Testimonials

John Beard, Chartered Engineer, Westhoughton, 14th February 2012“I had a nagging Achilles tendon problem for more than 4 months before I went to Swinton Physiotherapy. The problem was severe enough to stop me doing my favourite pastimes in the summer which are fell and country walking and golf. After the first treatment session I had an immediate and major improvement, and after a course of treatment the problem has completely cleared; so, I am now looking forward to the spring and the better weather. In every physio session I have had, Jonathan has put in a great deal of effort to get me back to normal, and since the Achilles I have had treatment on my neck and shoulder also with excellent results. I have over the years been to see several physiotherapists and chiropractors some of these were good and some not so good but Jonathan is the only one I would go to now. I would wholeheartedly recommend him.”

Ian Varden, passionate footballer, Swinton, 9th February 2012“I came with torn ligaments in both ankles and couldn’t walk properly let alone play football. With the ongoing care I received here I can finally get my place back in my football team and look forwards to being player of the season thanks to Swinton Physiotherapy and Jonathan. ”

Eileen Foster, accounts manager, Atherton, 7th February 2012“I have recently been in a car accident in which I sustained injury to my right shoulder, arm and elbow. During my treatments I found Jonathan kind, understanding and fully knowledgeable in all aspects of physiotherapy and acupuncture, all of which has helped me tremendously. I was also given additional exercises to do which have all helped with my recovery. If anyone needs the recommendation of a good and professional Physiotherapist you should put Swinton at the top of your list.”

Roy Williamson, Pendlebury, 3rd December 2012“I was involved in a road traffic accident which affected my neck, shoulder and lower back.

I can say that the treatment has improved my quality of life from the period prior to any treatment!”

Brendan Hall, Pendlebury, 6th January 2012“I have had a longstanding knee injury for about a year, the exercises on their own were not improving things. The treatment from Jonathan added to the exercises I had been doing and enabled me to turn the corner on my road to full recovery.”
Eirwyn Jones, Retired, Atherton, 28th December 2011“A thoroughly professional and welcoming experience. Treatment was planned and explained to me. I was happy to leave all decisions to Jonathan.

Nicci Cawthorne,PA,Swinton, 19th November 2011“I would highly recommend Jonathan to anyone who is experiencing back problems. After an injury in the gym I have been seeking help from my GP and a local Chiropractor for over a month. I had a number of treatments and was taking very strong pain killers with no improvement. I was unable to work as I could not sit at a desk for long periods of time and I was unable to stand up for longer than 10 minutes and bending down was a struggle. I then became depressed because I was unable to return to my normal active lifestyle of running and regular visits to the gym.
In my very last hope of returning back to normal I came across Jonathan on the internet. On my first visit I was really impressed. Jonathan was extremely professional and friendly but above all he took the time to listen to me and understand the pain I was going through. He then in turn diagnosed my back injury correctly and explained to me clearly what had happened.
After just over a week of treatments I returned to normal, after the first session I was feeling better and from there I recovered really quickly. I still can’t believe it now, I’m in no pain or discomfort at all, the pain killers have gone and I’m excited about getting back to the gym and running again.
I cannot thank Jonathan enough for his treatment and getting me back to normal so quickly. I will be recommending him to all my family and my friends in the gym. Thank you! ”

Michael Jones, recreational footballer, Salford, 15th November 2011“I saw Jonathan for a problem which I had been having for several years and had seen my GP and several consultants for. Now after my course of treatment my flexibility has improved greatly and I can now see a better future with less pain.”

Peter Brook, rugby league match officials development officer and Superleague match official, Swinton, 15th September 2011“Many thanks for your advice and treatment since my injury.

Jessica Doyle, college student, Little Hulton 16th June 2011“I had experienced back pain for two years following a fall off a chair, before going to Swinton Physiotherapy.

