I came to see Riz about 5/6 weeks ago after experiencing pain in my kneecap. I'd had the pain for around a month or so at that point, and while it wasn't excruciating pain it happened whenever I worked out or walked up/down stairs. I initially thought it would just go away on its own but it didn't so I researched physio's in Manchester, came across Matrix Physio and decided to book an appointment because the reviews were all so good - and honestly rightly so. I initially had a phone call with Riz who went into a little bit of detail about what my diagnosis could possibly be, and then I booked in for an hour appointment, where he diagnosed me with Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome. Riz explained this condition in a way that I understood it, but also in great detail. I had two 1 hour sessions a week apart, after the 1st session my pain was so minimal and then after my 2nd session the pain had gone which I couldn't believe! I also had a follow up 1/2 hour appointment a month later to check everything was ok. I fully understand what caused my pain, I won't hesitate to go back if I ever have issues with it again and I'm so glad I have discovered Riz. He's such a nice guy, is so knowledgeable in this area and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of physio. His clinic is of a really high standard and you can tell he really cares about his patients too as he checked in on me a few times between appointments. If you're reading this wondering whether physio will be worth it or if you're debating leaving it and hoping the pain goes away on its own - just book the appointment! I'm so glad I did, and I haven't caused myself further damage by leaving it. Riz's methods mean that you will spend far less here than another clinic where you may spend less per appointment but more overall as you will need so many more sessions. Honestly its completely 100% worth it.

  • Kayleigh Drake

Over lockdown, I began running and this triggered a pain in my left hip. As lockdown lifted, I booked to see Riz at Matrix and he immediately recognised a hip instability, which is an issue I've had previously and had physio for back when I was dancing. He gave me exercises that I could do before the gyms opened up and since they have, we have adapted these to be exercises I can do in the gym before I start my workouts. These add about 10 minutes to my leg days, but ensure I am engaging the right muscles and not relying on my hip flexors. I stopped running when I started physio, but about a month and a half in I was given the all clear to start doing shorter runs again and I've managed to do a couple with NO HIP PAIN! It's such a great feeling and Riz has been brilliant from our first session, he really took into account my lifestyle and injury history and I have noticed a huge improvement in the exercises he gave me over the last two months. In terms of Coronavirus, there are hand sanitisation points at the entrance and Riz wears a mask throughout, your temperature will also be checked at the door. They have definitely done everything they can to make it as safe as possible for their physios, including doing 1hr appointments instead of 30m ones after consultation, to decrease the amount of contact they have with patients. This has worked out slightly cheaper and I honestly can't recommend them enough!

  • Anna O'Connor

I first came to Matrix Physio without knowing what was fully wrong with my knee, as those around me hadn't been able to fully gauge my symptoms. I signed up for sessions with Nico Nyemba, who specialises in sports injury including ACLs, and within one session felt validation and concern for the symptoms I had been showing for the previous weeks. He talked me through the possibility of having an ACL injury with care and support for the emotional challenges around that possibility. While starting initial rehab for my knee, Nico also encouraged me to get an MRI, which did ultimately show that I had a full ACL rupture and Meniscus tear. After the diagnosis and talking through the idea of surgery, it was full steam ahead with a really involved plan for pre-hab to make recovery after my operation easier. Now, two month post-op, attending sessions at Matrix Physio under Nico's instruction are building my confidence incrementally each day that I will be able to get back to sport and my injury will be behind me. The practice really is the perfect mixture between medical expertise and personal training, as I am pushed physically without the anxiety that what I am doing in this recovery phase is unsafe. I highly recommend coming to Matrix Physio and Nico specifically, no matter which phase of your injury or recovery you are in. Professional, kind, and highly involved.

  • Chris S

I have been seeing Riz and his colleagues regularly for around 6 months regarding a number of complex hip and hamstring related injuries arising from running. Riz and his team coordinate with my surgeon so that I always have a joined up approach to treatment. As a patient with a number of complex problems that have required both physio and medical intervention, this joined up approach has been invaluable and goes above and beyond the service one would ordinarily expect. Riz and his team have a thorough understanding of the biomechanics behind my various injuries. The benefits of this are two-fold. First, it means that I leave every session with a proper understanding of what is going on, which ought to assist longer term, once I am discharged. Second, it also means that, when setbacks happen during rehab I know that I have a go-to team, who I can trust, to discuss why things are happening and how we tackle them. Having this high level of trust has been critical to both the physical recovery and maintaining a positive attitude through a complicated return to fitness. Overall, I cannot recommend Matrix highly enough.

  • Ahmed Bilal

After my achilies rupture surgery, I was eager to find a physiotherapist with experience that can help with my rehabilitation. As i was an active person, I was looking for someone that will treat me as such. Thats why I decided not to wait and go private. After having chats with a few, Riz from Marrix stood out with a great positive attitude that got me excited about getting back to normal. His experience was evident from the start, with massive improvements just after a few session. The program feels tailored to me and I feel progress after every session. Its been 10 weeks since my surgery and 4-5 weeks since I been seeing Riz and I am already back into my normal walking shoes, walking (still with limp) and doing leg exercises. While I know others wouldn't even be out of the medical boot yet. We are still working but I am more than happy with the progress we have made, my quality of life improved a lot and i feel that I am closer to getting back to normal. I hope this review helps others as I know how it feels like to search online and not being sure who to go with. Couldn't recommend Matrix more.

