I have always used Ann as a physio on a regular basis for general maintenance and for specific should an injury occur. I have been lifting weights for over 20 years now. Ann is always on hand to keep me fit and mobile to continue on with my weightlifting. Thank you Ann

I made an appointment to see Ann after being advised by a doctor to see a physio. I had been having bad pains in my side/lower back for a couple of months. Ann is a lovely lady who makes you feel very welcome. After giving me an examination she advised me of some exercises I could do to build up my core strength. After a few sessions with ann my pain has disappeared. She has given me a range of exercises to continue to build up my core strength, and is always available to answer any questions you may have. Would highly recommend Anne to anyone in need of a physio

I was suffering with my back, contacted Ann and managed to get a same day appointment. She was friendly, professional and knowledgeable and put me at ease immediately. My back was much improved after the session and the recovery plan (with exercises) were sent through very quickly.

I was recommended to Ann via a friend. Absolutely brilliant service, professional and very knowledgeable. Ann comes across that she cares and works alongside you to solve the problem. Might find another problem just to keep visiting.

I have found Ann to be professional, empathetic and most importantly, knowledgeable. At the first consultation, she was able to pinpoint the area which was causing the pain. She provided a sensible, manageable and clear recovery plan. Since the first consultation, I no longer feel any pain, and now I am working through stretching and strengthening so that the injury does not recur.

Had some shoulder pain and Ann was very fast at booking me in to be seen. Initial consultation was very thorough and left with a treatment plan and some immediate treatments to begin with. Very friendly and straight talking therapist and I would happily recommend her services to anybody.

I found Ann after moving to the area back in Sept/Oct of last year. I have a slipped disc that I like to keep at bay but sometimes flares up, along with other niggles from exercise etc…. Ann has been fantastic with progression on core exercises to support the health of my back, soft tissue massages to help with niggles, and even a little bit of therapy when I’ve had a bad day ;-). I couldn’t recommend Ann more, she is professional, very knowledgeable and experienced, but also incredibly kind and makes you feel so welcome and at ease in her presence.

Ann is a highly experienced and professional physiotherapist. She guided, encouraged, and treated my son who was suffering from the effects of hyper mobility and conversely lack of flexibility. Ann administered massage and supplied visual learning exercises and taught my son physical exercises required.

He learned core strength exercises and in other areas flexibility exercises enabling him to be free of pain.

Ann Gardner Physiotherapy and Acupuncture, ~I went to Ann as I was suffering terrible back pain and a big problem with my left arm and shoulder, with a restriction of movement which even made it very difficult to put my shirts on. 

Ann expertly diagnosed all the problems, and set out a course of exercises to help me ,together with some  acupuncture sessions. I must admit I was very sceptical ,and doubted it would really help. How wrong I was to doubt, my arm and shoulder are back to normal ,and my back pain almost disappeared. I cannot recommend Ann enough ,she is an expert in her  profession, operating in a warm comfortable treatment room ,and a lovely  lady too.

Geoff T , Nov 2023

Ann was very friendly and professional. She was ready for my aunt on time. Her premises are clean. She did a thorough assessment, was great at explaining all the exercises she gave and was good at giving some manual therapy. Her prices are very affordable and fair. Very happy and will be going back for follow up.

 Anne has been seeing my 12year old after a football injury. He is just about match fit again thanks to Anne. He has really benefited from Anne’s expertise, she set an exercise programme to strengthen and hopefully prevent future injuries.

 Thank you 

Grace L, Aug 2023

. For almost 2 years I’ve been having issues with knee and other parts of my leg after a quad injury. Finally decided on getting Physio and found Ann online. Easy to book in, very informative during the sessions and instantly improved my pain within a few weeks of my first session!

George M, Aug 2023

Kind friendly lady. Knows her stuff. No rush. Very understanding. Very helpful. Very clean relaxing room. Good explanations. Very useful/helpful exercises. Very true.  

Stella H , 3rd Aug 2023

  Easy to park right next to location. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Clearly spoken (mask PPE does not hinder being able to hear each other). 

Sticks to appointment times rigidly which I really like. No waiting around. 

Provides you with exercises and simple treatments that you can keep-up with at home. 

Follows-up verbal instructions during the appointment with written instructions after the appointment. 

Upfront price list. You know what you will be charged before you go.

Room freshly prepared and spotlessly clean. 

Good sized and comfortably private treatment room. 

Ann actively listens and carefully takes her time assessing and discussing progress making me feel that I am part of the solution focused physio. 

Ann doesn’t just focus on treating symptoms but considers what might be causing the actual problem.  

