EXCELLENT Based on 49 reviews Posted on Nono G20/05/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to see Ade mid way through my half marathon training for IT band pain. Ade has been a great addition to my training regime and has really helped me not only manage my symptoms but educate me on how to strengthen my knee to prevent injures from happening in the future and provided excellent advice on improving my running form. Highly recommend to those interested in treatment and understanding the why behind injuries!Posted on Frances Campbell29/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was lucky enough to be able to use the service of Ade at Optimal Motion Physiotherapy. Everything was very professional and treatment was both effective and comfortable. Every effort was made to accommodate the times I needed. I could not be happier with my treatment and would have no hesitation in recommending Ade or using Optimal Motion Physiotherapy in the futurePosted on Luca M29/03/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Extremely professional and knowledgeable, and most importantly got me back to training stronger than before. The rehab plan was clear, effective, and tailored to my needs. Highly recommend!Posted on Jas Ahluwalia25/01/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve seen many physiotherapists over the years for a persistent Achilles issue, but working with Ade has been on a completely different level. From the very first contact, I knew I was in good hands. He took the time to understand my goals, what I wanted to get back to doing, and explained everything clearly and confidently. Ade quickly identified the root of the problem and laid out a structured treatment plan that made sense. Over the course of 4–5 months, the exercises progressed at exactly the right pace, and for the first time in years I was able to run pain‑free. His depth of knowledge—especially in sports science—was a standout difference compared to others I’ve seen. He didn’t just treat the issue; he helped me understand how to adjust my workouts, what movements to avoid, and how to build long‑term resilience. A few months on from finishing treatment, I’m back to running 5km and enjoying activities that would previously have triggered the problem. It’s been genuinely life‑changing. I couldn’t recommend Ade highly enough. If you need physiotherapy support, reach out to him—you’ll be in excellent hands.Posted on david choi25/12/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Helped me loads with my metatarsal injury. Getting back to training now with no pain.Posted on max well28/11/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A friend suggested I come here and I must say you was absolutely brilliant gave me all the information I needed to recover my back injury will definitely recommend to friends and familyPosted on Charlotte Rodda13/10/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came in to see Ade with a persistent achilles tendon issue. I had seen numerous physios prior to this and hadn't really made much progress so I was sceptical on arrival. I was so impressed with how Ade did a detailed assessment and identified strength deficits in other muscles, and then put together a comprehensive exercise programme to rehabilitate me. I'm already recommending him to all my friends and family. Thankyou!!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