  • Dean Mckinney

Best in class. Without providing too much of a beatdown on other practitioners, I'd recommend committing to the process with Team Matrix and not waste time & money with cookie cutter treatment elsewhere. Also practicing with integrity - i.e. when you're ready to be "signed off" you get the go ahead as opposed to tactics to keep you "on the books" I have been working with Riz for the past few months on a plethora of things which he has been treating in tandem - post meniscectomy surgery rehab, injury prevention re recurring lower back issues & a shoulder impingement flare up. I've been given the tools, principles & education from the sessions with Riz to be confident in remaining injury free from hereon, whilst pushing forward with performance. Riz is hands on, progressive, practical and clearly an expert in his field having worked/working with high performing athletes and translating this to every day people. Can't recommend the team highly enough,

  • Nikki Koudis

I have been attending the Matrix Physiotherapy Clinic for a few months now and working alongside Riz for my back pain. Not only have I seen an improvement in the short time that we have been working together (after a year of pain I can now sleep at night without painkillers!) but I also have hope that things will continue to improve. Riz has equipped me well with knowledge on how I should train to strengthen and avoid any flare ups of pain. In addition to the excellent advice on training, he is well equipped with knowledge of anti-inflammatory medication and immediately advised I change from the medication I had previously been prescribed which really helped my progress. The hands-on work has also really helped to loosen me up and I always leave the session feeling a lot better than when I arrived. The atmosphere is extremely friendly and welcoming and I really enjoy my sessions- I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough! Thank you Riz!

  • James Philipps

Having visited several less accomplished physiotherapists over the years, I can say that Nick is head and shoulders above all of them. In our first session he demonstrated extensive knowledge as he thoroughly assessed my multitude of joint and tendon problems and, with his help, I even managed to regain most of the mobility in my shoulder within an hour. In the following sessions we followed a tailored, constantly adapted program in the gym to strengthen and rehabilitate my muscles and balance, with Nick videoing me doing the exercises and sending them to me on WhatsApp so I could track my progress. Even though we are only a few sessions down the road to recovery I'm already feeling like there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I have full confidence in Nick to get me there. As the final cherry on the cake, he's a really nice guy and makes battling through the exercises much more enjoyable. Absolutely no hesitation in giving 5 stars!

  • Oliver Wileman

Following consultations & MRIs with industry healthcare professionals, I was told that I should perhaps look to 'give up' sport at the age of 25 if I wanted an effective pain management strategy with no realistic route to recovery on the horizon. This all changed when I was recommended to Riz. Upon initial assessment Riz believed (& therefore made me believe) that I could indeed make a full recovery & have a fully functioning & sports-fit shoulder once again - something that I had resigned as unachievable. Over the following months, through working with Riz via rehab sessions, planned exercises, a revamped gym routine & hands on treatment, the functionality I now have within my shoulder has even surpassed my expectations; and we're not done yet. I'd recommend Riz & his services to anyone in a heart-beat. The improvement that I have gained from a quality of life & sporting perspective is genuinely life-changing - thank you.

  • Nikos Ntounis

For a number of years I have been spraining my right ankle at least twice a year, but after suffering a grade 2 ankle sprain, I thought it was finally time to seek a specialist's help. After reading a number of reviews I decided to go to Matrix Physiotherapy, and immediately after the first session I was able to move a lot better. Riz not only took care of my injury but explained thoroughly the reasons why this injury kept on happening. Over the next month, Riz would not only attend the injury but would also provide expert advice and a rehabilitation plan for my ankle, in relation to the sport I play (basketball). Now after 4 very productive sessions, I am able to move just as well as before, but I also gained invaluable knowledge about how to train and what things to consider while doing that so that I would prevent further injury. I could not recommend Riz and the team at Matrix Physio enough!

  • Radhika B.Hari

I started seeing Riz at Matrix Studio about a year ago when I moved to Manchester. I had a preexisting injury in my hip caused during running but hadn't found a relief for years whilst living in the Netherlands. I had a new round of MRI scan and a recommendation of keyhole surgery from doctors in UK. But thanks to Riz I am able to manage my complaint with rehabilitation, regular exercise and guided physiotherapy. Riz took my complaint very seriously and attended to it in a professional manner. I was extremely fortunate to be under care of his expertise. He brings a holistic approach to his practice helping me understand the problem and accommodate the rehabilitation to my lifestyle. I would gladly recommend Riz and Matrix studio to anyone who is struggling with Musculoskeletal issues. It is rare to find such dedication and expertise under one roof.

  • Michael Letki

Having had quite serious pain behind both of my knees for a number of years, it was time to seek assistance from a physio, having never used one before I was extremely dubious – From the very start Riz’s assessment was thorough, giving me a full MOT. After diagnosing what might be the problem, he came up with a clear programme of how we would resolve the issues. Utilising a number of different techniques and procedures, Riz has fully healed me, and I can quite honestly say that I am astonished with the results. I now have full mobility in both knees, with none of the cramping or pain that I previously endured… Riz truly is a magic man!! The Gym/studio has great facilities that allow a full workout and also clean, modern washrooms for after your session..I would highly recommend the team to anyone looking for a 1st class service!

