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.
We wanted to take this opportunity to introduce each of our Physiotherapists and their areas of speciality
Testimonials
State of the art new practice, with fantastic treatment rooms and highly skilled staff. Sam Pargeter treated my back and has made a huge difference. Highly recommended.
I’ve been seeing Sam and Georgie for lower back and SI joint pain, and they’ve completely changed the way I understand and look at the cause of my issue. I really needed that new perspective — understanding the why behind the pain is so important to me! We’ve started working on correcting things, and even just a week in, the difference is incredible. Thank you to the whole Health Hub team — I couldn’t recommend them enough!
I damaged my knee during the first game of cricket this season, Due to my lack of warming up and little exercise for the previous 6 months, the knee have lost its tone.
I was in crippling pain and could hardly bend it past 90 degrees.
It was suggested that I make an appointment with Martin.
From Martins bio, I could see that he was competent with sports injuries. Martin analysed the knee, prodded it, bent it and stretched it.
He informed me what damaged had occurred and what tissues were still OK.
After a deep knee massage, he asked me if I would like some acupuncture. This treatment was new to me and I was initially hesitant. Martin suggested that the needles would stimulate the healing process so I agreed. The sensation was strange but not too unpleasant.
I was given an exercise plan and agreed to return.
After three sessions, my knee was over 95% healed, I could hop on it and bend it as far as the undamaged knee.
Martin was very professional and I would be happy to recommend him to anybody with a knee injury.
Thank you for sorting out my knee.
I have had a wonderful sports massage from Claire Jonas. If you havent seen her before you should treat yourself. You won’t regret it.
I had my first treatment at The Health Hub recently – an Indian head massage with Tanya – and it was honestly one of the best massage therapies I’ve ever had. Tanya is so attentive and knowledgeable, and took time to understand what I was looking for. I felt completely renewed and relaxed afterwards. I will definitely be returning and would recommend Tanya and the Health Hub to anyone.
Highly recommended to anyone. Kirk was amazing not only knowledgable and encouraging when I felt super deflated but he took the time to create the best rehab plan for me. I injured my knee 12 weeks before my wedding and I thought I’d never be in a place to dance/ walk in heels in time but we did it so thank you!!!!
Visiting the team at The Health Hub is always a positive experience. Over 2-3 years, I have been treated by 3 different members of the team, with different specialties and I have felt totally at ease. All of the staff are friendly and approachable but very professional too and I feel the benefit after each visit.
I highly recommend the Health Hub – very friendly reception staff, lovely rooms with quality equipment and brilliant practitioners. I’ve seen Martin for physio to aid recovery from a torn ACL, and Sam for a Chiropractor appointment for neck/back pain. Both of them are excellent, and Sam sorted my very uncomfortable back issue in just one session. Well worth the money.
A fantastic sports massage by Claire! A first for me but certainly not the last. This is a game changer if you are in to hitting the gym hard! Highly recommend Claire, she helps you feel at ease if it’s your first time and if your not sure what to expect (this is not a casual massage, this is the real deal) as you can see from her profile she has lots of experience and is very professional.
