Initial consultations are either 45 minutes or 60 minutes and the price is £65-75. Follow up treatments are either 30,45 or 60 minutes and the price is £45, £65 or £75. The length of treatment is determined by the nature of the injury and whether there are multiple areas that need treatment.

We certainly do and a large percentage of our caseload are active 11-16 year olds. If you have a son or daughter under 11 please call the reception and our team will be able to advise whether we can help. If we can not help, we will be able to point you in the right direction of someone that can.

“Been working under Sam at Sharp Physio now for 3 weeks. I had suffered with calf, ITB, piriformis and lower back pain for over three years and seen multiple people. I wasn't able to wake up pain free, never mind functioning on a day to day basis.
Sam has managed not just to relieved of my pain but he has done this in 3 sessions. I have gone from being unable to sit down properly, sleep for any length of time or stand to not waking up with pain and feeling instantly depressed because of the pain. As a result, I feel like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I am no longer reliant on painkillers and training every day.”

“I cannot thank Sam and Joe enough for what they have done for me and getting me back running again. When I first started having treatments I could not even run because of the pain. But now with their expertise and knowledge I am back running on the road. And pain free!
Their professionalism, expertise, knowledge and customer service from start to finish is absolutely outstanding and I cannot thank them enough.”

“Joe diagnosed my back over the phone, refused to see me and sent me directly to hospital. Now this may sound like bad business for him but he literally saved my life by doing this. I was diagnosed with a massive spinal AVM that required immediate spinal cord surgery and months and months of after care.
During, Joe was in contact with my myself and my wife all the time I was in hospital. Despite the fact he had never met or seen me as a client! After leaving hospital, Joe and his team were the only ones I trusted to do my rehab and without them I have no doubt I would not have made the amazing recovery I have.”

“Lucy is a fantastic physiotherapist. After one session, she completely eradicated the pain I was feeling which was actually due to a different problem. When another physio said there was nothing that they could do, Lucy was fantastic and sorted me out. If I need more treatment I will definitely be coming back.”

“Some years ago I had fallen on the base of my spine on a concrete floor. Despite acupuncture and visits to various physiotherapists I was still getting sharp pains in my lower back when playing golf. I visited Sharp physio Bawtry in December and had weekly appointments with Sam. Before the first session I could barely walk but after 3 or 4 treatment I was virtually pain free. I was given stretching exercises to do at home, which really helped. Sam explained exactly what he was doing, answered all my questions adding that I should have an MRI so he could have a complete picture of possible underlying problems. It turned out that I have a spinal stenosis but the regular treatment alleviated the pain and it was recommended I do not need surgery.
Throughout my treatments Sam has been the ultimate professional and I wholeheartedly recommend Sharp physiotherapy to get the job done.”

“
Natalie

“After seeing numerous professionals including physiotherapists, chiropractors, sports therapists and going for various treatments, nothing has ever given long lasting relief. I decided to give Joe a try and after the first session I knew straight away that this was different to any treatment I had received before.
After 4 sessions, he has resolved the ongoing issues I suffered with for over 1.5 years. More importantly, I am seeing long lasting effects for the first time. From the first visit Joe took the time to listen to me and ever since has shown his knowledge and professionalism throughout. The approaches he uses are second to none and I would highly recommend him to everyone.
Thanks Joe I really appreciate the difference you have made.”

Am 47 years old and had a car accident 13 years ago leaving me with a plate in my wrist , nerve damage and Thoracic outlet syndrome. I had spent thousands on physio with little to no joy of managing my pain and discomfort. I could not sleep through the night , I would grind my teeth, I couldn’t get back in to a pool to swim , no one was able to touch my wrist. I didn’t let people close because I did not want people to know how much I struggled. I just couldn’t imagine growing older and coping with it all. Lucy has changed all this , she is amazing , I went swimming in the sea within 3 months of seeing her . I can let someone hold my hand , I sleep, never felt poorly after my appointments. Lucy as gave me my life back , hope , took away fear and anxiety and that ground hog day feeling. Listen to Lucy and you should go Far. Great team , great company have a lot to offer.

After several knee dislocations, I was considering surgery on my knee. However after a block of sessions with Joe, I am now the strongest I have been and no longer need surgery. I started only being able to walk for 15 mins pain free and now can run and walk pain free. The whole team are lovely and welcoming and it’s been a fantastic experience - would hugely recommend!

Could not speak highly enough of the team for how much they helped me. I reached out to them around a month post elbow surgery with very limited movement capability in my elbow. My injury was given a full review, after which the team put together a full exercise program for me to follow which allowed me to continue to make progress in between appointments. Even the specialist surgeons at the hospital commented on how quickly I was progressing in terms of regaining movement, all thanks to the team at Sharp. I even received scar tissue treatment as part of the sessions to help reduce sensitivity, which was above and beyond what other physio’s would generally do. Would definitely recommend!

Can't recommend Sharp Physiotherapy enough. After seeing Sam for a few sessions for a problem with my knee I was still able to do the half-marathon I had planned, and learnt so much about the issues I was having and how to prevent them going forward. They really listen to you and make it a comfortable experience.

Could not recommend Sharp Physiotherapy enough! After my hip arthroscopy my hip didn’t feel right and Joe and Lucy agreed. The team helped me find another surgeon for a second opinion and the surgeon agreed my hip was not right. I underwent another arthroscopy to sort out the issues from the first surgery and Lucy worked alongside the surgeon and treated me weekly to help with my hip. I then underwent a major hip surgery and then got an infection and Lucy was there to help with my rehab and treatment. I could not recommend Lucy enough she has helped me through so much, treating me, being extremely patient, understanding but also very knowledgeable. Lucy has been there for me and my family every step of the way! Lucy has worked alongside my surgeon to create a successful rehab plan. The team have managed to fit me in for appointments when I’ve been struggling with pain. I would not go anywhere else for Physiotherapy and can not recommend Lucy and Sharp physio enough!

Sharp Physio are the absolute best! I've tried several before but never stuck with it as they never solved the problem. Lucy, Joe and the whole team want to get to the root of the problem, sort that out, then work on building you up from there. I've referred several people now and they have all had great experiences for different ailments/injuries. I honestly wouldn't look anywhere else! Your'e getting local physio's who have worked at Olympic & pro sport levels. The premises are lovely too so you feel welcome and looked after but not in a hospital type environment.😊

I had tried many different practitioners over the years to help treat my headaches and neck pain with no one seeming able to help. Having seen a physiotherapist for 6 months with no results and then finally going to my gp who seemed clueless, I decided to give Sharp Physiotherapy a go. I was skeptical and unsure that they could help after many years of unsuccessful treatments. I had a telephone consultation and session with Sam T who put me at ease telling me that he was confident he could help. After my first session my headaches were instantly better, I was not expecting that at all. For years I have been in pain which has taken over my life and now I feel like my old self again and more importantly pain free! Sam seems to know where to target the pain and release the tension in my head and neck. I would not hesitate to recommend Sharp Physiotherapy to anyone, they are a fab team and very helpful.
