Reading Time: < 1 minute“I was first given Andrew’s name as a recommendation when I was facing surgery on my finger for a ruptured ligament. I wanted to know if there was any way I could avoid surgery. I was told that there isn’t anyone who knows more about the human body than Andrew.
Carole M, Company Director
I contacted Andrew and was impressed that without knowing me at all and no guarantee of any business, he was willing to discuss my situation over the phone at length. I did need the surgery but I also followed it up with a course of physio treatments from Andrew. I now have almost full use of the finger again and the surgeon has been delighted with my progress.
There’s no hesitation on my part in recommending Andrew to anyone in need of physiotherapy”
Reading Time: < 1 minute“Thanks for all your help Andrew you have saved my football career. I was considering giving up playing after previous failed treatment on my patella tendon over 18 months.

Reading Time: < 1 minute“Having such a skilled physiotherapist as Andy to assess and treat my ankle was so reassuring and greatly appreciated! His amazing knowledge and experience of treating injuries, both acute and chronic, combined with great sensitivity of palpation and excellent manual therapy skills make him a sought-after physiotherapist who I would recommend anyone to see. His personalised exercise programme was comprehensive and interesting, and his enthusiasm towards 100% recovery was really helpful in the later stages of my rehabilitation”
Ruth B MCSP, Senior Physiotherapist.
Reading Time: < 1 minute“I have known Andrew as a colleague and friend both in the NHS and in the private sector. Andrew is very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. His main strengths are his honesty, being proactive and seeking the necessary advice to give his client’s the best possible care. His assessments are thorough and robust and treatment plans are tailored to his patients. I have sent many patients to Andrew who have been dissatisfied with their physiotherapist and they return with glowing comments about his manner, knowledge and management plans.
Richard Dias FRCS , Consultant Hand & Upper Limb Surgeon, Honorary Senior Lecturer – University of Birmingham.
Andrew is different as he knows that he is an outstanding physiotherapist and is confident in this knowledge.
It has been a pleasure for me to watch Andrew’s progress, but then again, I did not have the slightest doubt that he would succeed at the highest level.”

Sports Performance
Reading Time: < 1 minuteBack to racing within 14 days of ‘pulling’ my hamstring!Within 24 hours of developing a grade one strain in my hamstring, Andy got me in for a consultation and we got to work straight away.After receiving some hands-on treatment, we discussed how we would adapt my training whilst working on my rehabilitation to get me ready for race day in under two weeks.Andy put together a strength and conditioning plan with isometric exercises to do every day. Over the next 5-7 days I gradually increased the intensity of my training with no setbacks and returned to full training one week later with no restrictions.13-14 days after receiving the injury I was back to racing for my team with an hour crit race Saturday, followed by a 70 mile road race on Sunday.By race day, I didn’t even give it a second thought that I was carrying an injury and unable to walk without limping only a week or two ago.This would not have been achieved without the knowledge and guidance from Andy.Thanks again for everything Andy!Sean Dawson – P.T and Cat 2 Cyclist

Karl Mc – Cannock
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI’ve only been running for a couple of years. Last year and the beginning of this year I started to get pain in my left knee. After going to a talk Andrew gave I went to see him and after a few sessions he helped me with getting to the cause of this and improving my running form.

This has seen me through training for my first full marathon with no issues and a great recovery afterwards, also all of my times have been tumbling taking 10 mins of my half marathon time of last year. I highly recommend him.

Chris Harvey – Cannock & Staffs AC/OCR Competitor
Reading Time: < 1 minuteFirst rate! I have an ongoing knee injury which Andrew is dealing with and his comprehensive rehab plan is working well. He has changed my running form which was pretty awful to say the least (too much overstriding!) to a lighter, higher cadence technique and I find this is helping too.
Jane H – Newcastle AC, Newcastle-under-Lyme
He is also good at reining me in as I have a tendency to overdo the training. A top professional with a friendly, positive approach. I have recommended Andrew to several running friends and will continue to do so.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteAndrew at Active Therapy is easily the best and most knowledgeable physiotherapist I have ever worked with (I have seen 10 throughout the Midlands and Yorkshire). He helped to treat a significant ankle injury which had been misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated by two other physio’s. Not only did the rehabilitation allow me to recover from the injury but also allowed me to develop and improve my technique to become a significantly better runner. Cannot recommend highly enough.
Chris A – Derby
Reading Time: < 1 minuteNot sure I ever got round to thanking you properly Andy for the vast amount of time you dedicated in helping me get back to running……I’m sure I was one of your more frustrating patients and you saw me way too frequently at times (!), yet you continuously provided great advice, treatment, rehab and support when I could well have thrown it all in! Much appreciated and highly recommend.

Jenni Wilson – Chartered Physiotherapist/Ultra runner
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI have seen many physiotherapists over the past few years, I started loosing hope and didn’t seem to be getting anywhere. Andrew has diagnosed the problem straight away, helped treat me, trained me in dealing with my injury, supported me mentally and physically throughout and guided me on what exercise I am able to do. He has given me more confidence and determination that I can still do the activities I want to do. I would defiantly recommend Andrew, if you are willing to put in the work at home and follow his exercise plans you will improve

Reading Time: < 1 minuteDespite being a Physio myself, I found Andy’s knowledge and experience, from working within high level sport extremely beneficial, which helped to enhance my recovery from ankle surgery. Andy is continuing to support with my rehabilitation whilst I am working in New Zealand.
Charlie Norman – Chartered Physiotherapist
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI went to see Andrew through recommendation from a friend who had been using him for some time. I previously had seen a physiotherapist for treatment on my patella tendon for 3 months once a week, and the treatment was in effective. I then went to see Andrew and with a thorough examination and a gym plan my tendon was recovering in the first two weeks, it has now been 2 months and my tendon is pain free and I am able to get back into playing sports. I would recommend Andrew too all my friends and family, He is great as a person and a physiotherapist and really knows what hes doing, the plans and communication throughout the treatment is a major benefit and touch wood I don’t get any more injuries, but if I do Andrew will be the first person I call every time. Thanks Andrew
Prav C – Wolverhampton
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI went to see Andrew on a recommendation from a friend and I can’t thank her enough! Andrew put me on a programme of exercises to help with recurring pain from a micro discectomy op, I only had 3 appointments with him and so far I am still pain free. I will be recommending Active Therapy to anyone who is in need of a physio.. Thank you Andrew, a very professional and friendly service.

Reading Time: < 1 minute“Having previous seen seven (very senior physiotherapists) and 11 other osteopaths and chiropractors in a (failed) attempt to cure a very serious and chronic muscular-skeletal condition, Andy played a key role in helping me to return to work and resume a sporting career.”
Ritch, IT Consultant, extreme sportsman and former county standard athlete.
Reading Time: < 1 minuteI have quite a few years of training/activities-and injuries-under my belt, and I have found Andy to be the most proficient and knowledgeable physiotherapist by far. I sought his help initially whilst waiting for knee surgery in Nottingham ….my previous physios had handed me over to the surgeon, but Andy was adamant that my injury was repairable without the knife and he was right.
Richard J – Nottingham
Three months later under his guidance I was back out running and climbing again, and the operation was cancelled. So Andy was the guy that I tracked down in Cannock when my local sports clinic ‘couldn’t find anything wrong’ even though I could barely walk. Andy was able to assess my condition and provided me with a programme that got to the route cause …again.
So…I would highly recommend Active Therapy
