What our patients say

Jane Kemeys, Goldington Road

Alicia is always professional, considerate and kind

Gemma Jarvis, Towcester

By chance, Kelly @ Towcester was recommended to me for acupuncture to help with menopause symptoms.

Predominantly to treat hot sweats. However, not only has it massively reduced them, it has also “calmed” me. Anxiety and angst have been something I wasn’t expecting. The acupuncture sessions have been extraordinary. I feel so relaxed and no longer “tightly coiled”

A chance conversation has had a huge effect.

I cannot recommend Kelly @ Back & Body Towcester highly enough.

Less

Jenny, Bedford

I saw Lewin due to some neck pain that I could not get rid of.

was highly professional and able to resolve my problem in just one session. I would absolutely recommend him for anyone with muscular pain.

Michael Hobbs-Aldridge, Moulton

Just wanted to pass on my gratitude to your therapists,

particularly Ben who has guided my through a rehab programme and got me back to running
The recovery between January and now has been so successful that my leg was up to racing a half marathon at the weekend.

Lubna Majeed, Goldington Road

I came here for the first time today and had an excellent experience. Alicia was professional, very kind and extremely knowledgeable.

felt very comfortable with her, and am very confident that with her help I will soon be free of the debilitating pain i have in my shoulder and arm. I had a previous bad experience with a dreadful physiotherapist, but Alicia put me at ease and her thorough knowledge of my problem and how to address it, has given me peace of mind. I would advise anyone who needs to see a great physio in a lovely environment to come here.

Juilia Barnard, Towcester

Thank you very much Kelly for your expert advice and treatment today!

I’m very much looking forward to receiving the new ”Phits” orthotics, plus further physio & acupuncture to help with the management of my foot & spinal conditions.

Craig Holton, Towcester

Kelly has been super helpful in treating my bad back.

Kelly is really experienced and was able to tailor the treatment that was right for me with a mix of rehab and soft tissue work.
I was seeing Kelly for both sporting reasons and day to day management of my back pain and I couldn’t recommend enough. I saw Improvement throughout the treatment.
Thank you!

Elizabeth Tranter, Towcester

Kelly is an incredible Physio and her knowledge is exceptional. She is very professional and is such a lovely person.

She has been brilliant helping me rehab my knee with a mixture of exercises and treatment. The bonus of the online system for your exercises holds you accountable and keeps you on track. I very confidently can recommend her to both my clients and anyone who asks for a recommendation. The clinic is lovely, lots of parking and the reception staff are delightful. A super local business to support.

Less

Zac Osborne, Towcester

I received prolonged treatment for a variety of injuries from Kelly whilst playing rugby.

Through different approaches including dry needling and deep tissue massage she was always able to relieve aches and pains while giving me rehab exercises to expedite my own recovery. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

Laura Alexander, Towcester

Really pleased with the high level of care and service provided.

Consistently considering the entire picture to ensure I am able to get back to full health 🙂

Cecile H, Towcester

Very friendly admin stuff, very knowledgeable therapists.

I came with muscle problems from a spinal fracture and received a personal plan on how to be pain free again (a mix of massages and exercises). Can only recommend.

Less

Catherine Farmer, Towcester

I first saw Kelly for physio at the Wootton clinic but followed her to Towcester when the new clinic opened up. The new clinic is clean and bright with plenty of free parking.

Kelly’s treatment is excellent – she really listens to you to make sure she understands the issue you’re addressing. The hands on physiotherapy is helping with my condition and the online exercises to do at home have helped me alleviate my back pain.

The Back and Body Clinic is an approved vendor for my corporate health insurance provider so the billing is handled centrally rather than me having to pay upfront and claim back.

I highly recommend Kelly and the The Back and Body Clinic.

Less

Jane Smith, Towcester

Finding the Back and Body clinic has been a game changer for me.

Excellent care hands on physio, exercises to help yourself improve and maintain. Also a very friendly welcome

Emma Mercer, Moulton

Amazing results! Dale Wilding has made a huge difference to my mobility and flexibility – and the pain has disappeared!

Prub Gill, Moullton

Excellent service and environment. The clinic is terrific, I would recommend it to anyone.

