What can I say? Fantastic! After suffering from sciatica for months, Brendan’s treatments saw it off and I have never had a recurrence. Subsequent lower back problems since have also been seen off! The best physio I have visited without question!

I can’t speak highly enough BJA physiotherapy.To start with, everyone is really friendly and welcoming. There’s definitely a part of me that will miss my visits as my treatment comes to an end.Grace, my physio, has been amazing.I’ve been to a few physios over the years with my back and Grace is without doubt the most thorough, knowledgeable and professional (and a lovely person to boot!).The program that Grace put together for me has not only resolved the immediate issues with my back, but I’m now in a much better place than I was before this most recent episode.She has taken the time to explain to me where my problems lie and how each element of the program contributes towards improving things longer term.I’ve had issues with my back for almost 20 years now and this is the first time that I feel that I have some measure of control!Thank you Grace and BJA! 😊

I cannot emphasis how impressed I am with the treatment I have received from Brendan and his team. They really do know what they are doing and they provide the very best customer service and back up. They also really do want the treatment they offer to work and dont just want to keep taking your money like many organisations I have been to. I would not hesitate to recommend BJA Physiotherapy.

Absolutely amazing team at BJA Physiotherapy. All the staff are always so lovely and helpful. Big thanks to Grace for always working wonders on me and Michelle who is always so warm and welcoming. Not to mention the rest of the fabulous team. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my much needed physio x

A very professional and thorough service. My daughter was very well looked after and is now pain free.Thank you all. 👏👏👏

Simon Edwards

I had a weakened and painful arm for 2 years. Had steroid injections in my elbow to relieve the pain but nothing made it better, had to give up the gym and curtail the amount of walking I could do as even that was painful! Tried a physiotherapist in town but to no avail. I had resigned myself to having ‘a bad arm’ but then I found Brendan and the team at BJA, three months on & I’m pain free and almost back to normal! I can’t recommend them highly enough, wish I’d found them years ago.

Elliott Walker

15:35 22 Jan 24

Can't recommend enough!Grace treated me, she got to the root of the problem within minutes and gave me a great S&C program to follow. I'd been struggling with my hip for months and within two weeks from visiting her I've been pain free ever since.

Grace was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Effective treatment and clear, practical advice in a pleasant setting. Would definitely return if need be. Thank you!

Following a serious illness my 5 year old daughter was placed under the care of Aideen at BJA so that she was able to recover full mobility in her legs following several months of being unable to stand culminating in surgery to her legs.Aideen was enormously impressive from the first moment we began therapy, showing an incredible level of empathy and knowledge both of what was required for progression and what to safeguard my daughter from during her recovery. The sessions were superb, and the therapy was delivered to an extremely high standard whilst focusing my daughter's mind on the play/game element of each exercise in order to make the sessions both helpful and fun which is imperative for a child. My daughter looked forward to her sessions each time and was genuinely upset when her therapy had been completed as Aideen had made such a positive impression on her.We are hugely impressed and thankful to Aideen and the BJA team for their therapy and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of physiotherapy.RegardsChris Altoft

Massive thanks to Grace and the team at BJA for the physiotherapy and acupuncture I've recieved on my back injury. The treatment I recieved was first class, professional and has helped my recovery significantly.Im now back playing golf and the ongoing help and advise I've been given should hopefully keep me injury free in the future.I highly recommend BJA, the whole journey from start to finish was made easier by the knowledgeable, friendly staff so thank you to everyone.

Brilliant from beginning to end. Pleasent staff, everything explained really well. A pleasant experience as having never been to a physiotherapist before was a little anxious before my visit but was put at ease straight away . Thank you so much , especially to Grace who worked her magic and all with a smile.

Edward Woodhead

A very thorough and comprehensive program of exercises and manipulation after having a full knee replacement. Hannah is always most empathic and positive with her treatment.

Maxine Ellis

16:29 12 Oct 23

I had physiotherapy on my knee and Rob spent time to understand my issue, gave me immediate treatment which instantly relieved a lot of the pain. The exercise given were actually doable and worked to continue easing the pain. After only a second visit and more physio I was nearly pain free. Marvellous practice.

Ian Fillan

16:49 05 Oct 23

BJA offers a variety of treatments and is run on extremely efficient and professional lines. My treatment was very effective. I was especially impressed with the personal knowledge my therapist retained, thus enabling her to stimulate conversation at subsequent visits. I will certainly return if I require further treatment, and have no hesitation in recommending this practice to others.

