 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ade is brilliant. I had a severe lower back issue that needed real attention. Ade was very thorough in his evaluation, listened, built up recovery plan, and after a number of sessions I am now almost fully recovered. He is very knowledgeable, doesn't rush you through and flexible in arranging appointments. Highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thanks to Ade’s professional advice, I recovered from my abductor muscle tear much faster than I expected. His guidance was clear and effective, and I’m very grateful for his help. I highly recommend Ade for his expertise and care.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was my first time seeing a physiotherapist, so I wasn’t really sure what to expect. In the past, I’ve always tried to manage any pain myself, but this time I was dealing with both significant knee pain and lower back pain at the same time.
Ade was incredibly thorough and took the time to listen carefully to all my concerns. He explained the likely source of my back pain in a way that I could understand and then carefully talked me through the exercises I needed to do.
At each follow-up appointment, we gradually built on the exercises, and the improvement was amazing. I eventually got to the point where I could hardly feel any discomfort at all — the exercises really did work!
Seeing Ade genuinely exceeded my expectations. I was so impressed with his approach that I’ve even recommended him to my sister.
I would highly recommend Ade and Optimal Motion Physio to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thorough and caring physiotherapist.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lingering neck and shoulder discomfort suddenly got worse, with pain levels impacting day to day activities and sleeping. I attended a few sessions with Ade who diagnosed the issue and gave me exercises to remedy. Now pain free.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ade was a knowledgable and attentive physio, who helped me with improving my persistent knee pain. He is particularly good at ensuring that recovery can take place alongside fitness / training goals.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to see Ade after I had some calf pain that was affecting my running schedule. His assessment was spot on and he put a clear recovery plan in place for me, that helped to manage and rehabilitate my symptoms.

Good news, I was able to recover properly and get back to my overall fitness. I am pleased with his expertise and would recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to the physio at Optimal and it was an amazing experience. I had a very thorough assessment, examination and we jointly created an exercise programme which became progressively more challenging and I returned back to full function. I would highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was looked after Ade. Top physio and highly recommend. I was playing step football and had repeated groin tears. He instituted a program to help strengthen, lengthen and repair the muscle. Had no problems since when changing pace.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went to optimal motion initially a few months back. Saw Ade there who completed a detailed assessment of my ankle after an injury at football. After both treatment at optimal and following a specific rehab programme (given by Ade), my ankle is feeling great. Now I'm back playing football regularly. Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been seeing Ade for around three months for flexion-related back pain and a neck issue. The advice exercises he gave me resolved both problems and allowed me to continue weight training safely rather than having to stop completely.

I’ve since seen him for posterior tibial tendinopathy from running, which he addressed before it became a bigger issue. He has also given me exercises to strengthen my feet and reduce the risk of future injuries. Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful throughout.
