**Update to previous review** I have now been going to Achieve for over 2 years and I am still as happy as I was with their service. I've come back to update this review as I now see a lovely lady called Alex. I really do see Physio as being a staple and fundamental part of my improved quality of life. I had so many chronic aches and pains and was sick of not being listened to by the usual suspects. From day one I felt that Alex is committed to getting me to a place where I felt both listened to but my body was also moving and acting the way it should. I never thought I would have relief from my Carpal Tunnel symptoms after years of just being told to wear a splint. I now sleep splint free and understand it's probably something else that's causing it. I feel empowered with my health and pain management. I leave super sore but the healing afterwards is amazing. Practically speaking, I find Achieve's communication great, you can often contact your Physiotherapist by mobile and they do all they can to squeeze you in. There is free parking outside, they are good with timekeeping which is great for squeezing physio between lunch breaks or work. Alex's schedule has been very accommodating so I maintain the same appointment day and time and have done for months! I am extremely happy with the service I've received. ******* PREVIOUS REVIEW From the first appointment with Rickie I knew I was in safe hands. The service offered is extremely professional and you are never rushed to get to the point when describing your pain or issue. I had some pain in my thigh and responded so well to the treatment I did not hesitate to return for my plantar fasciitis. I now invest in my body and see this as important for my long term well-being. Thank you Achieve!

For Danielle Tomassi - 12 years ago, I got discharged incorrectly from the NHS system after an ACL reconstruction surgery because at the time, they thought and convinced me that everything was ok. However, as the years went by, my muscles became severely imbalanced, so much so, I had to have operation on my shoulder 5 years later, and even that didn’t fix the problem. Fast track to the present, I had become so crooked that I could feel an imbalance in my feet, ankles, calf, legs, hips, abs, chest, back, arms, shoulders and neck. It become so uncomfortable that it affected not only my physical, but my mental health too in a serious way so I desperately needed help. Thankfully, Danielle is a God damn miracle worker. Not only has he fully understood my body, he has heeled me to such a degree that it feels like I’ve stepped into an exo-skeletal suit and I’m still continuing to improve at rate than I never thought could be “Achieve-able” (pun intended). I’m 32 and I don’t remember ever feeling this physically put together. I’m forever grateful to him as I’ve had certain goals that I want to achieve and I had no possibility of achieving them before this I met this extraordinary, intelligent and wholesome human being. I’m getting emotional writing this because nobody will understand how much he has changed my life and I will forever be in his debt. Thank you Danielle and Achieve.

  • Catherine McN

well, where to start! I took advantage of a free session at Fitness First pre-Covid, and booked a follow up appointment with Rickie in Solihull to look at my on-going, niggling left hip/glute issue. The treatment for my hip/glute/sacral area was very thorough. As others have commented, Rickie takes time to explain what the probable route of the issue is and explains why you have been given this set of exercises. Fast forward a few months - mid-summer, I twisted my ankle badly while running. Again, a thorough explanation of what was happening, exercises to build strength, stamina and giving my ankle time to heel. FINALLY - I think I am somewhat accident prone! - my dog pulled me over and I landed badly on my right shoulder, in the process possibly reigniting (?) a very old injury, which turns out to have been in my lats! Once again, Rickie has provided thorough explanations of what's going on and why, and several exercises to do to help the healing process. I can't recommend this clinic highly enough! Of course, it does also help if you remember to do the exercises prescribed, which I have really tried to do this time.

  • Francesca Tideswell

Highest possible recommendations for seeing Daniele at this clinic. I have suffered with L5-S1 disc herniation pain for 3 years (I was even told I would need fusion surgery) to the point it stopped me doing what I absolutely loved. Dancing! I soon eagerly started my care with Dan and since undergoing regular treatment sessions I can confidently say I am back dancing for hours until my feet start hurting first! Dan is professional and has extensive knowledge of spinal health, he really takes the time to listen and looks at the bigger picture to really understand what’s causing you pain. He has guided me and advised me through some awful moments where I have been unable to walk or even dress myself. I have so much more knowledge myself on spinal health and how to do things safely. I am forever grateful for the care I have received. He really does go above and beyond. Thank you Daniele for giving me my confidence back and for making that awful pain be a distant memory. Don’t hesitate to book in with Dan. He will certainly look after you

PLEASE READ You can see already that this is one of the best if not the best places in the area based on the ratings. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. I have been coming here for almost a year to treat an old lower back pain that left me unable to workout or even run to catch the bus. Last month I ran my first 5K ( a life goal for me that I’ve always wanted to do, thanks to Achieve I did) Rick is a wonderful physiotherapist as well as all his team. Everyone one was very knowledgeable and supportive. I would like to thank them all but especially Rick as he managed to change my mindset about how I perform my exercises. I’m able to think about how my muscles move and if what I’m doing is effective or not. Not an easy thing to explain but he did a great job. We started really basic and advanced gradually with modifications when needed. I highly recommended this place and I’ll forever be grateful to their help. Definitely life changing!

