Physio Republic

I took my son to see Craig as he had an ankle injury. Craig found the root cause during the initial consultation and resolved the issue. Craig also realigned my son’s body and gave him additional exercises to support his swimming which led to him achieving PB’s in every stroke.
Craig is really great with children, kept making him laugh and always made my son feel as ease during his appointments.
I would highly recommend Craig.

Craig is a brilliant physiotherapist.
His diagnoses are absolutely spot on, making treatment 100% successful. I have had cause to visit him with 3 separate problems in the last year and he has quickly and completely identified and resolved my problems. Totally impressed having used other physios previously without confidence and resolution. No hesitation in recommending.

I went to see Craig after suffering from chronic knee pain for quite some time. Through specific strengthening exercises, treatment and teaching me how to improve my running technique - I am very happy to say the pain has now gone and I'm able to run freely and work out in the gym with no problems at all.

I was struggling with a shoulder pain for months, went to see Craig, after 2 sessions he has sorted the issue! Really knowledgeable and instantly knew what was wrong! Highly recommended, cheers Craig 🙌

I went to see Craig after getting an injury to my calf after years of running. Craig was extremely thorough and linked the injury to other pains I had and showed how they were connected. He gave me exercises to do which gradually built up strength and flexibility. He also helped me with my running technique to increase speed and avoid injury. Within three months I did another 10k and I am now training for a half marathon. Craig provides an exceptionally friendly, professional and effective service. Thank you

I have used Physio Republic, on two occasions for very different issues and would recommend Craig to anyone looking for a Physiotherapy practice. At both initial consultations (a few years apart), Craig identified the problems and provided a treatment plan to manage the problems and prevent recurrence, fully explaining in simple terms the cause and cure.

I would highly recommend Craig to any runners. In addition to Physiotherapy, running is one of Craig's passions and is very knowledgeable and without a doubt would improve any runner’s ability. I found the small changes recommended have made a massive difference of my ability, recovery, and injury prevention.

The bonus is the availability of appointment times, and I found these useful juggling a busy lifestyle and finding a 6.30am appointments to fit around my schedule.

My back pain was getting to the point where it was seriously affecting my job as a fitness instructor and personal trainer as well as my own fitness level. I was nervous when I first started seeing Craig that there was going to be a long list of things I would have to stop doing for my recovery, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Craig quickly assessed what the problem was and as well as showing me what to do to fix it, he helped me to make my classes work for my recovery too. I'm now almost completely pain free and when there is pain (normally caused by me being a bit silly) I know exactly what to do to help it. Craig is knowledgeable and passionate about what he does.

Craig was highly recommended to me by a friend. Within a few minutes of my consultation he had diagnosed the problem with my back pain and then proceeded to realign the offending bone! He gave great advice, with exercises to follow and just a few further treatment/stretching appointments I have been pain free. I continue with the exercises and my posture has certainly improved! Thanks Craig!

After more than 10 years of struggling with shoulder pain and restricted movement a friend recommended Craig at Physio Republic. After an initial session to diagnose my problem he treated me with a combination of manipulation and exercises. Six months on I have full movement of my shoulder and no pain. I would highly recommend Physio Republic!

I went to see Craig for a bike fit last month and found the entire experience very professional and helpful.

As a cycling newbie who has trained predominantly on an indoor trainer for just over a year the world of ‘real life’ cycling seemed daunting but it has been something I’ve wanted to do for years, with my fitness at a decent level I bought my first road bike and had been feeling some discomfort in my right knee and suffered terribly on my right side with saddle soreness.

The thought of a bike fit was nerve wracking but something I knew would be integral to improving and more importantly becoming more comfortable on my bike.

After the initial consultation where Craig asked about my history, we completed a series of tests to discover any discrepancies/areas of concern with my body and soon found out a few issues that lead back to the discomfort I’d been having on my right side.

Once on my bike Craig was very meticulous and explained every step of what he was doing and why, during this first appointment I felt well informed and that the suggested improvements were all achievable with persistence and practice.

Within 3 days of my bike fit all saddle soreness and knee pain subsided and I no longer have any painful rides, on my road bike or indoor trainer and I put this down to Craig and his tenacious tinkering!

Cannot recommend Craig enough, he’s made cycling so much more comfortable - it’s very obvious that he cares about your performance and wants you to be at your absolute best.

If you’re thinking about booking in for a bike fit with Craig - just do it!

