“The treatment I received was first class”

While training for the New York marathon I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder and neck that meant I had to stop running immediately. The next day my neck was so stiff I couldn’t turn my head and as the race was only weeks away I called Physio4Life and made an appointment for later in the week.

Not only did Rebecca thoroughly investigate the issue but she also took the time to understood that my goal was to be fit to run in New York. I was worried about missing training sessions and I was also worried I might not make the start line after months of training.

The treatment I received was first class and I was so confident Rebecca had identified and treated the issue that I was back in light training three days later before going on to successfully complete the marathon.

I would recommend Rebecca and Physio4Life to anyone who is looking for good quality, expert treatment.

“It’s amazing how much better I feel”

For nearly two years, I’ve suffered with problems with my back, neck and shoulders. Every couple of months my shoulders would jam so badly that I would have to take time off from work as I wasn’t able to sit up properly and struggled to even put clothes on. I would have acupuncture and massage treatment to relief the pain which would help temporarily but the pain would always return after a few days. In January 2010 I went to see Mark Saunders at Physio4Life who quickly realised that my problem wasn’t in my back or on my shoulders but in fact in my ribs. He started to treat my thoracic rings instead and it was amazing to see how quickly it helped. Already on my first visit, by Mark holding my ribs, I managed to turn my head pain free for the first time in months. I continued with 8 more sessions and by mid February, the stiffness and pain had fully disappeared. What’s even better is that a month on, the pain has stayed away. It’s amazing how much better I feel, in the two years I had gotten so accustomed to the pain that I just accepted as part of my life and had forgotten what “normal” feels like. It was a pleasure being treated at Physio4Life as the staff are always friendly, professional and clearly passionate about their work. I can warmly recommend them.