  • R Pattni

Our mother has seen numerous Physio’s, but it is Dr Rick who has helped our mother recover and get healthier. If your parent, child or a family member has an injury that requires “Physio”, Dr Rick is the only Physio you need to see, he is exceptional. Dr Rick’s breadth and depth of knowledge re Physiotherapy, Nutrition, Recovery, Supplementation, Fitness and overall health is vast and unmatched, it surpasses what any GP / Specialist we have had to see in the NHS / Privately. He has access to and knowledge of the finest quality vitamins and supplementation (that which you can’t just buy on the High Street), and we have seen the difference these have made to our mother’s well-being and recovery. He is so experienced and knowledgeable, that we check anything “medical” with him first rather than check with our GP or any Specialist as that’s how incredible he is.

  • Louise Fenton

A great example of an established business being COVID-19 ready. I had my first appointment today with Rickie since Achieve Physiotherapy are able to trade again following lock down. I was greeted by Rickie at the door, he invited me to take a mask and use hand sanitiser which was provided for me. Rickie opened all internal doors so my contact with surfaces was minimised. The treatment couch and 'pillow' were wipeable which gave me confidence in the hygiene of the treatment room. This was the first time I have used a 'service' since lock down and i was a little apprehensive however Rickie put me at ease even when he politely pointed out that my mask was on the wrong way round ! I can say with confidence that Achieve Physiotherapy is definatley Covid-19 Ready. Well done Rickie and team and thank you. Louise

  • Patrick Scott

I visited Jezzie following a recurring back injury from lifting weights. Despite having physio in the past, I found that the injury kept coming back. Jezzie worked out the underlying issue very quickly, began effective hands-on work, and gave me rehab exercises. This was all with a clear focus on getting me back to lifting, which I had not had with my previous physio. She was really helpful, including texting me between sessions when I had questions about my rehab work, and always explaining what she was doing and why she was doing it. I'm now squatting and deadlifting without pain getting close to my previous numbers, and with techniques I can take forward to hopefully stop the injury from happening again. If I ever have another injury, I will be straight back for Jezzie to work her magic!

  • Maxine Robinson

Rick has treated my whole family over the years including numerous rugby injuries which my son has received. He also diagnosed my daughter with a serious problem with her ankle and referred her to a Consultant who carried out major surgery on her foot, ankle and calf. we returned for her aftercare where he assisted in her recovery helping to improving the foot/ankle and her walking gait. I Also had physiotherapy on my ankle following ligament and tendon repairs. Rick has always been friendly and extremely professional and the hands on treatment has resulted in a speedy recovery from all the injuries/operations. We were given follow up exercises to strengthen the relevant areas. I would 100% recommend Achieve Physiotherapy to everyone.

  • Harman Chahal

I injured my Achilles tendon during the May Bank holiday. Jezzie got me in on Tuesday right after when they opened which was a god send as I suffered over the weekend. Rickie worked on the muscle and tendon and advised rest. The next time I was given advice on exercises and a target to hit. 3 months on I've been discharged and I'm able to run again. You hear about having to go to the physio every couple of weeks to have a massage. This is not like that. They work in you and give you targets to hit with exercises so you can quantify your improvement and know what the end point is. As a Brucie bonus my running gait has improved a lot after Rickie's advice! I've already recommended Achieve to a few people Thanks guys

  • Mandy Thompson

I went to achieve physiotherapy to see Ricky in relation to a back injury from exercising. my back kept going into complete spasm I couldn’t walk and and kept collapsing on the floor in pain I managed to get an appointment the same day and saw Ricky he was literally amazing. His knowledge and professionalism was nothing but outstanding but also he’s a genuine nice guy who wants to help people. I only had to see him twice and my back is now 100% better. I would highly recommend using achieve if you have any niggling sports injuries or like me just in agony from something you don’t even know really what you did but without physiotherapy treatment could do some serious long term damage to yourself.

  • Umair Ahmed

If you've been jumping from physio to physio, not able to bag a decent physio, you need to come here! Achieve Health is the best and only physio you need to get rehabilitate your sports injuries. I've been working with Jezzie at Achieve for a number of years for a series of injuries and she has always diagnosed and treated the issue quickly and with precision. I originally came to Achieve to try and treat a nasty running injury. I went to a number of physios who couldn't diagnose the issue, but Jezzie diagnosed and treated it within half an hour. Bonus points with Jezzie is that the banter is elite! TL;DR - If you're out of luck with physios, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed.

  • Ejay Ling

Highly recommend Jezzie! I came to her after injuring my back at work and after about 6 sessions I was good as new, and she also helped me with exercises to do at home to continue strengthening the muscles around my injured area. Jezzie is highly knowledgable about the human anatomy and explained in detail my issue, and answered every question I had and explained if I was confused (I have a basic knowledge of the anatomy after a PT course years ago). I quite enjoyed the talking with her during my sessions, and how she was stern with me if I was being lazy with my exercises. Highly, HIGHLY recommend Jezzie & the team at Achieve Physio!

  • Joe N

I had the incredible fortune of being treated by Jezzie. She’s an exceptional physiotherapist who truly transformed my journey to recovery. With a no-nonsense, straightforward approach, she guided me through muscle strains and old knee injuries, helping me regain my strength and confidence. Her honesty and deep expertise made every session not just informative, but empowering. Thanks to her guidance, I was able to return to my favourite sports activities feeling better than ever. I can't recommend her enough to anyone in the Birmingham area seeking an outstanding physiotherapist who genuinely cares about her patients' well-being.

