PhysioActive Sports and Spinal Clinics Testimonials

PhysioActive's approach to the diagnosis and treatment of a long standing sports injury was exemplary. Having recommended further medical investigation I underwent surgery but returned to them for rehab. This was so successful that my surgeon used me as an example of the effectiveness of a well structured programme of physiotherapy and remedial exercise, both of which were provided by Chris Boynes of PhysioActive.

I’ve never been tempted to write a testimonial as I wonder if those people giving glowing recommendations actually exist, however when searching for this web site to pass on to a friend I read the testimonial so eloquently written I felt compelled to support all that was said. I too was referred to Phsio Active several years ago by my G.P. who had personally used the practice. I have also suffered a range of conditions over the years causing severe mobility problems and pain.

Due to the comprehensive range of treatment, advice and support I received from Chris and his team over the years I’m able to do the things I cherish. I won’t be running any marathons, going skiing, taking part in the Olympics or other great sporting activities. I’m just a grandmother in her late fifties with a full time office job a home and family. However I can now pick up my grandchildren and swing them round, I can play their games running skipping and jumping. I lead a full and active life pushing my own physical boundaries to do things I enjoy and wish to thank Physio Active for making this possible pain free.

On a practical level I have appreciated their friendly no nonsense approach, I like that they kept my G.P. informed of progress along the way and felt they were driven by the desire to get me in good shape as soon as possible. They are professional and approachable and make you feel you are amongst friends.

I whole heartedly recommend them to anyone of any age with any condition, don’t be apprehensive give them a try you’ll be glade you did.

Keep up the good work we need you.

P.S. My husband has requested I add a comment on his behalf.
“Thanks Chris for making it possible for me to still be playing regular veterans football at 60. Still doing the exercises every day. Cheers ”

A very friendly service. Chris Boynes was my physio-he was actually recommended to me by a local GP-he is obviously an expert in his field, and gave me confidence from our first meeting. He listened to my perception of the problem, and after examining me provided a 'plan of action'!
He was cheerful ,kind and supportive throughout- seeing me through surgery and out the other side!Nothing was too much trouble-liaising with others involved in my treatment,and he always returned my emails!I have already recommended family and friends to PhysioActive. Absolutely brilliant!

I had four sessions with Jim Hopkins, who was very professional, and helped ease my left knee joint pain, which up until then had been a recurring nightmare.

I went from limping to walking normally and being able to resume my gym workouts, which are now tailored to low impact exercises, to avoid further occurence of this issue.

I would highly recommend their treatment.

I have been to lots of people about my bad back over the years - and this is the first time that not only was the problem instantly helped but also I was shown lots of exercises to help prevent the problem recurring. I travelled from Tunbridge Wells because it was so highly recommended - and I am now spreading the word down here in Kent.

Physioactive is a facility that caters for any type of injury (not only a sporting one!). I had overstretched about 6 years ago when putting a plug in a socket and had been left with a nagging lower back problem that flared up at times, but never quite went away. I was shown how to manage the pain through regular use of stretching exercises and I had fortnightly sessions with a physiotherapist for about 8 weeks until I was better.
I highly recommend this clinic.

I was referred to PhysioActive for an ongoing problem with my neck.
The treatment I received in a few sessions, now means I have full mobility after months of pain and discomfort. I was also given exercises to prevent a recurrence of the problem.
The team at PhysioActive were professional, helpful and also managed to identify and refer me for another condition, which has been unresolved for sometime.
I am very grateful to the staff at PhysioActive for all their excellent help and advice.

Due to years of hard training I have suffered many injuries. On visiting Chris and his team, I have always received the upmost professional care and treatment, resulting in the ability to continue with my training with the minimum of disruption.

I was diagnosed as having osteoarthritis in my neck and shoulder with a recommendation that I have phsyio to help alleviate the pain which was radiating into my head. I had five sessions with Paul at Physioactive (Mottingham)which thankfully relieved me of my continuing pain and stiffness. I cannot speak highly enough of the physio given to me and the friendly and efficient way my treatment was carried out. Many months on,despite having a condition that cannot be cured, I am still pain free with far more flexibility than I could have dreamed of and I have no hesitation in recommending PhysioActive to others.

I have only used the clinic once, in November 2010. The physiotherapist was quick to diagnose my problem. He was honest to say that there no was no treatment there that could help my problem. He referred me to my GP and the NHS took over. I could have been told to come along and take my money and nothing improved. Hope I do not need to go back but I know I trust the place.

“I'm fortunate to be a part of the World Class Lifting (WCL) squad actively training towards competing at the 2012 London Olympics and, before that, the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

As with any other sportsperson, I am prone to niggling strains and injuries that need prompt and effective attention because if left unchecked, they could lead to something more serious and affect my training.That would be the last thing I need if I'm to achieve my ambitions!

It's great that WCL referred me to PhysioActive because it means I get first class treatment locally whenever I need it, in a friendly environment. I always see the same physio (Chris Boynes) which means I have continuity of care and know that he is fully aware of my sporting needs.”

"I would like to say a really big thank you to Chris, Jim and all the staff at PhysioActive. Without their support over the past 4 years I would not be skiing and racing at an international level today. They have helped me overcome many injuries, both severe and minor, and helped me keep my motivation at a premium when most needed. The support is endless and advice is never more than a phone call away. This has ensured that I’m skiing to my highest potential and reaching my goals on and off the slopes."
Aaron Tipping, Great Britain skier