  • Jack Davy

Áine has been fab, her advice has been properly tailored to my injury, lifestyle and ongoing sports. Over the last few years, I have seen Áine to rehab two lots of achilles tendinopathy, inflamed knee bursa and a (nearly) broken wrist. Her advice and exercises have always been tailored to maximise my recovery. Crucially, she sees the recovery process as not just no longer being in pain but being able to return to normal life and sport. As a keen triathlete and ultra-runner with a bit of rock climbing thrown in, it is really important to me that this is considered. It is helpful to have the gym right there, so you can demo the exercises and get photos or videos of the rehab exercises. She has a wide range of techniques available so if TENS, acupuncture or massage is what you need, this is what you'll get.

  • Charles Duckworth

I had a fantastic experience with Riz and the team at Matrix - I've experienced long term knee and hamstring pain, especially when hiking but also whenever I was walking for more than an hour or so - with a multiday long distance hike coming up I felt I had to take measures to get this injury fixed and approached Matrix Physio. After my first session with Riz I felt that he truly understood the root cause of the issue and would put the right programme in place to fix it. Riz developed a 3 month rehabilitation plan that meant that by the time I went on that long distance hike I experienced none of the debilitating pain that I had suffered from before. I can't recommend Riz and Matrix physio enough - the support they have given me has been an absolute game changer!

  • Abbie Thompson

If I could give Nick more than 5 stars I really would! I would highly recommend Nick and Matrix physio to anyone needing physiotherapy! After seeing many physios over the years, Nick is by far the best. He spends his time understanding the issues, has a huge wealth of knowledge in his field of expertise and is very encouraging and enthusiastic. You can tell he is passionate about his job and loves what he does. Since I started seeing Nick for physio after surgery, he has helped me to regain strength in my leg and ankle even more so than I had before the surgery. Nick has helped me to regain my mobility in my ankle and the difference and improvement in just over 5 weeks is great! Nothing is ever too much trouble for Nick. His treatment has been exceptional.

  • Amy Lewis

I went to see Áine and Pete at Matrix after a horse riding accident left me with several serious injuries. The NHS physios said I would be permanently disabled but I was not willing to accept that diagnosis. I worked with the team at Matrix for 9 months, gaining back movement, strength and fitness slowly but surely. They supported me physically, mentally and emotionally through the darkest days of my life - celebrating victories with me as I learned once again to wash myself, dress myself, feed myself, write, type, cook, drive - and ultimately, get back on the horse. I credit them with giving me my life back and I don’t know if there can be a better recommendation than that. I will never be able to thank them enough for what they did for me.

  • Jai

I have been working with Riz for the past few months and I can honestly say, that he has been brilliant every step of the way. The initial appointment was incredibly thorough and his diagnosis was detailed and concise. Riz is incredibly knowledgable, he doesn’t rely on convoluted explanations or word salads which is incredibly refreshing. This exemplifies his deep understating of biomechanics and physiology, as he is able to offer you a simple and easy to follow explanation without heavily relying on using the Latin name of every muscle, or unnecessary physio jargon. I was given a detailed rehab protocol with exercise regressions and progressions, mobility work and accessory work. Would highly recommend 10/10

  • Musa Ning

Went to Matrix Physio to start my rehab after a shoulder and ACL surgery and it's getting better each session. I have been working with Pete for the past few months and have seen major improvements. My strength and flexibility has never been better since joining Matrix. Pete is an absolute legend, he is super easy-going, professional and knowledgeable. He clearly shows each exercises in detail to ensure I understand and can easily answer any questions. Also, he makes the rehab process so much more enjoyable. I can also say the same thing about Riz. I can't thank both Pete and Riz enough. The team in Matrix Physio are all amazing. Definitely the best Physio in Manchester without a doubt!

  • Andreas Michael

I’ve been working with Nick for around 4 months, he is a very knowledgeable, caring and understanding therapist and a overall top guy! From my first session with Nick he took the time to understand my injury, and my concerns. I came to Nick because of long term lower back issues. In my first session, Nick worked to find the root causes of my symptoms and from there created a exercise/strengthening programme. I can say in the 4 months we have worked together, I feel stronger in the gym, more confident in my ability to perform exercises and movements and most importantly I feel more in control over managing my symptoms. All the best file mou

  • Fed Castillon

I had been suffering with knee pain affecting my mobility for over a year with no available relief in sight and contacted Matrix Physiotherapy, who gave me my first appointment with Nick Chatz. Nick put me at ease straight away, performed a thorough assessment, and guided me through the issues and the causes of the problems he identified. He communicated very clearly and made sure that I was confident in performing any exercises he prescribed. After the third appointment the pain is no longer restrictive and I feel secure in the success of his treatment. I am grateful for the excellent care which I receive from Nick and trust him as my physio.

  • Carl Hopwood

I attended Matrix after my NHS physio failed to make any improvement following bicep re-attachment surgery. Nick noticed I had limited range and little strength in my arm. After the first 2 sessions and following his recovery exercise program I noticed a significant improvement. The next 2 sessions although a little painful gave me back most of my range and we are now working on strengthening exercises to help give me back full use of my arm & shoulder. I have since recommended Nick to others who have been more than happy with their treatments and would not hesitate to recommend him if you need any physio treatments or recovery programs.

  • Will Bennett

Learn something new every time I go. I've been working with Riz since August 2020 working on numerous issues with my shoulder and back, and couldn't be more thankful for the work, support & guidance. In my eyes, physio's should help diagnose, educate & provide guidance on how to resolve your injury/issue, and then it's down to the individual to get on with it. That's exactly what Riz has done (& more), especially with the use of videoing techniques/exercises, which is extremely useful. I never feel pressured to go back (like you get with some Physio practices), we agree together on what's best. Keep up the good work!

