Abloc Physiotherapy

10/10! I’ve been going to À Bloc for maintenance work every couple of weeks for the last 4 months and couldn’t recommend them more highly. I’ve had sports massage therapy, acupuncture, muscle testing & plyometric sessions with Nathan. He’s extremely knowledgeable & has shared invaluable tips and tricks which I now carry with me into all my training sessions.

Having struggled for large parts of career with lower back and neck pain, it was a game changer when Nikki joined the club. He got me back to feeling my best and training regularly pain free and with a plan to keep me healthy and fit. Apart from his top level physiotherapy skills, he is a great man with a huge level of emotional intelligence when working with atheltes who are trying to recover to their best! Would highly recommend him for anyone looking to restore themselves to their physical and mental best!

Nikki Mac is brilliant and we would not hesitate to recommend À Bloc Physiotheraphy for anyone needing physiotherapy help or support.

The level of professionalism, knowledge and empathy is outstanding. We are 100% confident the recovery speed and associated strength / conditioning progress made by our player community over recent years, is absolutely linked to Nikki's focus and dedication. Thank you, Nikki.

Nikki treated me with a netball ankle ligament injury, he helped me with exercises to get the ankle strong again and offered all the correct advice so I was back match fit as soon as I possibly could. I would choose a visit to Nikki every time before I took a trip to A and E as he always gives the best advice. Both myself and my netball ladies are lucky to have him around to advise us and assist with any Injuries. I certainly have him on speed dial with our over 35s netball team. He's amazing and well worth a visit to help with anything 😊

Nathan has been invaluable In helping diagnose and treat a hip injury after my ironman. He has a wealth of knowledge with regards to physio for cyclists and triathletes and it shows. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend him to any other athletes, in fact I do all the time!

Nathan is a very personable sports physio, he quickly identified the issues I had as suffering with, and quickly initiated interventions to support my return to sporting health. Clearly very knowledgeable and has a wide range of techniques at his disposal.

10/10 would recommend to anyone suffering with a sport-related injury.

After a heavy season of 7s rugby playing for samurai invitational 7s l. I suffered an injury to my foot which I went to see Nikki for at àbloc Physiotherapy. He was able to make a swift and accurate diagnosis and offer a treatment plan to facilitate my recovery.

He was thorough and informative. He even took time to explain how the injury happened and how to manage it in the interim.

Since seeing Nikki my injury has massively improved and with his help I have no doubt I'll be back on that rugby field soon.

I worked with Nikki whilst I was head coach at Merthyr RFC

From the moment he started he brought an excellent degree of professionalism and calmness

When Nikki came on board we had an injury crisis. Nikk was able to prioritise the boys.liaise with the consultants and provide rehabilitation programs to all injured players. Returning them to play without fail. His attitude and knowledge brought a level of professionalism we hadn't had before. Thank you Nikki and hope you keep working your magic at àbloc Physiotherapy and Merthyr RFC

After undergoing a femoral osteotomy with my surgeon 😷. He referred me to Nikki at àbloc Physiotherapy, which I was glad for as I had used him before and he was my physio at college.

From the off he was brilliant he was in contact with the consultant and knew exactly what to do and even had taken the time to print and review my protocol after surgery.

He provided me with excellent information and advice regarding my ongoing treatment and set me some goals to achieve in the early days. This gave me a focus and took my mind off the lengthy rehabilitation process.

I would definitely recommend my friends and family to Nikki and the guys at àbloc physiotherapy. They have been great thanks Guys for the fresh and innovative approach

I have had many session with Ben Jones and he has fixed my injuries on many occasions. He is very kind and approachable. He is always available when I needed help and thorough with his work. I have used many physios before but Ben is one of a kind, if you haven't booked in with him then you should do it ASAP!

I can't believe there's many better physios in Wales than Nathan. He is always very quick to analyse issues and provides excellent care to support rehabilitation. He's a top lad too. Would 100% recommend and can't ever imagine going anywhere else

An exceptional service with a professional approach to managing my condition. Having also worked alongside Nicky in a professional capacity I have witnessed first hand the excellent results he achieves in managing complex sports injuries. Would definitely use this company again

I cannot thank Nikki enough, without his help I wouldn't have achieved many of my sporting goals. I've had the need to use Nikki' skills many times over the past 20 years. From football injuries to upper body mishaps and more recently muscle over use damage from triathlons. He wass always correct in his diagnosis and spot on with his recovery time. Hopefully I'll never need a physio again but if I do, I'll head to straight to Nikki

Nathan is an expert Physiotherapist. I live in South Wales, so getting access to him is easy, however, it is worth travelling a long way to get treated by him.
It's not *just* his hands-on treatment, it's his all-round approach to understanding lifestyle and targets. My only regret is not getting in touch with him sooner for my treatment.

Hello

I have used Nikky for over 15 years whenever I have had an injury. With help from Nikky I was able to enjoy years of playing Welsh Premier football.

The most notable time was when I thought it was a good idea to come out of retirement for a match but ended up snapping my achillies. I contacted Nikky on the way to the hospital and he advised me on how best to to treat it.

Nicky knows his stuff and the support he was able to access for me during my rehab was first class. Firstly, I had a scan on the injury at the facilities of Cardiff Met. The scan was conclusive of a clean break. Following this I was operated on the following week to fuse the achillies back together. Then it was a few months in the dreaded boot!

Then the hardwork of rehab began - and it was hardwork. Nicky gave me a strict gym programme to follow with mobilisation and strengthening.

Then the physio sessions began which were brutal. Being the worst and most impatient person ever i asked him when will I be running again - 8-10 weeks he said! I laughed at him at this point as it was a struggle in the boot.

We met once a week, which was also a massive help for my mental health during injury, even if it did cost me a fortune in food for him 😀

Within weeks Nicky took me to use a anti-gravity treadmill, where i was able to run in a reduced body weight environment. I honestly couldn't believe that i was able to do it. The cardio work out just felt amazing!

8 Weeks later Nicky suggested we did ladder work! I was very apprehensive about this, but low and behold i was tip toeing like I was in the River dance! (Not quite but hey ho).

He had me running within 10 weeks!!!

I can honestly say Nicky was the reason I was able to get back to my football commitments so quickly.

I have put a number of people in touch with Nicky since then and touch wood I haven't needed to see him since 😀

Never seen a better physio, knowledgable, professional, quick to diagnose, excellent referral rates.
He goes above and beyond for his patients.
Great communication skills - explains the where and why and interacts with a patient - this gives the patient ownership of continued compliance and therefore a great success rate in his his treatment plans
Highly recommended.

Brilliant treatment from Nikki after sustaining an ankle injury weeks before a half marathon. Managed to get me to the start line and I even finished! Couldn’t have done it without him. Highly recommend.

Easy to book system, very accommodating and fantastic service from both Nathan and Nikki. Felt they really understood my problem, gave assorted treatment together with post session advice on recovery and injury prevention.

I’ve worked with Nikki for many years now through 4 ACL reconstructions and is the reason my rugby career lasted as long as it did! No doubt I would have had to retire sooner than I did! Can’t recommend his services enough!

Nathan is always incredibly helpful and patient even when I keep coming back to him with the same issues. His treatments are effective and he offers a wide range from acupuncture to chiro as well as massage and physiotherapy. Would thoroughly recommend