. I was seen by Dale Wilding who was brilliant! Fantastic guy and amazing session that helped me feel less pain instantly. I would highly recommend Dale to anyone with any muscle or joint issues. I’m seeing him again in 2 weeks!.

Less

Kate D, Moulton

I went to see Annie a few weeks ago at Moulton with a horrendous pain in my neck / shoulder. She was (and is) such a lovely, professional, knowledgeable and supportive physiotherapist.

She identified the issue, worked her magic on getting it so I could at least turn my head slightly and gave me exercises and stretches to do. I’ve been back a few times for more treatment, and today had a Sports Massage as part of my ongoing ‘keep the pain away’! Brilliant service, really good value for money, and the team based here are all really pleasant and professional. If you’re near to Northampton, or in Northamptonshire – I can’t recommend enough!.

Less

Zoe Chatley, Medical

I cannot fault the B&B clinic, they have just been the most wonderful with my care.

I have been a patient of theirs for a few years now initially seeing Aisling who was amazing!! but in the last 18 months have had terrible issues with my hip and low lumbar region, which resulted in surgery. The care the consultant team Tom Saw, Matt and Sinead have given me has be world class and then my physios Dan and then Tyla has honestly been phenomenal, I’m literally there weekly at the moment, I feel part of the furniture. I cannot recommend and thank the whole team there enough. You guys are THE BEST, thank you x

Less

Neil Gordon, Medical

Very pleased with my experience here. Service used – Guided injection with Dr Saw.

Very easy booking experience, good contact prior to appointment. On the day everything ran smoothly to time, with the service and costing as described on the website. Excellent rapport created during the consultation and the procedure was professionally conducted with state of the art equipment. 24hrs later and I’m already starting to feel gradual improvement. Thank you!

Less

Deborah Moseley, Bedford

Amy Randall was professional, kind and understanding.

I had never had acupuncture before and was quite nervous at my first appointment. Amy made me feel at ease and in safe hands from the start. After 5 sessions my chronic widespread pain was under control and I felt more able to cope. Amy gave me excellent advice and after care exercises. I highly recommend Amy and the service I received at The back and body clinic.

Mike Mansfield at Great Denham was fantastic and so helpful and reassuring.

Cracking service and I would highly recommend.

Mate Craig, Moulton

Thank you to Dale and Dr. Lisa for the help in getting me fixed in time for the London Marathon.

Dale was superb in getting to the underlying issues. Dr Lisa talked me through the process and made it painless. Dales on going support has been invaluable. Wouldn’t have been on the start line without them.

Less

Laura Mills, Moulton

I booked in to see Tony due to a knee injury which I’d been struggling with for about 3 months following a fall down some stairs.

He was absolutely brilliant and by following his advice, my knee is feeling so much better only a couple of months later. Would definitely recommend this clinic and Tony. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Thanks Tony!

Andy Jackson, Moulton

After 7 years of trying to recover from a damaged hip flexor with little improvement and a distorted gait pattern due to over compensating,

Lee Kerner, Moulton

Following a cycling accident where I fractured my right elbow, I signed up with the Back and Body clinic post operation and with hardly any movement in my arm.

7 months of physio with Dan Atter I now have full range of motion in my arm and good strength. Dan’s approach was extremely positive from the start, using his expertise to slowly build up the steps towards full recovery, with a friendly welcoming approach to treatment Dan and I have worked together to achieve the right outcome. I would highly recommend Dan and the clinic to anyone, a quality service is provided by all at the clinic.

Reece Jones, Moulton

Can’t recommend Luke G enough. Came to Back and Body in December with a few injuries after seeing several physio before hand who couldn’t fix the issues. Straight away after seeing Luke and having some treatments the injuries I seemed to improve almost immediately. Can’t thank him enough!!

Mervyn Phillips, Moulton

I have been using Back & Body Clinic since they started business I cannot recommend them highly enough,

I recently had a serious car crash of which left me with whiplash and pains to my lower back. I booked an appointment with Dan Atter, he has been fantastic his attitude and attention to detail is first class. Thank you Dan you are a star regards Mervyn

Less

Thomas Williams, Wootton

Went in to see a physio called Ollie at this clinic with a shoulder pain I had for years but thought I could just work through it. Naturally turns out I couldn’t.

