I have been exceptionally pleased by the quality of service that Joe has provided. He is reasonably priced and very generous with his time and has a knack of providing just about the correct amount of theory to ensure that I am aware of what I need to do and why.

I couldn't recommend Joe highly enough. He gave me good stretches to help me with a pain in my leg and now he's helping me to strengthen my muscles so I'm less prone to injury. He really knows what he's talking about. I recently found out some of my colleagues are seeing him too and they also rate him very highly. Thanks Joe!

I had six weeks to go before a 3-week cycling endurance challenge, and I didn't feel 100 percent. Joe was recommended by a work colleague and listened to my thoughts and fears, and put together a programme that specifically targeted my weaknesses. I should have gone to him sooner, but his programme worked wonders and I completed the challenge. I'd recommend Joe very strongly, and will get in contact again if I injure myself, or plan another endurance challenge. Thanks again, Jamie

Joe is a genuine and knowledgable professional who was recommended to me by a friend. I was so relieved to finally have a solution to an on going condition having received a course of treatment from Joe, which included invaluable advice of how to prevent further problems. I highly recommend Spires Physiotherapy!

Over the years I have had numerous injuries and seen multiple therapists for treatments and I can honestly say that Joe Korge is the most inspirational physiotherapist I have ever met!

Joe is just great - he not only helped me get back to running after an Achilles injury, he also identified the biomechanics issues which contributed to the injury in the first place and gave me an acchievable exercise plan to correct them. He listens, he explains, and he totally knows what he is doing - can't recommend him highly enough. Go and see him!

I am so fortunate to find Spires Physiotherapy. Joseph gave me a thorough physical assessment and was the first to diagnose my problem as being Lumbar Radiculopathy. Joseph also proposed a staged tailored treatment plan to enable me to cope with pain and get me through long days at work and extensive travel. After only two weeks of exercises, I started getting significant pain relief! I am so very grateful to Joseph for (1) taking the time to diagnose my problem (2) designing a tailored exercise programme and (3) explaining what the problem was and how it can be successfully treated without other more serious medical interventions. Joseph has also been a coach as to how I can achieve my personal goals of restored physical mobility, improved energy, ability to continue work and enjoy life. Thank you Joseph!

Joe is a fantastic, professional, understanding and top quality Physiotherapist. Having tried and failed with many other physiotherapists before to help with a shoulder injury, I decided to see Joe, and what a decision. Joe Helped to figure out the actual cause of the problem instead of just treating symptoms. Definitely would recommend to anybody. Thanks for your help Joe

I went to Spires Physiotherapy after a serious skiing injury and months of trying physio elsewhere. As a runner, I wanted to get back on track fast, and only Joe was able to help me identify, address, and resolve my injury. His patience, understanding, and individualized plan was key to my recovery and actually helped me become a stronger and smarter athlete than before. I've been to many physios throughout my sports career and Joe is overwhelmingly the most dedicated to his patient's success. I would recommend Spires Physiotherapy to anyone considering an appointment.

I was recommended to see Joe by my personal trainer due to persistent pain in my lower back. Joe really knows his stuff and quickly identified the problem in the first session and gave me a number of exercises to follow. The improvement was fantastic and after the second session and a further set of exercises, I no longer have any pain. I would be very happy to recommend Spires Physiotherapy.

Went to see Joe about tendonitis in my hip I had for 3 years, I had been to loads of different physios before that made no difference but the exercises he recommended have helped me enormously and I have been able to return to running and going to the gym.

Robert Martin Kelly

Joe is a great communicator and was very helpful in talking me through the root causes of my knee problem. The exercise plan he set me to help resolve the underlying issues was clear and very useful. I am now back to my tennis and have a plan in place to avoid the knee problem arising again.

Joe provides tailored, expert and thoughtful advice and diagnosis. I went as an amateur runner looking for help whilst training for my first marathon, and have relied on Joe's insight as I have transitioned towards taking up running more seriously. Highly recommended!

Joe helped me a lot. He is professional and friendly person. I definitely recommend to do your treatment with him.

I saw Joe for lower back pain post running. He was very thorough to get to the root cause and offered a number of different exercises over a period of several weeks to help strengthen problem areas. His treatment has definitely made a difference and I'd recommend Joe without hesitation.

I was referred to Spires Physiotherapy following a road traffic accident with whiplash-related injuries to my neck, back and shoulder. I found the treatment I received to be both thorough and professional, and hugely beneficial. The exercises prescribed took into consideration my physical limitations, yet challenged me enough to regain mobility at a good rate. I found the service to be informed and engaging. Each time I finished a session I felt noticeably better. What impressed me the most about Spires Physiotherapy was its clear emphasis on rehabilitation. Never once did I feel that my sessions would need to carry on indefinitely, or that the pace of treatment was too slow. Each session was paced well, and I understood the part it played in my overall recovery. I offer my strongest recommendation to Spires Physiotherapy. The treatment I received from chartered physiotherapist, Joseph Korge, was outstanding. I was consistently impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, interpersonal abilities, and compassion. Additionally, his previous experience with sports injuries (for professional sports teams) and his active research status are extremely impressive, and are evident in the high-quality treatment I experienced. An exemplary service. I've started running again, and hope to enter races again before too long!

