  The Online Physical trainers and physiotherapists are amazing professionals. I visited them about an issue with my tight hamstrings and they provided me with a systematic approach to unlocking them and getting me back to sport. I am an exercise professional myself and recommend my clients to visit OP for any of their Physio needs. If you would like a truly client focused and educational experience then please see the team at Online Physical.

  I have Fibromyalgia and I have been a patient of Milos' for almost a year. At first I was skeptical that online physiotherapist could help with my chronic pain, but I'm glad I gave it a try. Under his guidance I have made significant improvements in my strength, endurance and ability to function. I still have pain, but less than before and my quality of life and level of functioning is SO much better. I've also seen improvement in my fatigue. I highly recommend anyone with chronic pain to see Milos.

  The best thing I’ve done post injury, rehab and recovery. Milos is a book of knowledge and helped not only work through current injury management and recovery, but changed my lifestyle and also injury prevention for the future. Can not recommend Online Physical highly enough! Thanks Milos!
