Altius Healthcare - Hale Clinic - Altrincham

The guys at Altius have been absolutely fantastic. Genuinely cannot speak highly enough of them. I'm recovering from shoulder surgery and hit a wall. I was told there wasn't much more that could be done. I still didn't have anywhere near full fange of motion and very little strength in certain positions.

I saw Stu and Doug at Altius. Within 10 minutes they had diagnosed what the issues were. I've since had a few sessions and the improvement has been incredible. Before seeing them I was really down at the thought of being stuck like I was and not being able to do the things I loved. I couldn't swing a golf club, or swim or even a lot of things around the house, and was really restricted in my movements. The difference since then is night and day. There's still a little ways to go but I feel really good that under them I will get there and without then I'd have been completely lost.

The actual treatment they give is top class but the way they treat and care for you as a person is even better. Cannot say enough good things about them and what they have done for me. Would recommend them to anyone reading this. You'll be better off walking out then when you walked in.

I was put in touch with Altius due to a last resort and I wished it would have been my first point of call.

I have had a nerve issues going on for a long while in both of my arms. It got so bad at one point I couldn’t even hold a pen or bend my fingers. I ended up having to pause everything i enjoyed doing, weight lifting, climbing, pole fitness due to the fact i couldn’t grip anything. Was also affecting my sleep as I’d wake up during the night with bad tingles and numbness.
At the worst point I ended up contacting my doctors which in turn got me an emergency physio appt with the nhs. I was seen for less than 15 mins and then was being referred. The wait time to be seen was 6-8 weeks.

At this point I had no relief and couldn’t wait that long to be seen, so ended up finding a private physio nearby with availability to see me asap. After being “diagnosed” I was given exercises to do and was working with my PT’s at the gym to help move things along quickly.

After around 6 weeks of no improvement and pretty much feeling defeated to the fact I can no longer do what i enjoy and it hasn’t got any better, I was ready to give up. At this point this has been going on for 3-4 months.

My PT’s convinced me to see Doug and as a last ditch attempt in my mind, I was like sure, can’t see it helping but it can’t get any worse than it is.

Doug has literally worked magic.
After my first session with him I left the building crying due to the fact I’ve not had relief in my arms and wrists for what feels like forever and also the glimmer of hope that this can be fixed and the possibility of getting back to normality and doing the things I enjoy.

At my first session, Doug listened to what I was saying and first thing he asked was if my wrists and forearms had ever been treated. Answer was no, they have never been looked at. Turns out after years and years of build up of scar tissue in both of my wrists and forearms, this was contributing to the nerve problem. The first session I won’t lie and say it was comfortable, it was painful but 1000% worth it.
I’ve now had my 3rd session with Doug, got my 4th booked in and I’m seeing improvement every time.

The place itself is super nice and the customer care team are lovely and super helpful.

I constantly rave and recommend this place now and I will never go anywhere else.

Attached pic is 3 days after my first session from breaking up the scar tissue.

Outstanding care from Alex, the physiotherapist. Alex is one of those rare individuals who is clearly at the top of their game but combines this with excellent consultation skills. An absolute bargain given the superb level of service demonstrated

After cartilage surgery on my ankle I didn’t seem to be making the process I had expected to with the physio at the hospital. My consultant recommended Doug as someone to contact as he may be able to help.

Doug gave me a completely different treatment regime to what I had experienced previously (some of it was painful at times, such as having a metal bar dragged over my calves). The result have been exceptional and he had me walking far better than when I had started visiting and with less pain.

I would certainly recommend Doig and the team at Altius. If I am in need of any physiotherapy in the future Altius would be my first port of call

Just had a massage with Rebecca at the Sale Brooklands clinic. Just fantastic from booking the appointment to the service I was given. Rebecca is very knowledgeable and the treatment she gave was excellent. I have booked again, great place thank you

Following a bad Bicycle accident and "Knee" Injury 6 weeks ago, I was introduced and recommended to speak to " Doug " & his team at the practice in Hale by a current client and friend, but with travel and personal interaction restrictions during this Pandemic, Doug kindly offered me a video call consultation slot this week, having just finished that 1 hours call and treatment, I feel happier both mentally and physically and ready to follow his advice, using only the crockery implements I found in the kitchen, that I used succesfully during the call. He is polite, friendly and extremely proffesional and I highly recommend his experience and services.

Having seen a few hospital and community specialists, I had the best assessment yet for troublesome foot pain at Altius. Doug took a careful history and thorough examination and was able to pinpoint the likely cause of my symptoms. He then gave some therapeutic treatment and acupuncture which gave some immediate improvement to my hip mobility. I’ve got a long way to go, but am confident that the exercises Doug has given me will help improve my symptoms and get me back to sport with confidence.