  • Dareeanne Darkin

I have been going to see Jezzie for a number of years, she has always made me feel comfortable from my very first appointment. Jezzie has given me an abundance of advice and tips to help improve my back aswell as videos demonstrating the exercises I need to do. I am now at a stage where I go to see Jezzie for maintenance as my back has improved so much with the help of Jezzie! If I have any issues or injuries Jezzie will always try to see me as soon as possible! Jezzie loves what she does and you can really tell by the time and effort she puts into her work. I will never see another person as she’s just brilliant!

  • Georgia Komianou

I brought my 8 year old girl, who is a competitive gymnast, due to injuries that she acquired during training. I am very grateful for the excellent treatment and care that she got. The accurate diagnosis, the onsite treatment and the home exercises meant that she was able to return to the gym and continue to perform high impact tumbling activities with confidence and without pain. Both Jezzie and Ricky paid great attention to what my daughter had to say and made her feel looked after. We walked away with some great advise and exercises that will help to support her in her journey as a gymnast. Many many thanks!!!

  • Emma Perry

I started seeing Alex in July 2021 as I'd been in pain for quite some time in my foot. She diagnosed my injury, gave me expert advice, rehab and strengthening exercises each week. The improvement was incredible and quick! I now see her every 6 weeks, more for peace of mind while I train for an ultra, so she can keep me in check and injury free! She is thorough and explains things clearly and has helped encourage me to stay on top of my rehab. I highly recommend her to anyone with any niggles or injuries. I am so glad I went to her as my injury wasn't what I originally thought it was! I wish I'd seen her sooner.

  • Jane Mitchell

My 15 year old son, had been told he had Schlatter's and hasn't been able to play football for the last 6 months. First appointment with Jezzie established he had problems with his quads and hamstrings. He has had 3 appointments and is back playing and training. He has had to carry out some exercises at home but the difference in his ability to participate pain free has been amazing. I can't recommend Jezzie highly enough, she has transformed him! Her straight-talking attitude, knowledge of football and deep tissue massage has returned him to the player he was 6 months ago and we are extremely grateful!

  • Lyn Brown

I saw Beth for an injury on my ankle which was very painful and swollen. Beth was amazing and took the time to understand what had happened and my goals for recovery. She was able to do some work on my ankle in the initial appointment and the next day it felt so much better, the swelling had almost reduced and the pain was significantly lower. She has followed up with a plan for my exercises and how to treat the injury correctly, she has also checked in on me a few times via text. I cannot thank her enough for her help and expertise and have already recommended her to a friend without hesitation

  • gsmarway1

Jezzie At Achieve Health is a godsend. I saw her a few years ago, and have been seeing her ever since! She has helped me get through the toughest of injuries, surgeries, and all forms of aches and pains. Her level of after-care is also superior. She is always patient inclined and wants to do best for them, which she does. She is very knowledgeable and skilled in her profession, knowing various methods to treat symptoms, such as massage, deep tissue therapy, cupping, needles, manual flexion techniques etc. I highly recommend Jezzie to all that require any form of physical rehabilitation.

  • C S

Alex O has been providing physiotherapy to me for the past year and is highly recommended, in summary she is : - Highly professional, sessions always run on time, she listen carefully to your needs and accommodates. - Her technical understanding of the human body is second to none and she applies her knowledge to the best outcomes for your condition. - Each session is tailor made to your needs. - She is patient, empathetic, always smiling and upbeat, even when you are grouchy and not feeling your best. Her contribution to my post cancer rehabilitation has been invaluable. Thank you

  • Valentina Bartali

I was treated by Jezzy for stiffness and a contracture on my shoulder/neck, and it was better after the treatment; she is definitely very good at it. However she then advised me to try and swim again because it would have done me so good; so I did, but it got so much worse! Unfortunately she did not take any responsibility about it. But, luckily, very kindly and professionally Rick offered me to see me again without any charge and I received two complementary massages to try and sort the issue. I am much better now, and I really appreciated the professionalism of Rick, thanks!

  • Prenam Gill

Achieve Physiotherapy is unquestionably the number 1 place to go for physiotherapy... I would personally like to thank Rick. Having suffered from back, neck and shoulder problems, the treatment I received from him was exceptional. I can wholeheartedly say his expertise and professionalism is second to none and is far beyond what many other physios can provide. He provides his clients with a valuable insight of his knowledge and expertise to ensure you get the best treatment possible. I would highly recommend achieve physiotherapy to anyone in need of their services

  • Steve PHILLIPS

After damaging my shoulder in a fall a friend recommended Achieve and I’m so glad they did! Right from the thorough initial consultation when Alex listened to my symptoms and then gave me a clear explanation of the physiology of the shoulder (which gave me a better understanding of what I had done) to the treatment and exercise plan everything has been first class. I have had full support from Alex who has encouraged me to make contact if unsure about anything and adjusting the exercise routine between sessions. My shoulder is fully fixed. Thanks Alex!

