I have had several treatment sessions with Liz to help with neural pain, previously diagnosed as Trigeminal Neuralgia. She has given me a series of massages, with occasional use of acupuncture, and has recommended a course of home exercises, which have proved very helpful.

I have been very impressed with her ability to look at the situation from all angles, and to make suggestions as to what other forms of treatment I could try. I would certainly recommend Marple Physio's holistic approach to problems such as mine.

Excellent sports massage from Mary today. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Very thorough and knowledgeable. After struggling with knee pain for several weeks which had led to other leg pain due to walking in a way to compensate, I left feeling as if my legs were once again attached properly and under my control! What a difference. Many thanks to Mary.

Brilliant, I had a problem with my hip which Holli diagnosed and treated. She was extremely professional and knowledgable and the treatment was very effective. The treatment and the exercises were carefully explained. After each appointment the recommended exercises were send via email that included videos which made them easy to follow and complete at home. All of the staff were really friendly and I would unreservedly recommend

These physio-led Pilates classes have been extremely helpful for me. After each session, I notice fewer aches and pains, and I feel my overall strength and balance improving. Nicky is so patient, encouraging, and always willing to explain things clearly. Her positive attitude makes such a difference. I enjoy the classes and I’m glad I joined! Love the bright new studio full of brand new equipment!

I attended a taster session for the new Level 4 Pilates Pro class with Nicki and it was great. I love mat pilates anyway so this additional 30 minute class will be helpful in increasing my strength to add to my existing regular Intermediate class. Challenging and very enjoyable.

The Physio led pilates has been excellent. Starting with the initial one to one induction session to understand the basics, all explained simply and effectively. Moved on to the Gentle Beginners class (now labelled Level 2) where Nicky provides a relaxed and welcoming approach, but encouragement to do as much as possible. From here I was promoted to Intermediate Level 3 after 6 months initially with Liz. This just builds on the work already done, just more variations and a faster pace. Both levels work on a six week programme, slowly advancing and adding more repetitions. At all times participants are assessed and given specific help. The 7th session is a stretch class. Then a new 6 week programme starts, even after 18 months I am coming across new exercises.
The new Studio has allowed an expansion in classes, and the new space helps with mirrors to improve your performance and easier for Nicky, Liz and Holli to help with advice and encouragement. Yesterday I had a taster Level 4 session which is a HiiT/Pilates mix. A great 30 min full on class.
The Physios are always helpful with advice if you have any aches and pains, and can adapt sessions for you. I also do the online class to get an extra weekly fix.
Highly Recommend these Marple Physio classes.

Loving the new studio, the dedicated space with its professional setup has taken classes to a new level. The great teaching by physios is still as encouraging as ever but with improved visibility and comfort. Located in the town centre it's also very convenient for all means of transport. Highly recommended

Christine Coe

1755355656

My experience of the Zoom class with Nicky was great. Silly to say, but I felt I had more space too, the larger mirrors extremely helpful. Here we are starting at week 1 of our new 6 week routine. Nicky gives a lovely smile as she welcomes us into her new studio. Already, she has included something new so I can see we are not going to be allowed to get too accustomed to anything! Her helpful explanations of every move came across with her usual humour interspersed with cheeky metaphors. Also Nicky’s talking via the microphone was much clearer in the new studio. Yes, a good move altogether, thank you

First visit to Marple Physiotherapy. Very friendly and professional.
I received an informed diagnosis and given the necessary routine to sort out my problem. Thanks Carol.

Joanne Lofthouse

From the first contact I received expert advice and reassurance. I had physio pre and post operatively which helped me prepare and recover very quickly. Cath was fantastic and built my confidence. I was discharged early by the orthopaedic consultant as my range of movement was so good. Huge thanks to Cath and Marple Physio.

I had a problem with my neck and shoulder that was causing me a lot of debilitating pain. I booked into Marple Physio with Liz and I have to say that the treatment I received was first class. With Liz’s expert advice, magic hands and wisdom, in just a handful of sessions the pain and problem were no more. Following on from this treatment Liz recommended I try regular back, neck and shoulder massages to help prevent the problem reoccurring. She recommended Maria. Oh my days, Maria’s massages are beyond fantastic! I really look forward to the appointments and can definitely recommend them.
I would without doubt recommend Marple Physio, the service is outstanding. Thank you so much Liz and Maria.

