“I had three months of physiotherapy with Dave Mercy starting in June 2025 to help rehabilitate my right foot following a medically necessary operation to break and re-position my heel bone following a diagnosis tibialis posterior tendinopathy with a split tear. The physiotherapy started approx three months after surgery. Dave helped me to progress from being in an air-cast boot on my first visit and unable to put my weight through my foot, onto massages to reduce and eventually eradicate the post surgical swelling in my foot, onto a range of exercises in the gym to exercise, stretch and strengthen my foot and allow me to complete everyday activities that I can now once again enjoy. The support that Dave provided was comforting in the early days and then as the gym exercises progressed, Dave was encouraging and challenged me to develop my foot strength, flexibility, and gave me the confidence to put my full weight through my foot and complete a wide range of exercises that I didn’t think would be possible. I am walking well and whilst the finer aspects of my foot recovery will take longer to achieve, for now I can walk without the pain I previously had, which is a massive achievement. Thanks Dave, you had a hugely positive impact on my level of recovery!”

“In all honesty, I’m still trying to get my head around how someone can be so brilliant at their job. I’d seen this noted in the other reviews, but Val really is so incredibly knowledgeable and comprehensive. I had been nursing a running-related injury for just under 3 months, with little to no progress working with another physio. Using dynamic assessment methods and a hands on approach - Val picked up on injuries old and new that were getting aggravated and flaring up. After just 2.5 hours/sessions (in under two weeks). I’m back running at intensity and distance, and was also given fantastic pointers on how to improve my running gait and efficiency. Val herself is also incredibly kind and warm, so it was a pleasure to be in her clinic. 5 stars isn’t enough - thank you!”

“I'm uncomfortable with anything to do with eyes (I'll never be a contact lens wearer) so was a bit fearful of cateract surgery. All I can say is that from pre-op through to the operation and discharge I felt welcome and very well cared for. The procedure itself was pain-free with only the tinyest amount pressure being felt (I'm expecting far worse when I have a trip to the dentist next week!) It is now a week after my operation and it is hard to tell the difference in vision between either eye. Another week of drops and I wonder how much better it can get? Happy to recommend.”
