Fitstuff Clinic & Runlab

‘I had tension in my upper back, neck and shoulders for a long time before I went too see Philippa on recommendation from a friend – and I am so glad I went! Philippa quickly identified the problem and suggested this may have been a contributory factor to my recurrent headaches. After only 3 sessions I felt significantly more relaxed and the tenderness and tightness went. Amazingly. I also noticed a reduction in headaches which has made a huge difference to my general well-being day to day. Philippa is extremely professional, knowledgeable and very personable. I would highly recommend anyone to go to Fitstuff clinic. Thank you so much for your help’.

‘Andy was amazing and helped me to marathon PB, including overcoming a longstanding hip problem that had bothered me for many years, and had multiple previous (unsuccessful) physio outcomes. Andy looked at my strength, flexibility, stability and technique,, which meant he could give much more targeted input rather then focusing on one area. Would highly recommend!’

Colin S.

‘I can’t express quite how grateful I am for Philippa! After putting off seeing someone for ages about my back, Philippa swiftly identified the issues and worked absolute magic to get my back feeling like new again! Would recommend to anyone and will not hesitate revisiting should I need to. Thank you Philippa!’.

‘I recently had a sports massage with April to help with a painful knee and trapped nerve. She took time to understand my issues and was very knowledgeable
to pinpoint some areas to help relieve the problem. At the end of the appointment April provided exercises that I could continue at home to help resolve the problem’.

Tom B.

‘I have seen Theika many times over several years with various sports related injuries – plantar fasciitis, shoulder and knee problems. She is always friendly, efficient, thorough and extremely knowledgably. Thank you for all your help’.

Helen W.

‘Philippa has managed to keep an aging rugby player’s body in good enough shape to mean I can’t blame physical issues for my lack at golf and tennis. This is particularly impressive given how often I present with new injuries and recently broken bones (skiing!). She always finds the best way to get me going againg and does so with a smile, even when she knows I don’t manage all the prescribed exercises and always try to return to sport too quickly’.

Stuart O.

‘I was very pleased with the treatment I received at Fitstuff Clinic with April. I was suffering from lower back pain and finding it difficult to move in the mornings. After being assessed and treated by April things have greatly improved. I would highly recommend the clinic to friends and family. April was very professional throughout’.

Kate P.

‘I have been coming to Fitstuff Clinic since 2019 for physio appointments with Thieka 3 or 4 times a year. This included a period when I was recovering from a heart operation. Their service has always been excellent and my fitness and good health now that I am in my 80’s is proof of that!’

Martin C.

‘I had the pleasure of Theika being my physio for my injury recovery, and I can’t praise her enough. Theika’s expertise and dedication were evident throughout our sessions. She tailored a comprehensive recovery plan that only addressed my injury but also helped me regain strength and mobility. Her caring approach made me feel comfortable and motivated. Thanks to Theika, I made remarkable progress and made a full recovery. I highly recommend her for anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate physiotherapist’.

Gareth G.

‘I have had a number of sports related injuries over the last couple of years, as well as a low back problem, and am so thankful that I found Philippa. I find that she not only puts her hands on you and knows exactly where the problem exists but also takes great time and trouble to diagnose the root of the cause.

She also gives a marvellous sports massage when the muscles are simply very tight. Philippa is absolutely brilliant and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has a caring attitude and is very professional, yet always cheerful and happy’.

Sharon S.

‘I’ve been receiving treatment from Phillipa on and off for around twenty years. I’ve needed help with various sports injuries and Phillipa’s depth of knowledge and experience has always lead to comprehensive treatment, with a noticeable difference and improvement each time. The amount of care she invests is second to none, with an understanding that injuries behave differently for everyone. This has meant the treatment I have received has been tailored, with Phillipa making sure it works for me. Phillipa is excellent and you feel confident and supported under her care. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone’.

Amanda F.

‘Philippa is an angel! I have lost count of how many times she has helped me over the last ten years. I have suffered with back and shoulder pain and I know I can count Philippa to sort me out. She is supportive, kind, positive, highly skilled, and the list goes on! I know I would be lost without her and would recommend her to any one!’

Ian B.

‘I’m very grateful to April at Fitstuff who has been working with me through marathon training.

April is highly experienced and knowledgeable and is always extremely thorough in diagnosing any problems. She explains everything very clearly and is unfailingly positive, kind and encouraging.

I would highly recommend sports massage with April especially for runners!’

Jiao Y.

‘Pippa is the best osteopath I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to more than I care to remember! She helped me return to running after a series of injuries including plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis.

Andy C’s running analysis is also excellent, he really helped me to improve my running efficiency and massively reduce strain and injury.

All round I couldn’t recommend Fitstuff clinic more highly.’

Will E.

‘I went with my 16-year-old daughter (we both seen a few physiotherapists lately) and we both came away feeling Andrew was incredibly professional, concise, methodical & trustworthy. Thank you’

Gary D.

‘Don’t think, just go!

The professionalism and knowledge was superior to anywhere else I have tried, and everyone was so friendly. Pip and her team are lovely and I can promise you won’t regret visiting them,’

Nic G.

‘I have known Philippa for nearly 20 years in which time she has without doubt seen me through 20 marathons, 75 half’s and an ultra on the way. Her ability to get to the core of any niggle is game changing. You always leave the appointment with a plan and IF you follow the advice you move on!

However, my advice is to see her before it breaks! A good sports massage on a regular basis will prevent injury and significantly improve performance.’
