Reviews of Colchester Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic

M. L.

Both Craig & Carl were fantastic whilst helping me recover from ACL reconstruction. Getting me back playing football quicker than I could have hoped. Would highly recommend to anyone for any sports related injuries or otherwise

B. C.

First class! Craig diagnosed and treated my sports injury thoroughly and compassionately...and excellent exercise programs with very helpful online video explainers. Highly recommend.

A. Y.

I have just completed a course of physio with Craig regarding a Bursitis in my shoulder. He is extremely kind, understanding and was willing to listen to all my moans and groans! Craig’s knowledge and expertise in diagnosing my problem was excellent. He explained everything clearly in each physio session and it was so helpful to receive follow up exercises on line which helped me continue my rehabilitation. All Covid-19 precautions are undertaken professionally and I felt very safe every visit. Annette is a cheerful, friendly member of the team armed with her temperature monitor as she meets and greets. Thank you Craig for your expertise, kindness and brilliant treatment. You are a Star! I would thoroughly recommend Craig and his team to everyone.

B. 1.

Went to this clinic for the first time as I had a problem with my knee, unsure what it was and Craig was amazing. Told me the problem straight away and set me a 8 week plan. The pain in my knee had been going on for so long I wasnt sure anything was going to work. Within 6 weeks I was pain free walking up the stairs again and after 9ish weeks I was discharged. Completely amazing experience and the receptionists I met were always so friendly as well. Really thankful to you all. (Rebecca S)

I have been to see Craig many times over the years and he is always professional and friendly. His knowledge is outstanding and really understands sports injury. He always does a full analysis and you really feel you get value for money. The new (to me anyway) TrackActive app really helps with the inevitable exercise routine - which in my experience is the hardest part of going to a physio - doing the exercises! The app gives you the exercises with videos and timer built in through each exercise.

D. G.

After being comfortable doing 5k runs I started training for my first half marathon on the 3rd January, on the 5th of February I did serious damage to my left meniscus and after a week of not being able to do stairs and then limping for another I had a consultation with Craig on the 19th February. With only six weeks I thought I had no chance, but he worked out a strengthening and running program which I followed and on my second consultation two weeks later he said I would not need any more consultations. I ran the London landmarks half on 3rd April without so much as twinge. I cannot recommend the clinic and Craig highly enough as I came away feeling inspired and really pleased with the whole experience..

L. C.

I went to Craig initially with a foot injury, that I had seen 3 Podiatrists and an Orthopaedic Surgeon about, but who had not been able to really help me. Craig diagnosed the problem very quickly and offered advice and some physical help, that has seen me well on my way to recovery. I also told him about a problem with my neck and although it not something that can be cured, with his advice and again some physical manipulation, I am now managing the pain a lot better.

A. R.

Started working with Craig on an ankle injury. He took the time to complete a full assessment with me and advise on what support could be offered. Every session I felt listened to and was given exercises to make progress. Absolutely brilliant service, 100% would recommend!

A. N.

Craig was great at identifying the issue with my Achilles and sympathetic to the fact that as a 53 year old i still wanted to play football. after 3 sessions i was back and i am grateful to him and his great admin team. despite covid all ran smoothly. i would recommend him wholeheartedly

J. P.

Craig has helped with an unexpected knee problem, using straightforward exercises that have helped to correct the problem. The care and professionalism is exceptional and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone. The treatment at this time of COVID restrictions has been carefully thought out and the offer of a virtual appointment was gratefully received. Craig sends detailed explanations and videos of the exercises and makes himself available for follow up advice as necessary. Thanks so much!

C. V.

I went to Craig because I had pain in my wrists and elbows while typing on the computer or gaming. After the first session he gave me a set of exercises to do daily on my own time. I was able to see and feel the results quickly. After a few months I have recovered to full strength in my arms. I would 100% recommend Colchester Physiotherapy.

R. T.

After suffering groin pain for the best part of a year, I decided it was time to get some help. I booked an appointment with Craig who diagnosed hip impingement, he demonstrated a group of exercises and watched me perform them. After carrying out theses exercises twice a day for 7 week and 3 physio sessions my pain has gone from a 7/10 down to 1, a couple more weeks and I am pretty sure the pain will be gone completely. I would recommend Craig to anyone with any sort of pain or injury. Great service and friendly staff.

J. L.

I have been fortunate enough to have benefited from Craig’s skill, knowledge and personal care for over 20 years. My family and many of my friends have also been extremely satisfied after I recommended Craig to them. The Practice in my view goes from strength to strength, providing top quality assessment, treatment and all round professional services, even in these extremely difficult times. Paul Langston.

N. B.

I can't recommend Craig and the team highly enough. I've received excellent support following a recent sports injury - from swift injury assessment to immediate treatment and rehab.. The guidance and feedback between visits via the easy to use tracker has been invaluable. I really hadn't expected to be returning to golf & running so soon! Thank you 🙂 👍🏻

C. C.

I started to visit Craig and his team late last year after being referred for a long standing back problem. I immediately felt at ease with Craig due to his calm and attentive approach. Craig would always assess my current state versus progress whilst setting me new challenges that meant I genuinely enjoyed every physio session as I knew I would feel better afterwards without ever feeling that I was at risk of going backwards in my recovery. I can honestly say its the best I have felt in a very very long time and I genuinely feel the skill and knowledge that Craig applied and shared has made me feel so much stronger, fitter but most importantly I'm now in control of my body rather than always feeling the reverse. Thank you so much for everything Craig and thanks to Annette and your team for the fantastic service I received.

a. j.