Mark Woodhead

I’m really pleased with the results of my physio sessions with Nicky. I had a pain all the way down the back of my left leg for over a year. It was uncomfortable all the time but when jogging the pain increased and it felt very tight. Plus I had mild pain in my lower back for over 20 years, which I assumed was due to me sitting at a desk all day everyday. I just accepted it over the years and tried to ignore it.
The physio sessions focused on daily exercises and stretches. Over the sessions, more stretches were introduced and we ensured I was doing them all correctly. This was important, as I’d somehow managed to drift from what I’d been shown between the early sessions. Eventually, I nailed it and I now have no pain in my leg or lower back. I’m doing the Marple Parkrun every week and generally feel more relaxed, as I have no background pain.
I wish I’d gone to Marple Physio sooner.
Thanks Nicky.

I've used Marple Physio for several issues relating to back, neck and jaw pain and the team are ace, I've had physio including acupuncture and Liz is fabulously attentive and caring. I've also recently had a sports massage with Hadiya. I went in with pain so distracting I was struggling to stand/walk and left feeling like a massive weight had been lifted and went to a concert and stood up all evening. Highly recommend them!

Ellie Robinson

My son and I have both had physio treatment from Liz, who has been brilliant in helping us quickly improve our symptoms. She has gone out of her way to help us, and is a thoroughly kind and highly knowledgeable professional. Thank you so much!

Alan Whitfield

I have used Marple Physio several times for a variety of musculoskeletal problems. They have always been very accessible, efficient and effective in treating me. They are my first port of call for anything of this kind.

Lara Drake

1712875448

I've had a few sports related injuries over the past few years and have seen both Nicky and Liz at Marple Physio. Both were super knowledgeable, understood the issue, and provided practical advice and exercises to help me quickly get back up and running (literally). I really recommend Marple Physio and have had nothing but good experiences. Thanks so much for all your help!

Paul MOOGAN

1711569053

My 13 year old son was suffering from a lower back issue that was stopping him football training and playing for over 4 weeks and it was really getting him down. A single appointment at Marple physio did the trick. The issue was quickly diagnosed, treated and he was left feeling much better with some exercises that have completed his recovery. I would highly recommend Marple Physio.

I went to Marple Physio during pregnancy as I was having problems with pelvic girdle pain and hypermobility. Before I started, I was struggling to walk up stairs without being in a lot of pain, had disturbed sleep from it and was dreading things getting worse in my final few months of pregnancy.

Over my sessions Nicky gave me exercises that were manageable and safe, but still felt like they were making a big difference to my pain and also building up my strength. Pretty quickly I found my pain easing up and by my final session at 36 weeks, I felt in so much better shape than when I first started!

I’d recommend Nicky to anyone needing support, but especially when pregnant. She was very approachable and really listened to what I needed and what I felt I could do as my pregnancy progressed.

Amy Wood

1709742664

Brilliant service. Helped me so much with my low back pain. Saw a couple of other people at other clinics before working with Liz and she was hands down the best!

Rose-Marie Webster

1706084366

I saw Nicky for pain in my c section scar which was affecting me on a daily basis. She was great at coming up with different treatments (exercises, physical manipulation and a cream) which have improved the pain I was experiencing.

Helen Quinn

1700490275

Liz and colleagues have been treating my son for many years and are fantastic with him. Although his condition will never change keeping him free from discomfort and moving the muscles he can’t use are invaluable to his quality of life. We can’t thank and praise them enough not only for their knowledge but for their care, commitment and respect shown to us all

Ste Waterhouse

1690449605

I went to Marple Physiotherapy with what I assumed was a sore neck, but it turned out to be my shoulder. After many sleepless nights in agony I went to see Liz, who after two visits got me back to normal. Everything from what she did in the practice to the exercises see gave me to do at home is geared up to promote a speedy recovery and her knowledge is incredible.
Can’t recommend them enough.