I went to see Ann with a painful heel and Ann noticed weakness in my pelvis stability. I left with exercises to stretch my painfully sore Achilles’ tendon and more importantly exercises to strengthen my core. 

It is reassuring going to see Ann because when there are niggles or set backs she asks you what you have been doing until she can pin point what might be aggravating your injury and slowing recovery. 

Ann likes to receive any relevant updates during the week meaning that we fully utilise appointment time.

I can recommend Ann because she puts me at ease and is not pushy - if an exercise is too difficult/painful she will suggest another alternative.

If you have a niggle or a pain then just pop to see Ann - she will get you sorted.

Ann has been instrumental in supporting my recovery and always giving hope that things will improve. Ann brings this positivity and clinical expertise to every session and I can't recommend her highly enough. 

David M, 2.8.23

The physio I received from Ann was excellent. She was very informative about my knee problems and has really got my leg moving. I would thoroughly recommend her services.

Andy F, July 2023

I came to Ann with osteoarthritis in my left knee..Ann shown me exercises to do...and when I returned 4 weeks later she had noticed improvements...I went away with different exercises to do and I am gradually walking better...I will always have arthritis but with these exercises I am keeping my muscles strong to protect my knee...Thanks Ann...definitely recommend her...

Cheryl A , May 2023

I found Ann to be professional,considerate and caring. With thorough questioning and examination she quickly found the problem. After going through the exercises needed assured me she would forward me a plan to follow. After just over a week of following this plan I can feel a marked improvement. Thank you Ann. Would highly recommend.

Elaine p , May 2023

A brilliant physio. I found Ann online after struggling with lower back pain for many months. She came across as extremely knowledgeable and experienced instantly, which was very reassuring. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Ann’s services to anyone.

Santino F  March 2023

Following a visit to my GP who assured me that arthritis was the problem for which there is no cure I was advised to see Ann. Whilst it is still early days her explanation of the issue and exercise routine is helping in easing the pain and giving improved movement in my ankle. Thankyou

David W  March 2023

I was suffering from an extremely painful neck condition and selected Ann due to her flexible appointment options. She was professional, thorough and knowledgeable. Potential problems were diagnosed including posture, stress and lack of appropriate exercise and Ann offered structured solutions that provided me with confidence that the issue could be resolved. Despite being on hospital prescribed painkillers for over a week I had seen no easing of my symptoms but after a physiotherapy session and interestingly on the following week a first trial of acupuncture I saw a marked improvement within a couple of days. Progress continued steadily and Ann was very understanding when I cancelled my no longer needed next appointment.

 Jim c  March 2023

After just two visits to Ann my problems were solved, and - just as importantly - explained to me. After months of my receiving disappointing treatment and conflicting opinions from medical professionals elsewhere, Ann provided me an excellent and sympathetic understanding and friendly hands-on service. Thoroughly recommended!

John N  March 2023 

Ann has treated me for my fractured wrist injury. She set me a rehab plan & during treatment she was patient & helpful. 

Thankyou Ann

Sheena P, Feb 2023

Ann is professional and good at what she does. She made me comfortable through out the session with my knee problem. I will recommend her to anyone who needs physio definitely

Tara K feb 2023 

When I first met Ann I wasn’t sure what to expect but she made me feel at ease once we started talking. We went through a thorough discussion about what I expected from our meetings and what she could do for me. After each session Ann would send a video link so you could save it and remember what you did. Although I only had a few sessions I felt better but with following the video links I started to feel good.

donna l Feb. 2023 

I have been seeing Ann for only a short time but definitely feel the benefit already with all the exercises she given me

Michael H Feb. 2023

After reading the reviews for Ann. I felt completely confident that she would be able to help me with my injured shoulder. At my first appointment Ann was very professional and made me feel at ease. She was thorough in finding out my condition and immediately gave me treatment and exercises that would help alleviate the pain and give me more mobility. Over the course of my treatment, I have seen a great improvement in my condition. I am truly thankful that I made that initial booking. I would recommend Ann to everyone. She is very knowledgeable and caring and I can’t thank her enough for the help she’s given me. 

Chris C , Kettering Feb 

After suffering with neck and shoulder pain for years I finally found Ann with the exercises and advice she gave me I am so much better in and mostly free from pain. Ann has just the right balance of patience and professionalism and a willingness to listen. Would I recommend Ann ? Unreservedly!! 

Wendy B ,Feb 2023

 I just had to write a review on Ann, my physiotherapist .she has been a true godsend to myself and my partner . My partner with a back pain problem , and myself with a foot alignment broken in 3 places .

