Your physiotherapist
Personal physiotherapy, built around your recovery.
Adrian Duicu is a senior physiotherapist based in Hoole, Chester, with more than a decade of experience in musculoskeletal care, sports injuries and progressive rehabilitation.
His interest in physiotherapy began with his own recovery from a football injury. Experiencing how the right treatment could restore movement and confidence shaped the personal, practical approach he brings to every appointment.
Adrian listens carefully, explains findings in plain language and builds a treatment plan around the person in front of him—not just the painful area.
“The aim is to help you understand your body, make meaningful progress and return to the activities that matter to you.”
