⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly can’t recommend James highly enough. I went to him with a back problem that had been causing me a lot of pain and affecting my day-to-day life, and the difference he made was incredible. My back is now completely healed, and I genuinely put a huge part of that down to his knowledge, treatment and guidance. James is extremely professional, knowledgeable and clearly brilliant at what he does, but what really sets him apart is how much he genuinely cares about the people he treats. He takes the time to listen, explains everything properly and makes you feel completely at ease. Not only did I find a fantastic physio, but over the course of my treatment James also became someone I now consider a good friend, which says a lot about the kind of person he is. If you’re struggling with an injury or ongoing pain and looking for someone you can trust, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend James. Absolutely first class from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Posted on Google
Allan Dobie10 September 2026Really pleased with the outcome with shockwave sessions for what was tennis elbow, as never been to a physio before and wasn't sure what to expect. Was all explained at the first session and got exercises to help during and after the course. Did all the paperwork with my insurer seamlessly which really helped. Was really diligent with mask, gloves and cleaning during the pandemic. Pleased he was recommended! 2026 Update - Another good fix, this time a knee injury, with shockwave therapy and detailed exercises to follow. All excellent!!Posted on Google
Charlotte Fear4 September 2026Couldn't recommend enough! I had been to a few different physios and was not seeing any improvement. But James took the time to diagnose me properly and after a few sessions I had seen great results.Posted on Google
Mark Bray28 August 2026I've been treated by James for various sporting injuries over the last 20 plus years after he was recommended by my doctor who had been treated by James. At least 10 years since referring to James I tore a calf muscle playing football and it transpired there were other complications leading to a swollen foot as well as the lower leg. Initially I used the free 15 minute call and James said if I could see him after his last appointment that evening he would assess me to see if I had also ruptured my achilles tendon - thankfully I hadn't. He added me to the end of his next day appointments to start treatment. James was great at explaining the injuries and the treatment required at each stage until no more treatment was needed. As an aside, a number of years ago I took my mum in her 70's, to James, as she had a shoulder issue which he treated and she regained full movement of her shoulder. Thanks yet again James.Posted on Google

Mr S3 July 2026Came in with a rotator cuff injury that was very painful and was preventing me from working properly.

George Ives19 May 2026Quick diagnosis and effective treatment plan, thank JamesPosted on Google
Sam Jacobs19 May 2026I came to James with significant hip and back pain — a complex case that required input from specialist consultants and eventually hip surgery. James created a recovery plan which aligned with the consultant guidelines, using manual therapy and shockwave therapy that made a real difference to my post-surgery recovery. I felt that James really listened to my concerns and amended plans when required. My hip is now significantly better and I'm back to sport with confidence. Highly recommend James for any physio needs!Posted on Google
Kaz Darvall13 May 2026James is by far the best physio I have used and I’ll continue to use him! Cannot recommend him enough!Posted on Google
John Heady30 April 2026Couldn’t recommend Physioelite enough! I was training for the 2026 London marathon and started developing an issue with my calf. When it didn’t go away, I booked a session and it turned out I had a small tear. James treated it with shockwave and it started to improve quickly. I also developed an issue with my knee, which James also successfully treated in a really short space of time. All in all, it took four weeks to get me back up and running and I was able to complete the marathon - which at one point I thought might not have been a possibility. 10/10 - had a fantastic experience.Posted on Google
Ben Harris31 March 2026I came to James with Costochondritis after several months of trying different approaches with limited success. James listened to me and made a detailed assessment before a short programme of targeted treatment. Not only did I start to feel better very quickly, I got to ride in Italy on a trip that had previously looked very much in the balance! I’m currently symptom free, and if you’re in the same position I would highly recommend giving James a call.Posted on Google
Mukhtar23 March 2026I came to PhysioElite after struggling with back pain following a road traffic collision over three years ago. I had previously seen over six different physiotherapists, but unfortunately saw no improvement. However, working with James has been a completely different experience. After my first session, I noticed a significant improvement. His treatment methods were highly effective, and he always took the time to explain both theoretically and visually what was going on. For the first time, I had an accurate diagnosis and a clear path forward. Over the course of my treatment, I’ve seen a real improvement in both my back pain and my day-to-day life. Thank you, James!Posted on Google
Susan Beavis21 March 2026When I first saw James I was unable to walk properly due to the pain in my foot. James understood my symptoms and advised a course of shockwave therapy. I am still undergoing treatment but the improvement so far has been amazing. I am getting my life back and doing all the things I had stopped due to the pain. Thank you James.Posted on Google
Timothy Bartley19 March 2026I came in with a Rotator cuff shoulder injury following recent change of lifestyle.

