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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I had long term achilles tendinopathy and went ahead with a thorough assessment which confirmed so. We then proceeded with a detailed treatment/recovery plan which i cannot be more appreciative of as i have now made a full recovery and im back playing football with no pain or discomfort whatsoever! 10/10 service and knowledge, would highly recommend!

As someone who trains regularly in the gym, I injured my hamstring and was struggling to get back to training. I came to see Ade and I had a thorough assessment, was given a detailed treatment plan. By sticking to the plan and working with him, my hamstring finally feels back to normal and I can strength train again without any pain or discomfort. Very happy with how it went, I couldn’t recommend him enough!

I was searching for a physiotherapist in the area for some time and found Optimal Motion online. I have been to other physios and had good experiences but being treated by Ade was completely different. He took the time to listen to my the issues in my back and legs, conducted a thorough examination and we created a detailed rehab programme to help with my issues. We haven’t finished treatment yet but things are progressing very well. I would highly recommend Ade to anyone looking for first class care.

I came to see Ade as he is local in the Rickmansworth area, I have some hamstring issues and he pinpointed the exact issue with tests and questions. We did some soft tissue therapy and exercises to help alleviate my pain, and I will be seeing him regularly to manage and fix my issue.
