Best physiotherapists in Birmingham: find options near you

My treatment at Physio Art has been exceptional. Adhip is a great practitioner – his humour, compassion, knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for his subject really put me at ease and made the whole process fun rather than tedious. Should I need anything further treatment I will be sure to book in with him!

A gem of a place! I would highly recommend the services of the excellent people that make up Physio Art. They are truly top class professionals. From Sara on reception to the expertise of Ruth, Batul and Adhip, the best treatment was received for both myself and my teenage son. The exercise programme being sent via email for us to follow hugely aided our recovery. We have felt very well looked after by a company that put their patients first.

I’ve only had one session with Physio Art, but I felt completely at ease. The location was easy to get, to, although with limited parking but that didn’t detract from the overall experience. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist and my experience with Adhip who was providing expert advice for my calf was brilliant. I was provided with an app and log-in for great video tutorials on the bespoke package of exercises to support me, including the supporting muscles for the problem in question. I’d highly recommend anyone to use Physio Art, I’ve already booked in my next session.

I would always recommend Physio Art as I have had such professional and expert help from them over the years from when they were in Pritchatts Road to more recently now in Knightlow Road. I have always felt listened to and understanding; encouraged to keep going even when injury or arthritis makes you feel really down. I especially recommend Alex Sarah and Hannah who have treated me well during this time.
I have always been able to get an appointment in a timely time and their new studios are great!

Just had a my first sports massage with Adhip. What a great experience. He listened to my concerns and made me feel very comfortable during the session. He is very knowledgeable and has given me some great advice going forward! Highly recommend!!thank you

Adhip has been excellent in helping me recover from my ACL injury and starting to return back to sport again.

He has been caring and thorough with his approach, detailing exactly what I needed to do and explaining each part of the process from post surgery up until now.

I would highly recommend everyone to go to Adhip if they need support with their injuries.

Thanks once again.

I would just like to share what a fantastic experience I’ve had with physio art. I injured my arm in the gym at Easter and have had 10 sessions with Adhip, I can’t praise him and the team at physio art enough. From consultation to recovery; every step of the way they have been fabulous! Would very highly recommend!!

Highly recommend Hannah! I saw her for a deep tissue massage for tightness in my upper body/calves.
She was attentive, thorough and friendly-definitely made me feel at ease.
Great service all around!

Absolutely thrilled with the care and treatment l’ve received from Jezzie, my physiotherapist! her professionalism and expertise have been truly impressive. From the initial assessment to the treatment plans, Jezzie has taken the time to understand my specific needs and concerns. Her approach is not only effective but also compassionate and understanding, making the entire process feel supportive and empowering. Thank you so much.

Highly recommend Jezzie, before coming to see her i was advised by another clinic that I’d need injections in my wrist to help it heal and recover.

At my first consultation she noticed that the pain had started further up and I had been compensating the pain over a long period. After the first treatment I was already feeling the relief but after my 3rd treatment along with helpful exercises and stretches I’m pain free and was all thanks to Jezzie’s knowledge and persistence

Rickie is very knowledgeable and always gives great support for any issues I have. He also provides helpful exercises tailored to my needs, which make it easier to maintain progress.

I have been receiving physiotherapy from Lewis for the past few weeks and it has done wonders for me. I used to get pain in my lower back and glute and in my right arm due to my work. After I started treatment, I could feel the pain reducing with each session and the back pain is almost gone at this point after about 6 sessions. The exercises and stretches Lewis prescribed are helping with future flexibility and strength.
I hadn’t been able to do burpees for two years and Lewis has me back doing my favourite exercise again for which I am very thankful!
Lewis is professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He asked lots of questions at the beginning to understand the root of the issue and knew straight away what needed to be done. If you are looking for a physio for yourself, i would definitely recommend!!

I would highly recommend seeing Lewis for any sports massage/ injury therapy. I have been to see a couple other physios about my shoulder but none of them seemed to know what my injury was or how to treat it. A few weeks with Lewis and my shoulder feels brand new. The sessions were worth the pain and the after care was great aswell as the recommended training he gave me to do at home to speed up the recovery

Lewis as he is a great physiotherapist! For ages I had excruciating pains in my hips and lower back. I’ve had a few sessions with Lewis now and I feel totally different. I no longer have any pains whereas before it was almost everyday. Each session Lewis continued to gradually increase the amount of pressure on my joints and always recommended me different exercises when others didn’t seem to work as effectively. I highly recommend Lewis to anyone suffering with such problems.

