My first experience with Physica Health has been excellent. After suffering a herniated disc in my back I looked around at the options available and quickly realised they are one of the best in the area. Their facilities are well equipped and the physios are very knowledgeable - especially if you are looking for sports physio like I am. After receiving multiple treatments, I'm already showing positive signs of recovery and looking forward to continuing on the path to getting stable again. Thanks for your support!

Sam Ford

Highly recommended for professional & expert physio with a compassionate and friendly touch.

Damien recently got me back playing Rugby after suffering a Hamstring tear. With 2 games under the belt since returning from injury and feeling stronger than ever I'm extremely grateful to Damien for his help. Right from my first assessment he was very clear when outlining my path to recovery including setting realistic, tangible goals I would need to achieve before advancing to the next stages of my recovery. He was a pleasure to deal with and while I hope I won't have to see him again anytime soon I know I'll be in good hands if I do.

I visited the Physica Health Cliinic with a very painful groin issue. Damien was able to hit the sweet spot quickly and provided me with some exercises which have proved invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend this clinic as i found Damien to be professional, efficient and very understanding of my issue.

Would highly recommend Physica Health. Vanesha is a true professional. She really listens to you to understand your health problems and as she wants to help her clients. Worth every penny I've spent seeing her. Very knowledgeable and has helped me greatly. The clinic is modern and clean.

Physica Health is an outstanding physiotherapy practice in Surrey. Following a total knee replacement operation, I have been having the necessary follow-up physiotherapy treatment with Vanesha and Damien at their Bagshot clinic. Both Vanesha and Damien are highly knowledgeable and caring professionals with great communication skills; very easy to talk to and the explanation of treatment and their purpose is given in a clear and easily understood manner. Their studio is very up-to-date with modern equipment as well as individual consulting rooms. I believe I have made excellent progress in my knee rehabilitation as a result of the expert care and advice received at the clinic. My programme, tailored to my specific needs, includes strengthening and flexibility exercises and movements to increase my range of motion as well as manual therapy and appropriate pain management advice. I have complete trust and confidence in them, based on my experience, and would recommend them wholeheartedly to provide the right physiotherapy treatment for any client.

I went to see Damien for some help with a badly worn hip prior to total hip replacement surgery. He was extremely helpful and tailored an exercise programme for me to help maintain strength and flexibility around the joint to put put me in as good a position as possible for my post-op rehab. I was delighted with the friendly and expert help I was given, and will be returning post-op to help get me back on the golf course!!
