My wife had suffered from a stroke almost four years ago, and subsequently a couple of falls, one of which fractured her pelvis, and one which broke her femur. Her mobility was such that she would walk about the house using a zimmer and could walk for short distances outside using a 'rollator'. Her walking had not improved in well over a year and we decided some professional help could benefit her and so we contacted Specialist Home Physiotherapy. after a few months, with Nasir's patience and skill, my wife now can walk inside and outside using a walking stick, and has started walking short distances in the house using no aids at all. This is nothing short of a miracle. Her strength, balance, and confidence have all improved greatly, and her outlook is much more positive thanks to Nasir and his calm, methodical, professional approach. I would not hesitate to recommend Specialist Home Physiotherapy and I cannot rate them highly enough.Posted onGoogle — read Jim Savage's review on Specialist Home Physiotherapy

Everything you'd want to ask before booking.
Straight answers on areas, timings, payment and what actually happens on a home visit.
Which areas do you cover?
The whole of Glasgow's West End — Hillhead, Dowanhill, Hyndland, Partick, Partickhill, Kelvinside, Kelvindale, Broomhill, Kelvingrove, Woodlands, Woodside, North Kelvinside, Kelvinbridge, and around the University of Glasgow / Gilmorehill (postcodes G11, G12, G3, G4 and G20). If you live just outside the West End, call and ask — we will tell you honestly whether we can visit.
How quickly can I be seen?
Urgent appointments are available within 48 hours. Most new clients are seen within the same week — call or WhatsApp 07393 312 774 and your enquiry goes straight to Nasir, not a call centre.
What are your visiting hours?
Monday to Friday 4:00pm – 8:00pm, and Saturday & Sunday 9:00am – 5:00pm. Evening and weekend visits make it easy to fit physiotherapy around work and family.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can refer yourself (or a family member) directly — no GP or consultant letter is needed. If you do have hospital discharge notes or a surgeon's protocol, have them ready for the first visit.
How long is an appointment?
Your home physiotherapy appointment lasts 45 to 60 minutes. That includes assessment, hands-on treatment, exercise coaching and a written take-home plan.
What happens at the first appointment?
A brief phone/video triage first; then a home visit covering your history, medications, physical assessment, hands-on treatment where appropriate, and a tailored exercise programme. You'll finish the visit with a clear plan.
Is your physiotherapist registered?
Yes. Nasir Shaikh is registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC registration PH79584) — the legal register every UK physiotherapist must be on — and is a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (MCSP), the professional body for physiotherapists. You can check his registration on the HCPC website at hcpc-uk.org. He has 14+ years of NHS hospital and domiciliary experience.
What conditions do you treat?
Stroke; hip and knee replacements; fractures; falls; back and neck pain; sciatica; shoulder and knee pain; post-op orthopaedic rehab; general deconditioning; Parkinson's; MS; respiratory conditions including COPD; sports injuries; and musculoskeletal pain of all kinds.
