Lisa Eastlake

Nic is extremely knowledgeable, very patient and a total professional. I herniated a disc in my lower back (although I didn’t know that when I first visited!) - but Nic took the time to assess and then explain what had happened, detailing the structures affected, how to manage the issue, etc.
Within 3 weeks I am pretty much back to normal mobility with little to no pain, and slowly getting back to normal physical activities. He has answered every question I had, always made sure I was comfortable during the sessions and not in pain at any point.
Thanks Nic!

Fran

I can't recommend Nic enough! After several months of dealing with unexplained knee pain, he was able to pinpoint the issue and create a treatment plan that brought steady improvement each week. He's incredibly knowledgeable, patient and takes the time to explain everything clearly. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the process. I'd absolutely return for any future physiotherapy needs and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.

Cordelia Edwards Rentsch

I had a fantastic experience due to the excellent care I received from Johannes Mare who I can not recommend enough. He was extremely knowledgeable and quickly diagnosed my issue which my previous physio was unable to resolve. He gave clear instructions on what exercises to do and why they were important. I was able to make great progress and resolve my issue which has been a fantastic result. I cannot recommend Johannes enough! Thank you so much

Shawn Webster

Brilliant!

Johannes Mare was brilliant. Went in with a wrist injury and within one appointment it felt better. Had 2 follow up sessions where Johannes gave me some advice on how diet and holding weights can help improve injury prevention before giving me the all clear. Would defintely recommend.

Mark

Great physio sessions with Johannes Maré to treat a repetitive injury - good sessions, with accessible advice and positive outcomes.

Fiona McDonald

I saw Nic mare following a car crash, and he was great. Very knowledgeable and informative. He put me at ease and after my first session I was already in much less pain than before I entered the treatment room.

Claire Clark

Nic has been amazing throughout, the physio was arranged via my insurance company following a car accident. Nic took the time and actively listened, he ascertained my problem areas and manipulated these whilst issuing me gentle but yet very easy exercises to do at home. He really helped and offered valuable techniques to support my recovery for my back, shoulder and neck.

I would highly recommend Nic, he’s professional but yet very personable and friendly - he has the knowledge and expertise in order to assist with the pain.

Peter Duffield

Nic is an excellent therapist

From the first session with Nic my neck and shoulder pain has reduced dramatically, He initially explained what the problem was and treated me with care and consideration, now after three sessions my pain has gone. I would certainly recommend Nic to anyone with similar problems.

Dr Alison

Very pleased with Nic in Glasgow

I was pleasantly impressed by my appointment with Nic Mare today in Glasgow. The building is clean and modern, and I was taken on time. My issue was assessed and treated appropriately - and I’ve been provided with an exercise routine to continue with my recovery. It is perhaps too early to assess the results of the plan however I’m optimistic that it will help. I really liked that Nic was “hands on” rather than just talk, and I felt confident in his ability.

Scott McCallum

I went to see my Glasgow physio, Nic, with very bad back pain. He was able to identify the pain points immediately and start working them by stretching and applying pressure to certain areas. I felt immediate progress and have been following the stretches provided, which have been helping.

If I've had any questions between sessions, he has given me answers through a phone call or email.

Mr Mellon

Physiotherapist, Nic, in Glasgow, was very instructive, experienced and kind providing therapy for an injury to my back. The massage was deep and beneficial. Further, Nic recommended exercises that helped to strengthen the back, aiding my recovery. I highly recommend his therapy.

Berry Kamp

Johannes and his assistant were both absolutely lovely, it's likely the best physio experience I've ever had. Would recommend it to anyone.

Ruaridh Wilson

Johannes was very professional and knowledgeable and explained everything clearly.

Hugo Callum

Received absolutely excellent treatment from Johannes Mare and his assistant, to some damaged knee ligaments, top notch, very professional, I would definitely recommend this service to anyone.

Khi Leonard

Johannes was fantastic, he got right to the heart of the problem very quickly and I saw immediate results. Thankfully his banter is good enough that you barely notice his steely grip working on Your sure bits.

Emily

I’ve had three brilliant sessions to help with issues in my neck and back. Nic was friendly, professional and extremely helpful - resolving my pain and giving me exercises that are manageable even in late pregnancy. Would highly recommend him.

Geoff Techer

Had a block booking with Nic after a car accident to help with neck pain. Nic was excellent and I seen real improvements after physio sessions. Advice on posture and home exercises have also helped.

Andrew Christie

Thanks to Johannes Mare in Glasgow for the treatment and support. Kept me well informed and have improved.

G Lee

I was experiencing foot pain and was referred to a physio for treatment. Johannes and Nic in Glasgow make a great team. Through questioning Johannes quickly identified the root cause and using massage and an exercise programme I’m now pain free. They made me feel very comfortable during my appointments and I would thoroughly recommend.

Gerrard Crawley

Attended six physio sessions to get attention on neck and shoulder pain.

Was seen by Johannes and after six weeks pain free and all movement back in neck and shoulders.