  • Charlie Cairoli

Was reccomended Riz and the guys at Matrix almost 6 months ago for rehab post-ACL reconstruction, as well as a niggling back issue. I've seen a few physios before, but none that have got me on the road to long-term recovery in the same way. Riz addressed core/balance issues that I wasn't even aware of, as well as detailed analysis on my movement patterns. I was always given extra exercises to do at home/gym if I asked for them and he hasn't kept me for extra sessions when he felt I didn't need them. Hopefully won't need to go back for a while but would wholeheartedly reccomend to anyone looking for succesful rehab!

  • Vikesh Mistry

Nick is awesome. Within the first session we covered a lot of why I was experiencing lower back pains and the best thing was is that he explains how it effects or contributes to how other areas are effected too. Nick does everything to his best capability and fully, and by the end I had no questions at all. If I could give Nick more than 5 stars I would, he's informative, kind and he is an expert in his field. I highly recommend Nick and Matrix physio because they will definitely provide the service you are looking for. He does a fantastic job, and I would really recommend them. .

  • Ellen Harris

Discovering Matrix Physio has honestly been life changing for me! I'd suffered with inexplicable back pain for several years and was starting to feel pretty hopeless before starting treatment with Riz. 6 months later and I have my quality of life back, I'm pain and painkiller free and have peace of mind. Pete has also been brilliant helping me recover from an ankle injury; between them, I'm now in the best health I've felt in a long time. I'd recommend Matrix to anyone, but especially if you feel like you're not getting the answers you need elsewhere. They won't give up on you!

  • Demi Berndt

Riz has helped me over the course of the past 5 weeks with my Femoral Acetabular Impingement. I'm very impressed with the way Riz assessed the problem I have been struggling with. He spent time explaining to me the underlying cause of the problem so I fully understood what needed to be corrected and can better manage similar issues in the future. Riz has been very professional, knowledgeable and caring throughout our sessions together. This is an amazing physio centre where the patient is always put first. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of physio treatment.

  • Tommy Burr

I came to Riz with really bad shoulder pain (rotator cuff) which I had for a good 6-12 months which was preventing me going to the gym and work. After the first session with Riz he found what was the problem with my shoulder and shown me exercises to help improve my rotator cuff. After a hand full of sessions I noticed a significant improvement in my shoulder which enabled me to get back into the gym and back working without pain. Couldn’t thank Riz enough for what he done for me. I would highly recommend him if you are suffering the same problems. 10/10 cheers Riz

  • Niko

After years of ski touring, sailing and doing generally stupid things I really started to feel it this year, especially in my shoulders and lower back. After seeing Riz for sessions and him putting together a better training and recovery programme I can really feel the difference and the symptoms I started with have gradually disappeared. On top of the training and physio he also educates you about how your body works and repairs itself so that you can avoid these issues going forward and in turn continue doing the things you like for as long as possible.

  • John O'Reilly

A year of neck and breathing problems following a cycling incident, i booked an appointment to see Nick. After one appointment he got me breathing again! A few sessions in and, sorted out my neck issues and identified more area to help my rehabilitation. Very hands on, massages, adjustments, gym work and exercises to take away. Nick is hardworking very friendly, easy to talk to has a well trained eye, is extremely determined to be best he can be. The facilities are top notch and all the staff are approachable. Money well spent. Solidarity guys ✊

  • Filip Negoita

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Matrix Physiotherapy, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the moment I walked in, I knew I'm in the right place. The facility itself is modern, clean, and well-equipped, creating a comfortable environment for therapy. Ryszard was highly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly assess my condition before creating a personalized treatment plan. His expertise and dedication to my recovery were evident throughout each session, and I'm delighted with the progress I've made under his care.

  • Claire Pasquill

Outstanding service, and treatment, from the moment you walk through the door. Riz has treated me for a number of years with different injuries, and each experience has been excellent, with results remaining life-changing. Treatments and services are delivered with a fantastic level of professionalism, and since COVID has hit, Riz and the team have maintained the highest level of precautions following government guidelines and continuing to make my visits feel safe. Wouldn't seek any treatment/advice from anyone other than the team at Matrix.

  • Joel Javed

Had the best experience with matrix physio, Riz and his team are super helpful, came in with a rotator cuff injury which just would not heal even after months. After my first session with Riz I left the clinic feeling like I just got a new shoulder. few sessions later with and I was back to 100% after using all his advice and having weekly rehabilitation sessions. the whole process was easy and Riz is definietly the right man for the job and a great guy, I could not recommend them enough. It was the best client experience I have ever had.

  • Mark Fowler

Rhys is excellent and has sorted out problems in my foot, both shoulders and is now working on my high hamstring tendinopathy (which is improving). I'm an avid rock climber and practice BJJ and have found his knowledge of sports based injuries to be great. Cant recommended enough. Edit: I have been for some new appointments with Nick and once again cant recommend enough. I couldn't lift my arms above my head without them hurting previously and now 90% of the pain has gone, still got more work to do but he has been a massive help.

  • Ali Hassan

I would highly recommend Riz and Matrix Physio. Riz is very knowledgeable and explained the root cause of my issue in a very succinct manner that is easy to understand. I have suffered from severe neck pain for 2 years and have even been to Thailand for treatment with no success. I spent about 4 weeks with Riz and I am pain free now! Not only Riz helped me with the pain but has also provided me a prevention plan. If you are reading this, I was also thinking the same and didn't believe anyone can help me! Thank you so much.

