I can’t recommend Adrian highly enough. He first helped me recover from a hand injury and a barbotage procedure after calcium deposits were discovered. Six months later, I broke my leg, and once again he was there to guide me through my recovery. What I really appreciate is that he doesn’t just help you recover, he teaches you how to look after your body and improve your fitness with small, manageable daily exercises. His patience, knowledge and encouragement have made such a difference, and I’ve seen great results. I’m very grateful for all his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable and dedicated physiotherapist.

I can’t recommend Adrian highly enough. After picking up a few issues that were affecting my running and cycling, Adrian worked with me to get my legs and body back working properly and, most importantly, got me back on track. Adrian’s knowledge, attention to detail and hands-on approach have made a massive difference. I’m now able to get back to running and cycling with much more confidence, and I’m preparing for my 50 mile run knowing my body is in a much better place. If you’re struggling with an injury, niggle or just want to get your body moving properly again, I’d definitely recommend giving Adrian a visit. Great treatment, great advice and a real understanding of what it takes to get you back doing the things you love.
Five stars are not enough for the incredible care I received here! After completing an intense motorbike journey across 12 countries, my back and arms were in desperate need of recovery. From the very first session, the results were virtually instant. Adrian used a highly effective combination of deep massage, physiotherapy, acupuncture, and targeted stretches that brought immediate relief to my stiff and aching muscles. What set the treatment apart was the customised exercise plan provided afterward, which has drastically improved my condition and kept me pain-free. If you are a rider or anyone dealing with severe physical fatigue and strain, I cannot recommend this physiotherapist enough. Professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely life-changing!

Professionalism at its finest! Mr Duicu not only successfully treated my ailments yet he carefully took the time to explain why they occur and how to prevent them in the first place. Altogether a very pleasant experience which summed up to a more enjoyable physical activity and overall improved daily life.

I cannot recommend Adrian highly enough. He is fully committed to helping you get better and supporting you throughout the recovery process. When I first came to him, he helped me achieve what others before him couldn't. He has helped me recover on other occasions since through his brilliant combination of therapy and exercise plans to build strength and flexibility. Adrian is a true professional and incredibly kind and pleasant person who genuinely cares about you and your recovery.
