Testimonials

What patients say.

Max is not only extremely knowledgable but also knows how to apply that knowledge superbly. After suffering a knee meniscal sprain he has helped me recover so that now I am back to enjoying my running as I increase my intensity.

Apicem Salutem

Max has been helping me recuperate after an ACL and MCL repair last Spring. Regular monthly physio sessions with really helpful advice for exercise at home means I'm now (almost) ready for a return to skiing. He has helped rebuild my confidence as well as my knee mobility. Cant recommend Natural Order highly enough.

Valerie Coward

My experience at this practice was very positive. Max clearly explained my diagnosis after taking a full history. He gave me a treatment plan which was tweaked over the weeks as my condition improved. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Max and his team to friends and family.

Karen Middlemiss

I cannot recommend Max and the Natural Order more. I booked a session with Max after hurting my leg running, it didn't feel like the usual overuse injury and as I was training for a fitness event I wanted a professional opinion. Max was very thorough with his investigation and treatment and together we figured out a plan to get me back to exercise including a diagnosis via MRI. Max is extremely knowledgeable and in every appointment we've had wonderful conversation across many topics, some related to physio, some not! If you're looking for support with movement (and a good chat!) then look no further.

Clare Garcia-Rodriguez

Weeks of almost zero sleep due to back and leg pain. The team at Natural Order in just a couple of visits have made a huge difference. Couldnt recommend them more.

Darren Clark

Before any physical treatment starts, Max listens! He takes the time to understand any concerns I have, thoroughly assesses all movement and revisits my history while diagnosing and treating. I never leave without a clear understanding of any issues and a plan for treatment and recovery. A professional relationship based on Trust. Highly recommended.

Maeve Pratt

What a fantastic and professional service. I really can't recommend enough. Max has sorted out both issues with me and never felt rushed in or out. 5 star service. Thank you so much.

Luke Lockhart

Max is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff. Puts a lot of time and effort into his clients which is fantastic. Highly recommend. Thanks Max for everything.

Sam Mitchell

Max is knowledgeable and professional. In my experience he goes to a great deal of trouble to identify exactly what the problem is and listens carefully to what you say. When he has identified the appropriate treatment this has been effective for me and he recommends appropriate exercises. He doesn't encourage you to go for more treatment than is necessary and he urges a sensible approach to doing the exercises. I have been very grateful for his help (and enjoyed his conversation).

Sue

Max did an fantastic job on getting me back from a persistent calf injury, with simple and affective rehab and got me from being able to just run 3k before my calf would go to being able to do a half marathon in 8 weeks! Very friendly and welcoming I could not recommend more!

Harry Jackson

Having consulted Max on several occasions before, for my most recent visit he was, as usual, thorough, considerate, friendly and listened carefully before investigating my issues and suggesting a welcome course of action. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