Andreea Dumitru

1689088791

Excellent input from Liz during my recovery after rather complex knee ligament injury. She provided step-by-step guidance with regards to specific exercises for every stage of the recovery alongside therapeutical ultrasound and massage. Highly recommended

Emily Rowbottom

1683539867

From the get go, I have been really impressed with my treatment at Marple Physio and would recommend it to anyone with back troubles. The initial consultation was so thorough, I left feeling positive that I could improve my chronic pain. I really appreciated that Liz was able to explain the reasoning behind my long term back troubles (over compensation and shortened muscles etc.) She has given me a proactive treatment plan that I never got previously from other establishments and I have seen an improvement in my condition after only a few sessions.

Simon Turner

1681760086

A massive thank you to Liz for getting me to the start line of the Manchester Marathon! Picking up an injury half way through training I feared the worst for the big day, but a swift treatment cycle had me back up and running in a couple of weeks. I had plantar fasciitis which I have heard keep people out for months on end so such a huge thank you for the wonderful care provided to help me back to my feet.

Adam Featherston

1680711070

I self-referred to Liz after an episode of chopping firewood resulted in a bad case of tennis elbow with constant pain and a complete absence of strength in my right arm. The combination of physical therapy over a course of weeks, combined with effective exercises for home, has all but cured it, in a surprisingly short time. In the process of treating my arm, Liz also diagnosed some of my long term back problems and set me on a course to strengthen the right muscles to counter those issues. Great experience and would wholly recommend.

Christopher Lynas

1667544875

Brilliant, extremely knowledgeable and caring. They put me at ease which is very difficult when you have a very painful back. Everything from the therapy provided to the online programme they use to send you exercises is first class.

Kieran Baggott

I had physio on my shoulder with Liz and she is very friendly and an expert at what she does. She was quick to diagnose the issue and give me the appropriate exercises that helped fix the problem. Would definitely recommend.

Mark Bodle

I received fantastic service from Marple Physiotherapy and my physiotherapist Nicky. The causes of my hip injury were investigated and clearly explained, and I was given several recovery exercises to follow. All in all a very rigorous, personable, and tailored experience. Would highly recommend.

I arranged with Nicky for some physio on my father’s shoulder at short notice as my dad was in a lot of pain.He is so happy with the Sevice and effort Nicky gave him today and is very pleased with the results already. Thanks so much for looking after him. He will be returning next week..

Clare Talbot

1587295868

Before lockdown I started treatment with Julie on my C-section scar. I have suffered with pain, aggressively red looking scar which was hypertrophic for a year. After a discussion and 3 sessions with Julie I saw an improvement. We did specific massage, which involved super gentle movement technique, along with an ultrasound treatment. Julie explained exactly how to treat my scar at home so I could continue with the movement technique myself.
The scar is now less aggressive looking and in parts starting to turn skin colour and has more movement all along the scar. Although not 100% pain free just yet, it is a massive improvement.
If you have any scar pain then I highly recommend having a chat with Julie and she can talk you through what treatment is best suited to you.

Jaione Iza

1585385122

I've been to this physio due to aches and pains during my pregnancy and the experience was great. Very helpful and professional. Highly recommended!

Katamari Gemson

1585299335

I really cannot recommend this practice highly enough. After two years of chronic pain, I am finally on the road to recovery, thanks to the help of the physiotherapists at Marple Physio. I also had my first video consultation appointment with Nicky yesterday, something the practice has introduced now face to face appointments are not currently possible. I was unsure how a video consultation would work, but I found it to be extremely useful. I have been experiencing a flare up of symptoms over the last few weeks, and Nicky did a fantastic job of suggesting exercises and movements I could use to help with them. She demonstrated moves, observed how I was moving, and I feel confident I now have some new things to try, to help relieve symptoms. I would definitely recommend a video consultation, to anyone wondering if it might be helpful.

Liz listened, was understanding and new straight away how she was going to help me going forward.
All in all a really nice experience and I look forward to Liz and the rest at Marple Physio in bringing me back to full working order!
