PHYSIOtherapy CHESHIRE EAST

Always an excellent treatment session at Invicta I always feel better walking out than I did when I walked in ..just had hard trigger point therapy and deep tissue work from James..I thoroughly recommend Invicta Health and performance

Great service a lot of help with my back issues, lots of tip to get back to normal movement and training after my injury

Great service from Olivia, helping a lot with Achilles tendinopathy issues. Everything is well organised and the information given on the injury has been really helpful for progressing through the treatment and recovery. Any information required from the practice team has also been quick and friendly.

I had my first physiotherapy session with James, and I left feeling really confident that I’ll be back to running three times a week without any pain. James took the time to understand both my goals and the issues with my ankle. He explained everything clearly, which gave me a lot of confidence in the treatment plan. He also gave me recommendations to work on before my next session and arranged for me to see the senior physiotherapist, Olivia, so we have a clear plan and goals moving forward. I’m feeling very positive about my recovery and would definitely recommend James and the team.

Exceptional diligence to figure out the root cause from James, he worked around timezones whilst I am in living in Los Angeles and gave me a clear plan of attack around rebuilding from the ground up. I also found the app extremely easy to navigate, it’s been great for programming my sessions and staying consistent. James also understood my work and family commitments and worked around that when focusing on my recovery. Overall super impressive.

James is a top guy trying to make my old knees function better Thanks James

Nice and friendly and supportive. Really helped me to get my knee pain back under control after just a few sessions

Olivia has helped me through multiple running injuries over the last year, providing expert advice, treatment, and support every step of the way. Thanks to her knowledge and expertise, I've been able to recover, get stronger and keep progressing towards my goal of completing a marathon this year. I couldn't have done it without her and would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with injuries or looking to improve their performance.

Big thanks to James for helping me with my recovery from scaphoid surgery . Extremely professional and knowledgeable.

I went to James with an oldish shoulder injury and despite this, they gave me options and confidence that this could improve with the right treatment and rehab. We have a clear path ahead to improve the injury and James is very clear in his instructions. The shoulder is improving and I have every confidence that it will continue to do so. I’m glad that I’ve found them!

Would highly recommend, quickly identified the root cause of my pain, explained everything clearly, and gave me a manageable home exercise plan that actually worked. Fantastic, professional care from start to finish

had issues with my right knee for a long time., which was causing me unbearable pain and stiffness . , booked in with Ben he was very professional and explained everything., I had a ultrasound which showed the issues , I then had two injections, which have helped very much , I would highly recommend Invicta and for future treatment I will return.

I have been to so many physiotherapists . James is the best physiotherapist I have come across. You won’t be sorry. Highly professional, very caring and knows his job. He has helped me recover after both my knee operations. Thank you James. I was lucky to find you. I would highly recommend this physiotherapist. Kamal

I went to see James regarding a hamstring injury that he really helped with. I mentioned that I have cervical stenosis. I had been to 2 other physiotherapists who failed to help even after numerous visits. I had given up on physiotherapy but James offered to help. What a difference he has made. Sessions can be uncomfortable but are beneficial. Thank you James.

Two years ago, I was told that I needed surgery on my shoulders as my tendons were like frayed ropes. I couldnt lift my arms higher than my shoulders and it was very painful at times. Instead I contacted Invicta. I am so glad I did. James asked me what I wanted to achieve..I replied that I was sailing in two months..would be great if I could manage the ropes. And thinking on..I wanted to trust my arms and shoulders again enough to get back climbing..plus be able to do a cartwheel again! In two months James had helped me regain 90% mobility in my shoulders and build back up the muscle enough to manage those ropes when I went sailing ( 36ft yacht so I needed that strength) Its now 2 years after and Ive been back out climbing..this weekend managing a classic slab grade 3 scramble in the Lakes that involved pulling myself up to get a foothold..free climbing up volcanic rock. And yes..I can do cartwheels again. I couldnt be more grateful to James.

