I’ve had Plantar Fasciitis for months and had tried everything, inc. insoles, exercise for calves, targeted stretching, etc. nothing worked. Fortunately my wife found Steve Hackner online and he kindly offered advice on a treatment plan. Steve’s work has been amazing for me. The pain which I felt everyday for months, every time I stood up, walked, etc is now gone. Highly recommended and appreciated for the friendly advice and service. He’s a top fella as well and I looked forward to our weekly catch ups!

Over the summer I suffered with a flare up of plantar fasciitis that despite trying every treatment going, nothing touched it. Steve was very patient, and I’m happy to say shockwave therapy has been extremely effective. Thank you.

Before I came to Midlands shocwave& Physiotherapy I couldn't make one step without suffer and deep pain on my left foot. I am not sure why I was waiting so long to get my treatment? I think I just had a hope that it will gone by itself? In this case, I unnecessarily had suffer for about 6 months.
I found this place online with good reviews. However, I also have heard of this place before.
I took 10 treatments (8th visit was free of charges), and I must say that my pain is gone in 85%. I hope it will stay like this for some time, because I feel big relief.
Thank you Steve Hakner for your support!
I appreciate it.

Absolutely fantastic. Had plantar fasciopathy for months with little relief from stretches and strengthening. I've had more relief and recovery in 4 weekly sessions than 9 months of traditional PT. Would highly recommend. Plus, Steve is a really friendly. 10/10.

Steve is a friendly, down-to-earth chap and a very effective physio. He recently treated me for a frozen shoulder. I had a significant improvement after only two sessions, with some strong manipulation. Steve gave me some exercises to take away, which were also a great help.

I was suffering with insertional achilles tendinopathy in both heels and needed a BUPA approved practitioner. I did an online search and found Steve and had 8 sessions of shockwave treatment with him. Steve was professional, friendly, knowledgable and attuned to my pain tolerance levels. I have no hesitation in recommending him to other patients.

I’ve been visiting Steve for the better part of a year now for my herniated disc and I can honestly say he is the best physiotherapist around. If it weren’t for him and his great exercise recommendations, I would still be in a lot of pain and struggling to move. Really grateful for his help and highly skilled expertise, recommend him to anyone!

I recently visited Steve for treatment of persistent plantar fasciitis, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. After months of struggling with heel pain that affected my walking and daily activities, his shockwave therapy was a game changer!
From the first session, he explained everything clearly, made me feel completely comfortable, and tailored the treatment to my symptoms. The shockwave therapy itself was quick and manageable, and after just a few sessions, I noticed a significant reduction in pain. By the end of the treatment plan, I was able to walk without discomfort for the first time in ages. Would highly recommend

Steve was recommended to me by a friend and I was very successfully treated by him over 8 weekly sessions for plantar fasciitis. I could hardly put my foot to the floor at the first session at the beginning of August but this gradually got easier and I had my final treatment on 14 October. It worked for me and I would highly recommend Steve and his little machine!

Great physio Steven! He saved me twice , when I got plantar fasciitis due to keep on running after my toddler and looking after my new born baby.. and also helped me with my knee pain! I am so grateful I found him when I needed help (when GP gave me cream for my feet and asked to sit and relax 3 times a day with legs up and ice packs on 🤣 - when I’m mom of 2 without a village around to support.. 😅)
So I had to fix myself, quick! And with help of Steven that’s what we did! I don’t have any more pain in my feet , even though I’m on my feet sometimes most of the day.
I am pleased to highly recommend Steven as I’m pretty sure he can help most of you folks! And if he can’t he won’t pretend that he can just to make some more $$ on you .
Go and check for yourself!

Steve was really helpful and explained the process of the shockwave treatment in treating my Plantar fasciitis and how the recovery wouldn’t be immediate but noticeable improvement would take place in 8-12 week from the end of the treatment (which it is). Thanks very much 10/10 👍🏻👌🏻

Steve ensures that when I hurt my body and turn up crippled, that I can walk out of his treatment room, straight, in alot less pain, fully understanding what was wrong, how to continue the healing at home and that there is an open door, for when I turn up broken again. He is knowledgeable, friendly and I feel completely happy and safe in his hands.

