Therapist's Approach

Pros:

  • "Jamie took a unique, yet evidence-based approach to treating me which has rectified my issues and got me back to playing the sports I love."
  • "Using a progressive approach he has not only helped me manage my pain, symptoms and mood from rheumatoid arthritis, but it has also gone much deeper into treating other elements I did not know were an issue."
  • "Mark took a very holistic approach in healing my injury and has changed my whole perception on life, exercise and stress management."
  • "Jamie's holistic approach was a detailed analysis of how one stands in the world and how one find their feet in the world."
  • "Jamie takes a holistic approach to injury and pain, understanding both physical and psychological elements of symptoms."
  • "Mark's technique of discussing everything that he does before or as he does them is really helpful and makes you understand the underlying cause of your problems."
  • "He treats patients holistically, looking at all aspects of the person that could be causing/contributing to the problem."

Cons:

  • "He is extremely expensive and he totally miss diagnosed me."
  • "I felt pressurised into making treatment choices such as taking time off work for a prolonged period of time which was not a realistic option."
  • "On our next session Mark manipulated my spine in such a way that left me unable to walk for 2 months."
  • "Instead of feeling in a safe secure environment I left feeling vulnerable and emotionally manipulated."
  • "Unfortunately sessions with Mark had nothing to with sport and everything to do with alternative medicine."
  • "It was all quite harmless until the moment when at the end of second (and last) session Mark manipulated my wrist quite recklessly."
  • "In general my pain was disregarded, because 'pain doesn't mean damage', so I felt like I was not listened to and treated as if I was stupid."

Effectiveness of Treatment

Pros:

  • "The back pain that I'd been putting up with for two decades has almost completely gone, along with neck and shoulder problems that weren't even the focus of my treatments."
  • "Having tried many different therapies and therapists over the years I almost lost hope... Well I can honestly say it has been a revelation, he really helped me with my injuries, a very knowledgeable guy."
  • "All my aches and pains have gone, my posture is improved and I’m dealing with the stresses and strains of life far more effectively."
  • "A holistic approach appeals to me, but I've been very impressed at how effective the therapy has been."
  • "Sam quickly diagnosed the root cause of the problem, and her innovative treatment methods have got me back playing and feeling confident."
  • "Jamie's treatment has completely changed my life."
  • "Thanks to him, I'm able to run again and can happily kneel on the floor, 100% confident that the exercises we have done have strengthened my knee."

Cons:

  • "Luckily I went to an Osteopath who fixed me almost instantly through manipulating my hips (£60)... And £140 is too expensive."
  • "His advise and massage he did had no effect."
  • "However, after only two sessions with Mark I was able to get back training and playing matches."

Professionalism and Knowledge

Pros:

  • "I have found Jamie to be a personable and hugely knowledgeable young man, who works with humour and an excellent grasp of his client’s condition."
  • "Having used a number of Sports Therapists over the years, Jamie is by far the best and most knowledgeable."
  • "Mark is a fantastic Physio and very knowledgeable person and I will be certain to always use Mark in the future."
  • "She is lovely and very knowledgeable. Being somebody in a similar field, it's always fun to ask her questions about the anatomy of the human body that we're working on and it's amazing how much she knows!"
  • "Jamie is a really knowledgeable, friendly and professional physiotherapist who has mastered his trade."
  • "Apart from being a thoroughly great guy he's a total expert in what he does."
  • "He has a very holistic approach to sports therapy and is extremely knowledgeable."

Cons:

  • "I do not recommend this place."

Client Care and Communication

Pros:

  • "The way you are treated and the relief provided engender great trust, and they make certain that you always understand the treatment and can connect the process to the results."
  • "Both Sam (for the very first sessions) and Jamie (later on) have shown a very professional approach, explaining the whys and wherefores of their next moves."
  • "Mark really knows his stuff, takes the time to treat the causes rather than the symptoms and is interesting and fun to talk to."
  • "The atmosphere is always friendly yet thoroughly professional."
  • "Both Sam and Jamie have been very welcoming, making me feel at ease from the very first moment."
  • "Jamie really seemed to know his stuff and I'd thoroughly recommend his services."
  • "Mark was also the only physio that recognised the very real link between body and mind and how my low mood and stress was contributing to my pain."

Cons:

  • "I already told Mark what I didn't like about his approach, so no need to contact me. Just wanted to add my honest review."