I had three sessions with my physiotherapist, and I can honestly say he helped me so much. When I first came, I was in a lot of pain and struggling with my daily life. After just a few sessions, I felt a huge improvement and a great sense of relief. Thanks to his care, knowledge, and support, I can finally sleep well at night and enjoy quality time with my family again. I’m very grateful for the help I received and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and caring physiotherapist. Big Thank you from Adam

I have used Invicta several times over the last few years with various injuries and niggles from the gym. James and team are all extremely helpful, knowledgeable and approachable. James also helped my daughter (Holly) with her rehabilitation from an ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair operation. She is back fully fit and in the gym and playing football. Highly recommended.

Fantastic tailored support to help your physio needs, I would definitely recommend.

Had a cingal injection at Invicta health and it massively improved my knee problem.had a few physio sessions as well and made positive progress

Amazing physio so helpful really caring

James the physiotherapist I saw not only did a thorough initial examination and treatment plan but also gave me confidence in his and his teams ability to support me to full recovery to get my mobility back.I was frightened and confused but was soon put at ease and able to work with the exercises advice and treatment plan and shock wave treatment.A 1st Class proffesional company that I would whole heartedly recomend (retired nurse of 48years)

Olivia is great, she is very competent and professional in what she does. She talks to you on the same level, and I now consider her as a friend. My problem is now a lot better. Many thanks Olivia for the wonderful treatment you do!

Good cause for future health

A professional and friendly service. Offering thorough assessment of my issue and great knowledge and advice on recovery and prevention.

Really good experience with James, really knowledgeable and significantly improved my mobility following hip surgery. Great service.

Amazing service!

I can’t recommend James highly enough. He has been so patient and supportive throughout my treatment for ongoing shoulder issues. Following a steroid injection, the reduction in pain in my shoulder is lifechanging and I literally feel like a different person! Thank you!

James and his team were fantastic and after getting back into running after 25yrs, they got me through 2 half marathons and my first marathon at the age of 54! Thanks so much

Really good service, really helped with a long term injury

Josh provided an excellent physiotherapy service from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly during each session. His treatment plan was effective, and I noticed a real improvement in my mobility and pain levels much sooner than expected. Josh also made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the recovery process with his supportive approach. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and caring physiotherapist. The location of the clinic in Sandbach is excellent, with a calm and inviting atmosphere, and the admin/booking services were seamless and helpful. Highly recommended.

I was injured 10 days before a charity cycling challenge (360km around Mallorca in 4 days!) to the point where I couldn’t get on the bike when I first saw James. He took the time to build trust and confidence between the two of us to allow him to use a number of techniques to get me back comfortable on the bike. From traditional manual work, acupuncture and finally some manipulation in my neck. James is calm, knowledgeable but also confident in what’s needed and his abilities - exactly what you want. I’m normally a little uncomfortable with this type of stuff but James made me feel very comfortable, even offered to sing as he was working on my injury to distract me from the pain! He miraculously got me back on the bike in time, although I have to say at some point in the ride I wish he hadn’t! It was a tough challenge. I always recommend

Great, no nonsense consultation. The information was delivered clearly and exactly how I needed it. Unfortunately, the outcome was not the best news, with a possible meniscus tear identified, but I was very impressed with the clinic and the professionalism throughout. I’ll definitely be using the clinic again and plan to return in a month or so to reassess the injury.

Been with Josh for 7-8 weeks with an on going knee issue that I had for 2 months prior. Within the first session Josh got to the route of the problem very quickly. And with the exercise’s that Josh gave me and Josh’s knowledge I’m now back at work and doing normal day to day things pain free. Can’t thank him enough absolutely brilliant! Definitely would recommend.

I’ve been seeing Olivia for shin splints for the last few months. Olivia has been lovely and given plenty of advice and exercises to help with the pain, for which I’ve seen improvements over the course of the treatment. Super friendly and helpful, would recommend!