Good experience, Nida was professional and friendly – very informative. i had weekly sessions for 7 weeks following a car accident leaving me with neck and back complaints, i can now feel an improvement from the massages and stretches she advised which is amazing!

Yasmi has been excellent with ensuring recovery of my knees, especially the left one.

Exercises were built on very gradually. You know at the start with physio exercises, you feel like it can’t be doing much but it really did work and have built to resistance exercises and dynamic exercises so I can get back to decent exercise to get this 2″ off my waist.

All was explained well at each session.

Top marks.

I was referred here after a car accident in May after suffering whiplash in my upper back and neck, and Nida has been absolutely amazing recovering me. She made me feel comfortable during the sessions and gave me a good set of exercises to help get me better. Couldn’t recommend and thank her more 🙂

I’ve had the pleasure of getting support from Yasmin from Independent Physio and she’s been such a delight. Her patience and overall support during a painful experience is nothing short of brilliant. I am happy to say that I’ve completed a course of 7-8 sessions and feel rejuvenated. Thanks Yasmin

Very professional and effective physiotherapy service. Aqsa has provided me with an individual treatment plan and ensured a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I’d strongly recommend her services to anyone looking to recover from an injury.

I’ve just completed a course of physio with Nida Kamran and her colleagues, Nida was my usual physiotherapist.

Nida’s assessment of my needs proved to be perfectly accurate, and the course of treatment was specifically targeted to acutely remedy my injury.

The clinical area was spotlessly clean and comfortable. I found Nida’s professionalism reassuring, and I was left in no doubt as to what her diagnosis and opinion was.

The treatment has been successful and I would recommend Nida and her colleagues to anyone requiring physiotherapy.

Nida was fantastic. I was referred due to an accident for some physiotherapy.
She did a very detailed consultation and set my program custom to me of exercises to do at home. In the sessions she was very informative and kind and explained everything thoroughly.

The course led by Qas was hands on with a perfect blend of theory. I have already used the methods that I learnt and practised on the two days on various clients and it has yielded amazing success. I would not hesitate to recommend this course to anyone who is looking to further their career in manually therapy. The inclusion of a guest speaker on the second day was an eye opener.

Qasim is exceptional. I suffered a severe shoulder problem from an old football injury and couldn’t exercise — I was frustrated and had tried everything. After only two sessions Qasim found the issue: he carefully manipulated and focused on my shoulder with his own style of physiotherapy, identified a hidden injury, got me x-rayed, then used deep tissue massage and manual therapy to reduce years of inflammation and swelling. My shoulder works again. I now go to the gym regularly and, through Qasim’s weight-training program, have rebuilt a strong, powerful shoulder. He’s unlike any physio I’ve had in the last ten years — truly the best. Be warned: some of his therapy isn’t for the faint-hearted, but it works.

I came to Qasim with an ongoing ankle sprain issue that had been flaring up on and off for a couple of years. He quickly identified the areas that needed work and gave me simple, effective exercises I could do at home to build strength. As my ankle improved, he gradually increased the intensity of the exercises to target other movements like jumping and running. He also helped relieve the pain during our sessions using massage, acupuncture, and deep tissue work on my calves to ease the stiffness I had when I first came in. The whole process was straightforward and easy to follow. I’m now back to 100% and able to comfortably play the sports I enjoy.

I have been using Optimum Physio sporadically for over a decade now. Qasim always approaches any issues I have had with diligence and upmost professional detail. He is thorough and provides excellent service which involves tailoring treatment plans in accordance with specific problem areas. He approaches his work with care and a wholehearted effort to achieve results for the patient.

Top notch.

Life-Changing Treatment – Shoulder Pain Gone After 2 Years!

I had been struggling with constant shoulder pain for over 2 years – it affected my sleep, work, and even simple daily activities. After trying different treatments with little success, I finally decided to book in for a shoulder injection and rehabilitation. Honestly, I wish I had done this sooner!

