Hi I am a doctor who has right scitica pain. Started my journey on October 2025 when this first pain episode happened. I followed conservative management analgesia and simple exercise at home . I improved but not 100% then I went for IDP treatment which make my condition worsen. I started late to search for private physiotherapist. I found Ms sports, my condition was difficult as I developed scoliosis. Hamza and his team Ali and palwasha work with me as an effective team. They did their best with me in addition when I have flare up ,they were with me whenever I need them. Eventually my condition didn't improve and I had to do a surgery. During my recovery, I used the excersis that I learnt from Ali and Hamza especially breathing techniques and how to set or stand up. Those excersis are crucial in post op period because the disc need to heal correctly. I am still in the recovery period so my journey still on. I highly recommend Ms sports ; they are professional and experienced enough to deal with my difficult situation. They tailored the management plan according to my situation not a generic one.
Thank you so much indeed.

Great experience with Dr Adan. I highly recommend her service. She has been fantastic in identifying and treating root causes for several injuries I have been carrying. Found all the sessions super helpful and aided my recovery.
Dr Adan demonstrates great knowledge, whilst also being professional and personable. We have been working on a treatment plan that is seeing progress. Would definitely recommend!

Outstanding care, true expertise and genuine results. After years of navigating a complex chronic issue, consulting a GP, a private neurologist, NHS physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors, and massage therapists, I still lacked a diagnosis for chronic pain issues, and often felt like my condition was only ever being managed rather than truly treated.
Zeshan was the first health practitioner who truly understood the underlying root cause of my issue, tracing a series of hip and spine misalignments back to an old ankle injury. Over the course of 8 sessions, we made remarkable progress. My neck and shoulder tension dropped significantly, and my recurring headaches have stopped.
His approach combines hands-on expertise with a home exercise and mobility routine that actually delivers results. If you are looking for someone who takes the time to properly assess, listen and map out a real path toward recovery, Zeshan is exceptional at what he does, I can't recommend him highly enough!

I received direct physiotherapy treatment for my back pain from Dr. Adan Nehal and it was a truly excellent experience. The way she explained what the root cause of my problem is, made me trust the process more. Their guidance and support played a big role in my recovery, and I’m sincerely grateful.

No, you do not need a referral to book with us. You can book directly for any of our appointment types.
Will my insurance cover my treatment?
Cover depends on your insurer and your policy, and some policies need a GP referral first. Please check with your insurance provider before booking.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your assessment. Your clinician will explain a plan, and the likely number of sessions, once they have assessed you at your first appointment.
Which appointment should I book: Physiotherapy or Specialist Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy suits most injuries and pain in a 45-minute appointment. Specialist Physiotherapy is a longer, more in-depth one-hour assessment and treatment. If you are not sure, call us on 0161 243 1168 and we will help you choose.
What is the difference between Sports Massage and Body Reset?
Sports Massage is 45 minutes of hands-on soft-tissue work. Body Reset is a full-body, one-hour session covering the whole body rather than one area. If you are unsure which is right for you, call 0161 243 1168.
What happens at my first appointment?
Every first appointment includes a consultation, assessment, a treatment plan and your first treatment. You leave with a plan to guide your recovery between sessions.