  • Emily Chapman

My Physio is called Jezzie, and she’s been a life saver! I’m in full time training as a dancer and had been suffering with an injury for a few months before seeking help. Jezzie helped show me the correct way to help heal my injury and told me other things about my body that correlated to my injury and why it wasn’t getting any better. she’s also such a lovely person and really easy to talk to! I’ve been getting treated by her for a few months and I now have virtually no pain when putting my body through intense training. 10/10 recommend!

  • Anna Manley

After struggling with knee pain for a while, I made an appointment with Jezzie who was extremely friendly and knowledgeable from the get-go. Jezzie made a real effort to help me understand my issue, and from the first session I already noticed a difference. I received acupuncture across a number of sessions, and despite being terrified of needles, Jezzie was very understanding and gentle, making the whole process a lot easier. I would thoroughly recommend Achieve to anyone looking for a professional, yet friendly physiotherapy experience.

  • Mark Woo

Rickie @ Achieve came highly recommended so I booked in for an assessment. Although I went in with knee pain, upon closer inspection I was advised I had incredibly tight hip flexors which was the root cause?! I had a marathon coming up and was worried I would miss it. Rickie was a life-saver. Within two sessions of physio, I was walking pain-free and with the additional stretches and trigger point exercises I was given as homework I made a full recovery within a month and ran a PB!! Don’t think twice, this guy knows his stuff.

  • nicole kite

I worked with Emily to help manage ongoing back and neck issues I’ve had for many years. She was absolutely fantastic. My treatment consisted of in person weekly sessions, plus Emily gave me exercises to compete in between each session. She truly went above and beyond, and even after my treatment finished (due to me traveling and moving) she stay connected to ensure I had all the support I needed to maintain a healthy back. I highly recommend Emily, she’s very good at what she does and she has a lovely energy about her.

  • Paul Mahon

Rick is very professional and friendly, staying up to date with recent research and practice in physiotherapy as well as having a great deal of experience in sport injuries. He helped a great deal with the recovery of my torn hamstring and recommended appropriate exercises for strengthening the muscle again. This is a place where you feel looked after and not rushed in or out as well as taking the necessary time to aid the recovery process. Already have and would thoroughly recommend to anyone in the future. Thank you!

  • Chris Reynolds

I've just completed my second session of physio, having struggled with my right trap, causing me to unable to do any overhead movements in the gym without getting a cranked neck. I've also an issue with my left hip which I had no idea what it was or how to improve. Jezzie managed to make huge progress with my injury's, I now already can feel a lot of mobility in my neck and as a low handicap golfer, I've been able to gain speed through the ball due to the increase in flexibility of my IT Band (Hip Injury)

  • Amardeep Bhogal

Had sessions with Emily for 3 months and she was absolutely top class. Had 2 different injuries (knee and ankle) and we worked through both. Within the 3 months, I’ve recovered from both injuries and now feel much stronger in both joints by the end of the treatment. Not only that, but Emily gave me loads of exercises and mobilisation protocols to use on the joints to increase my strength and stability. To recommend Emily is an understatement, she is, by far, the best physio I’ve worked with.

  • Catherine McGibbon

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to Emily for her help and support in getting me back to full strength. Emily worked with me over multiple sessions on a couple of issues and designed easy to follow exercise regimes that I could easily follow. She has a huge amount of knowledge and explained things in a way that was easy to understand and this has allowed me to work on my recovery at home also. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Emily to family or friends Thank you Emily you are amazing

  • Victoria Farrow

I have been seeing Alex since around July 2022. Despite my own anxiety and lack of faith in my body after multiple injuries during 2022 as well as a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, Alex was undeterred and absolutely determined to get me back to strength again. Alex is very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does, which helps with motivation when the pain of an injury is getting you down. I would highly recommend her! If you want to tackle a goal or get back from injury, go to Alex!

  • kiran razaq

Jezzie has been incredible, I suffered with lower back pain for a number of years and poor posture. It became an issue when I found leaving the car very painful, almost having to crouch out. Jezzie immediately found that the problem was in the upper back. I have been following her routine and found that the pain has disappeared. I have improved posture. I can not recommend her enough! I have recommended her to family and friends who have nothing but incredible things to say. Thanks Jez!

  • M W

Throughout the course of my ankle treatment, Emily the physiotherapist demonstrated a high level of expertise and professionalism. Emily used a variety of techniques to help alleviate my ankle pain and swelling, and improve my range of motion. I was also provided with a clear and comprehensive plan for my ankle rehabilitation outside of the sessions. Thanks to this treatment, I am now back to playing sports 3 times per week. I would therefore highly recommend Achieve Health to others.

  • Ghost

I have been attending Achieve Health for about 6 months after spending over 5 years and A LOT of money trying every treatment and place I could find to help me be pain free and figure out the cause of it. Finally after meeting Jezzie I have a confident understanding of what’s wrong and how to fix it and have seen more improvement in 6 months than the previous 5 years Highly recommend Achieve Health To add I have been treated by Emily too who is also amazing and helped me a lot Adam F

  • Ian

I cannot recommend Jezzie and Achieve Physiotherapy enough! After an initial consultation where Jezzie looked at the causes of my injury rather than just treating the specific injury we set to work on a programme to regain my mobillity and functionality. I am now pain free and able to perform to the levels I have not been able to achieve for years. Excellent value for money, always on time and in a modern premises, Achieve Physiotherapy ticks all the boxes. Thanks a million Jezzie.