From the very first appointment, the care and professionalism were outstanding. The injection was quick and almost painless, and the physio guided me through a personalised rehab programme that actually made sense and delivered results.

Within weeks, I noticed a huge improvement. Now, I’m completely pain-free and have full mobility back – something I hadn’t experienced in years.

If you’re in pain and unsure where to turn, I can’t recommend this place highly enough. It’s not just treatment, it’s a total recovery plan.

Thank you for giving me my shoulder – and my life – back!

Edit 17.4.2025: Due to a ClassPass problem my original reservation didn’t show up in Optimum Physio reservation system and hence the office was closed and didn’t get any service that day.

However, Qasim fixed the situation and booked me another time to physiotherapy and I received a good tension relieving massage coupled with acupuncture that opened up my shoulder / back muscles and I feel a lot better now. Will definitely come again.

Visited Qas for a shoulder injury I sustained. He did a great job of assessing my injury, applying deep-tissue massage techniques and then providing me with a follow-up plan. Excellent experience overall and Qas provided great customer service.

Ken made a huge difference to my mobility and pain. It was hard at times but very much worth it. I would recommend and advise you to do exactly what he tells you even when it’s tough. I’m now able to get fully on with my life

Needed help with lower back and left Leg pain and got more than enough. Attended weekly sessions to get massages and instructions on different palates, which I had to carry out at home. I had 24 sessions, and I’ve never felt better. Took up running for the first time as a result.

Outstanding Physio! Very informative and quickly diagnosed the reason I was in pain. After 5 weeks of intense exercises I can run longer distances and not experience pain the day after. Highly recommend and I will 100% be returning if I need any further treatment in the future .

After turning my ankle on a park run and a couple of less than successful visits to the
Hospital I turned to Vital. Immediately I started to make improvements but in my case progress was slow and there were a few set backs along the way. This is where Eric really came into his own. I had a few dark days when I was ready to resign myself to not getting better. But every appointment Eric cheered me up and gave me the hope and belief to continue. I’m back running again now and have half an eye on a triathlon.

Highly recommended

After a terrible ankle injury in the summer and being told by the hospital I would recover in 3/6 weeks (and saw no improvement) I went to Eric who suggested I needed a full rehab plan and reset my expectations that my injury was more likely a 6 month recovery time.
I was really worried this would result in me losing my level of fitness and never fully getting back to my level of ability but after a really thorough and intense plan I am now at almost 100% recovery.
Eric has been great throughout, realistic with my expectations, firm with encouragement and really supportive in getting me back to where I wanted to be.
I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Eric!

Prior to seeing Eric I had very little hope that physiotherapy could help with resuming working out with a 70% tendon torn shoulder, knee injury, and back pains. During my time with Eric, he has been fantastic, very knowledgable in identifying the root cause and providing a plan which has allowed me to resume being active and working out.

I had suffered with a painful neck for a long time so I booked to see Eric and he had my pain eased in no time. He’s been very comprehensive, I also needed help with my knee and back during the months I was having follow up appointments until I was able to go back to regular exercising.
Eric is a very polite and professional person, he has a great depth of knowledge and also does acupuncture.
I would recommend Eric at Vital physio
Thank you

I’ve been seeing Dr. Sonia Dev at Physio Genius for many years now, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. I initially came to her for treatment of a persistent sciatica injury and thanks to her expertise and ongoing care, I’ve experienced tremendous relief and improvement over time.

Dr. Dev is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely dedicated to her patients’ long-term health. From the very first session, she took the time to understand the root of the issue and tailored a treatment plan that addressed both the symptoms and the underlying cause. Her combination of hands-on therapy, guided exercises, and practical advice has been a game-changer for me.

What sets Dr. Dev apart is not just her skill as a physiotherapist, but also her compassion and attentiveness. She listens, adapts and always makes sure you feel supported on your healing journey. Sonia creates a warm, professional environment that makes every visit a positive experience.

If you’re dealing with sciatica or any other musculoskeletal issue, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Sonia Dev at Physio Genius. They’ve made a lasting difference in my quality of life.

I visited for a sports massage with specialist treatment for hamstrings as I have dealt with pain and difficulty as a runner. Sonia could tell very quickly from just my walk what the issue was, and treated my left knee. This has helped me massively and was very effective. Sonia was very kind and helpful and explained everything very well. Definitely recommend!!