After about 3 sessions my shoulder strength started to come back, my mobility got so much better and I’ve stopped getting cramps so often in my left arm. The professionalism and communication from this guy Ollie and the team is bang on. I’d strongly recommend this place for any muscle/joint pain you have. They work wonders.

Less

Annabel Isherwood, Wootton

I want to say a big thank you to Tyla who has been so brilliant over the last 8 months.

I booked an appointment with Tyla in September after my running injury hadn’t improved with rest. She listened and understood my crazy goal of running a marathon in April even though I couldn’t walk without pain. Every week, she was encouraging, friendly and positive and very knowledgable. She always had a plan that suited me and my goals. She formulated a very sensible return to running which built up gradually alongside the strength training programme.
When my injury started to improve and I didn’t need a weekly appointment, Tyla was always available by email to answer any queries or worries I had which was so reassuring.

All of her advice and support was brilliant, as I not only ran the marathon without any pain or further injuries but I got a 5 minute PB. Throughout treatment, Tyla always said the hard work with the strength training would pay off and she was correct.

I can’t thank her enough for all her help and advice. I will be continuing to see Tyla to help avoid any further injuries and would recommend her to anyone looking for a brilliant physio.

Less

Laura Higgs, Wootton

I’ve been seeing Fleur for the last 6 months as I was suffering with lower back problems after having my 18 month old son.

I couldn’t do any exercise as it was too painful during and for days after.
My experience has been next to none, Fleur is very experienced, supportive, encouraging and very friendly.
She always made me feel at ease and supported me to get from doing nothing since having my baby to now going to the gym twice a week, hot yoga and starting my running again with no back pain!!
All the knowledge shared and exercises given were amazing and has made me feel confident to get back into running and weight training with no pain.
Thank you for all your help and support Highly recommended .

Less

Debbie Wigley, Wootton

When I first attended Back & body clinic at Wootton I had just started my weight loss & get fitter regimen at age of 60.

I was suffering with severe osteoarthritis in my knee & due to increase in walking now had bad tendinitis in my ankle. I was nervous at first appointment but was seen by Andrea Giampaoli who was patient & quickly made me feel at ease. He gave me exercises for my knee & also had course of acupuncture to knee & ankle.Andrea was so supportive and professional. I was working hard at getting fitter but due to pain in knee had steroid injection via GP. I continued to see Andrea post injection & he gave me exercises & suggestions to work on strengthening my knee once injection had started to work. I worked hard to follow his advise & had my last appointment in January. I am still working hard on weight loss ( lost 4 stone so far), walking & loving Zumba. I cannot thank Andrea enough & would highly recommend him & the team. I won’t hesitate to arrange to see him again if needed.

Less

Rosie Hillman, Wootton

I have seen various therapists within the practice and all have treated me with great respect and listened to my needs.

My latest visits have been for a problem with my neck, it’s not a common problem but Ollie listened to my symptoms and treated me, gave me exercises to do at home and my symptoms improved 50% within a week. Thank you to Ollie, I will highly recommend him to anyone.

Less

Sally M, Moulton

I really can’t speak highly enough of Ollie Graham at the Back and Body clinic.

His knowledge is excellent and he methodically evaluates the issue, explaining so clearly along the way, as he diagnoses and plans a programme of support. His wonderful friendly and calming manner always puts me at ease and I feel able to ask questions. He’s previously very successfully treated my persistent back and neck ache, and today he made an immediate improvement to my knee, injured whilst skiing. Thank you so much Ollie. You really are a star and you’ve helped me so much.

Victoria Morrow, Moulton

Highly recommend. Josh is extremely knowledgeable, professional and helpful.

daughter started with knee pain but after a few months of treatment, has no pain. Will definitely return if we are ever in need

I went in with terrible back pain. Ollie was amazing! Worked his magic, gave me some exercises to do.

My back is so much better! I would highly recommend him. Thank you Ollie

Less

Sharry Hall, Moulton

My issues have been made easier to manage because Back and Body provides professional and experienced therapists.

I have improved greatly as a result. On top of that it is a very friendly environment. I always walk away from an appointment feeling totally satisfied and with a smile on my face. I was going somewhere else prior to Back and Back, however Back and Body offers far more services and a more superior experience. I highly recommend.

