Body and Mind Physio

I saw Matt over a period of about 4 months where he was able to help provide some clarity with a problem with my shoulder that I had been struggling with for just over a year. I was experiencing constant nerve pain along the length of my arm and shoulder with it originally coming from my shoulder.Before seeing Matt I was given a few scans and painkillers and when the scans showed nothing abnormal I was kinda pushed aside to manage with painkillers.We may never know what the root cause of the problem was but he was able to teach me and suggest ways that I could learn to take control of the pain and to ‘teach’ my body that it shouldn’t be creating pain signals for my shoulder.I have since seen a huge improvement with the amount of pain I’m in to the point where I can go back to training at a gym and exercise regularly. I continue to use what he thought me and alongside the training I’m able to continue to reduce the dose of painkillers I’m taking.I was experiencing constant pain of a high level and I have improved to the point where 70-80% of the time I am pain free with what I do experience at a fraction of the level it was before.Doctors had believed that I was suffering with CRPS but we’re not confident enough to properly diagnose.I can’t recommend seeing Matt enough because he succeeded where everything else I had tried failed.

Working with Matt helped me to bring my pain levels down and stop them from interfering with my daily activities. He provided me with an understand of my pain from a new perspective and provided a clear pathway for me to improve my condition. I am very grateful to Matt and his approach to treatment. Highly recommended.

I'd had long term back/glute pain for a year and a half and was looking for some help and support when I found the Body and Mind physio. I had already tried a lot of different things without much improvement. When I first started coming for sessions I could barely sit for 20 mins to drive to the shops, and my quality of life was very poor. As someone who was previously very active and travelled lots it was really challenging to live with the pain and the impact on my life. As I am based in Scotland I saw Matt over zoom which actually worked really well. (it meant I didn't need to worry about travel for sessions at all). I remember Matt being really reassuring in my first session. Over time he really helped me to look at my pain holistically and find the best strategies which have helped me to move forward. I can do a lot more now than I could before, and my quality of life is vastly different. I still live with some pain, but it impacts me less and less. I now feel confident in managing my own pain going forwards and hope that I will continue to see improvements over time.