Josh is knowledgeable, professional & kind. He has given me my life back with a combination of exercises & therapy. Thank you Josh, I am so grateful!

After reading reviews for James, attended with him due to a knee injury and just over 2 months later am very happy that I did. Knee now pain free with full mobility and feeling stronger than it has done for some time. Thank you James, you're a good egg.

I’m so glad I found James at Invicta (through a friend’s recommendation). For the past two years, I’d been dealing with ongoing tension and discomfort in my upper body, along with some inflammation around my C7 that caused additional neck pain. Naturally, I was starting to worry that it might be something more serious. James quickly identified the issue and reassured me that it was a soft tissue problem rather than anything structural, which really put my mind at ease. He provided a tailored set of exercises to do at home, and I’ve already noticed a significant improvement. The dry needling combined with massage therapy has also made a big difference in reducing my tension headaches. I’m very grateful for James’s expertise and care, and I’ll definitely be continuing with regular maintenance appointments.

I went to see James 3 weeks ago with nerve pain that wasn’t helped by painkillers and was interrupting my sleep and all normal activities. I am now sleeping, off all painkillers and back to full functioning. We are now working on strengthening to prevent recurrence. I can’t recommend Invicta highly enough for their professionalism, knowledge and results.

Booked to see James because of a grumbling, desk job inspired, hip. James ran a number of tests and then gave me a programme of exercises that made a huge difference in a matter of a couple of weeks. He then tweaked things to work on that progress and my hip is now back to 95% of where it used to be. As a result I've asked him to take a look at my, quite frankly goosed, shoulder, and he immediately identified some new areas to work on. James really knows his stuff and is great company too. 100% recommended 👌

James was great! I came in not knowing what to expect but he set a plan out and explained how to reach my goals, even in the short time frame I gave him before needing to be fully fit. Would highly recommend!

Not only good physiotherapist but answered many questions about my well being and future progt

I was really happy with the service and support I received from Invicta health & performance. The treatment I received alongside the recommended exercises have positively treated the issue I went to see them about. I found the service professional at all times and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

What a difference. Amazing

I saw James for approximately 12 weeks, including 8 weeks of shockwave therapy for acute Achilles tendonitis. James was very knowledgeable and thorough in the initial assessment and explained how the treatment plan would work. After completing the treatment I was virtually pain free in one leg and greatly improved in the other. I highly recommend Invicta as a very professional physiotherapy service.

From start to finish the procedure was fully explained with no pressure to undergo the procedure -2 weeks on I am pain free and already walking without a limp

Fantastic place! You can really see how much they care about their patients and fixing their issues!

Everything was explained to me and the procedure done. Very clear and straightforward.

The team at Invicta are fabulous! Have seen James a few times for various ailments (the joy of getting older) but most recently for a shoulder injury. His care and attention in my most painful time was reassuring. He advised an ultrasound scan with Ben which led to needing an ultrasound guided steroid injection. Who was equally attentive and caring. And the speed it was all attended to made me feel cared for and understood. Then the relief was fantastic. Thank you to all the team for keeping me moving!

I was suffering with so much neck pain, for a week and was getting worse. Two trips to the doctors I was on strong painkillers weren’t touching it and I called 11 1 at one point as I couldn’t get out of bed. Wondering where do I go from here. I booked my appointment on a late Sunday night after messaging several places too try and get an appointment for the next day, fortunately I was able too. I was treated by Olivia, after the first session I became ‘ unlocked’ although still sore it was half as painful after 3 days I had another session and I’m a bit sore but able to return to work and full movement . I can’t recommend Olivia enough, this is the first time I’ve had physio and the effects of it is outstanding! Thankyou so much I’m happy to be out of pain and mental happier with that aswell. Highly recommend

When I booked in for my first appointment with James, I had already been struggling with my symptoms for about five months with no real diagnosis. Day-to-day tasks were really difficult and uncomfortable and I was at my wits end. James did a full assessment and set my expectations that this was probably going to be a long recovery. I’ve been working with James for about three months now and during that time I have had significant positive results, sooner than expected. We have built up a great rapport and he helped me to regain some confidence. I had lost with exercise. I would highly recommend James and the Services provided by Invicta

I've worked with James and the team on rehab for a shoulder injury over the last year. Their guidance and support has been fantastic, a really good programme to follow for recovery with progressions added at the right time based on my pace and tolerance levels. The Sandbach site is great with lots of parking. Highly recommend James and the team for any physiotherapy needs.