Ross

Johannesburg (Nic) is head and shoulders above any previous physio i have had. More progress i 2 sessions than in months previous.
Really knows his stuff, explained my injury clearly and gave Gray guidance.

Peter Graham

Once again really delighted with my outcomes with Nic. I have been discharged today and the difference in my neck pain is night and day -huge improvement. As I've said before Nic is properly hands on and actually treats the affected areas with suitable manipulations etc (sorry - not a technical term!). If my condition returns or i have other issues i will be going back to Nic. Highly recommended.

Josh Scally

Nic in Glasgow set me up a great treatment plan and got me through a marathon that was looking unlikely at the start.

David W

Physio Nic not only helped physically considerably ease my back pain (likely caused by poor posture/long hours at a desk) but he also explained expertly the mechanics behind the issue and what is required of me to solve it long-term. It was a friendly and relaxed atmosphere also and the communication around appointments etc was very professional. Would thoroughly recommend. I had around eight sessions over 2 months.

Bilen Mujdaba

I’ve had five sessions with Nic in Glasgow. and I’m really pleased with the results. My muscles feel much more relaxed, the pain has noticeably decreased, and the exercises and posture advice have made a real difference. Highly recommend Nic for anyone looking for professional and effective physiotherapy.

Craig Millar

I've been seeing Nic in Glasgow for 3 weeks now, for a neck/back injury. Since starting treatment my pain has reduced noticeably, and my mobility has increased.

Aaron Smith

Nick at Glasgow was fantastic - took time to diagnose my foot pain was a nerve issue in my back. Provided helpful stretches and was attentive to my needs.

Fraser M

I have been receiving treatment for a trapped nerve & I can’t recommend Nick enough. He is welcoming, patient & extremely knowledgeable. When I 1st went to Nick I was in a great deal of pain and worried about how my injury would affect my work but Nick put me at ease and massively reduced pain I was in.

Derek Campbell

Brilliant experience with Nic. I had a painful shoulder, and he identified the problem within a couple of minutes. Worked with him over 6 weeks to correct my posture and I'm now back lifting weights.

Kate F

After previously seeing 2 different physiotherapists for an ongoing knee issue, I was referred to Nic Mare. Straight away it was obvious how knowledgeable and experienced Nic was. The improvement in my knee after my first session was astounding after suffering for months. The rehabilitation programme he gave me was straightforward, non-complicated, very achievable, and easy to slot into my everyday life. I cannot recommend Nic highly enough!"

Scott Mccallum

I went to see my Glasgow physio, Nic, with very bad back pain. He was able to identify the pain points immediately and start working them by stretching and applying pressure to certain areas. I felt immediate progress and have been following the stretches provided through the app, which have been helping.

Scott

Thank you Nick.  I had Nick as my Physio in Glasgow over a 4 month period and I can honestly say he can work wonders...simply put , he fixed me...Thank you Nick.

Will

I have just finished a course of… I have just finished a course of physiotherapy after being injured in a car accident. I can only thank the wonderful Nick at the Glasgow clinic for his wonderful work in sorting the cause of my pain

Sam Wardrop

Nick my South African Physio in Glasgow located my injury on the first appointment and knew exactly what was wrong. By session 3 my shoulder had gone from a 9/10 of pain right down to a 1/10 of pain. He advised me on stretches, exercises and things to avoid which will ensure no re injury. Thanks Nick!

Fiona McDonald

I saw Nic Mare following a car crash, and he was great. Very knowledgeable and informative. He put me at ease and after my first session, I was already in much less pain than before I entered the treatment room.

Dean Mitchell

I've been seeing Nic Mare for my on going back problems. The treatment has been top notch every session. Feel great after the treatment session. Would really recommend 👌. Thanks to him and his assistant they make the experience so nice and friendly. Thanks guys.

Anupam

It's been a great experience being treated by Nick. I had been suffering with knee and back pain. Nick knew exactly what the issue were and went about fixing them. He also identified that my knee pain was related to my back pain. My back pain almost disappeared in a week.
I would recommend Nick any day.

Mhairi

Nick was great! Diagnosed my hip pain as nerve related as a result of a squashed disc in my back straight away and got me back on track with my marathon training.

MB

Had a series of sessions for my hip and lower back.
Physio was incredibly knowledgeable about issues and seemed to be able to predict exactly what kind of activity led to the pain I was feeling.
He educated me on what the causes were and what I could do and always relieved the pain skilfully.

Martin H

I had five appointments with Nick. At the start I could barely put weight on my left foot. By the end the improvement was remarkable

Iquo

Nick my physiotherapist is such a lovely and professional person. He's never in a hurry and takes his time to listen, attentively to understand your pains and feelings and encourages you to push through towards recovery.
I always feel much better after every session.
Thanks for making me feel so much better!

Frank Q

Following a car accident, my shoulder got injured.

My physio was called Nick. I can honestly say his expertise, advice and guidance has been 5 star. I am today discharged from further sessions as my injury has recovered so well. In addition to his expertise, Nick was also very personable and made me feel at ease throughout with his humour and conversation.
I would definitely go to him again and seek to get Nick where possible.
