I've been doing online Pilates classes with Kate Hindley. Kate is a fabulous teacher: she always explains the exercises really well, including where you should be feeling the stretch or fatigue. She offers corrections gently without singling anyone out, and provides lots of options for participants of different abilities. The classes are great exercise and have helped me to build strength and fitness. Highly recommended.

Kate is a fantastic physio. Her plans and advice are so targeted to your individual needs, she really works with you. I went in to my first session with her injured and knowing very little about strength and conditioning; I came out not only feeling better but with a comprehensive route to healing and prevention of future injuries.

Ive seen Kate Hindley over the course of a year for two separate issues: sciatica and later a knee injury, and the care has been excellent throughout.
Kate carried out thorough assessments, clearly explained each issue, and provided tailored treatment plans that really worked. The hands-on treatment and exercises helped relieve pain, improve mobility, and support long-term recovery.
She is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring, and appointments never felt rushed. I would highly recommend Kate Hindley to anyone looking for high-quality physiotherapy.

Absolutely amazing service, Kate is ever so talented and passionate in her job she doesnt just work with the client regarding their health, but also mentions general daily routine, life goals and a better quality of life. I ask God to guide her to everything that is beautiful and successful me as an individual with scoliosis she is skilled and well educated. Thank you so much from all the work that you guys provide.

My 1st session with Amy was great, I went in with pain in my back and very little movement in my lower back, with Amy and her magic elbows I could feel the difference after the session and can move a little freely. Her information and knowledge is fantastic. Many thanks Amy.. looking forward to the next visit. Steve.

My son went to Altius after having shoulder surgery after having a rugby injury and after one session the difference was amazing he could actually move it again. The exercises and follow up treatment that Doug has given my son has made such a difference. Doug was very friendly and reassuring and came up with a good plan as we live 185 miles away from the clinic but well worth travelling that far to find a physio to get my son back fit and ready for next season. I would highly recommend Altius as all staff I have seen are friendly and helpful.

I attended the clinic in Manchester centre -Bloc.
Went in with diagnosed biceps tendonopathy from climbing and saw Doug Jones, who is an expert with climbing injuries.
He immediately realised this was actually radiculopathy instead and started to treat.
45 minutes later and I'm already feeling better! A few more sessions and hopefully I'll be done.
I would wholeheartedly recommend seeing Doug at Altius if you need any physiotherapy.