  • Gareth Longley

Nick, my physio is great. I’ve seen a number of physios, orthos, sports therapists etc over the last few years, I’ve got a fair bit of experience. From the first session where I was really struggling with neck and back mobility, Nick offered brilliant treatment and advice on how to move forwards. The exercises he gave me are tailored to me and my level of mobility, strength and endurance and having the videos of me doing the exercises was really helpful in repeating them properly in my own time. Thanks for your help guys!

  • Lauren Harper

After having some post natal sciatica and hip problems over the last few months, I’ve been having physio with Nick. After just the first consultation he managed to pin point where my problems were occurring from. He was extremely patient with me as I was unable to do the simplest of exercises before starting sessions at Matrix. I feel much stronger in myself after just a month and my pain has really eased from the strengthening and exercise plans he planned for me. I’d throughly recommend Matrix

  • Sophie Long

I visited Matrix for around 4 months and made significant progress with hip pain (caused by hypermobility and labral tears), which I had been suffering with for 3 years. Riz was quickly able to diagnose the cause of my pain, and Pete took me through a specifically designed physio programme to help me to get back to being able to walk (and run!) without pain and without the need for surgery which had otherwise been suggested by the hospital. I would highly recommend visiting Matrix.

  • Veronica H

I came to see Riz after spraining my ankle and not seeing improvements from another specialist in Manchester. I noticed positive results after my first session and now a few sessions later I am pain free and able to exercise without any problems. Riz has been excellent at giving advice and exercises to complete to help with recovery as well as advise me on improving my ankle strength to prevent another sprain. My experience at Matrix has been brilliant and would highly recommend.

  • john parker

I simply cannot rate Riz high enough. After many years of neck and shoulder pain and numerous visits to various Chiropractors, Osteopaths and Massage Specialists, all to little avail, Riz swiftly identified the issue and at the end of my first session I had considerably more movement in my neck and after a couple of sessions the pain had disappeared. Riz really knows his stuff and puts you at ease during treatments. I'd highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a Physio!

  • Chris Atherton

Riz was fantastic! After a previous bad experience with a different physio, I was unsure what to expect and slightly apprehensive. However, after only my first session I felt fully confident in his abilities. He talked me through every step of the way and tailored the treatments to suit my schedule. Riz managed to diagnose the problem straight away and fix the issue within a few sessions. Despite no longer needing to visit him, he still takes a genuine interest in my progress.

  • Neil

I went to Riz with a hamstring problem which I had seen a different physio for, but not had good results. From the start it was clear Riz's approach was different. He spent the time explaining my injury so I fully understood it. He also gave good advice on things like nutrition and how this can help the body recover. His techniques seem more modern and advanced than those that I had experienced before and the results have been much better. I would definitely recommend.

  • Isaac Whitehead

Visited Matrix on recommendation for intermittent knee pain during and after training. I've had several sessions now with Peter and Riz and they've been nothing short of fantastic. They both give great contextually relevant exercises with easy to understand explanations of why it will help, but also make sure they are suitable or have alternatives to do at home to continue your training or rehabilitation. Always super friendly and polite and would recommend to anyone!

  • Mel Knight

Riz is an absolute genius! He is extremely knowledgeable and is able to explain issues in a really accessible and friendly way. His personality and his manner during treatment leave you feeling like you're in the best hands, and the results he gets are second to none! I've referred 5 people to him for physio services and have even partnered up with him to come into my office to provide consultations for all of our staff. He's the best physio I've ever worked with!

  • Rachel Connolly

Excellent service from Riz, he came into our office for some consultations and saw me about a pain in my neck/ shoulders. After giving me some stretches to do and going in for 3 sessions the problem has disappeared! I had never had physio/ acupuncture or any similar treatments before but Riz put me completely at ease, explaining everything and ensuring I was comfortable. Would highly recommend Riz and Matrix for any injuries/ general discomfort or pain problems.

  • Alice Cachia

I have honestly been blown away by the fantastic treatment and care that Riz provides. I'm a long-distance runner and have a suspected stress fracture and with a few weeks to go until I run a marathon, Riz has been getting me back into shape. Seriously, his expertise is unparalleled and he is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and most importantly has worked wonders! I can't recommend Matrix Physio enough - you'll be being treated by the best in the business.

  • Rob Hutton

From the outset of my treatment Riz showed he was very knowledgeable and understanding of my issues. From the first few sessions he constructed a plan with exercises to aid in my development and recovery whilst explaining why and how they'd be beneficial; this continued throughout the sessions, culminating in a bespoke training plan. Overall the level of service provided has been excellent and I'd happily recommend Riz to anyone in need of a physio.

  • Tom Goodyear

I only have positive things to write about Matrix Physio and Riz. He was great at diagnosing the injury and helping me to understand it physically. Through the rehabilitation process, there was a really good combination of in session exercises and ones to practice at home with the right level of push to recover, whilst also managing expectations. I would 100% recommend Matrix' services - can't beat the feeling of returning to sport after time away

  • Craig Arrowsmith

Nick and Ryz have been invaluable through my leg break recovery. I’ve managed to rebuild the atrophied muscle and regain my strength, all thanks to the knowledge and direction of the guys at Matrix. Nick even went as far to learn all about climbing, a sport I love, and tailor my training and physio to improve in the areas that assist climbing. The hundreds of 5 star reviews tell you what you need to know about these guys, thoroughly recommended.

