What People Say

Physio Med was helpful from the outset in helping us control our costs, suggesting we use management referral in the first instance and limiting the number of treatment sessions per employee.
We implemented the system in February 2017 and have had 28 referrals to the service since then. Implementation was bespoke to our divisional set up and reporting requirements. The electronic referral system helps us keep track of our statistics and the support we have from Physio Med has been excellent.

Angela Brookes - Occupational Health Nurse Manager
Well Being Partners Occupational Health Function of Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Trust.

We have been working in partnership with Physio Med since June 2014. The service has greatly benefitted our Trust as it gives us greater access across our Trust footprint. It provides a fast and effective service for the staff within our Trust by utilising a hybrid of its Physiotherapy Advice Line (PAL) service and face-to-face sessions which has benefitted us in terms of financial impact and of improved productivity.

The blended model has enabled an approximate 22% cost saving as opposed to just utilising a face-to-face service.

Excellent service which needs to be promoted, I have worked for the DWP for nine years and have only just discovered the service exists by (happy) accident.

Having now used this service on two separate occasions I can safely say I would recommend PAL to any of my colleagues. The service provided is of the utmost professionalism, coupled with an easy to understand set of exercises that were tailored to my needs. Thanks very much indeed for a continued great service.

Michale T

I wish I'd contacted the service earlier. I was skeptical up and until a few days after I had spoken to the physio. I can't believe the difference it made and can't thank the physio enough.

Lynn T

I have been absolutely over the moon with this service. From struggling I now have so much more mobility in my shoulder and no pain killers. Definitely recommend this service to anyone.

Karen V

As an international power-lifter I was impressed that not only did your staff know what that was but named a few. I imagine they have used this service. My knee started to feel better straight away partly due to the massage and the harder of the step exercises - I now no longer even noticed it an I am back to squatting the weight I normally do. I returned to get my shoulder treated and the isometric exercises are brilliant. It no longer hurts when I drive and I moved up 4 weights jumps in bench press.

Michale M

I was a bit apprehensive about using this service due to it being over the phone but I will now be recommending this service to my colleagues as it has helped me considerably without having to wait for an appointment for physio.

James T

The exercises have transformed my life as I thought I was facing a lifetime of tennis elbow and cortisone injections unable to function properly at work and home but the exercises have made a huge difference. Thank you.

Kelly B

I thought this service was excellent- especially the physio who was very helpful, informative and answered all my questions. I had loads of constructive advice. It's really improved my management of my condition.

Lisa T

This is the second time I have used the service. I feel very lucky to have an employer that offers this service. Nipping the aches and pains in the bud, has prevented me taking time off from work I am sure.

Tony D

The Physiotherapist was extremely efficient and friendly explaining everything thoroughly. I feel confident in the treatment program I have been given, and was made fully aware that help was at the end of a phone line should I need it. Very impressed

Michael F

Well presented and delivered service. On line exercises enhanced delivery. I found Annabel to be a helpful and knowledgeable advisor, willing to listen and provide advice when required.

Donna R

I found Annabelle very approachable, easy to talk to, she listened and was very informative and encouraging one of the nicest physio's I've met. Her advice was comprehensive and excellent, if only I'd spoken to her sooner.

James P

I found this service much friendlier than going to a physio and found the content in the e-mail excellent and it enables me to do the exercises much more effectively than the usual printed bits of paper. Excellent service and I'm really glad that I am now aware of it. The physio who spoke to me was superb in explaining the condition.

Dave L

The person i spoke to i think her name was Abigail was so friendly and gave great customer service a credit to you.