Thank you to the whole team for being extremely welcoming, and flexible with appointments. I would also like to thank Grace for being patient and supportive, my knee feels so much better after a few sessions with you.I 100% recommend ‘BJA Physiotherapy’ for anyone considering physiotherapy; you will not just leave feeling physically better, but you will also leave with a smile.

Jane Robinson

I have used the services of BJA for many years for both long term and short problems. Recently just before going abroad I had a very painful shoulder. Brendan treated me twice in three days and with support strapping was able to enjoy my break. Treatment is always professional and most effective.

Jenny Bright

06:11 25 Aug 23

I will always highly recommend Brendan & the team at BJA Physiotherapy. Lovely friendly staff & Very professional. Brendan's no-nonsense approach gets results & makes you realise sometimes why these problems occur in the first place. Thank you & keep up the good work & by the way, hope you all enjoyed the cake! Jenny ☺️

Many thanks to Hannah & Grace for sorting out my low back, you have been great

Rachel Watts

10:18 16 Aug 23

I can not thank the team at BJA Physiotherapy enough. I was struggling with acute Achilles Tendinitis and referred for physio. I contacted BJA and they couldn't have been more accommodating. I was told it would be a slow process and I was concerned I wouldn't be fit for my mountain climbing challenge which I had booked in just over 12 months time. Fast forward to July 2023, and after weeks of physio, acupuncture and home exercises, I made my trip and stood on the top of the Roof of Africa, that is Kilimanjaro! I can honestly say that my Achilles did not grumble during the 7 day trek and I put that down entirely to the great work and help I received from BJA. Thank you to the whole team. They will definitely be my first call should I need a physio again!

Greg Brough

19:24 18 Jul 23

A very efficient and well run Physio. All the staff I came into contact were pleasant and super helpful. I went on recommendation from a relative and I would have no reservations in recommending them to anyone who asked. My treatment for bad back pain was effective and explained really well. Follow up exercises were run through before going home and a full explanation of how to do them, specifically for me, were available on a portal. Thank you

Andrew Stewart

15:27 18 Jul 23

I went to BJA Physiotherapy with an extremely painful shoulder joint and I did not know the cause of the pain. The team have been really lovely to deal with and Grace Firth has been exceptional as my physio. They are welcoming, informative and really personable. Through using a very helpful exercise app, deep tissue massage and acupuncture, my shoulder pain is gone and I am back playing sport and going to the gym. I am so thankful to them.

Gary King

08:58 21 Jun 23

Can highly recommend Brendan and the team at BJA Physiotherapy. When I first came to Brendan with back issues I could hardly walk or do anything and was in a lot of pain, he completely transformed this and now I am back doing the things I enjoy. What I like is his no-nonsense approach and the way he explains the reasons for any discomfort and how to overcome it. Even though my main issue has been resolved, I still attend for maintenance, which reminds me, I need to book another appointment!!

Martin Singh

19:12 11 Jun 23

Very professional service from first point of contact with Michelle on email. To being greeted at reception. (Quite possibly the friendliest most engaging receptionist I've ever met)The physio ( Sam I think I'm terrible with names) I spoke to before my appointment who gave me some pre advice. While in the appointment he was very professional knowledgeable and just in general a very nice guy. Gave me massage therapy and follow-up exercises to get me back on the mountains asap.I won't hesitate to use them again top notch service.

Charlotte Brough

12:40 10 Jun 23

Booked an appointment for a pain in my knee after running, was assessed by Grace and told what the problem could be. I was given exercises to do at home and to continue running. The exercises were great, they are working and the pain has gone! Went back for a follow up and given harder exercises. This place is awesome! Grace is lovely, helpful and my little girl loved being in the gym too haha thank you Grace!!

Sarah Helliwell

I was really impressed with the efficient and friendly service provided by BJA Physiotherapy. The treatment given sorted out my muscular problem pretty much immediately. Highly recommended.

17:45 27 Apr 23

Can’t speak highly enough of the team at BJA. It’s incredibly reassuring to have them there for those niggles and not so niggle injuries. Professional throughout from the booking, payment and communication process and, of course, the level of physio care. Strength in depth from this excellent young team, and Brendan😉.

james Armitage

11:43 22 Apr 23

I was so impressed with how easy and simple it was to book an appointment, along with the confirmation prior to the appointment. The session with Olivia was really beneficial, as I felt she understood the problem with my knee straight away. The physio was so helpful and Olivia was really good at explaining the 'why' with my questions. I followed the exercises given to me and the following session I saw and felt a noticeable improvement. I would highly recommend BJA Physiotherapy as long as you stick to the exercises.