Less

Fiona B, Moulton

I only saw Dr Tom Saw once in Moulton, but there had been good liaison with my physio in Bedford.

care & support I’ve received has been brilliant, supported and individualised for me rather than being a coverall. All the staff I’ve come into contact with have been supportive, willing to answer questions and very friendly, taking a real interest in you to get to the root of your difficulties. I would thoroughly recommend them

Less

Paula Edmonds, Moulton

Excellent level of service received by Ellie Pearson on all my appointments with her, very thorough indeed gets to the route of the problem. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and do to my clients.

Rich Railton, Medical

NHS told me to come back if it still hurts in a month. Dr Tom Saw went the extra mile and confirmed with an MRI that my knee was fractured and needed treatment.

The explanations, care and treatment were all top notch. Thank you!

Sarah Yeo, Wootton

5 stars & more… I absolutely love coming to Tyla for my back appointments with my daughter.

She’s not only fun, nice & professional but she works her magic on our backs. She’s managed to take pain away that I had been suffering with for 15 years & thought I would always have to live with it.
I’ve visited so many therapist in the past, who had a good reputation but they don’t come close to what Tyler manages to do. She really is the very best.

Christine Owens, Wootton

I was recommended the Back & Body clinic by several friends & I’m so glad I took their advice.

All the staff are friendly & professional. I was under the care of Tyla & felt completely reassured by her excellent knowledge & calm & reassuring manner. She worked her magic on my trapped nerve & offered lots of advice on strengthening my muscles & improving my posture. I would definitely recommend the clinic.

Fabulous advice and therapy received from Laura Donate has enabled me to recover and continue doing my own exercises at home.

Very knowledgeable and skilled therapist. Highly recommend.

Less

Katrina De-Lara, Moulton

Several people had recommended the Back and Body clinic but I was relying on the NHS to help – which was a mistake!

By the time I had my first appt with Ollie I was desperate and at rock bottom. I had so much pain in my neck, shoulders and wrist that I didn’t know what to do with myself and my job was at risk. Ollie listened to all the problems and despite being more than one issue and the fact that I’d booked for a sports massage, he talked me through what he thought and over the next few months he reduced the pain. It was recommended I have a steroid injection in my neck which is the best money I have ever spent! Dr Tom and Sinead were so lovely, they kept me informed and took great care of me during and after. I’ve then continued physio with Ollie and he has been amazing with all his advice, exercises and work that he has done with all my ailments!
It sounds dramatic but going to the Back and Body clinic has changed my life. It felt like I would always be in pain but now things are so much better.
Everyone is so lovely and welcoming and they really care about getting you on the mend. I can’t recommend them enough.

Sam Badhan, Bedford

Great service provided and very professional. Highly recommended

Yahia Hussain, Bedford

Lisa Shefchick, Wootton

Ollie Graham (Physio) has been fantastic as helping me resolve an issue with my lower back//sacrum.

I felt like he really listened to me and understood what was needed to support me. The exercises were super helpful. Thank you so much! I highly recommend seeing him.

Less

Mark Smallwood, Wootton

I tore one of my right rotator cuff muscles but had been diagnosed at my GP surgery with a frozen shoulder and told it would be a year before it was better. This was unacceptable so I sought treatment at this clinic due to the excellent treatment I’d had many years ago on my back.

Andrea Giampaoli carefully diagnosed the real issue and I can only describe him as being a genius. I had 4 appointments and each time careful tests were conducted and exercises prescribed. I was discharged yesterday and my shoulder is healed with full range of pain free motion and I’m able to begin weight training again.

I’m so grateful as my shoulder was agony and I could barely tolerate lifting it. It kept me awake at night but thanks to Andrea and doing exactly as he instructed I’m back in action.

Andrea if you read this thank you so much. Not only are you a great physio but you were always a pleasure to see.

Best wishes

Mark

Isabel Denny, Bedford

The Back & Body Clinic have been amazing through my shoulder and neck complicated injury rehab.