  • H Normall

I've seen Jezzie for a few years for an ongoing joint problems. She's excellent, skilled in several physio techniques and acupuncture, the latter of which I've found really helps me. When a joint problem was becoming more consistent, she was able to tell what it was and insisted I get to the docs for a formal diagnosis. Which I did and am now getting steroid injections to compliment the ongoing physio. I've seen a lot of physics and osteos over the years and she's one of the best.

  • Gina Wong

Great experience! I had a very specific pain in my knee for several months, not overbearing but it wouldn’t go away. I attended physio sessions with Rick and in the first session he took many notes, explained exactly what the issue was and identified in-balances in my muscles. He gave me exercises to do at home and also treated my knee during the sessions, including acupuncture which I found particularly helpful. I’ve have no functional pain in my knee since ending the sessions.

  • Ryan Murphy

A fantastic service. I had issues with my ankle/lower leg for a number of years, which the NHS didn't diagnose or treat particularly well. I then tried to ignore and accepted the injury/problem as best I could and just persevere through the pain. I was recommended Achieve by a friend and within a few weeks I was feeling much better. Rickie put in place a 10 -12 week plan and 6 months later I'm currently running pain free over distances I didn't think would be possible. Thanks.

  • Conor Turner

I had a fantastic experience at Achieve Physiotherapy Birmingham. Jezzie is very friendly and a pleasure to work with, she got me back up and running rapidly after working miracles on my injury. The clinic itself is a very pleasant environment, the service is professional and thorough, follow up and rehab programming is also outstanding. Jezzie was highly recommended to me by a number of friends and colleagues with a range of issues and is very worthy of that endorsement.

  • Matt “man” Windle

I'm a professional athlete so trying to remain injury free is of massive importance to me. I started to visit Achieve after a back injury and the results were almost immediate. I've seen Rick several times with niggles and pains and he always diagnoses the issue and helps to reduce the pain before curing it over a period of sessions. He's even helped to reduce the scarring on my face caused from my last contest! I recommend Achieve almost on a weekly basis to someone new.

  • trevor sampson

I found Achieve through BUPA consultant finder and was so pleased I did. As soon as I had my first physio session with Jezzie it was clear that she knew exactly what my issue was. Subsequently her physio sessions and the exercise programme she recommended have made a great difference to the neck rotation issues that I had been experiencing. I would highly recommend Jezzie for her friendly nature, as well as her obvious depth of knowledge and professionalism.

  • Kiran Dhesi

Highly recommend Jezz and I cannot thank her enough for helping me make a full recovery after suffering a knee injury. She diagnosed the issues and problems straight away and provided me with a treatment plan and tailored it when needed. I have been seeing Jezz for the last few months and she has helped me so much getting back to doing my normal activities. She was professional and supportive throughout and has been the best physio I have worked with!

  • Yusuf Hasan Loonat

I’ve been visiting Jezzie coming to nearly two years regarding various injuries and inflamed muscles. She’s provided varying treatments including physio, deep tissue massage, muscle strengthening rehab and acupuncture. She’s the most effective & understanding therapist (thank you for putting up with my screams) I’ve experienced and as a result, I have been able to train injury free for the longest continuous period. Happy to recommend her.

  • Khaled Haidar

I just had my last session with Jezzie at Achieve physiotherapy, and I would like to thanks them for their help. I was struggling with knee injury for 2 months because of football, after seeing Jezzie I just need 4 sessions to get back playing. Special thanks to Jezzie who looked after me and helped me during recovery. Finally, for all players of any sports if you struggle with injury the only place you want to go is Achieve physiotherapy.

  • Suneel Ram

Found this place during lockdown, the only place that was open ! I had an arm and shoulder injury from a little fall in the stairs ! Called midweek and got an appointment on the Friday ! I was in so much pain it was unbelievable my physio Jezzie Sharma I feel did an amazing job on my injury, so professional and caring ! 6 weeks of weekly sessions and all is well ! Wouldn’t have got here without Jezzie ! Thank you so much

  • Neil Dunn

I contacted Rick with a ongoing issue I had with my knee and was so glad I did! After only a few treatment sessions there was a remarkable improvement and for the first time in a quite a while I'm no longer experiencing any discomfort. Rick's personable approach, explaining things in plain English, together with his expertise means I wont hesitate to contact him in the future if I ever require any further treatment. Highly Recommended!!

  • Jolanta Zwiazek

I have injured my ankle during an off road run. Jezzie conducted a thorough examination and after a 30 min massage my ankle was like new. She explained what has happened to the muscle and what I should expect over the next few days. Thesession his was fantastic and I would not hesitate to highly recommend this. Jezzie is a very competent and trustworthy professionals and knows what she is doing. I am sure I will be back at some point.