Warren Smith5 February 2026James is a very experienced physio, who will give an honest prognosis and use modern treatment techniques with bespoke exercise advice. He has helped me rehab after back surgery and improve chronic arthritic and muscular damage. He has a professional and caring approach and also understands the role of stress in chronic physical conditions. I would recommend him to anyone needing help with acute or chronic muscular or joint pain.Posted on Google
Josie Green5 January 2026Came to visit James as was having constantly shoulder pain, didn’t know what to expect straight away as never been to a Physio before. But I have been blow away by the results. I originally booked 6 sessions but only ended up needing 5 as I was pain free! Would definitely recommend!Posted on Google
Will Pearce3 January 2026My first visit to James at physio elite was in the Autumn of 2024 after a knee injury sustained playing rugby. At the time of my initial visit my knee was too swollen to assess so we spent a few sessions working on getting the swelling down. Once the injury could be assessed James was worried that I had ligament damage, so recommended I see a consultant and get an MRI scan. The scan confirmed I had torn my ACL and meniscus. Due to personal circumstances I could not have the required surgery instantly so I worked with James to manage the injury. This allowed me to return to a lifestyle I was happy with whilst waiting for surgery. Once I was happy with the state of my injury I stopped seeing James until after surgery. I had the surgery on my knee in summer 2025. After a six month rehab plan with James, that included weekly visits at the start (and then less frequent visits as we went on), I am now discharged and am comfortable doing many things with my knee, including weightlifting, cycling and hiking. The support received from James during this entire process has been amazing and I could not have asked for more. I will definitely be using physio elite for any future issues I have.Posted on Google

Michael Reece11 November 2025I have had 4 physio sessions with James after sustaining a grade 2 quad tear.

SubwayStore Stroud10 October 2025Thank you very good servicePosted on Google
Pat Endicott21 August 2025I came to Physioelite in early June following a fall at yoga where I'd fallen straight backwards onto my right hip and back. James diagnosed Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome straight away even though my GP had said it was sciatica. I booked a course of treatment with James which included laser therapy and radial shock wave. Over the course of 3 months (with breaks for sudden illness and a previously booked holiday) my pain has reduced significantly. I am now able to walk upright without a stick and don't need a wheelchair. Throughout the whole process James has provided full explanations of the treatments being carried out and latterly, a programme of exercises I can do at home together with help and advice about increasing my activity with swimming and walking. I accept that full recovery could take a long time and I may need further help in the form of a cortisone injection but James has taken time to fully explain and encourage me, pointing me in the right direction. I would highly recommend James, he is professional, knowledgeable helpful.Posted on Google
alex sharkey12 August 2025I came in with a torn trapezius and wrist problems. James was amazing and is very helpful at explaining issues and solutions. After receiving shockwave therapy I feel much better.Posted on Google
Matthew Wakelin1 August 2025Excellent E2E service all round. Resolved the issue with my rotary cuff within three sessions. I’m now back doing workouts albeit with reduced weights until my strength fully returns. I would certainly recommend James to anyone requiring a skilled, experienced Physio in the Bristol area. In short I’m very happy with the treatment I received.Posted on Google
Becky Rice1 August 2025Very helpful, saw me very quickly. Would recommendPosted on Google
Agish George26 June 2025I approached physio elite to address an acute pain I was having near my shoulder. James and his team have been nothing short of excellent in guiding me through what the issue was, what I could do to prevent it in future and what my treatment options were. My injury was a particularly complicated case with inflammation deep inside my shoulder capsule. James started with the most practical and cost effective treatment progressing all the way to focused shockwave which is what finally did the trick. Throughout the course of the treatment I was kept in the loop on what was going on, what a particular treatment would do for me and whether the condition was getting better. I was also given advise on exercises to mobilize and strengthen my shoulder which also helped a lot in maintaining the progress. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who is looking for some high quality professional treatment to address their physio issues.Posted on Google
Dan Seymour27 May 2025Needed some guidance and support getting back to full health. James was excellent and provided both specific and holistic advise to help me recover swiftly and safely.Posted on Google
Jason Duffield21 May 2025I first worked with James to treat a serious knee injury - at the time I had a lot pain just walking around. James quickly identified the issue where other physios had struggled, created a structured plan involving strength & mobility work combined with treatment, within 6 months I was back to playing sports completely pain free. 5 years on I had no reoccurrence of the injury at all. More recently I used James to treat an injury 2 weeks before a race. James initially provided maintenance/treatment that allowed me to complete the race, there is no way I could have completed the race without James’ work. After this he created a long term plan to address weaknesses/imbalances in my leg and 4 weeks on I am back running and already feeling a lot stronger. I would highly recommend James, he is skilled in treating traumatic injuries as much as identifying more subtle biomechanics issues.Posted on Google
Martin1 May 2025James treated me for a thigh injury. Leg now better, whole process was great and would thoroughly recommend.Posted on Google
Luke Barter24 April 2025James is a class apart with his knowledge, holistic care and the equipment he has on offer to help a variety of conditions.