  • Sawyer Phinney

If could give Riz ten stars, I would. Riz is extremely knowledgeable in terms of supporting your recovery. He takes his time in explaining things to you and is honest with your recovery timeline and what he needs from you. I had torn my ACL and had surgery right before COVID. This meant I couldn't do physiotherapy and this left my knee very stiff. After several months going to Riz, I can workout and run again - and my knee is nearly 100%.

  • rory harris

Fantastic physio, the best I have used. I booked in with Matrix Physio after a recurring injury returned. as well as helping to speed up recovery with massage and stretching techniques, Riz was really thorough in identifying the root cause(s) of the injury which I had never even considered, such as nutrition and foot arch problems. The help and advice given has provided me with my best chance of continuing to enjoy my sport injury free.

  • Troy Nixon

Working in the fitness industry I have been to countless physiotherapists, osteopaths and chiropractors in my time Matrix is the great I have been to, not only from a rehabilitation stand point, but also from a friendly and professional stance too. Initially had a hip injury preventing me from running more than 5km, but now running pain free. Riz is unmatched in this department and will be my physio for any and all future issues.

  • Robert West

I worked with a friendly and skilled physio Riz. My knee feels great! Do not be put off by the increased price compared to other competitors. Riz takes extra time with you and will not mug you off with repeated sessions. I got my money's worth absolutely and was improved within 4 sessions. I have returned to this service and was dealt with by Nick. Great service, knowledgeable and friendly physio. Got the job done. Thanks

  • Conor Elliott

Worked with Ryz to help rebuild strength after a running injury, he did a great job of explaining what was causing the issue really clearly and making sure you understand everything throughout the entire process. Provided lots of helpful resources for exercises to help continue the progress from sessions and overall provided excellent service that you can feel comfortable and confident in throughout. Definitely recommend!

  • Luke Heaps

After seeing a few physios for my elbow tendonitis without much progress for months, I finally got the results and the structured program I needed when I came to matrix. Even after the first consultation I felt confident my injury was finally going to get sorted. Ryz is very knowledgeable and has an answer for any question you may have and has always delivered a service beyond what you may expect from a typical physio.

  • Cate Disbury

I made an appointment with a niggling hamstring injury that was having a serious impact on my ability to compete in my sport. If I’m honest, I was doubtful I was ever going to get back to full fitness but Áine was fantastic. Incredibly knowledgeable whilst also recognising the fact that I needed to get through the season before I could fully commit to rehab. A brilliant physio who I can’t recommend highly enough!

  • jessicarr moorhouse

I have been very impressed by Riz at Matrix physio. He is extremely knowledgeable and has helped me to maintain a positive attitude to and be confident in my recovery. To aid memory, you receive GIF videos of your exercise plan, which is a great way to remember your programme. Riz is also on hand via WhatsApp message to ask any questions and give advice. The improvement I have made in just 3 sessions is vast!

  • Ian Hughes

Amazing - To have gone from being unable to walk following a second ACL tear, to running and feeling more stable than before and all in a few months. Service, knowledge and care was all outstanding, would recommend to anyone. Riz knows his stuff and I was sceptical at first on whether I would get back to normal without an operation, turns out that with the right treatment there are other options than surgery!

  • Maxim

First came to Riz with long-standing shoulder pain. Even from the initial free 15 minute consultation, he took care to explain the reasons why I had developed this pain, what the subsequent sessions would involve, reassured me with well-evidenced answers to all my questions, and progressively helped me build back my strength. Great facilities and excellent overall experience. Would recommend to anyone.

  • Suban Ahmed

I have been seeing Nico for about 2 years now for meniscal/knee pain pre and post surgery. Nico has always provided me with tailored programmes to suit my needs and has helped me recover from my injury. He is always on hand if i have any questions and cannot recommend him enough. Highly recommend Nico for any knee issues! The facility itself Is well equipped, clean and has everything you would need.

  • Iman Hasnain

Nick is an amazing physio, I had really bad shoulder pain but he explained everything really well and really reassured me, it’s been three weeks and there’s been so much improvements. Our sessions are really helpful and the recordings mean I can always come back to the excersizes. Really recommend him to anyone he’s very knowledgeable about what he does and goes above and beyond for his clients.

  • Oscar Richardson

Wholeheartedly recommend Matrix Physiotherapy and Riz in particular. I'm making really great progress with a chronic (over 4 years) injury. The pain is getting better and better and I've been getting stronger again :) Riz goes above and beyond, even filming the drills he sets you and sending them to you on WhatsApp so you have something to refer to. Really sound guy as well. Thank you Riz! :)

  • Camila Varó

I would highly recommend this clinic. Went there last summer after having recurrent issues with my knee. Peter diagnosed me with runner's knee and help me get back to running in a couple of months. He was great, explained everything thoroughly so I always knew why I had to do one exercise or another. I am now training for a marathon and the knee is still holding up so thank you so much Peter!

  • Raji Sundar

Riz has treated me for my running related injury. Riz was like a breath of fresh air; within 10 minutes he diagnosed what the issue was. I was amazed with his approach to solving the issue, he was confident in his diagnosis that the further running for test confirmed the problem. Within three session my sciatic nerve pain feels much better and manageable. I recommend Riz to all runners.