Their well trained and skilled staff were SO caring, kind, and friendly throughout. This, along with their respect for their patients, their passion for their job, and their clean, modern clinics, was outstanding.
A huge thank you to Mike Mansfield who provided most of my treatment… a truly professional, awesome physiotherapist who made every session a pleasure; and who’s skilled hands, over time, facilitated my healing.
Many times it felt like he was hardly doing anything…. the following day/week always revealed the power of his treatment. After my experience, I would recommend to anyone…keep going back and let them show their worth! Healing takes time. I’m sure glad I didn’t give them up after 2 sessions.
These guys are amazing.

Richard Watson, Moulton

Had great results working with Josh.

I had an appointment the same day I rang and following the exercise plan he gave and with four follow up appointments, my knee was much better and I was back playing football in under a month.

Guy Barker, Bedford

Mike Mansfield and his team at The Back and Body Clinic are brilliant! The welcome from all is fantastic.

The clinical information from Mike is clear, and well explained, and despite his enthusiasm for jabbing needles into dodgy knees (I had an Ultrasound guided knee injection with steroid and hyaluronic acid….eek) everything is carried out extremely professionally. The clinic continues to invest in high tech gear i.e the Ultrasound scanner, this makes the process even more precise. Past results were great so I’m looking forward to pain free Skiing once everything has settled down 🙂

Less

Jesse Masih, Bedford

Joe has been a fantastic help over the last few weeks. Prior to visiting the clinic, I was in a great deal of pain, I could barely walk,

and I had been misdiagnosed multiple times by other professionals. Joe was the first person to consider all my symptoms and to give me a clear answer and treatment plan. Over the following weeks, he worked with me patiently and diligently, offering both physical and psychological support. It was evident that he was working with me in an individualistic way, considering my personal body mechanics and how I was responding and what I needed as the weeks went by. As a direct result of our sessions, I am now able to walk and live my life as normal. I have the utmost faith in Joe’s knowledge and skills, and I cannot thank him enough. The clinic itself is also a lovely, welcoming atmosphere thanks to all the staff there.

Less

Emma Quigley – Moulton

The clinic as a whole is absolutely fantastic, very welcoming reception staff.

Rachel Johnson, Moulton

First appointment with these guys and what amazing services.

Was recommended by a friend to the Back & Body Clinic due and I was extremely satisfied.

All staff were very professional but warm and friendly. Very clean, well kept clinic, plenty of parking and easy to get to. I saw Dale Wilding who was amazing and helping solve and ease my pain plus provided realistic and acheivable excercises for me to do at home to prevent and help protect this from happening again. Dale was great at assessing the source of pain, explaining how/what/why, and helping me move forward in a friendly, kind and proffesional manner. I would highly recommend them!.

After being sent back and forth between dentists and doctors with intense toothache and earache, they couldn’t resolve the acute pain. I booked in with Luke Girvan at the Back & Body Clinic in Northampton,

and he actually diagnosed Trigeminal Neuralgia. This was a game changer. We had two ‘tough’ sessions of physio and acupuncture that were quite hard, but I saw results. By the third session, the pain had regressed, and I was just so pleased to be out of the awful pain I had been living with for so long. Thank you so much Luke!!

Susan Ingram, Moulton

I was referred to The Back and Body clinic for treatment on a torn plantar that wasn’t repairing, it was creating issues walking and in the gym for me. After injections from Dr Tom, I was introduced to Helen Southall for physio.

Thank you guys! Suffering with lower back pain, facet joint sprains, slipped discs, bulging discs in past, you name it. I have given up so many times, especially when under severe pain, but they were always able to help and lead me to recovery, made me smile and cry :D. I would strongly recommend to anyone. It’s well spent money, investment for health.

Helen Wright, Moulton

My teenage daughter saw Amy regularly for several months for Severs disease. She plays football for an academy Amy was fantastic.

Amy made sure we got the right diagnosis by liaising with Dr Tom Saw within the clinic. Then she came up with a treatment plan, which she adapted at each stage. When my daughter had to take all load off her heel and get round on crutches for several weeks, Amy was very empathetic and caring. When she needed to be tough and firm, she did that too, but always with a sense of humour! She went above and beyond to help improve the situation and even liaised with the football club to make sure everyone was on the same page. With Amy’s expert management of the condition, my daughter is recovering well and is now able to play football again. We will miss seeing Amy! We wouldn’t hesitate to return to her in the future.

