Foot Care in Pontefract

I had 3 months of physio with Ally to assist with an intermittent knee pain from football and running, it wasn’t easy to diagnose but Ally looked at my walking and running form and gave me tips and exercises which helped me reach my goal of a sub-1:30 half marathon pain free. Would recommend to anyone struggling with an injury.

Very good experience in helping me understand my injury and now were working towards a successful recovery

Fantastic experience with Ropergate physio. Matt is a fantastic physiotherapist and massively helped with the issue I had with my back.

Had a few sessions now, never had a problem, if you have any questions they are answered, also explain what they are doing too. Get an appointment booked you won't regret it.

Liam is very welcoming. Polite, knowledgeable. Encourages you. Thanks Liam

Did thorough job of my feet

I started going to Ropergate physio clinic around a few months ago. I currently have a 30 min massage with Mat. This place is very easy to book and to get specialist advice from. Upon entering the building for your appointment you a greeted by a very narrow waiting area with a few chairs, and at your appointment you are shown to your massage room. Upon entering the room I noticed it was all very clean and tidy and everything in place(I've visited quite a few massage pherapists over the years). Matt is very knowledgeable and explains to you where abouts the pain or areas that you might need attention to. He's very firm but he explains this to you. Upon leaving the physio clinic I felt more at easy and in less pain in my shoulders/back area than previously. I recommend Ropergate physio clinic as they made me feel welcome and they were friendly and polite, the treatment and service provided is what I generally expect of a place like this too. Prices are within the usual going rate for this type of service. If you need to rebook it's quite an easy option to do either by telephone or by rebooking on their online website portal. I've not tried any other of the treatments offered as of yet so I haven't reviewed that part currently. However parking is quite easy to park and free if you can get there in an evening or possible weekend, and their timeslots to suit your needs were quite convenient for me to book my selected times.

Matt was brilliant! Made me feel comfortable, provided a great massage and further shared his knowledge on how to avoid my current issues from further developing. 10/10 experience, recommend!

I first started to see Ally when I had back and hip pain. She gave me exercises to do at home and hands on manipulation and acupuncture in the clinic which eased the back symptoms, but it turned out although she was managing to keep my hip fairly mobile I really needed a hip replacement. She supported me while I waited for the operation and then once it was done, she was great with recommending suitable exercises for every stage of my recovery. It’s now 7 months after my operation and I am pain free and even able to jog short distances. My mobility now is even better than in the years before the operation. Ally has been huge help in my recovery, she assessed my issues at every stage and took the time to explain what was happening to my body. She always answers any queries I have and is very knowledgeable and caring. She’s been amazing throughout the time I’ve been seeing her and I would totally recommend the Clinic!

I went to the physiotherapy centre and met Liam who was very helpful and I left with knowledge of my problem and a full plan in place to help my recovery, personally I feel it was worth the time and effort to make the appointment and take the next steps.

I was suffering pain in my arm and elbow and unfortunately I was not able to secure an NHS appointment. I was left in pain with only a telephone appointment offered a couple of months away, so with no diagnosis and the pain worsening I was feeling pretty miserable. I made an appointment with Liam at Ropergate Physio. He immediately gave me an opinion and clear guidance how we would manage this pain. Most importantly reassurance that the pain will go away. It is the best thing I could have possibly done. A few months down the line, with gentle exercise gradually building and Liams support, the pain has almost gone and I am feeling much better in myself. I would highly recommend Ropergate Physio. The prices are reasonable and they know their stuff!

Matt was great in breaking down the tightness around my lower back and upper pec area. This was my first massage I’ve ever had and it was very much worth the money, considering the insight and advice I received on how to adapt moving forward

Well over 40 years of competitive sport has taken a toll on my body. I was struggling with all aspects of training, so decided to take a punt on physio. I’m so glad I opted for Ropergate Physio. Over the past 12 months Ally has been putting me back together and her advice has been priceless. I feel stronger and confident whilst training and it certainly goes to show resting is not the answer. I also have regular sports massages with Matt, which I can’t rate highly enough. I feel the combination of both Physio and massage will keep my training at peak for many more years to come

I have recently attended my first appointment at the Physio Clinic on Ropergate, Pontefract. My appointment was with Mr Bartie. I discussed my issues regarding my back, Mr Bartie then explained the treatment I would require throughly during my consultation period. He then began the actual treatment that was long needed I can honestly say that I felt the benefit of my first session later that evening. And I’m looking forward to my next appointment next week.