I came to joe with arm & shoulder issues arising from a number of issues related to work, previous injuries, bad habits and exercising. With only a few visits and following joe’s advice, my body feels better than ever functionally and i’ve been able to get back into a frequent workout routine. Best physio I’ve had, having tried numerous.

I came in with a pain in my shin that I was getting whilst running, a few months before a marathon I had entered. I was expecting a massage to remove the pain and to be sent on my way. Instead Joe took a very proffessional approach and assessed what was causing the pain and how best to combat it. Over a few sessions and months, we built up a gym routine around my muscular deficiencies that allowed me to complete the entire marathon without any abnormal muscular or joint pain. I would (and have) definitely recommend Joe to a friend

Tom Hobson

Excellent! Joe dealt first with my lower back pain and then with a couple of other problems. The treatment and exercises resolved the problem in three sessions. Everything was clearly explained and I had complete confidence.

Howard Riddle

Went to Joe ahead of my first marathon. Before I had even started training he worked out where problem areas might be and designed a stretch/exercise schedule to strengthen these areas. Two weeks before the marathon I suffered awful shin splints and Joe gave me great advice and exercises to do in advance to get me through the day. Post marathon, he helped identify the wear and tear on my body (not just legs!) and I was able to recover fully. Would definitely recommend.

Best service in town! Joe is very experienced and professional. I definitely recommend this Physiotherapy Studio!

I'd recently been to an osteopath and then a physiotherapist for treatment of lower back pain, I was staying in Kent and found local help. I had some relief for a couple of weeks, but then the pain came back even worse. I'd moved to Oxford and I found Joe online. As I was driving to his rooms the pain was so severe I had to stop on the side of the road. He examined me thoroughly and explained that the problem was with a facet joint, he massaged and worked on the area. That was a week ago and since then I've done the exercises he suggested and I've had no pain since. He certainly worked his magic on me. I've been to several physiotherapists over the years and I think he's up there with the best.

For 6 months I had constant pain in my jaw and mouth relating to TMJ. This is a very specialist issue that not many consultants can actually help with. I have been seeing Evangelos at Spires Physiotherapy since May18 and due to the exercises and specialist acupuncture he has given me I have seen tremendous improvements. In particular my facial pain has reduced, but most importantly I’ve gained movement back in my jaw. Before having any treatment I could barely open and close my mouth properly. I would highly recommend booking an appointment if you are struggling with TMJ problems.

Joe is a knowledgeable and friendly physio and has helped me to return to full physical health after a serious ankle break. He is great at creating personalised, goal-orientated programmes of exercises and providing concrete measurements of improvements. Highly recommended!

Elizabeth Bruton

16:54 20 Sep 18

It’s been fantastic meeting Joe and his support has been much appreciated. I feel so much better now. I have suffered from lower back pains for a long time but not only did Joe make me feel loads better, but suggested many excersies to keep me in good condition. I now wake up pain free. Since my first session, I have seen improvements to my stability and strength and this has enabled me to take up cycling and return to weight training. I was recommended Joe via a work colleague and I will be sure to recommend Joe to anyone who requires a physiotherapist in the Oxford area.

I went to see Joe as I had been suffering on and off from chronic neck pain for several years. We had three sessions over the course of a few months. He was able to identify the main causes of the pain and gave me corrective exercises that were manageable but progressively more challenging from session to session. He also gave me advice on how to manage pain following flare ups. Joe was very professional throughout and was good at explaining both the causes of my pain and the reasoning behind the exercises he suggested. I have not had a serious flare up for several months now which is a drastic change from how things were before. I would definitely recommend Joe as a physio.

Tom Hierons

I visited Joe for help with bilateral carpel tunnel syndrome. He was very professional and knowledgeable throughout. I felt that he was interested in the difficulties I was experiencing. I felt listened to. He set up an exercise programme to help with symptom control and was able to advise on suitable easy to use splints. My symptoms are now less of a problem and my night time disturbances significantly reduced. Thank you Joe for all your advice and support.

Ruth Mason

I visited Joe after injuring myself in a personal training session. Instantly Joe was able to recognise that I had signs of SI Joint Dysfunction and assigned me some stretches and exercises that would strengthen my back. Now on stage two of my programme, continuing my exercises and working on areas of exercise that shall strengthen my lower back I have finally been able to ease myself back into the gym after months out! I would be more than happy to recommend Spires Physiotherapy to family or a friend.

Used this guy last year. Highly intelligent and sound advice. The exercise regime fixed my knee and got me back on my bike !

Very good experience - professional and informative. The sessions gave me hope (and strength!) when I was feeling low and in pain after broken collarbone.