Karen, Moulton

Hello, my name is Karen and I am 63 years old. I went to see Luke on the 2nd of June about a knee problem that had probably resulted from a car accident many years ago

where I had two discs removed and a spinal fusion. I was finding it very difficult to walk up stairs or just walk some days, so much so I seriously contemplated a bungalow! I did not hold out much hope as unlike my husband I was very very skeptical about Physios. Very down hearted I reluctantly went to the appointment my husband arranged. I don’t think I am exaggerating when I say that over the next two months Luke not only fixed my knee but my back as well, and most importantly for me, my mental attitude towards life! He showed me that life was not over and I was not destined for a sedentary life. I am now doing my exercises with gusto, my back is definitely stronger, I no longer take deep breaths in before going up stairs. I can honestly say it has been the best thing I ever did – thank you so much Luke!!.

I have suffered from back and hip problems for a number of years I was recommended to visit the back and body clinic at Moulton. From the first moment I entered the clinic I found the staff friendly and welcoming.

first moment I entered the clinic I found the staff friendly and welcoming. Having discussed my issues with a member of staff I was recommended that the best person to help me was Luke Garvin, for this I am very grateful. I am quite a complex case as I have both muscle and joint problems. Luke gave me a full and detailed assessment. Having explained what was causing my issues, Luke then worked out a plan going forward.Since then with treatment and recommended exercises my condition has very much improved. I cannot thank Luke enough for all his help, encouragement and constant support.

Exceptional Care and Expertise – Highly Recommended!

Review:
I am writing this review to express my deepest gratitude to Fleur, my physiotherapist at Back and Body Wootton Clinic. From my very first appointment to my final session over 12 weeks, Fleur has been an invaluable part of my healing process and I couldn’t be more thankful.

Initially, I believed I was suffering from shin splints, but Fleur’s expertise and thorough assessment led to a correct diagnosis of a strained tibialis anterior muscle. Her keen observation and accurate diagnosis set the course for a targeted and effective treatment plan.

Under Fleur’s care, I have made remarkable progress. I can now confidently run over 5 kilometers without any difficulties, something I couldn’t have imagined before seeking her professional help. Fleur’s unwavering support, patience, and tailored rehabilitation exercises have played a crucial role in my recovery and overall well-being.

Being Fleur’s patient has been an absolute pleasure. Her passion for her work and deep understanding of the human body’s intricacies shine through in every interaction. Her wealth of knowledge on strengthening techniques and treatment modalities is truly remarkable, and her commitment to excellence in her field is evident.

In closing, I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to Fleur once again. Her skill, expertise, and genuine care have made a world of difference in my recovery, and I am eternally grateful.

I highly recommend Fleur to anyone in need of exceptional physiotherapy care!

Excellent assessment and treatment of a running injury meant I was back to training and racing much quicker than expected. Thank you Fleur !

Katie, Moulton

The Back and Body Clinic have absolutely lovely staff members and a warm welcoming environment.

After seeing Luke, just even from the first few minutes of talking I finally felt listened to after struggling with my condition for around 5 years. He really took the time to consider what was right for me and was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had.

I’ve been seeing Amy at the Great Denham site for the last few months. I hurt my back and Amy has helped me with massage and online exercises that I can do at home.

After my back improved I had very tight muscles in my leg and knee and again massage and exercise has helped. I no longer need physio but I know where to go if I have any more problems in the future. I would recommend Amy and the Back and Body clinic.

This is the second time I have been seeing Helen Southall. About a year ago she recognised my dodgy back and arthritic hip. In addition to recommending a series of exercises, she wrote to my GP urging an X ray on my hip.

a hip replacement in November I found that I had also seriously sprained my ankle. So now Helen is working on ankle, hip and back! I have found her caring, sympathetic and professional. The service I get from Helen and the clinic is both slick and effective. Many thanks

Gareth Conway, Northampton

I had been having severe pain in my left knee for several months which woke me up every night. I was referred to Stuart for treatment. I was sceptical that physio would fix it but how wrong I was.