I took my mum with sciatica pain. She couldn’t even walk without support. She was feeling much better from 1st session and after 2nd session she could walk without support. Sonia is very thorough in explanation and treatment. Professionals like her needed to be appreciated and recommended.

We’ve been seeing Sonia as a family for over 10 years, and she has consistently delivered outstanding care. Her attention to detail and depth of knowledge are second to none. Whether it’s advice, treatment, or long-term support, Sonia always goes the extra mile to ensure we feel looked after. She maintains excellent hygiene standards and creates a clean, professional, and welcoming environment. Highly recommended to anyone seeking a reliable and experienced physiotherapist!

Me and my husband have been visiting Sonia for the last two years. She is an incredible person who has such a professional approach. Every time i have a session with her i feel relieved for at least two months. She is a wonderful and kind human being who treats her patients with much care. I highly recommend her.

My husband visited Physio Genius following a sports injury, which was promptly and accurately diagnosed as bicep tendinitis by Sonia. While a full course of treatment is still ongoing, he has already felt a noticeable improvement thanks to the exercises she recommended.

Sonia is not only highly knowledgeable and up to date in her field, but also exceptionally kind and compassionate in her approach. Her professionalism and expertise have been truly reassuring throughout the process.

We would highly recommend her to anyone in need of physiotherapy.

What a great physiotherapist! My Mum has had pains all over her over her body for the last few decades. What Sonia managed to do was that she gave my Mum the comfort and the alleviation she has been looking for (for so long).

I highly highly recommend Sonia above all of the physiotherapists that I have heard of or tried. Please do try her; she provides not only an amazing set of experience, but this is also coupled with a genuine smile, sincere, personality and beautiful manners.

I have been a client here for a little while, getting a few injuries sorted. Everyone has been amazing, Karen does an amazing job coordinating appointments and busy diaries, plus she is so friendly and caring. Alexander is amazing, clearly really experienced and knowledgeable, he makes sure you can keep doing what you enjoy and getting stronger and pain free in the process. He managed to identify my ailments and treat them when the GP appeared baffled by my symptoms. Couldn’t recommend this team more strongly and will continue to use their services whenever I have any injuries or niggles.

I have been receiving physio for the last 9 months at St Paul’s Physio and I cannot believe that they have been able to resolve problems that I’ve had for years. I cannot fault their level of care, knowledge and customer service. After going to previous physiotherapists who I have had a negative experience with, I am so lucky I found St Paul’s as I had begin to lose faith and trust in getting help with my health. Karen is always friendly and helpful, and Andy, my physiotherapist, is honestly amazing, I cannot recommend St Paul’s Physio enough.

Miracle worker!

I had two degenerative discs and one prolapsed disc in my neck and ended up in A&E 3 weeks after having my baby; unable to move. I couldn’t hold my baby as my arm and hand was numb, painful and tingly and all the muscles around my neck and down my back were extremely painful and medication wasn’t working, sitting and standing became unbearable. I had planned to have a nerve root block injection after seeing a consultant as that was recommended as the quickest way to recover. I went to see Alex a few days before my planned injection and he has been nothing short of incredible.

His straight talking, extensive knowledge and confidence has meant that after 7 sessions I am fully recovered and have not needed the high risk injection. I am now more knowledgeable to recognise and understand what I can and cannot do, how I manage it moving forward as well as being more perceptive about the muscles in and around my neck and back.

I cancelled the injection that was planned and after 2-3 sessions my neck had improved considerably. Alex enabled me to hold my baby again and look after him. We worked together on reducing amitriptyline as it made me very sleepy and I reduced it from 75mg to nothing.

I cannot recommend him enough, he is a true expert in his field and I put all my trust in him and he absolutely delivered.

St Paul’s Physio is so welcoming too, Karen is fab, they’re friendly, funny, sociable and caring and I will miss them as they became a bi-weekly part of my maternity leave. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone with any nerve problems in the neck or back.

Alex has been incredible, a fountain of knowledge. I have been experiencing pain for several months and seen countless ‘experts’, Alex was the only one to first listen to what was wrong first and advised me perfectly. On the way back to a full recovery thanks to Alex’s expert treatment.