  • Carly Roome

I went to see Rickie at Achieve Physiotherapy for a hip problem I'd had for quite a while which prevented me from getting below parallel in the squat. After the work Rickie has done, I can now squat below parallel with weight, without pain! I know it will take a while to build that weight back up but I am so grateful for everything Rickie has done to get me back on the mend. I couldn't recommend him and Achieve Physiotherapy enough!

  • Anna Olsson

I've had problems with my upper back and neck for several years due to lots of violin playing and computer work. Having regular physio sessions with Jezzie has really helped relieve my discomforts and she has given me plenty of things to do at home, both to treat the symptoms and to prevent further damage. Jezzie has also been very good at treating my areas of discomfort hands-on which has been a huge help. Highly recommend!

  • Reuvie Barbon

Beth was super helpful with educating me on my lower back problems due to years of playing volleyball. She is professional with an excellent understanding of biomechanics. We covered posture training and through the use of soft tissue massage, myofascial releases and mobility workouts, she has helped me to progress well. I’m looking forward to continuing my rehabilitation journey to becoming pain-free when playing my games!

  • A Khan

Jezzie is an excellent listener who really gets to the root cause of your injury. She identified the source of my pain and after just the first session I had regained almost all of my mobility. I was very impressed by the highly targeted and focussed approach. Her ability to massage and manipulate the muscles and joints is incredible. I would thoroughly recommend her. A brilliant physiotherapist and a very nice person too.

  • Mohammed Zabir

Had a free spinal consultation with Dan. Follow up & was blown away with some of the things he did with the neck & back. Just the full body check up regarding various muscles. Feeling much better health wise & recommending Dan to family & friends. Highly, Highly recommended. Anything to do with ACL's, Muscle or skeletal Dan is the man. Really glad I went for the visit as it has motivated me to look after my health.

Jezzie has been fantastic in helping me get my back and neck problems sorted! She is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and was able to pinpoint my problem areas so quickly and set up the perfect treatment/exercise plan which was tailored to the pain I had and the equipment I had available to me. I've had experience with other physios and Jezzie is the only one I've ever referred friends and family to see!

  • Param Kalsi

I had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Emily Love for my knee injury. Her expertise and dedication were truly impressive. She provided a personalised treatment plan, guided me through exercises, and monitored my progress closely. Thanks to her care, I've made significant improvements in my knee mobility and strength. I highly recommend this physiotherapist for anyone in need of effective rehabilitation.

  • Ben Scott

After going for treatment on a long term shoulder injury, 6 weeks of intensive physio is paying dividends. Rick really knows his craft, he is able to quickly diagnose and easily explain the road to recovery. I am beginning to move my shoulder with confidence and not having to deal with 2/3 days of pain after doing any exercise. I would highly recommend for any niggles or long term issues you need sorting out.

  • Faisal B

Alex from the Birmingham branch is very knowledgeable in this field and was able to see me quickly for a painful pinched nerve pain that restricted my movement. Her diagnosis and physio treatment was spot on and i began to see results of recovery after the first session. I highly recommend Alex for any physio related requirements and wouldn't hesitate to use her again. Thank you Alex. 5 stars well deserved.

  • Wakeem Richardson

I highly recommend that anyone coming off any major sports injuries give these guys a visit . In one month of sessions I had with Emily who is a very friendly and approachable person as well as knowledgeable in her field at Achieve I made significantly more progress with my ankle and getting ready to return to playing sports than I have in the last 8 months of physio sessions I had at other physiotherapist

  • Aisha Ahmad

I had a radial head fracture and had limited movement in my arm. Went to see Jezzie and within 2 weeks I had near enough full movement back. Well worth the pain in the long run, as it meant I was able to return to playing football after 4 weeks! No pain, no gain!! I particularly liked Jezzie’s holistic approach to treatment. Will definitely be going back to see her with any future injuries. Thanks Jezzie.

  • Jack Clements

I was hesitant about seeing someone for my back pain but a friend convinced me to try Dan at Achieve and I’m so glad I did! After struggling with pain and stiffness for months I can’t believe the difference Dan has made in just a few sessions. He’s highly knowledgeable, professional and really friendly to boot. Would recommend to anyone with back issues. Thanks so much for getting me back to my old self!

  • Kevin Adomako

Can’t thank Jezzie enough for the support and advice she’s given me through our sessions. Before being assigned to her, I thought not much more could be done to help my knee that I hadn’t already done, but her expertise proved me extraordinarily wrong and my knee feels better than ever in a while. Overall, she’s also such a great person to interact with so I highly recommend her for your sessions!

  • Duncan Preston

I came to see Jezzie due to a tight knee which was causing me to be unable to sleep due to being stationary too much during lockdown. She worked with me on my knee to release the pain, and whilst we found a secondary injury underneath it, over the course of 6 months I not only was running further than I had in 3 years, but running PBs weekly. I couldn't recommend Jezzie enough - she's incredible!

  • Parminder Kaur

I had Jezzie as my physiotherapist and I can not thank her enough for all the hard work she invested into my recovery. Went in with a knee injury and was expecting to be shown exercises and be sent on my way. Not Jezzie deep tissue massages and also showing me correct ways to exercise to ensure that the injury did not occur again. Thank you so much you have no idea on how much you have helped me.

