The Covid Pandemic turned life upside down, being unable to treat patients I suddenly had more time on my hands than I had in years. In addition to the obligatory DIY and baking copious cakes I thought I should try to keep fit, so I decided to try my colleague Georgie’s online Pilates classes, well I loved them and Georgie’s clear, encouraging teaching style. The focus, the concentration, the ability to progress the exercises and work at a level which suited me, I felt I was getting a safe full body workout which was still really challenging.
So how has my progress been going, the honest answer – non existent! I felt it was really important to write this article as fundamentally there is one key message…
Dark days and Christmas have certainly presented a challenge for the early starts, but given that we have been able to remain open throughout Lockdown, I have been able to have treatment and start my rehabilitation for a number of the key areas identified by the screens.
Testimonials
I have seen Joe Lancaster now on a number of times and find him to be extremely professional but more importantly clear in what he is doing and how I can also help manage my condition.
I would highly recommend Joe and the Health Hub to anyone looking for a Chiropractor.
Came to see Martin to with shoulder issues, terrible posture, neck problems, lower back/quads/hamstring issues and major muscle imbalance. All this was causing me to be in pain after every gym session, after playing with my son or when even when doing daily activities.
I had been putting off seeing someone for years and I wish I had come to see him sooner.
After the first appointment I came out of there feeling amazing and after all sessions I now have no pain whatsoever and my posture is getting so much better as Martin has also given me the knowledge to continue my progress and stop these issues from returning.
Honestly can’t thank him enough, he has helped me so so much and basically given me a new lease of life!
I am constantly recommending my family and friends to go and see him!
First impressions count – someone actually answered the telephone promptly when I called! No mind-numbing “music” on hold, no choice of numbers to select before being cut off.
Very efficient reception, relaxed atmosphere and large, well-equipped practice room. My therapist, Georgie, was proficient, professional and personable. Impressed from start to finish.
A hugely professional team. Recently I broke my shoulder and, as no NHS support was forthcoming, I booked in for physio with Kirk. The medical acupuncture and the exercises that Kirk gave me have been transformational in my recovery.
So pleased to have found The Health Hub, the hub has a great atmosphere and is very welcoming. I started seeing Sam first for Chiropractic treatment and now I am having Acupuncture with Kirk and I am very pleased with the treatment so far. I would recommend the The Health Hub to my friends.
My first experience at The Health Hub was wonderful from the moment I stepped through the door. The staff are all extremely kind and relaxed and can’t do enough to help. I look forward to my next appointment which I am sure will speedily put me right. I rate them exceptional!
After having knee surgery over 2 months ago and my 6 week follow up appointment with my surgeon delayed by an overall 16 weeks, I have been very worried about my recovery progress and unclear on what I should or shouldn’t do to improve recovery. I didn’t want to do anything that would delay or ruin my chances of returning to sports and fitness, so I decided to try physio.
I have now seen Martin Ratcliffe at the Health Hub for 3 sessions now and not only have I noticed a positive difference in the range of motion in my knee and the pain tolerance in weight bearing, but also my confidence in moving about my daily life. He’s reassured me of any concerns I’ve had, provided a thorough exercise plan and has really helped get the movement in the knee back on track.
I really appreciate the help I’ve received in his sessions and I’m confident I wouldn’t be recovering as fast as I am if it wasn’t for him. Thanks Martin!!
Excellent experience. I have benefitted from Kirk’s experience and knowledge in treating tendonitis and recover muscle strenght and mobility. Highly recommended.
Just wanted to say a big thank you to Kirk for all his help throughout my rehab over the past few weeks. Struggling with a complicated groin strain, the soft tissue work combined with acupuncture and variety of exercises has got me feeling great again. One of the biggest compliments I can pay to Kirk was his ability to pick me up when I was feeling down and get me to see the positives and that I was making improvements. Would recommend to all.