Gareth Dawkes23 April 2025Fantastic service! I had pulled my glute and back in a deadlift and James had the answers within minutes and could get to treatment. Treatment was thorough, using top notch equipment and I'm feeling great again and back to myself!Posted on Google
Robert Edwards16 April 2025James was straightforward in treating me and he ensured I had realistic, achievable expectations for results. Appointments were easy to arrange around my other commitments.

Also, the recommended exercises helped massively. I would fully recommend him. Thanks James!Posted on Google

Phil3 September 2024I had previously been to see a physio unfortunately with little result - I found James to be really understanding and constantly reassessing issues I had with my ankle and was a significant step above my previous experiences.

Susannah Oates22 July 2024I went to James for help with shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome). James was very welcoming, knowledgeable and professional. At no point did I have any doubt about the treatment I was receiving. My shin splints were treated with focused shockwave therapy. When I first came to James, I was experiencing a lot of pain in my shins when walking and even pressing on them, which was frustrating as I was training for a marathon. Following treatment, there is now no pain when my shins are pressed and I am able to run and start training again! James has also given me exercises to continue doing following treatment. All in all, this was a very pleasant experience and I am very pleased with the results.Posted on Google
Craig Jones3 February 2024I had a fantastic experience at my first physiotherapy appointment! James was incredibly welcoming and professional, making me feel at ease right away.

The personalised treatment plan they designed for me gives me confidence that I'm in good hands. The clinic itself is clean and well-equipped, creating a comfortable environment for rehabilitation. I left feeling optimistic about my issue, and I'm grateful for the positive and supportive atmosphere created by James.Posted on Google

The Booking procedure is easy and there is communication throughout the process.Posted on Google
Samuel Murphy6 July 2023From coming to Physioelite with a shoulder injury, to leaving after my third and final session of shockwave therapy, James has been polite, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. What really made me feel comfortable was how informative James has been throughout the process - having never heard of or had shockwave therapy before! Although you never want to have to return to a physioterapist, as it often means a problem has popped up again, I will be sure to bear James in mind if I ever require rehab again in the future. I would also highly recommend. Thanks again, James.Posted on Google
Felix Wright20 June 2023I went to James with a back problem that I'd put off for a long time and that was beginning to worsen.

Chloe Evans28 April 2023I cannot thank James enough for the service he provided. He was professional, friendly and determined to achieve results. I went to see James for a shoulder issue which I had for 3 years. From the start James explained everything clearly, showing me the anatomy of the shoulder so I could understand what is causing the problem. He is very knowledgeable and uses a range of techniques to resolve the problem. After several sessions of Low-level laser therapy as well as manual therapy my shoulder issue has significantly improved and my range of mobility has returned to normal. Overall James is an excellent physiotherapist and I would highly recommend to anyone.Posted on Google

Ben H12 October 2022James provided me with 11 weeks of diligent, knowledgeable and fundamentally worthwhile physio treatment following a hip operation. On top of this James assisted with hydro therapy which was an important development in my recovery. His explanation of my circumstance was described in a fashion that made a complicated situation much more coherent for me. Following treatment with James, I feel much stronger in my hip and body more generally, and have a greater understanding of hip anatomy and what I need to do to continue recovering well. I also appreciate the straightforward nature of booking appointments thanks to his office. Overall, I would recommend James to anyone in need of post surgical rehabilitation or merely minor muscle strains and the like. Thank you James for all the help.Posted on Google

Matt P28 July 2021James is simply fantastic. Severe trauma injury to my nine-year-old son and James had him back on his feet after the first session. Throughout the treatment James' interaction with my son was both positive and age appropriate. James managed my son's confidence in the treatment to the extent whereby my son was pushing himself during the sessions beyond what I could of expected of him. Projected 10-12 week lay off brought down to six weeks, with my son returning to school after only three. THANK YOU James. Thoroughly recommended.Posted on Google
Kerrie Baxter5 July 2021I tore the muscles in my groin and nearly a year later was still suffering with pain after seeing other physios.