Such a lovely, warm, professional welcome which puts you at ease straight away. The staff being so approachable and friendly, makes the visit a joy.
I’ve suffered from migraines for many many years and the wonderful physiotherapist has worked a miracle! Very knowledgeable and understanding.
Have recommended to many others already and will continue to do so, for a long time to come.
A pleasure to meet such lovely people who are also amazing at their job…a real treasure x

I have received treatment from Alex, Andy and Arti over the last few months for lower back pain and sciatica. All therapists are extremely personable, highly skilled and professional. Most of my sessions have been with Arti who has been exceptional and very patient with me. Arti always puts my mind at rest and eases my anxiety and pain. Karen who manages the practice has also been exceptional. It is an absolute pleasure to visit the practice and be in the company of such amazing people. Thank you for everything you have done for me. You are all truly amazing human beings!

I was very pleased with the service at St Pauls Physio, Andrew was extremely knowledgable and provided some great exercises for my ankle. Andrew took time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and provide valuable guidance. My ankle now feels noticeably stronger, allowing me to perform daily activities with greater ease.

I went in with a pretty bad injury which stopped me from training. I tried the GP and all they said was rest for up to 8 weeks and take Ibuprofen. I went to the chiropractor for a second opinion and now, thanks to Gurjit and his proactive treatment plan, I’m back to my normal schedule a month later.

Also, my posture is better. I feel looser and stronger. I have a better range of motion. My grip strength in my left hand, which was weak from a previous injury, has improved by almost 10kg.

I went for the intensive treatment plan which was 2 sessions a week and it was 100% worth it. Definitely recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I can’t thank Gurj enough! My mum had been struggling with vertigo for quite some time, and it was affecting her quality of life. After just a few sessions with Gurj, her symptoms improved dramatically. He took the time to thoroughly assess her condition and created a personalized treatment plan that worked wonders.

Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, but he was also kind, patient, and made sure my mum felt comfortable throughout the entire process. The difference in her condition has been night and day. We are so grateful for his care and expertise, and I truly believe his treatment has made all the difference.

I highly recommend Gurj to anyone dealing with vertigo or any other chiropractic needs. He’s professional, welcoming, and dedicated to helping his patients feel better. Thanks again, Gurj! You’ve made such a positive impact on my mum’s health!

Excellent practitioner providing outstanding service and treatment. Very good customer service and works to fit appointments in around your schedule and accommodates children at appointments. Great for a busy mom! Would highly recommend.

I’ve been going to see Gurj for the last 7 years and his service has been exceptional. He initially saw me to correct a bad back/pinched nerve….6-7 sessions later and the issue was resolved and I had full mobility restored. Since then I’ve seen Gurj every 3-4 months for more of an ‘MOT’…he’s helped with alignment issues and/or impact/muscle injuries. Gurj builds a reassuring rapport with his clients, is brilliant at what he does and offers great advice for home exercise/stretching

Gurj is amazing and I don’t know what I would have done without him. I have had chronic pain from headaches, tension, back and neck pain and he’s the only one who understood what I needed. If you need an expert, he’s your guy. I’ve been with him for years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. The holistic treatments I have received from him have been the best. Thank you Gurj!

I’ve been visiting Gurj at Advanced Chiropractic and Physiotherapy in the Jewellery Quarter regularly for the past six years due to L4/L5 disc bulges, and I can’t recommend him enough. The consistent care and attention I’ve received from Gurj have been instrumental in managing my pain and improving my overall mobility.

Not only has my spinal mobility improved significantly, but this enhanced mobility has also allowed me to focus more on exercising, well-being, and eating healthy. Each visit starts with a thorough assessment, and Gurj always adapts my treatment plan based on my progress. His expertise in spinal health has made a noticeable difference in my daily life, helping me regain my active lifestyle.

Gurj is incredibly supportive and always takes the time to educate me on maintaining my spinal health between visits. The friendly atmosphere makes each session enjoyable, and I always leave feeling rejuvenated and motivated to take care of my overall health.

If you’re dealing with similar issues, I highly recommend Gurj at Advanced Chiropractic and Physiotherapy. His commitment to patient care over the years has truly transformed my experience with L4/L5 disc bulges and enhanced my overall well-being.

