“Block book appointments to avoid disappointment! A professional vocalists best kept secret!! Dan has become a staple to my busy life as a performer. I try to book in as regular as possible if he has a slot available. Dan is amazing, the best in the business. I always leave feeling more relaxed, with clearer tone and ready for performance mode again. I have recommended him to other performers, reluctantly because i want to always make sure I can get an appointment. Thank you Dan!”
Chesqua - Professional Singer
“Dan is without doubt one of the best in his field of work. His knowledge and expertise is second to none. He has helped me not only physically by putting together a specialised plan for my injuries, but also mentally helping me understand by explaining everything throughly and intricately. Dan is warm, friendly and he genuinely cares about each of his clients. My sessions with Dan have not only begun to heal my injuries, but I have built strength, gained knowledge and it’s boosted my confidence. I come out of my sessions with spring in my step!”
Laura Harrison - Professional Music Theatre Performer
“After struggling with my knee for a few months, Dan popped round to make an assessment. He was clear, thoughtful, understood my lifestyle and my desire to get moving. He provided advice, guidance and hands on treatment that helped deal with the swelling and pain. I have recommended him to my son and you only do that when you trust someone to make a difference. Thank you Dan.”
Clare Hayward -Director At Cirus
“I’ve had the pleasure of being treated by Dan on two separate jobs, where he looked after my feet and voice. In only a few sessions I regained total mobility in my feet in a physically intensive show, and more recently have been making use of his vocal massage skills for a vocally demanding role. Dan has an amazing way of finding the crux of the issue and will resolve it with ease, reassurance and expertise. I would recommend Dan to anyone!”
Jed Berry - West End actor
“Dan is an extraordinarily effective physio who has helped me immediately with various joint and muscle problems over the last year and a half. In addition to the treatment he clearly explains the cause of the problems and gives exercises focusing on prevention of reoccurrence and strengthening of the area involved. I feel in great shape thanks to the treatment, core exercises and the inspiration he has given me to get back to running and exercising.”
A. Zuntz - Professional violinist
“An actress friend recommended Dan to me as I needed a vocal massage. I was on tour and my voice was getting tired. I didn’t think I would find someone in Manchester but then my friend told me about Dan. He was amazing. A really nice guy, I immediately felt comfortable and relaxed and he was so good. My voice felt so much better the next day. After that I saw him weekly, not just for my voice but for all the injuries I was sustaining on tour. He fixed my neck, back and calf, and I can’t thank him enough!”
Hayley Tamaddon - Professional actor
“I was referred to Dan by an NHS Speech and Language Therapist for laryngeal physiotherapy. Not only has Dan really helped me with this side of things, but he has also provided manual therapy and exercises for symptoms caused by autoimmune conditions and chronic pain. I am appreciative that Dan has liaised with the other healthcare professionals involved in my care as part of a holistic approach, and they have also appreciated this. He is honest and will tell you if something is likely to help or not and what may be realistic, and reviews your goals with you regularly. I would recommend him to anyone.”
Alexandra Brown - NHS psychologist
“Daniel has a real ability to understand his clients’ needs and implement the most powerful and integrative treatments. Superb in communication and application, he makes a real and lasting difference for successful recovery and physical development. With specific and varying needs, I always come away feeling empowered and reinvigorated. Dan’s the man and I will travel far and wide to get an appointment. Thanks Daniel!”
Rik Makarem - Professional actor
“Dan has helped me a lot with my piano playing related injuries and has gone further than any other physio I’ve had to combat the problem. I return regularly not only to maintain my wellbeing but to have a catch up too. I highly recommend Dan to anyone!”
Mackenzie Paget - Classical pianist
Our Approach
Our Expert Approach to Physiotherapy & Recovery
1. Initial Assessment
We start with a thorough assessment that includes a discussion, movement tests, and palpation techniques. This helps us identify the root cause and contributing factors to the issue, discover any limitations, and learn about your goals.
2. Targeted Rehabilitation
After the assessment, we develop a tailored plan. This may include manual therapy for individuals with pain or movement issues, sports or post-operative rehabilitation for athletes, and specialist services such as dance physiotherapy and laryngeal manual therapy for performers.
3. Measurable Progression
Our physiotherapists track your progress using AxIT strength tests, sports screening, and other tools. We then use this feedback to adjust your programme to better match your current condition and abilities.
4. Return to Movement & Performance
Rehabilitation continues in our gym, where we recommend strength and conditioning exercises to help you return confidently to daily activities, sports, or performing.
