Been seeing John for a few sessions now and I can not recommend him enough. He is very professional and knows what he’s talking about. He has done a few things for my joint lock and he works wonders for me. He has done acupuncture, soft tissue massage and clicks my back.

“I was delighted with Johns treatment .As an Olympic judo player I have had many injuries and seen many therapists from Chiropractors to Osteopaths to Physiotherapists all claiming they could do this and that ! My lower back is now 50% improved after just two sessions …thanks again.”

“Highly recommended for a professional holistic approach.John explains everything well and understands the needs of the individual”

“After a busy year of events ending the season with two marathons four weeks apart my knees were in bits a visit to the Magic Man John Rothery had me diagnosed with ITB Tendonitis and I was taped and treated and a treatment plan was prepared I left his practice walking better than I had done for a month! John’s knowledge and professionalism is always top notch! Great service!”

“Two sessions with John for big fat swollen ankle, he diagnosed and treated and it’s better already. Can’t recommend him enough; he’s precise, explains well, confident and gets the job done. Thankyou “

John Rothery is the best Physio I have ever been to see, I had a few long standing and new injuries and with just one session in his new practice has given me more flexibility and reduction in pain. His forward thinking and proactive approach will help you with ailments and injuries.

“Extremely professional and knowledgeable! I had severe spasms in my lower back leading to a significant curvature and twist in my whole back.After just one session I was able to walk upright again.Highly recommended! Thanks John !

“I suffered an injury to my knee whilst skiing in January 2016 which ended up being a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and ruptured medial meniscus which forced me out of work for 6 months and a career change. This also resulted in major surgery using a graft of the hamstring to reconstruct the ACL and an artificial pad for the cartilage. I was finally pointed in John’s direction. He has made a massive difference to everyday life and even encouraged me back into sport with confidence. I’m really excited to continue to smash my goals and hit next years targets with John’s help. Thanks”

“From personal experience… John Rothery is the first number I call when my sciatica plays up! John is a legend… thank you”

“During my visit to Saundersfoot, I became seriously incapacitated by pain in my lower back and turned up at The Rothery Centre looking desperate! John booked me in for the next morning and unbelievably sent me out walking, with sensible advice to help myself and another appointment very early the following morning. His professional and down to earth approach filled me with confidence very quickly. Muscle energy techniques, realignment plus massage to relax my muscle spasm-ed back, meant a full recovery …..in just two days!

“I couldn’t recommend John more highly, he is a talented and caring practitioner. Thank you John!”

“John was great yesterday for my appointment his diagnosis and treatment really helped.Highly recommended.Great service,nice guy”

“I can’t recommend Rothery Health Centre enough..the service and treatment I received was first class, and Mr Rothery was totally professional “

“I’m one of those athletes that lets a problem develop, hoping it will go away. When it doesn’t, I rock up at the clinic giving little or no notice saying we’ve got 10 mins to sort this out! An exasperated John smiles and nods knowingly and takes it all in his stride. John has always found time in his busy schedule. Last year I dropped myself on him 3 weeks before I was due to go to Kona for the ironman world champs. John couldnt have done more. I encroached on his time, took liberties and this stoic deep thinking Yorkshire man never once thought of saying ‘can’t’ or’ no’. He approaches his task methodically and professionally and explains what has happened, why, and what can be done. Good agony aunt too!”

“Luckily for me I met John Rothery by sheer chance as he was passing by my house and we got chatting. John could instantly see I was suffering with a injury to my groin. I had been seeing specialists in the hospital and been to several sessions of Physio on the NHS but with no success and I was unable to run. I was nervous about seeing John as I never knew him and his treatments were so different to the previous people I had seen. He loosened parts of my body where I had been tight and I felt like a new man again. He also cured my groin problem in 1 session in the following months.”

“John Rothery personally helped me through my journey to Ironman 2016 after I’d suffered calf problems for some time. Upon meeting him he immediately diagnosed my problem and set about repairing my injury explaining everything every step of the way.

“After receiving his knowledge and expertise in his field I went on to complete the Long Course Weekend and IM Wales to achieve my dream. I would not recommend anyone else having succeeded in my goals through him. Jamie”

“While training for Ironman Wales, I was suffering with really tight calves and ended up pulling one. A friend recommended John Rothery to me and within 10 minutes of being assessed John had identified the problem. After one session my calves felt like new and, as John suggested, I bought a particular type of running shoe. I’ve never had any problems with my calves since. John is a fantastic professional who is massively respected by all who know him – I would recommend his services to anyone.”

“When originally starting to train for the Ironman in October 2015, I was little shy of 18 stone. I was told that running would cause issues for me because of my size and to increase my milage slowly as I lose weight. By March 2016 I was suffering from severe shin splints and tried everything in my power to shift it (new shoes, new insoles, reducing training)… or so I thought. One session with the man himself, Mr John Rothery diagnosed the problem to an issue further up my body and gave me all the tools in which to help fix it.

“Since taking the words of wisdom from John I have had no issues with my shins and feel absolutely fantastic. Thank you so much John!”

“Six weeks ago I saw you, having put my back out by picking up a packet of wine gums. I could barely get in my car, let alone walk… On Sunday I took 49mins off my pb in Ironman Wales – 13h37m…

“You can add me to your list of stories as a reminder to future patients that anything is possible… (with the right help!) Many thanks, Ian Sullivan”

“Big thank you to both Emma and John at Rothery Health. In the run up to both IMW 2015 and 2016 I suffered with both hamstring and ankle injuries but with plenty of professional advice and treatment they ensured I made both the start and finish line on both big days!”

“Whilst training for Ironman Wales 2015, I injured my back. I rested and carried on without getting it checked out, this resulted in a DNF as the back issues returned on the bike course.

“John Rothery was recommended to me and I went for a consultation. After a couple of sessions, my back was feeling better than ever. It felt stronger on the bike and in the sea. I was even able to beat my swim PB by 20 minutes.

“I would like to thank Rothery Health Clinic for their professional advise and treatments which helped me achieve my goal in finishing Ironman Wales.”