Excellent service and help from Ally and her team, friendly, helpful and professional, thanks

On time. Thorough analysis of my issues and active physio, unlike th NHS who never lay hands on which is a waste of time. Comprehensive follow up exercises and felt instant pain relief as I walked home. Looking forward to next appointment

Great service from Liam. Knowledgeable, explains things simply, easy to work with…would recommend

I have genuinely received 5 star physiotherapy and acupuncture treatments both treatments have reduced my pain and inflammation in my joints allowing me more flexibility and movement. I would highly recommend Ropergate Physio clinic unconditionally for both there professionalism and there treatments truly a 5 star service

I've always found the team here great at their job, helping my husband be pain free. Ally has been wonderful at arranging appointments to suit us.

Would recommend ropergate physio clinic to everyone I had a nasty fall which hurt my right foot and fractured my right arm struggling to get mobility back went to see Ally and she worked wonders after several visits I could lift my arm and walk without limping

Thank you Ali , I had a painful back issue and with help and advice from you I am so much better . Much appreciated Having returned with a lower back problem I had a sports massage with Matt . It has eased my back tremendously and giving the confidence to go on holiday . Thanks a lot John

Ally is just the best. Every time I turn up with an ache or pain she knows how to help. Whether it be physio, sports massage or acupuncture she assesses what I need and I always leave feeling better. She is friendly and professional and after each consultation she advises on exercises I can do on my own to help me improve. I would 100% recommend Ally for all your physio requirements!

Fantastic , very knowledgeable from all 3 therapists Definitely recommend *****

Great service. Matt kindly fit me in at short notice following a trauma incident causing sciatica pain. Matt was very knowledgeable and explained the techniques he was doing and how it could help. After only one session the sciatic pain improved considerably.

Claire was very professional and very pleasant, She relaxed me from the start and gave me much needed advice and reassurance brilliant experience from the booking with Alison to the foot treatment thanks to all 👍

Very good went about her work confidently and carefully

I can’t recommend Matt Heaton enough. I went in with a lot of tension and discomfort in my back and after the massage he gave me I felt a huge improvement. Matt is professional, knowledgeable and really takes the time to focus on the areas that need attention. The sports massage was one of the best I’ve had in all honesty, leaving my back feeling much looser and far more comfortable. On top of that the pricing is extremely competitive and offers fantastic value for the quality of treatment you receive. If you’re looking for an excellent massage therapist who delivers great results at a very reasonable price, I would definitely recommend Matt Heaton. Thank you Matt!!

Happy with the work Claire did on my corns and will be going back there👍

Had a sports massage with Liam focusing on my shoulders and neck, which have been a problem area for me. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain what was causing the tension. He also gave me some exercises to work on at home, and I've already noticed an improvement. Highly recommend Liam to anyone dealing with muscle tightness or discomfort.

I was in so much pain with the trapped nerve in my back , i could hardly walk , i went to Ali for acupuncture & six weeks on i'm walking much better & my pain is dramatically improved , she's friendly & profesional , i would definately recomend this practice

Testimonial for Ally – physiotherapist. After sustaining a multi break clavicle, seven broken ribs and a medial tear to my knee from a Skiing accident in 🇨🇭 Switzerland , I wanted to get back to full fitness within three months. After visiting Ally and having an initial consultation, the reply was if you stay focused and work with me, we will do our best together to get back to full fitness , my greatest concern was not being able to move my shoulder fully ever again and also maybe to have long-term pain. Having my own natural health business and working in the medical equipment field for many years, focus and honesty are high on my value scale, and after meeting with Ally , Ally gave me amazing guidance with regular ( gentle then later tough ) exercises to do and yes every time I went to see Ally I was very excited for the next stage, however, I knew that there was going to be some pain involved, but when I left every single time I had a little bit more movement in my shoulder. This combined with bone healing nutrition and a few targeted natural supplements , I was so pleased when after three months I could fully move my shoulder again after this major surgery. It’s been 4 years now, I am back to extreme hiking and hiking with a fully loaded rucksack !! I also went back to skiing a year after the accident, and although I had a bit of anxiety to go skiing again, I’m now fully confident and skiing those icy black runs again with confidence . With total confidence in my heart, Ally and her expertise in any situation of physiotherapy, knowing that she has the experience and the skill to adapt from Patient to patient. Thank you again Phil Pickles from Yorkshire 🤩

I first went to Ally for treatment for a back problem, and concerned about my weight loss she recommended I go to my GP. Within about 3 weeks I had been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer and was starting hormone injections, which quickly brought down my PSA from 567 to 50.4. I have now started further treatment in tablet form in addition to the ongoing injections, to be supplemented soon by radiotherapy. I am extremely grateful to Ally for setting this chain of events in motion, enabling them to gain control of the cancer before it has had chance to spread too far. In the meantime I am going regularly for massage at the clinic which I find highly relaxing and would recommend to anyone.

Had an appointment last week it was 100% professional x from booking to my session with Mrs hickman x she has made so much difference to my toe which Had a trauma and it looks so much better x ty x

This was my first time at ropergate physio clinic, and it definitely won't be the last. I would recommend Matt to anyone. Not only was he friendly, and chatty, but he knew what my needs were and how he could improve them. The aches, pains and stiffness in my legs soon disappeared.

