I hurt my lower back recently which led onto sciatica all down my right leg. Sciatica is awful and irritates all hours of the day.Joe was recommended to me by a friend.I was very wary on my first visit in case any manipulation made things worse but Joe is very reassuring and knowledgeable which relaxed me straight away.I have now had four visits to see Joe and I am much improved, if I had seen Joe months ago when my back was just a bit stiff I’m sure I would have avoided all of my recent painHighly recommended, if you have any aches or pains see Joe now before it gets any worse

I have seen Joe for two different issues and both times he has been able to explain clearly what is going on and provide the exercises and next steps needed for recovery. Each time following the plan he provided, within a couple of sessions and weeks I was back to moving and daily activities completely pain free.I know any time I feel one of my injuries returning I have the exercises I need to reduce and remove the pain. I would happily go back to Joe for any injury and would highly recommend him to others. He is always welcoming, understanding and pleasure to see.

I came to see Joe back in 2022 about pain in my right knee which was preventing me from running without pain. Joe sent me away with a diagnosis and exercises for recovery and after 6 weeks I was able to start running again, and a year later I was running distances up to 18km and speeds I never thought I would, all pain free. To this day the pain in my knee has not returned!I recently came back to see Joe about pain in my groin during half marathon training, and once again Joe not only gave me a diagnosis and plan for recovery but gave me the understanding and knowledge I needed to alleviate all the anxiety I had been experiencing up to that point.On both occasions coming to see Joe was the best decision I could have made and worth every penny. Joe let's you ask any and all questions you have and I always came away feeling confident and clear about what lay ahead with any stress or confusion dissipated by Joe's guidance and understanding.Thank you!

Joe is an excellent Physio. He listens, has a caring attitude and makes you feel at ease.I was in agony with a tight neck and back pain which were unbearable when I had my first appointment at The Next Step Physio. Today, 4 months later and after a lot of hard work and probably sore hands, Joe has managed to loosen my neck, releasing most knots, and taking away the pain in my back. My posture has improved and I feel so much lighter around my shoulders. I have been given a number of very useful self help ideas and exercises to help keep my pain under control, but I know I can contact him again before the pain gets too bad if I need to.I would highly recommend Joe to anyone looking for a physio in the Hampshire area.

I went to see Joe after having a stroke. He was recommended by the Stroke Association. I was having some difficulties with my left arm, and also with my balance. Joe inspired me with immediate confidence. He has a very good manner and wonderful hands. On the second session he noticed that I have a problem with my hip, which had been bothering me for some time, but I had not mentioned it to Joe. We progressed from the stroke to the hip and also my weakening knees. They all showed improvement, and I am very grateful to him. I would return to Joe any time that I get a problem.

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Joe is AMAZING. Not only is he super responsive, polite, professional and kind but he's a really skilled physio. I had a very sudden, very painful trap/shoulder issue and Joe fitted me in immediately (staying late to do so). I've been to tonnes of physios and, unlike many, Joe really knows his stuff. He also kindly followed up and checked in to see how I was the next day. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great treatment at Next Step Physio in Winchester. Joe is superb. I’ve had physio at many different practices and often I’ve come away feeling that I haven’t made as much progress as I would have expected - Joe literally does what he says on the tin - he takes you that Next Step . I’ve had my lower back treated and after 3 treatments mobility restored and then again recently a grade 2 tear on my calf which has vastly improved after 2 treatments - third treatment today . Joe explains what’s wrong - guides you on what to do and why and on top of all that he’s a very likeable guy . If you’re in pain and in need of some physio I really do suggest taking the Next Step - even the name makes sense

Following a very serious car accident I was in terrible pain and almost crawled into Next Step Physio. Fast forward 9 weeks and I am utterly amazed and relieved at the difference in my mobility and the relief from pain achieved. The treatment and care I received from Joe was second to none and I will be forever grateful to this wonderfully talented young man, he has truly set me on the road to recovery.

I was recommended to see Joe by a friend after twisting my ankle. He was incredibly professional and designed a recovery program to work around my specific needs. Highly recommend!

Rehabilitation
Recovering from an injury or surgery? Good rehabilitation is the key to making the best recover possible. Experts in exercise we will tailor you a program and work with you to optimize your strength and stability. This will help to ensure that not only do you make the best recovery but also to future proof the area. We will aim to restore full movement and function wherever possible alongside decreasing pain with our manual therapy and hands on techniques. Whether you have never exercised in your life or are an elite athlete we have the knowledge
Diagnosis
As consultant physiotherapists with extensive experience working in general practice, we are very experienced in making diagnoses. We are passionate about coming up with a working diagnosis and will explain to you the process and how we have arrived at this conclusion. A thorough diagnosis and assessment increases the chance of a full recovery
Prehabilitation
Unlike Rehabilitation – Pre-habilitation is for the issues you know are coming or to prevent injury. Whether you are awaiting an operation such as a joint replacement or ligament repair. Or you are a sportsperson wanting to avoid common injury. We can help you prepare for what is to come.
.
Exercise Specialists
Unlike some physiotherapists we are true exercise specialists. Our team have over two decades experience in health and exercise, strength and conditioning and elite sport. We use our knowledge to train our team to think outside the box to tailor a bespoke exercise program for each individual client. This also means that we don’t need to give you huge amounts of exercises when they aren’t needed. In most cases we will give 3 exercises for you to work on and only progress when it is needed.
Manual therapy
We use a blend of chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage and osteopathic techniques. We’re lucky enough to have had experienced working with some fantastic practitioners from across all of the main manual therapy professions. Ankle pain to neck pain, good manual therapy can help reduce pain, increase range, and even improve confidence.
Education
If you don’t understand why you’re in pain or the purpose of an exercise or treatment, then you will struggle to make the improvements that you could. We believe that education is the key to success and vow that every client knows the what’s and whys by the end of the session. And no, there won’t be a lot of science or a lecture unless of course you want one.