I spent months not getting anywhere with an NHS physio who just gave me and my shoulder some band exercises. Went to see James for a proper treatment plan. Only 3 sessions in and 80% better already. Do yourself a favour and book in if you have nagging pain or limited range of motion and want to get better.

It was easy to get an appointment and parking was a dream. I came in with a bad knee thinking I would need a walking stick and Alex reassured me and after four/five sessions I left with the confidence to control any further flare ups of my osteoarthritis . I am now able to enjoy my walking again - it was a miracle. Invicta Health is the best . Thank you so much Alex.

James at Invicta has been great throughout my treatment plan and the team were fast and efficient in getting me booked in and working within my timeframe. I would highly recommend!

Best in class would recommend to anyone in the Cheshire area

Would highly recommend Invicta. James has helped me with multiple different injuries and through the past year.

Top quality service from James. I can touch my toes again 😀

Olivia is knowledgeable, friendly and puts you at ease. She quickly sorted out my neck and shoulder pain through physiotherapy and I now go for monthly massages with her.

James has been simply amazing in his approach during my diagnosis & subsequent hip replacement surgery. His cruel to be kind approach kept me going through a very difficult period but his treatment and plan has meant I am now in better shape than I ever expected. Next year I hope to return to running as he has rebuilt me! Highly recommended for getting back from injury and seeing real results!

The team at Invicta are all great at their job and the treatment is always first rate.

Fantastic support as I prepared to run my first half marathon. James is super professional and I love the scientific/ data driven approach.

I booked an appointment with James at Invicta Health and Performance after breaking my ankle a few weeks previously and the swelling and pain were not subsiding. After my initial consultation where James and myself discussed my outlook and what I hoped to achieve, at that point it was just being pain free let alone being able to run again. After working with James and Olivia over the last 11 weeks I now have full mobility in my ankle, my pain is now at a level that it does not interfere with my daily life, and I have just started running again this week. James sets out clear aims for the session and gives you physio to carry out at home to complement the session. I can’t believe how quickly I’ve gone from not walking properly, not allowing anyone to touch my ankle to running and gaining my freedom back! I highly recommend James and his team at Invicta Health and Performance.

I've had a physio session with Olivia at the Holmes chapel site. Excellent treatment and very professional. I followed the video that told me how to find the office and it was very easy and plenty of parking.

Excellent! The treatment room was clean and tidy, Olivia was brilliant at her job including great people skills , which means a lot. The only slight negative is accessing the place! Thank you, Invicta.

Over the last year I’ve been struggling with shoulder pain. Started seeing James around 2 months ago. With all of his expert advice and training my shoulder are completely different. I feel strong and doing exercises I really struggled with before! James has been great throughout. Really couldn’t recommend James or Invicta enough!

Excellent and prompt service from Invicta health in Sandbach. Highly recommended.

James and Olivia were amazing, after great treatment they got me back to 100%. Would highly recommend

I was in quite some pain and fed up with myself, nothing seemed to be working and every day the pain was getting worse. I sought out Invicta physio from a Facebook post and had a consultation. James and I agreed a plan for my recovery. With the teams skill and support I am thrilled to be back running with my mates within 3 months. I've worked hard in the gym to get stronger under James guidance. The shockwave treatment helped me turn the final corner. Thank you Invicta physio.

All I can say is Alex is amazing! I saw her for pelvic physio and she made me feel at ease straight away, was so compassionate, and taught me so much about endometriosis. She always left me feeling empowered about my body, and worked with me to find alternative ways that supported my neurodivergent brain. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough!

