Testimonials

As a “Senior” client who has enjoyed playing sport over the years, in order to continue regular golf and for general physical flexibility, I find I need regular “maintenance” in conjunction with a planned routine at the gym.

I have had various sport based injuries and Holcombe Health Clinic has provided good on-going treatment, as required.

In recent times, Remy has been my physio and I find her to be very helpful with a pleasant friendly manner to complement the professional treatment and to set things in realistic context appropriate to my requirements.

The team at Holcombe Health Clinic is second to none. Friendly, professional, caring and so knowledgeable. COVID procedures in place made me feel very safe. With my current back, glute and leg pain I have seen both Lou and Julie; excellent physio treatment from both including acupuncture, manual therapy and rehab exercises. Highly recommend this clinic; wouldn’t go anywhere else. All my family comes here too!

Following a recommendation from a friend, I saw Louis for a problem with my knee and the treatment I received was fantastic. The initial assessment was thorough and he managed to zone in on a few problems it could be. Exercise plan given worked efficiently, focusing on specific muscles in my quads to strengthen my VMO. Repeat sessions are extremely beneficial; chance to use high quality treatment equipment to strengthen the knee. After six weeks of exercises and treatments, my knee is stronger and my ROM is greater due to it. Professional approach to the COVID regulations around the clinic with correct PPE worn by all staff members. Excellent service, massively impressed; am definitely going to recommend to others.

Louise is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. I’m an Age Group triathlete and the few injuries I’ve had have been quite major. A trapped nerve in my neck stopped me from being able to use my arm and left me in serious pain just two weeks before a European championship race. Two appointments is all it took and some exercises to do at home and I was able to race. I recommend Louise to everyone; she really does work miracles.

I am being helped by both Lisa (nutrition/weight loss) and Louise (physiotherapy) removing literally years of lower back pain and returning my knees to normal, after they were buckling under my increasing weight gain. Now back to normal levels of muscular comfort and down from over 23 stone to nearly 15 stone in 16 months. And a fantastic new life!! Thanks so much.

I’m a professional jockey. My work means I’m active every day and I have very little time to let my body rest and recover. I have been treated by Louise for a while now and I couldn’t manage my career without her help.

I can honestly say that my session with Barry was a very positive one from my point of view. The knowledge and tips given to me on my running technique and reasons why I was getting twinges in certain areas of my body was fantastic. Small things like using bands to stretch etc gave me a the nudge in the right direction without it being too much information which would have made me ‘switch off’. The soft tissue massage was an eye opener. It showed me how ‘stiff’ I was with my movements and I was then shown some low level effective stretching exercises to conduct after each run I do etc. These stretches both with band and without have now started to be a big part of my running schedule.

I would recommend Louise and Holcombe Health Clinic without any hesitation. Louise has helped me no end in order to get my body moving again due to severe arthritis. She’s treated me top to toe and has made a massive difference to my mobility, responding to what my body needs at that moment in time. I’m extremely grateful for the support and the encouragement she has given me. I leave each session feeling really positive about how my body is restrengthening. Through regular sessions, I can now see a more active future. On the more practical side…it’s easy to get to, there’s ample free parking outside of the front door to the building and evening appointments so I don’t have to organise childcare. Certainly makes a difference when you’re uncomfortable/in pain. Thanks so much.

I’ve been visiting Louise on and off for nearly a year now. Louise has played a key role in getting me ready for important races, both body and mind. Teaching me to understand my body better, not only has she fixed my injuries, but she has more importantly helped me understand how to prevent injury. I always receive a warm, friendly welcome from the team at Holcombe Health Clinic. They definitely come highly recommended from me. Thanks guys.

Honestly can’t tell you how good I feel after I go in for my back. My range of movement is massively increased after. If anyone has a problem, you need to go to these people! They are amazing! Thank you again, Louise!

The LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) was lucky enough to have Lou for a week in China! She worked on players individually and I have to say she is the best physio I’ve ever worked with. She made me feel comfortable and also knew the limits I had to my body just by an assessment. I would recommend Lou to anyone who needs physio help and I would be happy to see any of her associates, as I’m sure she only hires the best! Thanks, Lou, for not only helping me heal but also educating me.