A series of 10 sessions with Stuart my knee is now pain free and has much more movement in it. Stuart explained to process, what exercises I needed to do between sessions and how soon I would start to feel the benefits.
The sessions with Stuart were excellent and equally important he is a very nice chap and we had a good chat each time. Overall it was a very good experience and I would not hesitate to go back in the future

Wish I went sooner!
after an accident, I spent 11 years living in constant agony, with crippling shoulder and back pain, as well as debilitating headaches. Numerous GP visits, hospital visits, X-rays and ultrasound in that time but I was told there was nothing wrong.

Within 5 minutes of my first visit, Stuart could see what was happening, described it perfectly, knew how to help and set me on a path to recovery with a tailored exercise plan. Progress was good and within a few months, my shoulder and back pain had eased, but more importantly, the constant headache had gone. I genuinely thought I’d have to put up with the pain for the rest of my life so am so grateful I found and tried this clinic.

Wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your skill and professional advice over the last few weeks.

I had been in pain for over a year and decided to visit the back and body clinic for a sports therapy massage hoping I would find some relief from my pain. I met laura who listened to me and provided hands on care to relief my pain.

After 1 session she got me moving again and reduced my pain. I have now been working with Laura for a few months, she is excellent. She has been working with me to reduce pain and increase my stability through stretches and exercises. I had back problems for years and she is the best person who has ever worked on my back. I still got a way to go but I am confident that I am in a safe pair of hands. Lovely person, always willing to go that extra mile, professional and always helpful don’t know what I would have done without her.

I can’t rate the back and body clinic highly enough. I’ve seen Helen Southall for 2 different issues in the last 6 months.
She has been excellent in helping me recover from my injuries.

The first was a meniscus tear which was quickly diagnosed along with appropriate physio exercises. The 2nd was to treat a long standing plantar fasciitis issue. Helen recommended the phits footscan service which quickly highlighted why I was suffering. The custom made insoles whilst expensive really work and 6 weeks on, the pain from my plantar fasciitis is less now than it has been for years.

I thoroughly recommend both the footscan tool and Helen

I am really pleased with the positive effect my new orthotic phits have had on my frequent calf muscle tears…

No issues since fitting, I wear my phits all the time and my 6 week review showed my foot profile was improved in this short space of time.

Thoroughly impressed with every element of Back & Body in Great Denham, Bedford.

Mike Mansfield has been first class in sorting out my knee problems. Not only has he helped me get back to running, he’s also educated me on how to avoid repeating the same issues.

Could not recommend Mike enough ! Expert knowledge, re-assuring manner, and great results.

I have been visiting the Back and Body clinic for about 7 weeks. It was recommended to me by my GP after being referred to a Surgeon for possible neck surgery. As a result of physiotherapy I no longer require surgery at present.

All Staff are very friendly receptionist to physiotherapists. My Physiotherapist Luke has been amazing!. His vast knowledge has helped me to understand / manage my condition. The exercises given have improved both my posture and helped to reduce the pins and needles I am having, relieving pressure on my spine. I am thrilled I do not require surgery at present as a result and highly recommend the Back & Body Clinic.
Great Place amazing people! Thank you very much!

Mark Faulkner, Northampton

I’ve been visiting Tommy at Back & Body Clinic after developing an impinged shoulder, with significantly restricted range of movement and pain when I tried to use it freely. Tommy manipulated my shoulder and gave me exercises to perform at home.

There was a significant improvement in range of movement and pain reduction after the first visit, and I have made steady progress over the subsequent 4 visits. I am 100% satisfied with the speed and degree of progress I’ve made. The pain went quite soon and the range of movement has continued to increase and is now very close to that of my good shoulder. Tommy is my first physio, and I find him really positive, friendly and professional. I have total confidence in him, and he’s always a pleasure to visit. I’ve been to both the Wootton and Moulton clinics, and the overall sense of the organisation is friendly professionalism. I’m a very happy client.

Womens Health Physio Pelvic Bladder Incontinence

What is incontinence?

Incontinence is the accidental or involuntary passing of urine. The NHS estimates that 3-6 million people have some degree of incontinence in the UK.

What can I do to help my incontinence or prolapse?

There are many lifestyle changes you can make to help improve your symptoms whilst you are having treatment or waiting for your appointment. Increase your fluid intake to 1.5-2l a day and try to drink mainly water. Caffeine in tea and coffee, fizzy drinks, fruit juices and alcohol can all irritate your bladder, so try […]