Olivia at Invicta has been great at helping me with my lower back issues. She quickly diagnosed the problem and gave me the exercises to, firstly, get me out of pain, and then to build a solid core to get me back to my regular workouts. Definitely get in touch if you're in a similar position. (With Olivia, not me. I don't know the first thing about physiotherapy).

Really positive experience with some excellent advice and support on back issues

I saw James for a neck and shoulder problem that was causing me severe headaches. Even after one session I was vastly improved. Four sessions later I am fully back to normal. A first class experience and I would highly recommend this clinic.

Easy to get and make an appointment. Substantial amount of parking. Nice, clean setting. Friendly, supportive, non-judgemental support from a very knowledgeable Physiotherapist (James). I was asked lots of questions and had a physical examination to determine a diagnosis. James was respectful and kind at all times. I was given some exercises to start with and lots of information that left me feeling positive. My husband was with me and he was equally as impressed with the service that I received. 5 stars all day long!

I have been using Invicta since July following a knee injury playing hockey. James has provided me with a great rehab plan, in addition to weekly sessions. I am now back playing hockey and able to manage my injury. Massive thank you to both James and Liv!

Olivia has been brilliant at sorting out my ankle injury. Expert advice, always friendly and goes over and above to email me details of exercises that I need to be doing at home etc to get me back to full fitness. Would highly recommend.

Following a stroke 13 months ago I was left with a few issues one of which was that I couldn’t fully stretch out my right left which gave me quite a lot of discomfort when walking. I was told by my GP that this was something that couldn’t be cured. After just one session with James two weeks ago I regained full use of my leg and I am now fully active again. Better still two weeks on it is getting stronger each day I am over the moon with results and my confidence has come flooding back. I am so grateful to James 👏

Great service l, had back issues for years. But with the coaching and assessment through the 6 week program I feel lots better. Fully recommend

Can’t recommend James and Invicta highly enough. After shoulder surgery, James guided me through the rehab process with patience and expertise. I have regained full strength and confidence and I am now back to playing rugby. First class facilities and support. Fantastic physio and a better bloke!

I have been seeing Alex and she has been amazing throughout. She is extremely knowledgable and explains everything in the perfect level of detail. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Fantastic. I would highly recommend. James focussed on my specific symptoms and created a plan to suit me. I had instant improvement from the 1st session and subsequent sessions have continued my progress.

James was fantastic, the treatment and advice I've had meant that an elbow condition I had had for some time has been fully sorted. Thank you. Highly recommend Invicta.

I met James at the beginning of April 2025 from a recommendation for a triathlon club mate. James quickly identified the problem with my left knee and with my input formed a treatment plan for me. Throughout the whole course of treatment James explained the process which enabled me to make informed decisions (with his guidance) on next steps. I am pleased to say that after 10 weeks of treatment, my knee has gone from a 1/10 to a solid 8/10. I am very pleased with the progress amd will continue to work with James. I would and will recommend James to anyone who needs a physio. Thanks you so much for helping put me back on track. Best regards Jonathan - triathlete.

Excellent experience from start to finish. From mapping out the recovery journey of my knee injury from first assessment to building into specific targeting sports rehabilitation movements to get me back playing football. Would recommend to anyone serious about fixing long term problems

Great service, well explained, and helped me enormously with persistent pain. Fully recommended to anyone

So I first booked into see James after I had started to get a pain in my hip caused by running. He very quickly diagnosed the issue and after only 2 sessions I saw a massive improvement and following his advice I have been able to keep the injury at bay. I also had a follow up appointment with Liv who was brilliant. Would highly recommend everyone at Invicta

James has been fantastic in helping me recover from my recent foot surgery. His expertise and tailored exercises have made a huge difference. I now have a much greater field of movement and significantly less pain. Highly recommend!