I now feel a lot better and was even able to stand at a concert last weekend without any pain! ”

Janet Jones, Tutor, Walkden 6th Form Centre, 24th May 2011Just wanted to say how pleased I was with the level of professionalism and excellent care received during treatment at Swinton Physiotherapy.
The trouble started whilst walking my rather excitable gundog, he pulled on the lead and my shoulder felt like it ‘popped’. Suffering pain during the following weeks, Jonathan was recommended by my sister who's daughter, a dancer for the Northern Ballet, was receiving treatment for a knee injury, she was pleased with the level of care being provided and the advice being given. However, I hesitated on contacting him thinking the shoulder would get better in time by itself.
As the months passed with no improvement, indeed the pain was getting more intense, I contacted Jonathan via his website, received a prompt reply and an appointment the next day. Following a thorough consultation, he put my mind at ease and diagnosed the problem, estimating that four treatments would be needed.
Three treatments later, one being acupuncture, I feel I have been given my life back! Dramatic you may think, but the lack of sleep, constant nagging pain and general feeling of being unwell was getting me down. I only wish I had followed up the treatment sooner, and definitely won’t hesitate to contact him in the future should the need arise.
Chloe Thornton, student, Salford, 12th May 2011“I came to Swinton Physiotherapy for back and neck pain which had been present for a year following a car accident. The pain made it difficult to concentrate during long periods of sitting at college. Initially the treatment was sore but Jonathan's good sense of humour made it easier to bear. I am now much improved and am grateful for the treatment that I received at Swinton Physiotherapy.”

Philip Hayes, Electronics engineer, Walkden, 10th May 2011“Jonathan was very friendly and easy to talk to. Instant improvement in my wrist after just one session. No problems with arrangement of treatment sessions. .”

Tony Delaney, Chief Instructor Salford Trap n’ Tap MMA academy, Sixth Dan Karate & combat systems, Professional close protection operative, Senior Instructor/coach British Combat Association, 15th April 2011“I attended Swinton Physiotherapy for a hamstring strain and a long-standing shoulder problem which were affecting my ability to do training. I noticed some good improvements early with my hamstring which I was really pleased about because I was limited with demonstrating kicks. The shoulder took a bit longer but I was able to sleep on it comfortably at night early on, which I hadn’t been able to do for some time. I was very pleased with the treatment from Jonathan, he got me back to my best so I could get on with training champions. ”

Beverly Huddart, Supplies Purchaser, Swinton, 13th April 2011“I came to Swinton Physiotherapy and had a course for a neck injury. The treatment was fantastic and after several sessions completely erased my problem. Jonathan is very professional but puts you at ease. I would recommend him to anyone who requires treatment. ”

Chris Clark, Payroll officer, Swinton, 12th April 2011“My long term neck and shoulder problems were sorted out in 6 sessions of physiotherapy. Jonathan's magic fingers were amazing and sometimes left me feeling so relaxed I was floating. He was very friendly and relaxing. ”

Natalie Metcalf, Recruitment Consultant, Swinton, 8th March 2011“I had low back pain for six months and I went to Swinton Physiotherapy when it started to worsen. I had a vast improvement after the first treatment and can now do my long commute comfortably and play football comfortably. I recommend Jonathan for giving a clear diagnosis and getting quick results. ”
Jane Murphy, Secretary, Swinton, 8th March 2011“I had some worrying shoulder and upper arm pain which had been present for two weeks before coming to Swinton Physiotherapy. After two treatments and some sound advice I was feeling much better. I was very pleased at how quickly I improved and should have come earlier. ”

Philip Rostern, Salford, 23rd February 2011“I went to Swinton Physiotherapy following a workplace accident which was a crush injury to my lower leg. There was a fracture through both leg bones and into the ankle. I had been off work for eight months and was unable to do sport or my normal gym workouts.
After my first visit I had confidence in Jonathan straight away and felt optimistic about restoring my life back to the way it was.
The aspect of the treatment which I valued most was all the manual techniques that were applied to my ankle – Jonathan did a lot of pushing and pulling. He also guided me well through rehabilitation and I was surprised just how quick I was able to progress my gym exercises and get going on the treadmill.
I am now back in work, am exercising and am focusing on resuming rugby this year. Jonathan provided first class treatment and I would recommend him to anyone – I even sent my dad along for his niggly back and now he’s better! ”
Paul Longstaff, keen runner from Monton, 18th February 2011“The treatment I have received from Jon has been first class. I immediately felt the benefit from my first visit and now following 6 sessions (for an ankle sprain) have fully recovered. Thanks Jon. ”