I go to Ally on a monthly basis, and feel that she keeps me more supple than would otherwise be the case. She can pinpoint problems and deal with them appropriately. Recently I sprained an ankle rather badly. Ally examined it, told me how long it would take to recover, and gave me excellent instructions; it's almost back to normal. I have no hesitation in awarding five stars.

Had a consultation with Liam and instantly put me at ease,the diagnosis that he gave me was to try and have physio / steroid injection to reduce the swelling of my right knee.

Clare is extremely knowledgeable and professional. My GP couldnt really help and Clare solved the problem on one appointment. Highly recommend for all things Podiatry

Liam was fantastic and really put me at ease right from the start of the consultation. He has healing hands, and is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. After 7 months of struggling with lower back pain my only regret is that I wish I had booked in sooner.

The receptionist was very friendly indeed. Claire was very good and sorted my bit toe nails out. thank you

Would highly recommend Liam at Ropergate Physiotherapy, Very thorough assessment, and takes time to listen to what your symptoms are before ensuring any treatment starts.

Claire was very thorough in checking my feet. I felt that she had found all the problems on my feet and I will be making another appointment.

Very knowledgeable treatment has improved my pain after only one session.

Great experience – was seen on the same day. Had some pain from running but was able to get everything looked at and assessed which gave me the confidence I needed. Also was provided with an exercise programme too.

Claire was brilliant, she made me feel as relaxed as she possibly could. Very lovely lady, she made the very best of an awful situation with an infected ingrowing toenail

I came here after running the London Marathon and was in absolute bits. Matt was amazing and sorted me out completely. Worth every penny and have recommended to many others who will be in the same position as I was! Thank you!

Thank you so much Liam for my first physio session, I’m already feeling the benefit so glad I made the choice to add on some private sessions to help recover from my injury. You’ve made me feel so much better about the recovery. Cant wait for the next one and to start seeing actual progress!! After having NHS physio I just felt it wasn’t enough, went to see Liam and I’m so glad I did 😊

I have used many physiotherapists and Ally is the best physiotherapist I have ever worked with. She is extremely knowledgeable and she’s helped me get back to my competitive sport sooner than I could have asked for! She’s a great person too. I couldn’t recommend Ropergate Physio and their services enough!

Excellent service . Liam explained everything clearly, about possible cause and subsequent treatment. Not the most enjoyable treatment but as gentle as he could be! Thank you

I’ve been seeing Ally for more than 6 months for an ongoing hip problem and I’ve got to say she’s been amazing ! She’s very knowledgeable and encouraged me to challenge myself. I wouldn’t have got as far as I have without her. I will definitely return in future if the need arises.

Very professional and explained everything very thoroughly. Really happy with the treatment from Liam and how comfortable he made me during the physio session

Went to Ropergate Physio for a sports massage with Matt after running the Manchester Marathon and dealing with some plantar pain and really tight muscles. Matt was great really knowledgeable and took the time to understand what was going on rather than just rushing through it. The treatment itself was spot on, exactly what I needed after the race. Woke up today feeling fresh and a big improvement already. Would definitely recommend and will be going back 👍

Had physio and acupuncture with Ally over last few months for low back/SI joint pain – an excellent physio and human. Lots of knowledge, care and empathy.

Would definitely recommend Claire she's been absolutely fantastic so lovely & good at her job. I'd not heard of podiatry before the doctors no longer treat issues with feet ect but Claire has worked wonders in just 1 appointment. I will be visiting again & look forward to the experience 😀

Really enjoyable experience, very knowledgeable person would recommend to anyone

We are really happy that we found this clinic. Ally is the best physiotherapist we had in years. Ally helped with several different issues and on a personal level it is genuinely pleasant experience.

Fantastic service and solved a long term issue Would use again, can’t recommend enough

Had a great podiatry appointment with Claire yesterday 👣 She was really thorough and gave me a clear plan to fix a long-standing toenail issue. My feet feel amazing – easily the best treatment I’ve had!

Ally is amazing. After surgery and a few left over complications I was feeling pretty broken. Ally listened to all my problems and came up with a plan. I feel like a different person today. Acupuncture, Physio and a work out plan have been a key part of my re-hab. I have been to see Claire too for myself and my kid who had an ingrown toenail. Claire was lovely and explained everything she was doing to put my kid at ease. We have not had an issue with the toe since. Book in asap, don't put YOU off any longer.

I came to Ally with a slipped disc in November. I was in agony. Ally was amazing. She took time to fully assess the injury, actually got hands on and manipulated my back and hip and gave me challenging yet manageable strengthening exercises that quickly helped my back to heal and strengthen. I would heartily recommend her and if I ever am unfortunate enough to suffer from issues in the future, I’ll definitely be a return customer.