Great service and very accommodating - really nice customer service and Olivia sorted my back out after years of neglect

Fantastic work and support from Alex. Got me back on track quickly post race and ready to attack the next 💪

Had a physio assessment with Olivia, she was professional, made me feel at ease, a thorough assessment. I felt really positive after the assessment, knowing that something could be done. I have a plan of action and goals that I feel can be fulfilled achieved. Thank you Invicta.

i didn’t think I’d be able to walk properly again after slipping a disc, let alone run and partake in sports. I was scared to even walk long distances. Not only did James give me confidence to be more active from my first session, i was walking without concern after just 2 sessions and James had me running again by session 6. Overjoyed with the service, skills, professionalism and care I’ve received!

Our experience at Invicta was fantastic from start to finish, James was patient and flexible and very attentive to how my daughter was responding to what he was proposing. Would definitely recommend Invicta to anyone batting from a sports or other injury that needs support.

Great customer experience from start to finish. The initial contact through to my final physio appointment has been nothing but faultless. I've used other physiotherapists and they don't come close to James and the team. I would highly recommend Invicta Health & Performance to anyone.

Natasha and Ben were brilliant. My Mum is in her 80s and has arthritis in her knees, they saw her quickly, made her feel safe and welcome and offered a range of options. Can't recommend highly enough!

James managed to get me in last minute which was greatly appreciated due to the pain and lack of movement I had. He is extremely knowledgeable and eased my pain significantly after just the first session. Would highly recommend. Thank you James ☺️

I had 5 sessions of physio at Invicta after injuring my back. Highly recommend, all the sessions were tailored to my needs and abilities. Made a great recovery, would definitely use again.

The standard of care delivered by the clinic was exceptional. Administration staff were polite, prompt and ever ready to answer my many queries. The actual procedure took place in a clean and safe environment. Ben was professional, knowledgeable and did his upmost to make me feel relaxed and calm. 10/10 Care!

I’ve been struggling with a recurring knee injury that stopped me from running, but thanks to James and Liv’s professional and highly knowledgeable approach, I’m finally on the road to recovery. They created a structured recovery plan combining targeted exercises and sports massage, which has been instrumental in rebuilding strength in the neglected muscles essential for running. I’m already seeing significant improvement and feeling more confident in my movement. Highly recommend their expertise.

I’ve been struggling with a recurring knee injury that stopped me from running, but James has been incredibly professional and knowledgeable throughout my recovery. He provided a structured recovery plan with targeted exercises to strengthen the neglected muscles essential for running. Thanks to his guidance, I’m seeing real improvements and feeling stronger. With clear goals set, I’m confident I’ll be back at the start line, ready to complete my marathon 🤞🏼

I attended a knee Osteoarthritis workshop with James last week. I was amazed at how much information he gave and how well he explained everything, in terms that I could easily understand. I had seen a consultant who offered me a knee replacement. Nobody had explained exactly how many options are available and how I could potentially avoid surgery. I came away relieved that I had an option and booked a session with him for a week later for an assessment. Today I had an hour session with him. He tested my leg strength, which is pretty rubbish to be honest. But I really feel that with the exercises he has given me I will once again be walking my ten miles but most importantly I feel I will be able to do it comfortably. I’m the wrong side of 70 and I’m very keen to keep my independence for as long as possible, the option of just waiting until I can no longer walk and have surgery is not an option I can easily accept. What a patient man James is. He explained everything so well and answered all my questions. I’ve come away with a plan, exercises to do to build my leg strength and I feel I have found the right option for myself and that it’s something I can achieve. I look forward to seeing an improvement at my next appointment James. If you or someone you know has been told you have knee Osteoarthritis then I would very highly recommend joining his workshop. Thank you so much James

Best physiotherapist. Very effective and experienced. Really would recommend for anyone with sports related injuries or anyone with injury preventing them from doing sports. James has really helped me understand what exercises I should do and which I should avoid during my rehabilitation and has set a realistic programme to do between sessions.
