The team are brilliant from Reception to the Physio’s. I would highly recommend. Thanks Michael and all for the great communication and treatment😊
Daniel has been great in regards to his treatment of an injury and provides a common sense approach that is backed by his knowledge and expertise.The new rooms and pilates studio is modern, clean and the exercises are functional and varied. Highly recommend.
Michael has helped me get back my mobility due to problems with my feet. Prior to that i had treatment post a total knee replacement... Michael is an incredibly skilled physiotherapistAnd I would totally recommend his services as a physiotherapist.
From the outset, Michael conducted a thorough assessment of my injuries, taking into account my medical history and personal goals. He then designed a comprehensive rehabilitation plan that not only focused on pain management and mobility but also emphasized strengthening and functional recovery. His approach was holistic, addressing both physical and emotional aspects of rehabilitation. Throughout my sessions, Michael demonstrated a remarkable ability to motivate and encourage me, fostering a positive environment that made the rehabilitation enjoyable! His hands-on techniques, combined with evidence-based practices, significantly improved my range of motion and strength, allowing me to return to my daily activities with confidence.
Have always had a positive experience at Frontier Physiotherapy! Daniel & Michael are extremely knowledgeable, professional and thorough in their treatment. Couldn't recommend enough
I injured my foot, and was finding it increasingly painful to walk. Michael explained it all to me, gave me exercises to do. He was very patient, answered all my questions, and I recommend him highly. He's also very approachable and he cares. Thanks Michael.
Such a great team. Michael has been amazing. I didn’t think I would regain full function again but he got me back on my feet. I’m now back to work in my normal capacity. I have been treated for several issues and would highly recommend. Always has great advice.
Michael is a very skilled physiotherapist.I have experienced considerable pain relief and excellent advice regarding suitable therapeutic exercises.
Micheal is truly amazing! He is very knowledgeable about how your body works. Micheal is very understanding, caring and super friendly and very helpful in office and at the gym. I highly recommend Micheal to anyone that has constant chronic pain. Micheal has been helping me since January’24 and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Do not hesitate to book appointment.
Have always had a positive experience at Frontier Physiotherapy! Michael is extremely knowledgeable and is very thorough in his treatment. Couldn't recommend enough!
Exceptional professional service given by both Michael & Clare. Would certainly recommend their expertise, knowledge & friendly manner to anyone who needs Physiotherapy. I benefitted greatly & am now on my way to optimal recovery following a hip replacement.A grateful patient
Had to get physio done on a shoulder injury and found Michael to be absolutely wonderful. Explained everything he was doing and also the injury. Would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a physiotherapist.
Very happy with the treatment I received. The sessions were tailored to my issues and by doing the few simple exercises helped me to over come my issue.I was surprised at how quick my issue subsided as I had been told previously by another practitioner that the issue was more or less a permanent condition I would have for life.
I have found both Michael and Claire to be very professional and helpful. They are polite, considerate and proactive in developing preventative strategies as well as healing injuries.
After 15yrs of pain in my back and more recently my hip I was sent to yet another physio. Not expecting any relief as past physio never helped at all. But I can honestly say that after going to see Michael for the first time in those 15yrs I am pain free. I highly recommend Frontier Physiotherapy and can't thank Michael enough
Michael was great, very knowledgable and friendly. Corrected my old body sports injury without fuss, couldn’t recommend more!
Michael's knowledge of the specifics around my injury and subsequent treatment have been impressive. Finally a physio who seeks to understand intently, and aims to treat the issue/s without placing me in a continual holding pattern of visits. Highly recommend Michael.
I strongly recommend Michael to everyone - he is second to none. He is a kind and patient physio who always provides professional and caring advice whenever I ask him. Michael has a super friendly bedside manner and always puts me at ease.There was a noticeable difference from my very first session with Michael, where I could walk faster with less pain.I understand that it will take time for my knee to heal and strengthen, and I am confident that following Michael's instructions will lead me to recovery.Thank you so much !
Michael was very credible in his knowledge and experience in dealing with my issue. He listened to my concerns initially and set out a plan for me at the end of the session. He demonstrated the exercises and gave me good feedback when I practiced the exercises. I found the sports massage very beneficial. Thank you.
After my back injury I needed physiotherapy to help me to recover and was very fortunate to end up with Michael.His professional knowledge and conduct are second to none and I can’t praise him highly enough.
Michael has always provided an amazing and educational experience. I'm sure if it weren't for him I'd be struggling to pick up my son due to lower back issues.
Michael Grey is one of the nicest gentleman and skilled physiotherapist I’ve had the good fortune of findingI have struggled with shoulder bursitis and tendinitis for the last few years and have had treatment from multiple physios however Michael is the only one who has kept my back and shoulders in check not only has his treatment been amazingly affective it’s also his educated opinion and advice that is extremely reassuring the exercises he prescribes target the problem and help to strengthen and resolve pain and discomfort.You’re not going to find better then Michael gray! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Warm welcoming environment, treatment was always encouraged with enthusiasm and positivity, fully recommend.
I’ve had a number of complications and i’ve tried many things to assist. Michael is very knowledgeable and i’m glad i’ve come across someone who can help with good results.
My surgeon specifically recommended Michael for my rehab after needing surgery on my foot. He was fantastic in helping me with my rehab and getting me back to muay thai.
I would highly recommend Michael at Frontier Physiotherapy. I had been to numerous other physio's and found that some didn't even know about my condition let alone how to treat it. Michael knew exactly what to do straight away. He's helped me get back to doing so many of the things I previously couldn't do.
Could not recommend this place highly enough! I had been to three other physios before seeing Michael for my back pain and none of them were able to figure out what was causing my issue. Michael actually took the time to properly assess me and get to the root cause of the problem. Now I'm back in the gym and have been pain free for the first time in years.If you have an issue, ask for Michael!
Can’t recommend Michael enough. I’ve seen him for numerous injuries over the years and he has always kept my recovery on track.
Michael is the best physio I've ever seen. He fixed my back in a few sessions after spending years with another physio. He is extremely knowledgeable about all types of injuries and was even happy to stay back after hours to accommodate my work schedule.

Our Physiotherapy Service
Your personal physiotherapist will begin with taking a thorough history of your condition and will gather as much information as they need to figure out the best plan for getting you better. Next, your therapist will perform a comprehensive evaluation of functional limitations and areas of pain. This will help our therapists design a treatment plan based on your needs and goals.
The vast majority of patients will also receive some homework in the form of stretches, exercises or mobility drills to further assist their recovery. These are very important so make sure you do them! Any consumables/wearables that you will need to perform your home exercise program such as compression stockings, Tubigrip and TheraBand will be provided to you by your therapist during the session.
Some patients may also benefit from further strength and conditioning as part of their recovery. At Frontier Physiotherapy, we work closely with many commercial gyms and have access to their full-size commercial gyms for all your rehab needs.
Additional Physiotherapy Service
In addition to our usual physiotherapy practice, we also provide additional services which include:
- Acupuncture & Dry Needling
- Home Visits