I will be recommending James to friends.Posted on Google
Lauren Gleed22 June 2021I went to Physio Elite with what I believed to be Achilles Tendonitis and needed physio therapy immediately. A friend from dance recommended James, so without hesitation I booked a 15 min call after which I was seen a week later. I was diagnosed with a different injury on the same day which brought great peace of mind. Easy, completable physio exercises to do at home between sessions. It was interesting to see the break down of the body layer by layer on the screen so I knew exactly which ligaments were sore and needed healing. If you ever need a physiotherapist asap go to physio elite!Posted on Google

Chris Nowosielski11 December 2020James at PhysioElite has been helping me with quite a severe lower back issue for a number of years. James is extremely knowledgeable and experienced providing not only innovative exercise plans with advice but also a hands on approach. Other physiotherapists do not seem to provide such a versatile approach. The physio provided by James makes a huge difference that allows me to get on with day to day life without pain!Posted on Google
Henry Lawes9 December 2020I'd highly recommend Physio Elite. James has worked with me on two different issues. He's takes the time to properly investigate and diagnose the problem with clear communication and explanation. The treatments are similarly explained and discussed and he has produced excellent results for me. Again i couldn't recommend him more highly.Posted on Google
Eva B (Txteva)6 December 2020I have been attending Physioelite for regular sessions with James for over a year due to a long term injury which I had been unable to treat successfully via the NHS. James has always been very reassuring and listened to what I want to achieve from sessions - initially pain relief, then strengthening. The biggest advantage with visiting Physioelite is the range of treatments - various different massage tools, Interferential Therapy (like TENS - a pain relief tool which has drastically helped), personalised exercises including pool based (pre-Covid) and virtual appointments. Having regular sessions has also improved other areas like stiff necks from bad desk position or stopping other aches becoming longer term issues. I have happily recommended him to friends (who have also continued to attend). He is well priced - especially with block bookings and never pushy to increase sessions. As a member of Simply Health I've been able to claim back the treatment costs. The appointments times are flexible so I can attend outside of work and there is limited parking outside.Posted on Google
Bradley Morgan3 December 2020I have been a client of James for many years from my earlier days of playing football to the current day. i am still reasonably active therefore need physiotherapy treatments occasionally. My wife and now grown up children have also previously had successful physio. James has vast experience and has always taken an interest in his patients needs. We would highly recommend JamesPosted on Google
Rowan Brunswick1 December 2020James at PhysioElite worked on my chronic shoulder tension, and through his care and expertise I am now free from discomfort and able to fully enjoy the activities I love. James really knows his stuff and his professionalism meant that I felt in safe hands throughout. Highly recommended.Posted on Google
Devi Z28 November 2020I have been going to Physioelite for around 15 years, initially with shoulder/neck pain after coming off my bike and breaking three ribs. James identified a structural issue with my shoulder and insisted I was referred to a consultant before going any further with the treatment. Subsequent investigation by the NHS identified a significant congenital defect in my shoulders, and a surgeon impressed with James' knowledge and insistence that I seek investigation rather than just treat the symptoms. Over the years his targeted approach of short intensive physio blocks, with exercise plans in between, has been the key to successful management of my condition. The added benefit to me has been the maintenance of my quality of life that has allowed the surgeon to significantly postpone the inevitable shoulder replacement surgery. As others have attested, James will not seek to treat you for the sake of it - he is focussed on the best outcome for you. I have 15 years experience of James telling me that a block of 4 or 6 is enough to get me back to my steady state for another 6-12 months. DerrickPosted on Google
Joe Mead26 November 2020I went to James for multiple injury's including my back and shoulders all of which he has helped tremendously and I am blown away by how good he was. The information he provided me was above and beyond anything I was asking for or have found else where previously and has helped so much in my understanding of my future training. If I ever injure myself again he is the first person Ill be going to! Thoroughly recommend!Posted on Google
Mark Kinlocke20 November 2020Very knowledgeable, professional and sympathetic approach to diagnosis and subsequent treatment. I had what seemed like extreme 'tennis elbow' with pain running up to my shoulder which made daily routines and sleep very difficult. After a very thorough examination on my first visit, James identified that the source of the problem was most likely in my neck. That first treatment resulted in reduction of of the pain. And over 3 follow up visits, that pain is greatly subsided. Next is get into the routine of doing the recommended exercises for preventing a recurrence:-)Posted on Google
Jack Martindale5 November 2020I went to James after suffering a groin injury playing hockey. He was extremely knowledgeable and gave very detailed insight into my injury answering all the questions I had. Over multiple sessions James worked on the injury along side prescribing relevant exercises. I was able to observe a fast improvement over a short space of time. When it came to returning to hockey specific activity James gave me the guidance I needed to return confidently without worrying about reinjury. Overall I would highly recommend Physioelite to others as I had an efficient and friendly experience which I would 100% use again.Posted on Google
Alison Heale8 October 2020I came to Physioelite when I has been struggling to walk for a couple of days after my back had gone into spasm from picking up our puppy. James was really good, he would only do treatments to a level where I was comfortable, while explaining both verbally and visually exactly what he initially thought was wrong with my back, and then going further through treatment, exactly what was wrong. I was given a series of exercises to undertake, and through a mixture of doing those and the regular treatments from James my back is now 100% better. I cannot thank James enough for working miracles on my back, and would recommend him to anyone.Posted on Google
Jason Dickson10 September 2020I went to James after running an Ultra Marathon and picking up what I thought was a knee injury back in February. James successfully diagnosed a deep tissue hamstring injury and the problem was resolved after 3 sessions with him. I was very pleased to be back running in no time at all.Posted on Google
Brian Bingham7 July 2020I went to consult with James Tomkies of Physioelite Ltd., as I had suffered a heavy knock to my head and neck whilst at work some months previously. May I say that previously I had visited a local Chiropractor on two occasions for the same issue. It soon became clear that the Chiropractor wanted me to book a 'standard package of 12 sessions' as a minimum and, at a cost just shy of £400, after which he would review my progress! I may need more, he commented! It was clear that I was a person shoe-horned into a 'standard package'. James on the other hand, diagnosed my injury with ease, absolute care and professionalism. He then clearly communicated what the issues were and, most importantly asked what I wanted the end result to be, for me. It was clear that he was not on a money-making exercise. He suggested that I would need probably three treatments and we booked at times convenient to me. He also suggested that I use a physio app and, uploaded to that app, the correct set of 6 exercise movements for my injuries, at no charge. After those three treatments, yes I most certainly felt and continue to feel much better, my neck pain vastly reduced and with a far better range of movement. At the end of the second session, he suggested that I didn't need any more treatments and made me aware that I had a 15 minute consultation available within his treatment which was at no extra charge - should I have need, or have any further questions. Before I left the practice, he suggested I carry out a simple set of exercises which would continue to help me in the future. To summarise, I am very happy with the treatments, the way I was assessed, the successful outcome and, for considerably less financial outlay than the Chiropractor wanted to charge. I wholeheartedly recommend James to anyone wishing injuries to 'go away'. No fuss, no pain, no pressure and a pleasant environmentPosted on Google
Rhys Lankester6 March 2020I went to see James following a sports mishap, at which stage I couldn't bend or sit without extreme discomfort. Within 2 weeks I was considerably improved and after another 6 weeks I am back to 95% with the final 5% in my hands following an exercise programme devised by James. It has been well worth getting professional treatment!Posted on Google
Marcus Forsey9 January 2020I found James' physio treatment to be highly effective. He was extremely helpful throughout and taught me which exercises would be useful in preventing the issue from coming back again. Highly recommend him.Posted on Google
Jonny15 December 2019James is fabulous. My mother (who is in her 70s) fell and broke her arm/wrist and was unable to use her hand before meeting James. He was very helpful, explained everything to her, and gave her exercises to do at home as well as doing hands on therapy during her appointments. He was very understanding, encouraging, and the appointments were with good humour. My mother's arm and hand function improved greatly and she is thrilled with the results. We highly recommend Physio Elite to everyone!Posted on Google

