Luqman Mazhar,
Physiotherapist

I'm an experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapist working across NHS services, GP practice, private clinics and elite sport.

Based in Newcastle-under-Lyme, I help patients across Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas recover from pain, injury and return to full activity.

I started Primus Physio after seeing too many patients rushed through appointments — given quick advice and left without a clear recovery plan. Getting better takes more than a single session. It takes proper assessment, honest explanation, and a structured plan tailored to you.

Primus Physio was built to provide exactly that: longer one-to-one sessions, personalised rehabilitation, and the support you need to get back to full strength.

My Treatment Philosophy

I focus on identifying and addressing the root cause of your pain — not just temporarily relieving symptoms.

Many people get stuck in a cycle of pain and avoidance: movement is reduced to avoid discomfort, which leads to stiffness, weakness and the problem returning again and again.

Treatment sessions are used to reduce pain and improve mobility using hands-on techniques, while a structured rehabilitation programme addresses the underlying cause — helping you restore strength, improve movement and stay pain-free long term.

1

Find the root cause

A thorough assessment to understand not just where the pain is, but why it's there.

2

Reduce pain quickly

Hands-on treatment to ease symptoms and restore movement in the short term.

3

Rebuild & strengthen

A personalised rehab plan that progresses as you improve, targeting the underlying issue.

4

Prevent recurrence

The goal isn't just recovery — it's making sure the problem doesn't come back.
