Ed Kirby Physiotherapy

I am a keen runner and have been struggling with an ankle problem for the best part of 2 years. I had seen a few other specialists before Ed, but none of them were able to properly get rid of the problem. I went to see Ed following a recommendation from some club-mates. He took time to analytically diagnose the problem and check out different areas of potential weakness (not only the injury site). Over a course of 5 or so appointments, Ed had me initially work on some basic strengthening and stability exercises, which increased in load/intensity over the 3-4 months that I was seeing him. Whilst we agreed to stop running initially to build up some strength, he worked with me on a graduated re-introduction of running combined with the exercises. He adapted the program based on feedback I was getting from the program he set (it was not all a linear progression...). I firmly believe that this focus on strengthening combined with a gradual increase in running load helped me get back on the road to recovery. I am now running back again and am feeling the best I have done for over 2 years. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone looking for physio treatment whether a runner, sportsperson or otherwise.

3rd time visiting Ed. Great knowledge, experience and information. Once again had HA injections into both knees. Will keep me mobile and keep the knee replacement surgery at bay for a while yet. Thanks again! 👍

Ed is very knowledgeable, explains the problem and solution clearly using both technical and plain language. Very honest and tries to help effectively not to drag on the amount of treatmenst. He uses manipulation, acupuncture and massage to eliviate the symptoms. Prescribed exercises made huge difference. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone with any injuries. Always polite, positive and makes me feel safe.

Have been visiting Ed on and off for a number of years now, he’s successfully helped me get over a number of sporting injuries, I’m always impressed with his assessments and recovery programs. Highly recommended!

I would highly recommend Ed, I had terrible pain in my shoulder, a cortisone injection did the trick along with some exercises .

I cannot speak highly enough of the treatments received by Louisa.
A noticeable improvement from my first appointment, following a very thorough consultation.

Wow! Having had x-rays and MRIs for debilitating hip pain and seeing other physios with zero results, I saw Ed. After 4 sessions and simple home exercises in between, my hip pain went from a constant 9/10 that kept me awake at night and stopped me driving to 0/10. It was like a miracle - he is a completely brilliant physio and a really nice guy. I wish I hadn't wasted time and had just called him sooner. Thanks Ed!

Ed is very professional and easy to talk to. I’d been having problems with my shoulder for a long time, but following the Ostenil Plus injection the pain has almost gone and movement isn’t a problem any longer. A very positive outcome, thank you.