  • Sarah Capjon

I visited Riz off the back of a friends recommendation, after he sorted out her knee. I also had a painful knee which ached constantly. After the first session Riz knew what the problem was and explained in an easy no-jargon way! Throughout my sessions he tailored the exercises to fit my lifestyle and everything felt very safe and clean. My knee is now feeling strong again. Thanks Riz!

  • david pepper

After struggling with IT band syndrome for 2 years and seeing other Physio’s with no luck on helping to sort out my injury, I came across Matrix physio on Google. Riz has been absolutely amazing; extremely knowledgeable, personable, and a massive help to me in getting me doing all kinds of activities again that caused me a lot of pain only a few months ago. Could not recommend enough.

  • Flora Amery

Riz and the rest of the team were all fantastic! I came in with a bad sprain and was back to full health in record time. Riz was super helpful with fitting my appointments in at a time convenient to me and Pete was great when there wasn’t a suitable time for Riz. I was more than comfortable in both of them and hugely grateful to be back to myself as quick as I was! Thank you!!!!

  • maram lawati

I have been going to matrix physiotherapy for over a year now and I am absolutely satisfied with the service provided. Riz is a highly expert physio and I have seen a huge improvement though his treatment approach. He is very friendly and I have always been pleased by his flexibility to re arrange my appointments when necessary. I can’t recommend Matrix physiotherapy enough !!

  • Paul Bailey

Came to see Riz with a recurring knee injury and whilst in the process of seeing him then had an ankle injury in the run up to a half marathon. With the exercises and stretches Riz gave me to do, alongside the treatment he gave at his clinic I was able to complete the half marathon with no pain. Riz is very knowledgable and makes you feel very comfortable throughout. Thanks

  • Jon Matthews

Unfortunately getting older but being active has resulted in an Achilles snap, meniscus knee tear and a frozen shoulder in 12 months. Riz and Pete have diagnosed, treated and supported me without fault. I’ve made a full recovery and it’s down to their skill and judgement. I’ve used various Physio’s and Matrix are the best and are really great people too. Highly recommended.

  • Fernando Campos

I went to Matrix to treat a calf injury developed whilst training for a marathon. I was seen by Peter and I am super happy with the results. Peter made a thorough assessment of my calf and lower leg muscles and prescribed a tailored series of exercises which got me injury free and will prevent further injuries on my marathon training. Really recommended Matrix and Peter.

  • Eloise Poole

Nothing but good things to say about Matrix and Riz - I went a couple of months ago with two sore painful knees and now I am feeling much better. Riz is friendly and welcoming and extremely knowledgeable - I had a thorough examination and everything was clearly explained. The exercises I was given were appropriate to my condition and my capabilities. Easily five stars.

  • Tom O'Connor

Having dealt with back and shoulder pain for many years due to swimming injuries and having seen multiple other physios with little progress. The rehabilitation focus which Riz has provided has resulted in little to no pain in my daily life, and a strong program for me to focus on to maintain this going forward. I have no hesitations about recommending him to anyone.

  • Ana Rondelli

I went to Matrix Physio for a Type 2 sprained ankle. I have not only received expert treatment from Peter but also he had the patience to explain and plan my return to training for a half marathon this year. I am very happy and would heartly recommend it. I have successfully finished the half marathon, and this is also due to following the recommended reatment plan.

  • William Cotterill

10/10 from start to finish. I hurt my back last summer and Matrix Physio helped me to get back to where I needed to be. Riz's treatment sessions helped me to regain the strength I needed and work on the muscled I had damaged. Really lovely approach to physio - Riz was a pleasure to deal with hes both professional and friendly, made me feel comfortable and welcomed.

  • ayas kitchen

Very bad service,the physiotherapy there is a joke,just money focused and not patient focused,didn't even examine me,while it states on the website that it will be with manual therapy as well,no planning scheduled for your specific injury,just same rule applied for all,no difference at all to the NHS quality physio,won't advise,just a waste of my money and time.

  • Sam Dimmick

Can’t recommend highly enough! I’ve had a shoulder problem for years and seen many physio’s and Riz is the only one who’s managed to sort it and give me the tools to keep it right! He’s also helped with my hip/back problems allowing me to play golf pain free and optimise my training. As a trainer I always refer clients to Matrix as I know they’re in good hands.

  • Maddy Bolton

Nick is friendly, engaging and professional. He has been really helpful in my recovery and I came away from every session feeling better than I had before. He has a holistic approach to physio and not only helped me with the problem I was having but made me aware of areas that might cause issue in the future. I couldn't recommend him enough.

  • Josh Gould

Nick is simply great. A really chill guy who knows what he's doing. Initially he wasn't sure what my injury was but within the first few sessions he was able to get to the bottom of it and put me on a program for recovery. I've been to several physios in the past and none come close to the quality of care you get with Nick. A great service!

  • Tom Deakin

Excellent quality of service and friendliness, and Riz was able to solve a long-standing knee issue I had after one session. The treatment was set to match my pace so that I really have been set on track to have a lasting, holistic fix that didn't slow me down in the short term. Can't stress enough that you'll be in good hands with Matrix.

  • BARIKREHMAN

Had a partial slap tear diagnosed by Riz at Matrix Physio. Riz is not just super friendly but seriously knows his stuff. Only about two months of physio and my shoulders back to 95%, doing everything I used to at hundred percent effort - weight training, cricket, you name it. Definitely check him out if you need help; he's the real deal!

