I started working with Nikos after damging the nerves in my legs. He has been incredibly flexible with his availability to make time to visit multiple times - the fact he does home visits make things much more convenient. He tailors the exercises to my specific needs and within 3 weeks I have progressed from barely being able to stand unassisted, to walking with more strength, and, importantly, confidence.Whilst the exercises are hard, the outcome makes it all worthwhile.

Nikos came into my parents lives around a month ago. Mum had major heart surgery during which she suffered a stroke and dad has Parkinson’s which is rapidly getting worse. Nikos comes to their home to treat them. He is making such a difference to them both mentally and physically, they look forward to his visits and practice the exercises between visits. Nikos is trustworthy, incredibly kind, practical and so encouraging. I cannot believe the difference he is making to them both. They both have the confidence to push themselves that little bit more and I have no doubt Nikos is giving them longevity and quality back in their lives. A total delight and I’m so glad we found him. Throughly recommend him to anyone that needs help.

My Dad suffered a stroke and it affected his right side in July 2023, He was out of hospital in August, had NHS physio for the 6 week period, then was left with none, he has been struggling since and I hated seeing my Dad like this , then I was told about Nickolas from a friend, its the best thing I did contacting him, he has gave my Dad about 6 sessions so far and what a difference I am seeing in my Dad both mentally and physically and doing daily tasks he could not do, my dads voice also seems to be improving, I would highly recommend Nikolas for anyone who has a friend or relative requiring physio. He also has a very good sense of humour and he's very professional with his work.

My Dad has been receiving treatment from Nikos for around 7 months now and there is a huge difference in Dad’s mental and physical health over this time.18 months ago, Dad, who was 80 then, was fit, active and loving retirement at their home in Spain, but then had a catastrophic stroke.He was totally paralysed on the left side of his body and we did not think he would survive the effects of the stroke as he could not swallow anything, even liquids.After 5 months of the Spanish care system and after a huge mission involving our whole family, we bought my parents back to the UK and Dad continued in the NHS system for his physio. After only a few months Physios here said they could not do anything for him as the paralysis was permanent and withdrew the minimal physiotherapy he had been having.We found Nikos via a conversation with our GP and Dad has improved hugely under Nikos’ care. Dad’s mental agility is returning and he can now instigate a conversation and chat with us again. Nikos challenges Dad mentally during his visits, chatting about subjects that push Dad’s mind and memory, while also working on him to push his many physical limitations, which is improving his core strength and overall well being. Nikos is keeping the areas mostly affected by the stroke supple and mobile which not only helps Dad’s circulation, it is starting to strengthen his core area, which we thought would not recover at all. This will help Dad to keep his balance while sitting and also protect him from further chest infections, as he should now be strong enough to cough more effectively.Niko’s works in such a way that Dad gets huge enjoyment from his visits, while also working incredibly hard. I cannot thank Nikos enough for all the knowledge he brings, and which is bringing Dad back to us a little more each week.

Simon LincolnNikos was head of physio in my father's rehabilitation facility, out of desperation the family contacted him. Nikos spoke in detail with the Patient, family, care home, commissioners & GP, reviewing all the care notes.My father has not returned to the hospital since the start of the provision, is out of bed daily, assisted correctly by care staff, goes on trips, attends family meals, and sees his grandchildren regularly.In my view, Niko’s expertise/ genius is matched only by his compassion and kindness.There is a deep part of me that can not repay what he has done for our family and I will be eternally grateful for meeting him. I truly hope he can change your life like he has ours.

My 84 yr old husband had a stroke in 2021 which left him with left sided paralysis. After rehabilitation there was very little improvement in his arm but he was able to walk unassisted with a quad stick and managed to use the toilet and to get in and out of bed with a little support.During the past two years his condition deteriorated until by Oct 2023 I was finding it extremely difficult to manage his care.I was unable to get sufficient NHS physio support so I contacted Nikos for his help.We were very impressed with his knowledge, passion and professionalism. Over the last six months we have been extremely grateful for his support and the great improvement in my husband’s mobility, balance, motivation and general health.Nikos is always welcome in our home, he is polite , cheerful, caring, friendly and his enthusiasm and encouragement has given my husband belief that he can and will improve.We now consider Nikos to be a friend and would highly recommend his support to anyone needing help .
