How we help
What to expect
Your first physiotherapy appointment lasts 45 minutes and is delivered one-to-one with a Chartered Physiotherapist. You can expect:
- Full assessment and movement analysis
- Hands-on treatment every session
- Clear explanation of what’s going on
- A structured plan for what happens next
- One or two specific exercises where appropriate

You’ll leave knowing where you stand and how we’ll move forward together. If you’re unsure whether physiotherapy will help, you can speak directly to a physio first with a free 15-minute video call.

What Our Clients Say
Aaron was excellent, quickly understanding my situation and coming up with a structured plan to help me rehabilitate after a bad back injury. He explained the recovery path clearly and progress has been steady and positive.
Aaron has been fantastic. He always helps with my issues and gives me the information and treatment needed to return to full fitness.
Daniel was very knowledgeable and professional in supporting me with a painful neck injury. I saw improvement really quickly and got loads of helpful advice and exercises to support long-term prevention.
I was at my wits end after visiting several doctors and physios with no relief, and when I met Aaron he gave me exactly what I needed. He listened intently and was professional and compassionate.
I had an excellent experience with Daniel. He assessed my situation carefully, created a treatment plan that suited my needs, and the results have been outstanding — I’m now pain-free.
I’ve had a few sessions with Harry and couldn’t be more pleased with the care and professionalism he provides. He tailored the treatment to suit my needs and lifestyle, and I’ve noticed real improvement.
Daniel helped me with a very stubborn hamstring injury that had refused to heal for over three months, and within a few sessions he’d got me fixed. His strength training advice was spot on.
Andy listened to the problem and got to work quickly diagnosing and fixing it. After my first session, the Achilles injury I’d been struggling with for over nine months was much better, and three sessions later I was back running pain-free.

Jack Gilmartin
Physiotherapist
BSc (Hons), MCSP
Alwoodley, York
My name is Jack Gilmartin, and I’m an MSK physiotherapist at Regen Physio. I work with a broad mix of clients, from competitive athletes and regular gym-goers, to people who simply want to move more comfortably and enjoy an active lifestyle.
Coming from a background in semi-professional rugby and strength & conditioning, I know first-hand the challenges of training, performing, and managing setbacks. That experience shapes the way I work: combining hands-on treatment with practical, tailored rehab plans that are easy to follow and designed to deliver real progress.
I place a big emphasis on education and clarity, making sure clients understand their condition and feel confident in how to manage it. Rehab should feel purposeful and motivating, not a boring checklist – and I always aim to keep it engaging while focused on each person’s goals.
Outside of the clinic, I spend most of my time on the rugby pitch or in the gym, and I enjoy testing myself both physically and mentally. The same drive that fuels my sport carries into my work, where my priority is helping people return to the activities that matter most to them.
What clients say
- Fantastic sports massage and soft-tissue work
- Very knowledgeable and professional
- Removes pain and stiffness quickly
- Friendly and confidence-boosting
Reputation: superb manual therapist with excellent communication skills.
"Jack was fantastic, found straight away where I needed fixing, and also gave good advice."