Troth Wells

My treatment at Spires Physiotherapy was excellent. Evangelos was great at explaining the issues I was experiencing and helped me work out a feasible and effective series of exercises. He was also friendly and very professional. I highly recommend them.

SOPHIE

12:29 04 Jan 19

Super physio! Joe is very patient, and explains everything really well - both why you're doing a specific exercise and how you should do it. Would join the two people who recommended him to me and recommend him to all (for shoulder injuries, at least!)

Serena de nahlik

10:26 10 Jan 19

I'm really happy with the treatment for my long-lasting lower back pain. I've been going for 5-6 months every 2-4 weeks. Not only I'm now pain free, but I've also been educated on how to avoid getting back pain again in the future. I can't recommend him enough.

Alejandro Cámara

10:36 12 Feb 19

Great physio in central Oxford. We worked on strengthening the right muscles in order to help the recovery from the root cause, rather than just a ‘quick-fix’. Highly recommend

Elizabeth

19:12 18 Feb 19

Evangelos is an excellent physiotherapist: very knowledgeable about musculoskeletal issues in addition to being patient in explaining everything he is doing. He helped alleviate my pain: thru acupuncture, massage and a long term exercise regime. I highly recommend him.

Adelina is so professional! I came to her after one year of lower back pains about which doctors only recommended I'd take pills... Already after the first appointment I felt so much better! Every appointment she added/changed the exercises to fit my situation and my progress. She is very thorough and emphatic; I am not exaggerating in saying she helped change my life!

Dana Perez

22:47 21 Jun 19

I was provided with a very professional help with a pain in my lower back: diagnosis, applied therapy and 'homework'. Highly recommended.

I attended spires physiotherapy after being referred to treat a sprained wrist. The care I received was exceptional was treated professionally. The knowledge my physiotherapist had was outstanding explained in detail about the anatomy and really made a difference to the recovery of my injury. Thank you very much Adelina Flores I will definitely recommend.

Adelina is very thorough and an absolute expert. She has made such a difference to my rotator cuff injury in just a couple of sessions, and has given me some excellent exercises. I will definitely be consulting her again and would recommend her highly to others.

I had been training really hard this year building high intensity running intervals into my training for an Olympic triathlon in July. Only eight weeks before the event as I walked downstairs the morning after a hill set I knew something was wrong and that I needed to see a physio. Following advice from a friend went to see Adelina at Spires Physiotherapy. It was the best decision I could have made. Adelina guided me through rapid but careful rehabilitation and I was able to get back to running and getting a PB in the thriathlon. Through the process Adelina taught a great lot and now I have stepped up my training and improved my performance from a much better basis. Adelina is knowledgeable, professional and caring. But you have to put in the work to get the results ...

Marcelo Bravo

Adelina was a huge help in my recovery from ITB syndrome and lateral epicondylitis; her instructions were clear and easy to follow, and I made rapid progress back to full fitness - highly recommended!

Simon Cope

08:44 25 Sep 19

I was referred for physiotherapy following a broken wrist and ongoing pain and weakness in my hand and joint. I had been struggling with the lack of strength in my hand and was delighted with the exercises and work that Adelina did with me. Together we improved the strength in my hand and I discovered ways to reduce the pain without pain relief tablets. The sessions were fantastic and the 'home work' was a great way to keep me focused and on track between sessions. Adelina even emailed me exercise examples after my session so I could remind myself what movements I should be doing. Overall a great experience and Adelina put me at ease as soon as I began working with her. Thank you!

Eve Whitehead

08:53 11 Nov 19

Having waited too long to get Physio for an ankle injury, I was concerned that it would be of limited success. But Adelina was very good at identifying the cause, and recommending a course of physiotherapy to get me back on track. She is clearly very knowledgeable and professional and made a huge difference. I'd definitely recommend her.

Richard Lloyd-Williams

16:24 13 Nov 19

I had some physio on my jaw - of all places! Really painful, unable to eat well and casing great discomfort - following one session, with some acupuncture, my jaw is now almost back to normal - highly recommend. It was a bit painful at the time, but within 48 hours - I could feel its benefits.

Sian Dear

I saw Evangelos for rehab after a fractured collarbone from a bike racing accident. He was very professional and I was made to feel comfortable on every visit. I saw Evangelos weekly to start with, he gave me different exercises to do each time as I progressed and was always happy to answer any questions I had. I also saw Joe for a running injury 2 weeks before a marathon, I wasn't sure if I would be able to do it but with advice and support from Joe I did complete the marathon. I would highly recommend Evangelos and Joe, they both really know their stuff and gave me a lot of confidence to get back to my sports.

Sarah Strawson

10:17 29 Jan 20

I have been followed and taken care by Andreas. Very nice and professional person. He helped me with some back and neck pains during the last few months. Was able to treat most of them and gave me some useful advice and exercices to keep the pain away. Thanks for the help.
