Michelle has treated me for several injuries over a number of years and has always brought relief. She is very accommodating and arranges appointments quickly, going over and above to see me on days when she doesn’t work. I would highly recommend this practice.

★★★★★★★★★★Darren HOct 2025

Michelle is an excellent physio, she has been helping me with all sorts of niggles over the past few years. She is professional in her approach and always provides tailored treatment which gives results.

★★★★★★★★★★SoniaApr 2025

I went to Michelle because of neck and shoulder pain. She got stuck in with manual therapy and after 5 sessions the improvement is unbelievable! I had very limited flexion in my neck and this is now fully resolved. I will definitely be returning to Michelle and recommending her to anyone who needs a physio.

★★★★★★★★★★Bronagh StrainMar 2025

I have been a patient of Michelle’s for over 15 years and have attended her clinic many times with various issues. She is an excellent physiotherapist, very thorough in her assessment, focussed on treatment & supportive in providing exercise & maintenance plans. She is very professional and I would certainly have no hesitation in recommending her to others. Bronagh

Michelle has been an absolute lifesaver for both me and my wife! She really took the time to understand my shoulder and back issues and created a treatment plan that worked wonders. My wife also saw her for back pain, and we both felt so much better after our sessions. Michelle is not only knowledgeable but also kind and genuinely cares about her patients. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone needing physio.

★★★★★★★★★★Siobhan HughesOct 2024

Following recommendations, I have been having treatment from Michelle recently for severe bilateral arm pain. I am very impressed by her knowledge, assessment and treatment including a personalised exercise programme, checking that I am doing the exercises properly. I am grateful to her for communicating with my medical practice to ensure that I was accessing appropriate NHS services. I find her very friendly and caring also and will definitely be recommending her to others.

★★★★★★★★★★Robert IrvineAug 2024

I have been a patient of Michelle's for quite a few years now due mainly to running injuries - which have been many and often! I have always found Michelle to be very thorough in her assessment - she never makes assumptions and ensures she is really clear about the nature of the problem before embarking on treatment. She is always up to date with the latest research and treatment methods and is really clear in explaining what she is doing, what exercises are required at home and why they are recommended. More recently I have been attending for non running injuries and Michelle is still the best physio I have ever attended.

★★★★★★★★★★Dr. Siobhan GrahamMar 2024

Michelle is an excellent physio, I refer most of our patients to her with back pain, neck pain and tension headaches. Attending as a patient myself with shoulder pain I have gotten great benefit from her hands on therapy and exercise recommendations. Thank you Michelle we are lucky to have you in our building !

★★★★★★★★★★Ashton -Mar 2022

Michelle is an outstanding physiotherapist. She is also kind, generous, and sympathetic. I've been to see her with niggles that require only a short course of treatment, and long-term conditions which need oversight as long as I'm continuing with my demanding career. I feel that Michelle understands not only my body and the injuries I need help with, but also how the impact on my mood, and the encouragement I need to get stuck into rehab and back into the work I love. I have been a large number of physios over the years, but since finding Michelle, I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. She is diligent, skilled, experienced, and continues to build on her knowledge and adapt to the latest research. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

★★★★★★★★★★Sharon DobsonOct 2021

I have recommended Michelle to friends and family. And would not hesitate to recommend her again. I have attending Michelle at City Physiotherapy for a few years. Initially I had a lot of upper back and neck pain - that had been treated unsuccessfully in other clinics. Michelle was able to diagnose and provide almost immediate relief. Over the years, I have had lower back issues, knee issues, etc. All treated successfully by Michelle. Michelle is a true professional - highly experienced, knowledgeable and caring. The clinic itself is spotless - all Covid 19 guidelines followed - but Michelle's clinic was clean long before Covid :-) Thank you Michelle for the excellent care over the past years.

Dramatherapyni

Christine Cowan is a Dramatherapist based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. She utilizes dramatherapy, which draws from drama, theatre, psychology, anthropology, education, and play, to help individuals express difficult thoughts and feelings in a safe space. Her approach involves using various creative methods such as art, music, objects, stories, puppets, role play, scripts, myth, and movement. This allows clients to tell their stories, examine relationship issues, and use play and spontaneity to regain control and move forward with positivity. Dramatherapy is noted as being a fast and effective method for addressing issues, often more so than talk therapy alone, by enabling the acting out of problems. Christine is described as a professional and approachable therapist who consistently holds a safe space for her clients.