  • Leah Yarwood

Riz has exceptional knowledge and is super friendly which puts you at ease straight away. I was given a progressive exercise regime to build on each week and take forward with me (along with videos of myself demonstrating the exercises which I found very helpful as I couldn’t always remember them). Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

  • Emily Jane

All round fantastic service!! Started having knee trouble about 3 months ago and went to Riz for a consultation. Really friendly and reassuring, and after only a few weeks of physio sessions I already felt a huge difference. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone, and will be going back to him for any other issues in the future.

  • Dafydd Stonehewer

Nick is an excellent physiotherapist. He was able to get to the root of the cause of my pain and set me up with a course of exercises that have vastly improved my condition and that I can now use to keep myself pain free going forward. Clearly very passionate and knowledgeable ability what he does, I would recommend to anyone.

  • Maria Arias

I came to Peter because my GP thought I had frozen shoulder. Instead, Peter accurately saw that it was something else and through a series of sessions I was able to start using my shoulder again without pain. I highly recommend Matrix Physio and Peter to anyone who is experiencing issues with their mobility or with joint pain.

  • paul cunningham

I had a debilitating trapped nerve in my neck, but even after my first session I came away with the confidence to do some gentle exercises that helped me gain further mobility. Subsequent sessions built on this and put me well back on the road to recovery. Thanks very much Riz! Would definitely recommend the clinic to others.

  • Claire Sweetland

Riz is, without a doubt, the best physio I've seen. Although I originally went to see Riz for some hip pain, having spoken about my overall health during my first session, Riz has been helping me to manage my chronic illness over several months. Riz is professional, knowledgable and thorough -- I wouldn't see anyone else now.

  • Emily B

Couldn't recommend Matrix enough. Top service, super friendly, approachable and great attention to detail. I got in touch with Riz after experiencing knee pain whilst running. Riz quickly identified what the problem was and we got to work with rehabilitation. Two months down the line and I am no longer experiencing any pain.

  • Mathew Edwards

Been to matrix for several treatments. Down to earth, technical, friendly, holistic approach to treatment with a focus on prevention to prevent future issues instead of just resolving a symptom. Riz is an absolute professional who is extremely passionate about his work and client care. Best physio team I've ever worked with.

  • Bradley Scanlan

Not a bad word to say about Matrix Physio. Most of my experiences were with Riz who was fantastic at diagnosing my injury, explaining this in simple terms and providing a structured plan to a full recovery. However, my experiences with other staff were nothing short of superb either. I wouldn’t use another physio now …

  • Rumer Morley

Hands down the best physio I have ever had. After suffering from chronic headaches and neck pain and after previously being seen by 4 other physios -of who all wrote me off - Riz has been able to get me back on to better roads & the quality of service he provides is invaluable. I would recommend Matrix to absolutley anyone.

  • Damiana Casile

Riz has sorted me right out after a nasty wrist injury following a rollerblading accident. Everyone I spoke to was recommending me to him and I now understand why. He explains all the processes and what has happened and what treatment he is doing. He is thorough, friendly and professional and I couldn't recommend more.

  • mertbutuner

I started seeing Riz about a year ago after having back problems due to years of heavy lifting. I can't recommend him enough. Every session is a great experience. Not only has he fixed my problem (for which I had been to other physios for before) but I have been working with him regularly ever since to prevent injury.

  • Hamid Ramati

Matrix Physio is an exceptional clinic. The staff's professionalism and dedication to individualized care set them apart. Aine, one of their skilled physiotherapists, is fantastic. Her personalized approach and expertise have been instrumental in my recovery. Thank you, Matrix Physio and Aine, for the excellent care!

  • Alina Criste

I can not thank Riz enough, I have suffered with chronic shoulder and hip pain for over a year now, and it was affecting my day to day life. After having just 3 sessions, I haven't had any pain in either my shoulder or hip, and I feel like a new woman! I highly recommend Riz for any pain or injury thank you so much!

  • Tom Craig

I've had a fantastic experience with Matrix Physio and Ryszard more specifically who has be my dedicated therapist throughout my treatment. Your treatment journey is tailored personally to you and the information provided helps you understand what is happening and more importantly why. Great service and great team.

  • Connor Brennan

Attended with an injury sustained playing football with a tight time frame for recovery. Working with both Abbie and Riz, I received top class advice and treatment from specialist therapists, in excellent facilities. Enabling me to play and providing we with a continued rehab plan post discharge. Highly recommended

  • Carlos Gonzalez

This is a great clinic. I've had several sessions with Nico and it has helped immensely. They truly care and helped me out a lot. I had a severely messed up shoulder to the point of where I could barely put on my own shirt and thanks to their help I can now move my arm and go back to the gym. I truly recommend it.

  • George Hart

Been seeing Nico (the knee guy) at Matrix for a long period of time for a number of ACL injuries, rehab for scar tissue and other debridement issues and cannot recommend them enough. I’m always left feeling more confident with my knee and the progression after each session is unbelievable. Highly recommend.

  • Cariad Ubaid

Nick is an excellent physiotherapist – he is approachable, highly skilled and knows what he is doing. He quickly identified the root cause of my knee issue and following a tailored program of exercises and series of treatment sessions, I am on the path to a full recovery. I highly recommend Matrix Physio.

  • jessica taylor

I cannot recommend Matrix Physio enough. The team are absolutely amazing. I first went to see Riz with a back problem which was restricting me to do even simple tasks, I received the very best treatment and now I am back to pretty much full mobility and training. I cant thank him and the team enough :)