I’ve been dealing with back and neck pain for some time, and Gurj has been an incredible help. Each session is both professional and effective, with noticeable relief after every visit. I would highly recommend them to anyone dealing with similar issues!

I would definitely recommend Chris. He took the time to understand the history of my injury, gave a manageable amount of exercises and gave helpful tips about managing flare ups. I’m on a journey of recovery, but definitely further on than I would have been without physio. Chris was friendly and professional throughout, with no pressure to block book appointments or have any more than I wanted.

Chris has dealt with my long term knee issue.
He took time to consider my problem and worked on it regularly.
He also gave me simple exercises to carry out to help strengthen the knee.
Although not yet resolved his treatment has been highly effective and left me with minimal issues after so many years of pain.
I have no hesitation in recommending Chris Tiley Physiotherapy Services

Chris listened to my problem with my shoulder and took time to understand the changes over time and my current situation. His treatment (massage plus exercises) have done wonders for my shoulder and he has gone above and beyond eg giving me follow-up advice for free. He was friendly, knowledgeable, clear and – ultimately – effective. I’d def recommend him.

Due to an injury I was unable to participate in sport. Chris was very helpful and informative when diagnosing the issue and really listened to my symptoms. He provided some useful exercises and advice on managing my recovery. This enabled my smooth return to sport and I am now pain free.

Following a knee injury which occurred whilst playing sport, regular sessions with Chris have regained both confidence and strength in my body. Chris has been thorough throughout my recovery, taking time to understand both myself and the nature of my injury. A variety of exercises/movements have been used to make sessions challenging and noticeably beneficial – would highly recommend!

I have been attending Chris Tiley Physiotherapy because I have hip arthritis. I wanted to improve my movement by muscle strengthening exercises but I was not sure which ones to do. I feel confident in trying challenging exercises because Chris has the necessary expertise and can advise safely.
In addition I have recently been attending his over 60’s exercise class on a Tuesday morning where I am able to exercise with the support & encouragement of others and the oversight of Chris & my mobility is steadily increasing.

Chris is absolutely professional throughout.
His knowledge of injuries id second to none and treatment effective and after care with advice of exercises. I have been a few times and will continue to use Chris for any future issues.
This is great value for. Obey off thats what your interested in for myself it’s all about how good is this guy!! Fully recommend once you’ve been treated by Chris I’ll guarantee you’ll be like myself going back good luck and hope your injury isn’t too serious

I was treated by the Physio team following a motorcycle accident and received quality treatment, care and advice. I am now fully recovered and can highly recommend using this service

Very pleasant and personable physio. Listened carefully and adopted a holistic approach. Given ultrasound therapy and good advice on self management.

I’ve had two appointments with the health clinic for separate issues and have received expert support and advice on both visits.
No need for me to go elsewhere for physiotherapy enquiries.

Wojciech is simply the best physiotherapist I have ever encountered. He listens to his patients concerns and treats them accordingly, using a variety of techniques and equipment.
Unlike most therapists, who just seem to give a token gesture of physio and then hand you an extensive list of exercises for you to do: he is a very hands on physio: a proper, genuine, physical physiotherapist.
Absolutely outstanding service!

I’ve been going to the clinic for several years with shoulder and back problems. And I found the the service very professional , friendly and the physiotherapist goes above and beyond to help and finding appropriate treatment to suit my individual needs. I certainly recommend him if you need physio .

Fantastic physio, faur pricing, very knowledgeable, kind, professional amd welcoming. Initially went for a back problem but also sorted some shoulder and neck issues too. Also does acupuncture which I found more helpful for my back
Would definitely recommend to anyone to try here.

I suffered a knee injury shortly before Christmas. I was recommended to have physiotherapy to aid recovery. I contacted Tranquilty Clinic who arranged a same day appointment to assess the injury, but also impressively started treatment the same day. An excellent first impression.
My Psyiotherapist was called Amrita. She was brilliant. She was calm, professional, reassuring and most importantly made a real difference to my recovery. Follow up appointments were easy to arrange. Even over the Christmas and New Year period, Amrita made herself available to help me.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amrita and Tranquility Physiotherapy.