Steve is our go-to physiotherapist. He has worked wonders with my husband’s plantar issues and various muscle aches and pains, and he continues to provide excellent ongoing physio for my daughter. Super friendly, professional, and a really nice chap, highly recommend!

I went to Steve at Midlands Shockwave & Physiotherapy Clinic with painful tennis elbow that was stopping me from playing tennis. Through a mix of targeted exercises, hands-on treatment, and acupuncture, he got me back to playing pain-free. I was so impressed that I recommended my mother to see him for her long-standing neck pain, which he has greatly improved. I’d highly recommend Steve for his expertise and care.

I had developed severe achilles tendon pain and my wife frogmarched me to Midlands Schockwave & Physiotherapy Clinic, which she discovered courtesy of Dr. Google. Following a knee replacement several years ago I had come to regard physiotherapists as latent psychopaths! However, I had 6 shockwave treatments, (uncomfortable at times but not too bad) over a 2 - 3 month period. These, together with regular prescribed exercises, produced a slow but steady improvement. Several months later I am pain free and able to carry on my daily activities as normal. I have now revised my opinion of physios. Wonderful people! For anyone struggling with a similar complaint I would highly recommend this form of treatment.

5 star treatment for my plantar fasciitis when i went to see Steve i could hardly walk, now I’m more or less healed and can play golf again, any time i needed treatment at awkward times he always obliges.

From the moment I walked into Midlands Shockwave and Physiotherapy Clinic, I was greeted by warm and friendly staff who made me feel comfortable and at ease.
During the first session, the physiotherapist took the time to thoroughly assess my injury and explain the benefits of shockwave therapy. Steve is very knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about helping with my recovery.
After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant improvement in my Achilles injury. The pain and discomfort that had been bothering me for months began to diminish.
What impressed me the most was the personalised approach taken by Steve. He provided me with exercises and stretches to strengthen the surrounding muscles and prevent future injuries. His holistic approach to my recovery made me feel confident that I was in the best hands.
I cannot speak highly enough of Steve who provided the treatment. Thanks to his help, I am well on my way to a full recovery and back to doing the activities I love.

I was referred to Steve when I developed knee problems with pain in bending, and walking up and down the stairs. Right from the first session Steve was able to identify what was causing the issue and then worked on a treatment plan over several weeks to fix the problem. I'm happy to report that my knee problem has now gone with full mobility restored, thanks Steve.

I had a really serious issue of frozen shoulder due to long hours of a sedentary job during Covid in 2021. Despite cortisone, the pain was excruciating affecting my work and overall quality of life. I was lucky to meet Steve Hakner, whose effective physiotherapy techniques and take-home exercise programme helped me recover steadily. I found Steve exceptional compared to others I visited in the past. He has profound depth of knowledge in this domain and was quick to bring me out of the acute pain phase and steadily helped me regain mobilty and range. He has excellent work ethics as he always explained the process he took me through, set clear expectations on the recovery journey, and made great effort to build rapport & connection, thus making the whole recovery period a positive and optimistic experience.

Steve is certainly one of the best in this area and I would highly recommend him !

Mike Saxby

I have had several courses of treatment for lower back pain with Steve and each time there has been a great improvement. Treatment is provided in a modern, well appointed environment and Steve is always most cheerful and helpful. Highly recommended!

Yvonne Gregory

I was recommended to Steve as part of my rehabilitation after a very bad ankle break.
Steve is extremely informative, instructions on home exercises were clear and very structured and he was always available if I needed to contact him to clarify anything. Without Steve’s help I wouldn’t have returned to normal activities (work and golf!) anywhere near as quickly.
I have no hesitation to recommend Steve.

Anita Richards

I visited Midlands Shockwave and Physiotherapy clinic for several months. I was treated by Steve. He was so very patient and understanding. He tried lots of different treatments including shockwave, manipulation and suggested various exercises, giving me an exercise plan to work to. All of which massively helped improve my conditions. I have all sorts of issues going on but I can honestly say he really helped. Having had a steroid injection, he worked with me and the orthopaedic surgery helping me gain strength and mobility back. I soon began to feel much stronger, confident a and able to get back on with my life. I would recommend him and feel confident that I could see him and get the help I need if I needed to again in the future.

Steve is really great at what he does. I went in wanting to cry whilst walking. Five sessions and I’m happily back to running and enjoying walks the dog.

Get booked in and enjoy life again.
