About us
Mac Physiotherapy & Pilates has grown into a dedicated team of professional musculoskeletal specialists focused on treating the individual, not just the injury.
Our aim is to assist & accelerate the recovery of our clients back to their normal function as soon as possible with honest, friendly treatment, underpinned with the most up to date evidence-based practice.
We believe that by taking a little extra time to help you understand your injury, providing hands on treatment as well as rehabilitation and self-management strategies, we will ensure we don’t simply treat your symptoms but help to resolve your injury and prevent future recurrence. We advocate for our clients, referring for investigations and consultant opinions where needed.
The Clinic is owned by Martin & Annika Cunningham, a husband-and-wife team who between them have over 30 years’ experience specialising in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal problems & sports injuries. They have worked extensively in England, Scotland and Australia in a wide variety of settings including NHS, Private Sectors, Clinical Pilates and Professional Sport.
We are passionate about health, movement & getting people better!
Client Stories
Excellent experience. Sophie provided a thorough physio pain management and improvement program for my lower back pain. Both Sophie and the team were professional and were exceptionally helpful regarding flexibility of appointments due to work commitments. Highly recommend.
Lewis Hayward
I chose Mac physio due to recommendation and they were spot on. Sophia was able to identify my strained knee tendon and recommend treatment and exercises to get me back up and running. She provided exercises via the Physio tec app which showed the correct technique. I would recommend them!
Steven Pearson
Over the course of a year with a complex injury I’ve always had the the best advice and amazing support from MAC physio to assist my recovery. Brilliant service from making appointments to the online easy access exercise programme. 5 Stars!!
Louise Reather
I have been seeing Martin since October 21 with a frozen shoulder in lots of pain and with limited movement. He has been amazing and with lots of care, personalised exercise routines, hands on massage and manipulation, I have got most of my movement back and have minimal pain in my shoulder. He is very experienced, patient, and professional and I can't recommend Martin services enough and you will be in very safe, skilled hands. Thanks again Martin!
Kalpna Patel
Amazing service, I had been to so many people who couldn’t sort out my issue. The knowledge and experience the physiotherapists have is outstanding and you really can’t put a price on being able to resume to your normal life without pain. Recommend for anyone who is going through joint/ muscle pain or stiffness.
Yusuf Khan
Following a wrist fracture, Martin and his team examined me thoroughly and provided an in-depth, personalised workout regimen that aided my recovery. During the sessions Martin took the time to massage and manipulate the effected joint and made sure I was making progress. I believe his expertise shortened my recovery time dramatically and mean I’m now back to 100 percent function.
Jon Serdne
I had always been to a physio who was good, and I was a fan of physio as I played sport all my life and suffered for it!! I now have arthritis in areas (I am 61) but when I went to Annie my views went up into a different league. Her diagnosis was spot on there is a lot you can do with muscles and soft tissue to reduce the effects of arthritis. She found ways of curing pain that I can continue at home. I have never been so aware and understand my body.

Excellent Physiotherapists!
Our teenage daughter has been using Mac Physio & Pilates due to a lower back pain which had been causing her constant pain every day, for at least 2 years. The professionalism and knowledge of the pain issue, coupled with such empathy shown towards our daughter certainly went above and beyond any previous expectations we had.
Jude & Guy Baggott
Had a Sports Massage with Jodie last week. I won’t lie, it hurt, but that’s the whole point of them in my opinion. The relief afterwards was intensely gratifying, and the visible results of tension relief was unbelievable. I thought it was muscle, but no, it was tension. The aches and pains have almost gone. Another session and hopefully I’ll be sorted. Don’t neglect your bodies people, you only get one.
Anna Lawrence
I have seen both Martin & Annie at Mac physio as well as attending Annie's Pilates classes. I can't recommend them enough! After seeing so many different specialists for issues from a childhood injury, they finally found solutions to ease my back/hip/knee problems. They have helped me to keep on top of my injuries with hands on physio and exercises. After on and off treatment for approx. 18 months I still regularly attend Pilates classes.
Samantha Pearson
Very professional set up, even during covid. They have been my go-to and keep fit with on-line classes. Annie manages to always have a slightly different routine in classes but very easy to follow. they are well structured and super support. I started with beginners and are mixed ability now. I have advanced cancer in the spine, neck and hip.
Lenneke Van der Houwen
After getting nowhere with an NHS physio I decided to go and see Martin after being recommended by a friend. Martin gave me different advice to the NHS physio but as I was paying, I decided to listen! I should have done so months ago and my hamstring problem may have been resolved. I also did a 6-week Pilates course with Annie which was excellent and really helped me too.
