Treatment Approach
Rob's approach is built on three principles: listen carefully, assess thoroughly, and treat the root cause — not just the symptoms. Every assessment starts with understanding your story, your goals, and how your problem is affecting your life. From there, Rob builds a personalised plan that combines hands-on treatment with targeted rehabilitation, giving you both immediate relief and long-term resilience.
Rob believes that the best physiotherapy empowers you to understand your body. You'll always leave with a clear understanding of what's causing your pain, what you can do about it, and a practical plan to keep yourself strong and pain-free.
Patient Success Stories
"Rob was kind, knowledgeable and really helpful and made my physio recovery time a great experience. His approach and work on my ankle has meant I am back playing football, training and getting stronger everyday. Would recommend Rob to anyone in the Marple area. His studio at Bowden Hall has free parking and really accessible."
Nic Absalom
"I had a really positive experience with Rob. Very professional, knowledgeable and very clear in explaining what was causing my back pain and how to manage it. The assessment felt thorough, and I left feeling reassured with practical advice and exercises to help my recovery. I will definitely be back when I require it!"
Daniel Reina S
"Rob treated me for a whiplash injury. He did a thorough assessment and treated me in the practice as well as giving me exercises to do at home and a letter for my employer to ask for a workplace assessment. Rob was very knowledgeable and professional and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!"