  • Holly Baker

I am so pleased that I went to Achieve Health physiotherapy for my ankle sprain injury. Emily was incredibly reassuring and provided detailed exercises as well as soft tissue massage so that I was able to get back to running as soon as I was able to. My ankle has fully recovered because of this service and I would highly recommend Emily and Achieve Health to anyone with a sports injury.

  • Rosie Walshe

I had put off going to a physio for a while due to fear of a long recovery process, however, Jezzie couldn’t of been more helpful and professional. She immediately gave me peace of mind that we could tackle the problem and I have seen huge improvements that I didn’t think would be possible this quickly. I 100% recommend if anyone is looking for physiotherapy around Birmingham!

  • Sahra Rehman

Jez is an amazing physiotherapist. She told me what was wrong with me instantly. After doing the exercises she advised me, my shoulder pain has reduced massively. I actually feel like im on road to recovery after 10yrs of nothing working! Her treatment during the sessions takes all my knots out and releases all the tension in that affected area. She is great at what she does!

  • claire georgina

Rick has been excellent with my treatment on my inflammed neck problem. He is very professional and has a fantastic knowledge on physio as well as excellent on the physiotherapy massage. It's great knowing also if I do have any more problems he will see me quickly instead of a long wait for an appointment which is a comfort to know. Thank you very much indeed Rick!!! Sharon.

  • Alice Chitnis

I saw Alex for my sore forearm/wrist/hand that seemed to occur due to overuse whilst my other arm was in a cast. I'd contacted the GPs where I was told to 'rest it' - but 4 weeks later it was just getting worse. Alex was really great at listening and trying to figure out where it stemmed from. A few sessions later and it's feeling so much better. Would 100% recommend!

  • Gill Eaborn

I cannot recommend Achieve enough. Emily Love is a fantastic physiotherapist and as got my back to running after another injury again this year. I broken my 5th metatarsal and chipped ankle bone in February, Emily started me off while some soft tissue massages and some gentle exercises. I was back to running sooner than I expected. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

  • Chris Kendall

Jezzie is a highly experienced physio who has a wealth of knowledge and expertise. I highly recommend Jezzie as a physio, I have been coming to Jezzie over the summer due to experiencing multiple injuries from playing cricket. She quickly diagnosed and provided effective treatment plans that helped me to get back playing again in quick time. Thank you Jezzie.

  • Charlotte Reynolds

After limited advice from the GP for tendonitis in my wrist, I booked in at Achieve after a recommendation from a friend. After just 3 sessions, Jezzie was able to get my wrist back to a good state through a tailored exercise program and thorough treatment. Not only this, but she is highly knowledgeable and very friendly. I would highly recommend to anyone!

  • Clare Walker

Rickie has been incredible help before and following my knee surgery. His help was specialised and cutting edge and helped me avoid a lot of the incorrect instructions I was given by the hospital physio! With his help I am now back to squatting full depth after 6 months, but most importantly more confidently and with better form than before my surgery.

  • Lindsay Hickman

Jezzie is brilliant, she fixed both issues I went to her with last year, and have 100% she has the knowledge and experience to sort any physio I needed. She's friendly and flexible, helped sort out all my questions with the insurance company, was always there to message outside of appointments, would definitely recommend to anyone and do regularly :)

  • Shauna K Rees

The team at Achieve are absolutely fantastic. Rick did a detailed analysis of my injury and explained the issue fully to me, meaning I had every confidence I was headed down the right path. The treatment eased the pain from my injury in a very short period of time and I was given a clear rehab plan meaning I can now get back to training! Thank you!

  • Lucy Smith

Jezzie is extremely knowledgable and professional and makes you feel completely at ease at each session. After trying several other chiropractors and acupuncturists beforehand I had started to worry that surgery was on the cards. After only a few sessions there was a significant improvement and following my last session I feel great. Thanks Jezzie!

  • Aidan France

Jezzie is absolutely fantastic, I could not recommend her highly enough. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable with regard to all physiological/movement problems, quickly diagnosing, treating and providing exercises to remedy them, but she is also extremely personable and friendly. If you need a Physio, you won't find a better one than Jezzie.

  • Alice P

Been attending Achieve for 6 years and have been treated by Rick, Jezzie, Alex and Emily over that time, all have given fantastic care and sorted me out whatever injury I have at the time. Jezzie is my regular physio now - she is incredibly knowledgeable and effective at improving my pain and mobility. Highly recommend this physio company.

  • Barnt Green Social Club

Both my partner Julie Harvey and myself Ian Rawlings, came to see Jezzie at Achieve Physiotherapy. I had issues with my back and Julie had problems with her feet. Within a few visits she had managed to ease our pain and we very much thank her for all her help..... She is a true star ! Thank you so much Jezzie Regards Ian and Julie

  • Sheena McGee

Jezzie has been helping me with a niggly back/neck issue, and has been brilliant. Super knowledgeable, she figured out my issue immediately and explained to me how my posture was affecting my injury. She expertly loosened my muscled off and gave me really helpful exercises to work on at home in a handy app. Fully recommend!

