Had 5/6 sessions for ankle/plantar fascia problems. The sessions were very informative and built up a better understanding of why and how the issue had occurred. The exercises were simple to begin with but varied and we developed into more difficult exercises to really test and develop my foot and ankle. The improvement I noticed in short space of time was brilliant and now it's just about managing the long term. From never having physio in the past, the treatment has been excellent and I would definitely go back to Darren in the future, if needed.

Really brilliant experience. I went to Darren with some run/cycle induced- calf pain. He did a very thorough test of strength in my leg/feet muscles and identified my weaknesses which are likely leading to calf aggravation when I run. He wrote up a detailed strength plan and then slowly talked each exercise through in the gym next door and gave me a chance to try them. Darren gave me time to describe my past and current training and triathlon events planned and took that into consideration when writing the plan. I would highly recommend!

I first came to see Darren in Pro Health Physio in February with an injury I suffered while training for a marathon which I feared I wouldn’t be able to participate in with the injury, but Darren was able to quickly diagnose the issue and provide treatment and exercises while encouraging me to continue to train as the injury wouldn’t prevent this. Over time this injury reduced and was no longer impacting my training. A few weeks later I suffered a separate injury to my Achilles, just over a week before my marathon. Darren was flexible in fitting me in and again providing exercises which helped this injury to quickly recover in time. Unfortunately I suffered a separate injury during the marathon but had no re-occurrence of the Achilles issue. I had another race the following week and felt I wouldn’t be able to take part due to the injury but Darren once again fit me in and attempted to diagnose a strange injury , while also encouraging me to try running on it which I wouldn’t have thought possible. This run and his treatment seemed to heal the issue quite quickly and I went from struggling to walk to completing my second event within the week. I’d highly recommend going to see Darren with any issues. He’s excellent at explaining the issues and what causes them, as well as how treatment will fix them. He never once panicked and therefore he calmed my worries about not being able to complete my events. Thanks Darren!

From the initial assessment, in quite a lot of pain, through a carefully tailored programme to full recovery, the support has been absolutely tip top. With bags of reassurance and the utmost professionalism at every step I can not thank Darren enough for getting me back to my adventures. Works 100% of the time every time.

Darren has been such a great help with diagnosing and fixing my shoulder injury. He’s so knowledgeable and was really helpful with explaining everything in a way I could understand. The movements I was shown to take away and do myself have made such a difference, and I am thankful for all the help to get back to normal again.
