Common Questions

At Optimum, we don’t just treat symptoms — we find the root cause. Our approach combines advanced physiotherapy techniques such as spinal manipulation, acupuncture, and rehabilitation with a personalised treatment plan tailored to your lifestyle and goals.

Unlike many clinics, we take the time to understand your body, your movement, and your long-term health. Every session is hands-on, evidence-based, and designed to get you back to full function as quickly and safely as possible.

With over 200 five-star reviews and a reputation as Birmingham’s leading sports and injury clinic, Optimum delivers more than therapy — we help you optimise your body’s true potential.

Your first session at Optimum begins with a detailed consultation where we listen to your concerns, medical history, and goals. We then carry out a thorough assessment of your posture, movement, and any problem areas.

From there, we create a tailored treatment plan. Depending on your needs, this may include hands-on therapies such as spinal manipulation, massage, acupuncture, or targeted rehabilitation exercises. We’ll also give you clear guidance on what to do at home so you see progress between sessions.

Every appointment is designed to be professional, supportive, and focused on helping you move better, recover faster, and prevent future problems.

We’ll match you with the clinician best suited to your needs and goals. Each of our team has specialist skills, and if you’d ever like to switch, we’ll make it simple.

Absolutely. Many of our clients come to us not because they’re injured, but to stay injury-free, improve posture, move better, and feel more in control of their body.

Our care is designed for both performance and prevention. Whether you’re training at a high level, getting back into activity, or just not moving quite like yourself, we’ll help you understand and optimise your body.

And if you do have an injury? Our expert clinicians are highly trained to assess, treat, and guide you safely back to full health.

Yes — we work with all major insurance providers. Simply provide us with your insurer’s name, membership number, and claim/authorisation reference, and we’ll take care of the booking for you.

An excellent experience all round! I am delighted to have found Qasim and relieved to be making progress. I presented with a long term injury of 2 years duration as well as a newer injury of ~3 months duration. Qasim has been thorough, totally professional, approachable, reassuring and encouraging. He answers questions and explains clearly. He is prepared to be flexible and alter the rehab programme according to my individual requirements at each appointment. I have had massage/deep tissue release and dry needling. The key is the progressive rehab plan after a detailed history and assessment. I only wish I had found him sooner!

Qasim is an absolute expert. I came to him with lower back pain, and his therapy sessions completely turned things around. My pain is under control and feeling so much better. Highly recommended!

I honestly cannot recommend Qasim enough. I came to him after injuring my lower back during intense gym training. At its worst I was struggling to bend or move properly without pain and stiffness, and it was really affecting my day-to-day activities. Qasim was extremely knowledgeable and thorough, using a combination of hands-on treatment, massage, acupuncture and a personalised rehabilitation programme. He also gave me clear guidance on safely returning to the gym and rebuilding my strength. The improvement has been significant and much quicker than I expected. My pain, stiffness and mobility have improved massively, and I genuinely don’t think I would have recovered this quickly without his expertise. Professional, reassuring and clearly very skilled at what he does. I would 100% recommend Qasim for treatment!

Qasim at Optimum Physio has completely relieved my back pain. He assessed me correctly, found the root cause, and gave me tailored stretches to do at home. I would highly recommend him to anyone and will definitely be using him again.

Basically, I usually come in for contractures caused by stress, and after each session with Mr Qasim, my muscles feel completely reset.
