My quality of life today is 10x what it was

"Over 10 years and three ankle surgeries, I struggled with worsening pain—from my ankle up through my hips, shoulders, and neck—plus digestive issues that stumped doctors and PTs. Nothing worked until I met Dave. His deep expertise and relentless work ethic stood out immediately. He pinpointed weaknesses, built a tailored program, and adapted it as I improved. What truly set him apart was his unwavering belief in the process, which kept me going through setbacks. My quality of life is now 10x better. Thank you, Dave—I’m incredibly grateful."

If I could give 10 stars to Denzil I would

"Not only he is a great physiotherapist in terms of exercises and plans, but his humanity and deep understanding of the psychological burden carried by people with chronic pain is unparallel. I have never come across anyone with such empathy and patience to make me overcome my fears, and I have been dealing with pain for 15 years and saw any possible doctor out there in multiple countries. He helped me immensely during a period of great pain and stress and I would not be where I am now if it wasn't for his help and support."

Results Beyond My Expectations!

"I contacted Atherapy with a long term shoulder problem, which had became much worse with recent Injury. They wasted no time assessing the issue, sending me for a scan and then recommending a superb surgeon. The estimated recovery timeline was reduced with the energetic and comitted approach from James. I would highly recommend Atherapy, I would certainly return for future support.!"

Transformed My Life Completely!

"I’ve been going to Atherapy for the past 6 months now for both an AC joint shoulder and Achilles tendon injury. I honestly could not recommend a better physio. We sat down day 1 and set out my goals and put a plan in place and got back to full fitness ahead of schedule. I’ve seen multiple physios over the past 3 years for chronic shoulder pain and he was the only person to fully address the source of the problem rather than just alleviate the pain. 10/10."
