquiry he responded straight away and booked an appointment. He was very friendly and genuinely cared about what I told him and did his best to help me with my back problem. Gavin

I saw Gavin as he was recommended by my brother. I was really impressed with the app that he uses so I know I’m doing the right stretches. I saw Gavin for 3 lots of shock wave treatment for my tennis elbow. He was honest from the start and

Gavin recently treated me for a trapped nerve and a very painful shoulder. He explained exactly what the problem was and how he was going to treat it. I was given exercises to do on a regular basis and i’m happy to say that it all worked.

Gavin is a very friendly person and a very good professional. After 8 weeks of my ankle sprain I was still limping very badly and my ankle was getting very swollen. I had a physiotherapy from NHS online but It did not help me enough I was

Great experience with Gavin. I'm currently training for a marathon and was having quite severe "runner's knee" issues as my mileage was ramping up. Within one session Gavin was able to diagnose the problem and had me running again in a

Gavin is a great health specialist. He really takes time to listen to you and works on your needs so you can become pain free again. He is very professional, calm, makes you feel comfortable and secure. I highly recommend his clinic.

Gavin has been a real help to my stiff shoulder problem. He is very knowledgeable and has worked hard to tailor the treatment to my specific problem. I have finished my course of treatment having been cured. Worth every penny!

Gavin has an excellent set up. He is very professional and knowledgeable. My ailing hip of 6 months is magically fixed now thanks to Gavin's treatment and prescribed stretches. Thanks so much Gavin. Keeping on cycling

Gavin was really knowledgeable and helpful. His exercise plan was easy to follow and really made a difference, allowing my son to run pain free. Thanks

Gavin was very patient and made you feel at ease. He explained how to do each exercise and it's purpose. Would recommend him to friends and family.

Gavin is a top man only took a few weeks to get my injury solved something that has been affecting for 3/4 months. Highly recommend him.