  • Helen McLeodJones

I tore my calf and the treatment from Jezzie was fantastic. She not only treated the injury but corrected my running technique and helped with wider rehabilitation. I'm now running faster than before I was injured. Very professional, covid secure treatment. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jezzie and Achieve Physiotherapy.

  • Marvin Miu

Rick and his team are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I had been plagued by a lower back injury over the years but following the treatment and rehabilitation plans set forth by the team, I am able to move freely and get back to squatting again in the gym. Getting treated at Achieve Physiotherpay is a no-brainer!

  • Samantha Allen

I’ve been seeing Jezzie on and off for 3 years and she is amazing. She’ll always find space in her diary to see you if it’s urgent and tell you when you don’t need to see her! She’s treated numerous sports injuries and a trapped nerve and will also offer help and advice over text! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough

  • E Cooper

I've seen Rickie for a few sessions on my torn calf muscle and he has worked wonders. He was able to quickly pin point the exact problem area and through deep tissue massage techniques drastically improve my mobility and speed up the healing process. Would most definitely recommend his services without hesitation.

  • Rouj Sarhadar

Emily fixed my ankle! After injuring my ankle in football and believing it would never be the same again, Emily provided me with high class treatment to get me back to a 100%. She was very helpful and supportive throughout the journey. I would highly recommend Achieve to anyone and everyone! Thanks again Emily!

  • ciaran connaire

I went to see Jezzie with numerous problems in my neck, lower back and legs. With in a matter of weeks I was back to full fitness. She was able to diagnose where I was going wrong in parts of my training to prevent the same problems reoccurring. I’d recommend Jezzie and Active physiotherapy to anybody!

  • Zain Qayum

I’ve been seeing Emily for around a year now- always provides a good service and very thorough with her instructions, providing resources and exercises to carry out in my own time . Shes also very approachable and has been accommodating for my various injuries. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

  • Andrea Hodgkinson

I was recommended Achieve Physiotherapy by a friend and was pleased they did! Jezzie was brilliant and very knowledgeable. She sorted out my neck and also gave me some good tips on my posture and how to stop the problem coming back. I felt amazing after each appointment. I would highly recommend her.

  • Gavin Singh

The first time I saw Jezzie I was in excruciating pain and was in a lot of physical and psychological discomfort. I am hugely grateful for her treatment as I am now back in the gym and feel so much better from a mental health aspect. Would highly recommend her professional and outstanding treatment.

  • Kam Rai

Emily was very professional and broke down things for me in a way I could understand. Her massage techniques were very beneficial and it helped that she made videos for demonstration purposes as well as sending notes as guidance if a new exercise was introduced. Thank you for your patience Kam

  • sadhvi pahwa

Jezzie has been one of the most skilful and talented physiotherapist I have been to. She listens to you and makes a very sensible diagnoses, she gave me the best massages ever that really improved my back aches after so long and gave me a great exercise plan with proper videos to follow.

  • I H

Highly recommend! Rick helped with an injury that had hindered me for months. Always happy to explain the science behind your treatment and the exercise demonstrations were great. Hope I never have another injury that requires physio but would not hesitate to return if I did.

  • Héloïse Meziani

The best physiotherapy practice in Birmingham, I would recommend to anybody with long term pain. I had a very bad experience with the NHS before for my lower back pain and Rickie and Emily have been life savers! They are knowledgable and achieve real results! Very impressed

  • Thomas Lines

Been suffering a recurring running injury for some time before coming here and wish I had done sooner. Best physio’s I’ve ever been to, they actually listen and figure out the source of the issues instead of just saying “stretch more” like others I’ve seen. Very impressed

  • Kye Riley

I saw Emily for a number of weeks and her service was fantastic. I had a horrible shoulder injury and was in pain until i took some physio work with her. We had some great conversation and she made me feel comfortable. My problem is solved. I would highly recommend!

  • Christopher Johnstone-Law

Highly recommended! Alex is always a huge help, my neck and back feel far better every time I visit. She has taught me so much with how to help the muscles when at home and before gym. Very friendly and always enjoy having a good conversation, best of the best!

  • J Atkinson

100% recommend Alex at Achieve. She’s helped me so much over the course of a year with a multitude of issues in my foot. Amazing to finally be pain free. Once you go to her you’ll never use another phsyio. 5 stars but would give more if I could! Thanks Alex

  • Jichao Bai

My physical therapist Alex is amazing!! A huge thank you to her! I’ve broken my elbow 8 weeks ago, since then I have been seeing Alex regularly. Now I’m able to do some bouldering again. Alex is very professional and very encouraging. The price is fair too.

  • Patrick McNamara

My experience with Achieve has been very possitive and i have found the treatment to be very beneficial. I was treated by Emily who was very informative as well as professional and friendly. I would use this service again as well as recommend to friends.

  • Kate Pemberton

I injured my shoulder and was put in touch with Achieve through a friend. We did a remote session because of my distance from the centre. Jezzie was brilliant and gave me some exercises. Really sorted my shoulder out and I'm ready and raring to go again.