Mike Akers6 August 2018James provided an excellent service as he helped me recover from damaged knee ligaments and after 3 months of sessions and following a tailored exercise programme I am now back not he pitch. Thanks James!Posted on Google
Sarah Brennan13 December 2017I found James through a mutual client and have found him to be extremely professional.. he certainly knows his stuff! I am seen in a relaxing environment and am very comfortable with him. I booked a block of 8 sessions and within 6 my neck and shoulder issues (caused through my job) had eased considerably. I’ve since used my last 2 sessions as I did not keep up with the simple exercises James told me to do. Note to self... do what your physio tells you and the pain won’t come back! I highly recommend James as he looks to fix the problem as soon as possible and gives you an estimate of how long it will take.Posted on Google
Ben Mason25 September 2017In the last 2 years I have had 2 shoulder operations. James has been there every step of the way to help me recover and build a more solid shoulder. James is a great physio and an great person too. I'd recommend James to anyone.Posted on Google
glyn rushent glyn rushent25 January 2017I first visited James when i had a bad back and for several years he kept me on my feet and at work. But unfortunately I then had to have spinal surgery and after 6 weeks in bed I relied on James to get me mobile. I found that James was very professional and his knowledge of the human skeleton and mussel are second to none. I would like to say thank you James for giving me a better quality of life I have no hesitation in referring James to all my friends and colleagues Glyn RushentLoad more