My partner's back pain problem has been helped with the sport massages Ann offers , and this has been beneficial to him. 

Myself with my foot , she has shown me to rethink my walking ability with exercises ,and stretches ,which I have found very helpful ,and getting me mobile again and pushing me forward. Anne is professional, kind ,helpful ,and patient ,a good listener and she will give you a plan to work you forward .Would I recommend Ann ?,Yes. she has aided my recovery and made my life so much easier. 

Ivwould recommend Ann to my family and friends, and I will still be using Ann as my physiotherapist to my aid ongoing recovery

 🙂 LR, Kettering Feb 2023

Excellent physio. Thanks to Ann my back is the strongest it has been in 3 years.

Went to Ann for help with a painful long term lower back issue, having worked with many physios over the years and seen little improvement. She was able to identify the source of the problem and thanks to her rehab exercise plans I am now almost pain free!

Ryan K, Nov 2022

After eventually getting GP appointment (3 months) for a debilitating pain in my legs, which had stopped me running or doing a wide range of exercise. I also had to walk upstairs grabbing my thigh and walking sideways as the pain was unreal, step by step- no more two at a time.

I was on the verge of calling time in my daily exercise routine and 3 weekly bootcamp sessions. Paul Berry, friend and PT said that I needed to listen to him and go to visit Ann. I didn’t understand that ‘why would it be any different, shouldn’t my GP have picked up the need for physio, he had only given me medication?’

So I booked in with Ann. Wary of what to expect I couldn’t have been more astounded. Ann professionally had a long chat with me and noted my history before seeing where the physical problems lay. She could see where I struggled and developed an individual plan for me to follow and I booked again for a follow up 3 weeks later.

I began the programme straight away and knew it had to be doing something as it was pretty uncomfortable. But the results were amazing within days. I could walk up stairs without too much discomfort, I could squat, box jump etc. I still had discomfort- especially after a workout- but I stuck to the routine Ann had tailored to me and I kept improving.

On the second session with Ann she stepped up the programme and I am still following this daily. Slower progress, but still progress. I am not running any distance yet, but can do pain free shuttles.

I would advise anyone who is in pain or discomfort who has had no joy elsewhere, who does not want to mask it with drugs, visit Ann, she literally can change your outlook on futures.

Bill C ,Nov 2022

Ann immediately put me at ease & took her time to listen to my spinal operations how they impact on me day to day and what my long term goal was - core strength & overall fitness & bike riding. Ann gives clear ,easy to follow instructions & really helped me feel positive & able to achieve my goals , her follow up emails are great with clear instructions for me to be able to complete daily the exercise programs she has set. I am really enjoying physio & exercises again all thanks to Ann

Laurajane B,  Oct 2022

Absolutely helpful and professional advice which has supported my recovery.

Sharon B ,Oct 2022 

Following a dislocated knee from swimming Ann carried out a thorough investigation, found the underlying issue and provided a tailored recovery. She was very professional and caring and took the time to explain everything fully and ensured a return to the water was as quick as possible. It is very clear that Ann has a vast knowledge and I would highly recommend her services to anyone.

John H , Oct 2022

I met Ann after struggling to find help for my severe back and leg pain. I’m also a full time wheelchair user which didn’t help the situation. I immediately got on with Ann as soon as we met. She’s extremely knowledgeable and explained everything that was going on which I hadn’t had before from other professionals. She also understood my medical conditions and worked with them giving me exercises to suit. I throughly recommend her x

Hayley F, Oct 2022

After very bad back pain I checked out loads of different physios but Ann seemed to be the best one. I felt uneasy about going but Ann soon put me at ease with her professionalism and expertise and even rearranged some appointments to get me in before I went on holiday. Would thoroughly recommend Ann

Geoff T ,Oct 2022

Friendly and professional service. Ann explained what the problem was and ensured that I understood what I needed to do to in order to improve. I especially liked the website which made pricing very clear meaning there were no nasty surprises following the consultation. Would (and have) recommended to others.

Lou W, Sept 2022

My name Martin and I am currently having ongoing treatment with Ann Gardner who is very kind and considerate in listening to the problem I have and treating me accordingly with care. Highly recommended 

Martin C , Aug 2022

I’ve been seeing Ann for a few persistent sports injuries and I’m over the moon with the results that I’ve gotten so far. 

What sets Ann above the rest is the fact that she actually listens to you carefully before giving a tailored treatment and advice. 

To top it off, she’s very professional and her premises is a great place to receive treatment. I’d recommend her services to anyone.
