"I have worked for the NHS for over 40 years and during that time have witnessed the work of many physiotherapists and thought I had seen the best there could be, that was until Phil Cabral was assigned to our surgery as ‘resident physio’.

Phil's attitude to his work is inspiring. His subject knowledge is exceptional and his professionalism is second to none. Patient feedback is, without exception, positive.

Phil has a truly holistic approach to his treatment, he treats the person with a condition, not a condition that a person just happens to have."

"After years of chronic back pain in my teens and early twenties and from many failed appointments with other specialists I went to see Phil. What I got was not what I expected.

My one-hour appointment lasted just under two hours, with no extra charge, and I received nothing short of a perfect consultation. Phil examined me, told me what was wrong and how to fix it. When Phil listens to you he gives his total concentration and his infinite ability is at your total disposal.

He doesn’t patronise you or talk down to you, he reassures you with his kindness and compassion and from the endless passion he has for his job he radiates confidence which is, I warn you, highly infectious. He has not just solved my back complaint, a task many could not, but given me back my old self. He is the ultimate professional and a very dear man. For Phil Cabral nothing is impossible."

W Brownhill, Chester

"During my first consultation with Phil I grew in confidence that my back problems could be resolved. Phil was receptive, knowledgeable, friendly and confident we could resolve the problems I was experiencing.

Phil analysed the information I gave him, conducted physical examinations, and over the course of the following sessions, identified possible causes. Phil got me working, stretching and thinking about how my back operates. In just over 3 months, Phil's treatment has been a remarkable success.

I am running again and my fitness levels have returned to levels prior to my problems. Phil is now even helping me reach the next level in terms of fitness. Phil's knowledge and technical know-how have had a huge impact on my life. His approach is second to none. Hugely professional but friendly with it. Thanks for all your help, Phil. See you at the finishing line!"

“I first saw Phil after being involved in a car accident as the after effects were limiting my performance in the gym and on the rugby pitch. Where I had been told by another physio to stop doing the activities and exercises that caused me pain, Phil worked with me to correct my dysfunctions as a result of the accident and actually got me in much better condition than I had been prior to the accident.

When I got hit by a car while out on my bike, I booked in to see Phil again. Despite a whole load of pain and dysfunctions, Phil had me moving so much better that I went on to run trail marathons and trail ultra-marathons.

After years of long-distance running and picking up a new hobby, Brazilian Jujitsu, I got to the stage where I couldn’t bend to put my socks on or even sleep a whole night without waking up in severe pain.

From session 1, I was given exercises that would relieve the pain in my back and hips. This also made it possible to start working on weaknesses and dysfunctions in other areas of my body. I’m far more mobile and stronger for my sport.

I can’t thank you enough.”