Feel so much better

My appointment with Liam was excellent. He explained everything to me and gave me different options to do the exercises to suit me. I felt very comfortable as I was nervous. His expertise is second to none. Thankyou Janet Crosby.

Came to Ally with chronic ankle instability from years of sprains. Within 3 months I started to get confidence back in my ankles again for the first time in a long time, and have only gone from strength to strength since then. Cannot recommend her enough, everything was tailored to my own body and alignment, picking up other weak areas that we worked on as well. Couldn’t ask for more!

I share good first experience

We booked an appointment with Claire the Podiatrist. Right from the off set she made us feel welcome and at ease, she gave a through exanimation, treatment and follow-up steps. Would recommend – thank you!

I had my first appt with Liam who was brilliant. I’ve struggled with back pain for years and finally decided to do something about it. Liam was thorough and explained everything to me. I came away feeling relaxed and with a full care plan!

I’ve now had 2 appointments with Liam, and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He is very professional and knows his stuff well, I have been able to feel a great improvement in mobility and pain levels. Would highly recommend him!

Ally is simply an outstanding physio! As a runner I’ve always struggled with my achilles when increasing my distance which always impacted my performance. However, since meeting Ally I can happily (and gratefully) say I no longer have this issue. Her assessment and rehab is so incredibly personalised and you can really see her sport performance and biomechanics knowledge shine through which fitted me perfectly. The entire team are so incredibly friendly also. Would highly recommend this clinic from start to finish!

I’ve been seeing Liam for a shoulder injury which was very painful. From the start I felt very comfortable and Liam took time to understand my problem. I’ve had four sessions of physio and I have full movement and no pain. I would highly recommend Liam and Pontefract physio to anyone.

After speaking to Ally regarding an acute problem, a speedy appointment with Liam was given .A detailed professional consultation and initial treatment followed with a plan/advice for rehabilitation. Great positive attitude/care from the staff at this place.

Excellent experience with Matt. Can't wait to visit again. I've clearly been wasting money with other physios.

I had 6 session of acupuncture with Ally, after suffering for years with pain and discomfort in my lower back. She put together an exercise plan and made me feel so comfortable showing me how to do the exercises to relax muscles. After 6weeks of sessions and "putting the world to rights" with our weekly conversations im feeling loads better. Such a lovely & friendly person and service. Will be definitely recommending to anyone who is looking for physio or acupuncture

Claire the podiatrist did a fantastic job on my feet . She is such a lovely person too. . I'm now much happier golfing now my feet are comfortable . Claire is very knowledgeable and incredibly good . .my wife went too she is so happy with Claire too . Highly recommended . First class practice . Thank you

Was sceptical about going but need to try something as my back was unbearable and was unable to sleep most nights went Friday morning slept like a log Friday night

Can’t thank Ally enough for her help over the last few months with my sciatica like pain in my leg, after trying other places to no avail. very knowledgeable, helpful and you can have a laugh especially through a pretty miserable time! Struggled to tie my own shoe laces before the 1st session and now I’m almost pain free!

Nice friendly atmosphere, Claire was very good and explained everything clearly. Would highly recommend.

First class treatment given. Solved my mobility issues which has given me back my ability to continue my sporting activities. They also have massage appointments which aids full recovery . The staff are professional friendly and very attentive to the clients needs and difficulties. Wouldn’t hesitant to visit them again if neede .

Initial podiatry appointment with Claire. Excellent care, left feeling ready to dance!

Excellent

Definitely one of the best physio’s i have ever seen. Knew exactly where my pain was and the home rehab program given to me was perfect. After a bad fall and a break in my patella actually got my back running after a few appointments. Could not recommend enough 👌🏼

I first visited last year after injuring my Achilles. I struggled to walk pain free. Ally and the on site Pediatrist quickly and accurately diagnosed my problem. Now after a combination of Physio and sports massage from the team, im training for an Ultra Marathon in the summer pain free. Cant ask for better than that.

I’ve been seeing Ally for physiotherapy for my neck, back and shoulders for more than a year, and my experience has been fantastic. From the start, Ally took the time to really understand my medical condition and the ongoing challenges with my mobility. She combines expert, targeted training with exactly the right muscle release techniques, which has made a huge difference in managing pain and improving how I move day to day. Ally's approach is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, and I always feel confident that I’m in safe hands. I would highly recommend Ally to anyone who needs physiotherapy and wants long-term, effective results.

Ally was very knowledgeable about my situation and actually put into context what was happening to me. I'm currently having accuputure to improve blood flow after a collapse in the supermarket and sports massage to ease my tense muscles, not having realised how it was actually effecting other parts of my body. After medical advise, If you are still unsure about alternative therapies i would recommend it whole heartedly. After a couple of sessions I feel more like myself. I can't thank you enough.