Joe McAreavey

20:52 17 Apr 23

Brendan and the team are superb. I have used them frequently in the past and still do to this day. They are always welcoming. They take the appropriate time to assess/understand the issue and diagnosis, to then facilitate a course of rehabilitation, treatment and management to enable a successful outcome of getting better and staying in good physical health. I have no hesitation in recommending BJA Physiotherapy.

Robert Lockwood

14:00 16 Mar 23

Absolute first class care and treatment from Brendan and also an extremely professional and welcoming approach from all of his team.I have been to many physiotherapists over the years, but BJA Physiotherapy are the best by far.Brendan personally provided successful treatment and support following a knee operation and subsequently further treatment for other consequential niggles and issues.All in all, I can not recommend BJA Physiotherapy highly enough.

Chris Lawrence

12:16 23 Feb 23

BJA Physiotherapy is excellent. The physio I saw was very professional, she took time to take a detailed history before starting treatment. All the staff at the clinic were very kind and friendly, which made me feel at ease. I would certainly have no hesitation in going back to them if I needed to.

Helen Cheesbrough

13:17 10 Dec 22

Jack was very thorough and explained everything in great detail. He reassured me that I would be able to do my long haul flight! I would definitely recommend Jack.

Olivia, Sam, Brendan have been creative and persistent with my restricted neck issue and along with Michelle and the rest of the team have solved the problem and restored me to my former self. Over the 15 sessions it has been a fluent and continuous process with zero loss of care (due to staff holidays, etc.) going from Olivia (initial 5 sessions) to Sam (4) and then onto Brendan (1) and then back to Olivia for the 5 sessions.I’ve had acupuncture with heat therapy and manipulative massage during most sessions and whilst I didn’t know what the problem was - they all certainly did.I have also had several focussed video exercises to do and evolving exercises throughout and these will help improve my posture and deal with any similar future issues.Thanks for solving a mysterious issue. More appreciated than I can say here. I’m also sitting, working and sleeping better and would highly recommend BJA Physiotherapy.Mark(A paying customer)

William Stokes

Over the last couple of years I have been a client here, for various issues. I have in that time seen several staff and all of them have been really great; supportive, encouraging and totally professional. I have recommended several friends and family members and they too have been highly satisfied. The practice is extremly well run and a pleasure to visit.

PHYSIOTHERAPY CLINIC BASED IN SHELLEY

Unsure of what physiotherapy is? Or an experienced patient? Read on for further information and if you’ve any queries at all just get in touch for no obligation advice to answer any questions you have.

According to the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy encompasses any activity addressing human movement, performance, prevention of injury and restoration of function in the widest of health and wellbeing contexts, while using appropriate professional judgment and decision making skills.

Back pain and sciatica treatments

Back pain and sciatica are some of the most commonly seen conditions in our clinic. Back pain is not something you should just put up with. Let us help you.

Sports injuries - for the fit and some not quite so fit

Treatments of massage, manipulation, exercise prescription, acupuncture, taping and electrotherapy are all used as appropriate for your problem.

Neck pain and whiplash problems

Symptoms of stiffness, muscular tightness and pain in the upper back and neck region are commonly ignored until they escalate to headaches, problems with concentration and sleep disturbance.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a form of treatment that promotes healing. It involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points of the body.

Soft tissue injuries – sprains, strains and muscle pulls

Soft tissue injury can range from a mild sprain to full muscle rupture or joint dislocation. In the early stages an accurate assessment can often help prevent problems further along in time.

Rehabilitation following fractures, major surgery and joint replacements

We are highly experienced in managing the rehabilitation for patients needing surgery, and that includes pre-operative care as well as post-operative.

Joint problems and arthritis

With expert assessment, treatment and good teamwork between patient, physio and at times family members or other health care professionals we can help with limiting the impact of these problems on your life.

Chronic pain, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia

In our experience at BJA chronic pain symptoms have a considerable impact on quality of life, resulting in significant suffering and disability.
Let us help you.

Headaches and migraine treatments

The triggers for headaches and migraines may remain but through correct treatment to address the causes or symptoms, the impact on your quality of life can be reduced enormously.

Sports massage, fascial release, soft tissue manipulation, deep tissue work

We regularly give exercise programmes and postural advice, all very effective, however we also find with hands-on treatments, being pushed, pulled, tweaked, mobilised, your homework has greater benefit.

Women's health

Our Women’s Health service has been designed and created to help women of all ages navigate the common problems that occur throughout their life – this could be pelvic health, menopause, pregnancy and post natal physiotherapy..
