TESTIMONALS

Thank you for your kind comments & feedback

"Thanks John, that was such a helpful session that has really helped me to understand better where I am with both my mental and physical health. Already looking forward to a little canter this evening!
Just run...first time pain free in months! It feels amazing. Thank you so, SO much for helping me today. You are a star and I can’t thank you enough!"
Peter

"Thank you John. That session made such a difference. I’ve been resisting a tide of negativity about the prospect of being able to rectify this. I’m feeling way more confident now."
Ellie

"Although I was a little uncertain how a 'Zoom/video' link consultation during lockdown would work, in practice the session was really very helpful indeed. John was able to watch how some of my exercises needed fine tuning and advise directly. His follow up downloaded information, notes & video have become a very useful reminder until next time."
Tim

"Just to say thank you so much for the advice yesterday...my wrist feels so much better. Very reassuring to get some expert advice thank you."
Kate

"It’s a huge relief to understand what has caused my hip problem and encouraging to be told that I’m the only one who can fix it! Your metaphorical “kick up the backside” - in the nicest possible way - was exactly what I needed. 
I’m doing the exercises and walks as instructed 😂 and I’m sure it won’t be long before I begin to feel the benefits. I now know what I need to do... and WHY... which is always a crucial motivator for me."

"Just wanted to say I have had three weeks of back and hip pain (told I have arthritis at 5/4) after a kite session. Did your exercises in vid link today and pain free! Kicking myself I did not try before!"

"Thanks for your great professionalism. It’s been a pleasure working and talking with you."
Colin 

"You have treated me in the past (and my son Harry - who you may recall had ACL reconstruction and you helped his rehab), so when my crew get niggles, I don’t hesitate to refer them to you as it’s worth it to me to have them physically fit for work."
Rob

"John is an exceptionally knowledgeable and effective physio who has managed to diagnose and treat my various neck and back problems with great success. His ability to identify the causes of pain is remarkable. I unreservedly recommend him."
Flick

"Thank you so much for your guidance and for helping me achieve mobility, strength and fitness after weeks of living on strong painkillers. I have now realised that the solution, and my future fitness, are in my hands. We must all take responsibility for taking care of ourselves and not look to someone else, something else or painkilling drugs to prove the answer. Despite being convinced manipulation or other intervention was the only way, the WhatsApp consultations worked perfectly and I now have the keys to future active health!"
Jill

"Thanks John, as a reluctant patient, this turned out to be one of the wisest personal investments I have made. 
The long term pain in my shoulder has reduced to a mere memory. I'm grateful for your professional 'do this to fix it' guidance. I needed that! Also, I appreciate your awareness of how best to convey important elements, I noticed you adapt as the sessions progressed. Many thanks for getting me out of a progressively deteriorating problem." 
Martin

"Many thanks for your great services - I am much better now and did my run this morning without any more difficulty than usual. I hope that if I need your help again it will be in person, but it is useful to see what is still possible by remote consultation!"
Philip

"Thank you so much for sorting me. Since I saw you, my leg has improved in leaps and bounds...literally! I have cut, felled, split and stacked some 5/6 tons of firewood in the last few days and can walk about three miles and can bend to the right!"

"I wanted to take a moment to thank you from Surfing GB. I have seen many of your emails and work this year and am so impressed. I have experienced sport at all levels and the information, communications and support you have provided to the surfers and staff have been spot on."
Nick Rees, Surfing GB
 
"Your brilliant tips on my shoulder have fixed it, so we won’t need the session a week on Friday. Thanks for sorting it out, the recommendation was spot on."
TR, Kingsbridge
 
"Thank you John, having seen numerous professionals in this country and Australia over the past few months you have been the only person to have correctly diagnosed the problem with my back which has been causing such pain and discomfort for seven months. The exercise regime you prescribed has without doubt enabled me to regain some form of normal living. Thank you."
RP, Thurlestone
 
"I am 100% convinced that without the sessions with you, I would have got nowhere near completing the challenge - and would not have been able to crank up the mileage so quickly to start it! So a massive thank you for all your help. Over the years I have had many visits to physios/osteopaths, etc, but no one has got to the heart/cause of the injuries and sorted me out the way that you have."
AC, Kingsbridge following three coastal marathons in three days
 
"I really appreciated the work that went into my rehab and would have never had the confidence to go back at that level without your work."
PT, Bath University netball player following ACL reconstruction
 
"Well that worked. Benchmark run of 7.5 miles. 10 days ago - 1hr 7mins. Today - 1hr 3mins. So come and see you and then run 4 minutes faster! Thanks for that....still loads left in the tank too."
DM 

"I never got the chance to thank you for the great work you did in helping me recover from my ACL reconstruction. I'm back scoring goals and the knee feels great."
RT
 
"I'd like to say thanks again for the physio back in January. My tight hamstring has cleared up and I'm playing football up to four times a week."
GB, Aveton Gifford
 
"John's diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation skills allowed me to return to work on my farm without the need for surgery."
JR, Kingsbridge

"I have no doubt that without your words of wisdom and encouragement he would have been half the player he was. Many thanks."
Nick
"John is a highly able, committed and hard-working senior physiotherapist. I commend him to you highly and without reservation. Additionally, I would go so far as to say that John is one the most skilled clinical physiotherapists I have worked with."
Mr Adrian Harris
Exeter Chiefs head of sports medicine & consultant emergency physician, Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital
"Thank you so much for arranging a swift appointment and for the very effective treatment that you gave. My back was significantly improved following the session. I have recommended you and The Hen House to a number of my friends who regularly visit the area."