3 weeks ago I went to see Craig with pain in my head and neck basically it was a mess mainly due to Arthritis and Bad Posture. 3 weeks on me and my neck are in a lot better place. Movement and posture are greatly improved and with Craig and Ben liasoning I am now set to start easy. steps in the Gym.. My care has been second to none. Always put at my ease and told what was happening and my improvements. Yes I had exercises at home and I was sore but no pain no gain. Craig is a brilliant Physio and a gentleman too boot. I would highly recommend Physio Republic to anyone. I also have follow ups with Craig in a months time too see how things are going. Thank you Craig you are a star.

Craig is an exception physio. He is a highly knowledgeable, true professional that takes a person centered approach to your treatment. Craig's thorough assessment, and attention to detail, look at the cause of any problems and not just the symptoms. Craig gives you a plan to recover from an injury and then goes further by giving you strategies to keep you injury free and improve your running technique. Craig spends time explaining the cause of any problem so you can fully understand what needs to be done to correct it and how to prevent it in the future. His excellent advice has kept me running, improved my performance and kept me sane! I wouldn't trust anyone else! Thanks Craig!

Incredible physio. Craig is professional and so friendly but ultimately he really knows his stuff! I’ve regained full mobility after months of pain. I highly recommend Craig Wilson (physio republic) as a physio. Thank you so much

Highly recommend Craig, my son is 15 and training to be a ballet dancer and had issues with the way his legs were growing. With working with Craig he has managed to resolve all of his problems, the principal of the school quoted that the improvement this last 6 months is nothing short of a miracle!
On top of Craig’s high skill set he also has a thorough understanding of a dancers needs, and I would thoroughly recommend him to any professional or aspiring dancer.

Craig has been fantastic. After over 2 years of suffering back pain Craig worked with me and I'm feeling so much better. My pain has significantly reduced. Highly recommend Physio Republic

An almost Biblical transformation!
I had a neck problem for 3 years before i saw Craig. Despite seeing both my GP and another physio on numerous occasions the problem persisted.
After one consultation with Craig he correctly identified the problem and managed to successfully provide treatment. What was really helpful was his ability to fully explain the problem which then enabled me to correct my posture, which along with the home exercises and one further consultation has now helped to cure the problem.
Thank you Craig !

I have been struggling on & off with ongoing back problems for years. A friend recommended Craig. Within minutes Craig was able to ascertain what was causing my pain and how I could make changes to address the issues. Craig explained simply what was happening, why and what I needed to do. I would highly recommend Craig to anyone seeking a physio

My running took an unexpected nosedive over the summer as I began to get outer knee pain at around 13 miles, which had then drastically reduced to just 6 miles a few weeks ago!

But after just a few sessions with Craig at Physio Republic I was able to run 12 miles without pain, followed by 27 miles during a 6-hour challenge, and yesterday I wiped an incredible 12 minutes off my half marathon personal record.

My running is improving thanks to Craig and I would highly recommend Physio Republic to anyone.

Absolutely fantastic physio. Would absolutely recommend.

To give a bit more detail ... I contacted Craig as I was looking for a physio with experience of cycling related injuries and a physio based bike fit. Having played rugby for may years I've plenty of experience seeing physios to help with injury and rehab. This was slightly different for me as I didn't really know what the problem. Turns out I had a hugely inflamed Ischial bursar meaning I couldn't sit sit on a bike for any period of time. After an initial assessment Craig identified a number of problems which resulted in me being a-symmetric on the bike which ultimately caused the friction on the Ischial bursar. Over the following weeks these were treated but importantly Craig educated me so I understood what was going on physically. I'm now much more symmetric. I have much better hip flexibility. I no longer have any lower back or Achilles pain - both of which I wrongly thought were legacy from my rugby days. I also understand what I need to do to stay this way. As part of my treatment I Craig also gave me a bike fit, altering my position to help symmetry. I now have a better power output and it is 50:50 symmetrical between my right left leg. Craig also gave me a follow up bole-fit which confirmed I haven;t fallen back to old habits.

I am so thankful to Craig. Not only am I back on the bike but generally I feel he has improved my posture and body balance.

I would thoroughly recommend Physio Republic.

I can't praise Physio Republic highly enough. Craig managed to diagnose and fix a horrible ankle problem I've had for a long time and thought I would have for the rest of my running days. The follow-up treatment is proving super-effective at further conditioning, and the extra analysis on my running style has been 100% worth it. I'm sticking to all the recommended changes to balance, foot strike, stride length & patterns and really seeing improved style and performance. And no repercussions on my Achilles - fantastic!