At the beginning of February I underwent Ankle Arthrodesis and 6 weeks later was basically told by the hospital that I was on my own ! A mutual friend recommended Craig and I'm so pleased she did ! At our first consultation Craig reassured me that the discomfort etc. was quite normal and gave me exercises. My ankle immediately began to feel better and stronger and had continued to do so with his help. Craig is friendly, reassuring and totally professional and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.

G. C.

I have visited Craig on different occasions and every time he has worked his magic after which I have only needed two sessions with him. He is so easy to get on with and has a great sense of humour. I would recommend him to anyone which I have done in the past. I am so pleased that he has moved closer to where I live with parking facilities.

C. N.

Craig has helped me with my lower back disc problem and has worked with me to get me moving again. Craig has been professional and knowledgeable through out working at a pace that has both suited and helped me, taking me with him through the process. I would highly recommend him.

A. &. J. C.

My Husband and I have both visited Craig at the Colchester Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic for separate reasons. On each occasion, Craig has taken time to fully understand our issue and provided us with detailed explanations for what was causing the issue, and steps to prevent recurrence. Craig gave us exercises during our visit with him demonstrating exactly how and why these exercises would benefit us. After our consultation, Craig followed up with an email providing instructions and diagrams of the exercises that he has shown us. We are both highly impressed with Craig’s knowledge and calm and professional approach. Our issues were soon resolved after following his advice. Craig is the only Physio that we’ll ever need – and we have already recommended him to friends. Thanks for all your help Craig!

M. W.

Craig was super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly during my first consultation about a running injury. He provided me with lots of detail and a solid plan to work towards to strengthen my ankle and recover, I’m looking forward to our next session. Would definitely recommend ☺️

A. O.

During the pandemic I have needed Craig’s assistance to remedy problems with my back, neck and hands. I have felt entirely safe with the Corvid precautions taken & the treatment has been successful. If the problems return or I damage something else I would be entirely happen to return to Craig & would also recommend him & his practice to anybody else requiring physiotherapy at this time.

K. G.

A flare up of a pre-existing knee injury led me to Colchester Physiotherapy. Craig has been professional and thorough in my two consultations. I feel supported, with a plan to address and resolve my symptoms. Receptionist Annette is efficient and responds promptly to enquiries. I would highly recommend the Practice.

A. W.

I cant thank Craig enough :) After 18 months+ of persistent shoulder pain and 2 other physios trying to help, after just 2 sessions I felt normal again. He quickly identified the problem and gave me suitable exercises to correct it. Completely COVID safe with full PPE in use. I will not hesitate to use him again if another injury arises, highly recommended. Thank you.

M. C.

Craig was brilliant, he has helped me strengthen my knee after a quadriceps muscle tear, he explains things in a simple manner, gives me an update on the strength measurements of my legs and gives you the confidence to get going again. It is also great being able to get seen on a Saturday.

k. f.

I had excellent treatment here. Craig was kind , thoughtful and obviously very experienced/knowledgeable. With treatments and exercises I can now sit down again without pain. Thanks so much Craig!

M. S.

Craig is one of the most highly qualified and skilled physiotherapists in the sports and rehabilitation sectors that you will find globally. I highly recommend him and have enormous faith in his ability to assist healing to occur in the body. A Brilliant and caring practitioner who is enormously professional. 10/10.

D. W.

Excellent service and very friendly. Craig is very knowledgeable. I first saw Craig some years ago following a motor racing accident. I improved very quickly with Craig's help. More recently I have had a problem with my arm and already it is much improved.

j. T.

I have just completed a course of physio with Craig who was very professional and knowledgable regarding my knee problem. I felt very confident attending sessions face to face as all precautions were taken regarding Covid. I received clear instructions of various exercises to help me, all of which were online for reference afterwards which helped greatly. I now have much more mobility and less pain and can enjoy long walks again, thank you Craig. K.Todd

K. F.

Wear and tear to my legs and back have caused me to visit Craig on a number of occasions. He has helped me recover from some of the ailments whilst treatment for others is still on-going. I would heartily recommend him to anyone in need of a physio

I. H.

I went to see Craig for my lower back, he was recommended to me by my friend, she was absolutely right when she said he was “the best around”! After only two sessions I am able to run again without any pain in my back. Craig videoed me on the running machine and analysed my running style. It showed that I was running okay but had muscle weakness in abs and quads. Craig developed a strengthening exercise program for me that I have been doing religiously! I can’t thank Craig enough for his help and expert advice. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, thank you Craig.

L. G.

Can't recommend Craig highly enough; I have had a lot of physio treatment over a number of years and certainly he has been the most proactive in terms of providing self help tips to avoid having long term expensive treatment. Would recommend without hesitation.

E. B.

Have been a patient here for a number of years. Craig has treated me on several occasions and has always understood the importance for me of getting back to sport. Highly professional and knowledgable, I have even had a back complaint diagnosed and successfully treated via Skype during lockdown. Would definitely recommend this practice to anyone needing a physiotherapist.

C. B.

Craig is the only physio to have sorted my back in all my life! He also diagnosed on video chat during COVID my BPPV (vertigo) after straining my shoulders with weights, and led to my complete cure within a week. He has been invaluable to me these past three years.

S. S.

Superb, friendly service. Craig took me through several weeks of physio for my damaged knee and got me running again. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

M. T.

Intensive sport, sedentary occupation and age = pain. Fortunately Craig and his team have been on hand to sort out my back, then my knee, then my kneck... Whatever comes next I will be back again as their expertise has got me back up and running every time. Thoroughly recommend anyone check out limb and joint pain with Craig

M. D.

After straining my achilles tendon on my right leg whilst holidaying in the UK I was fortunate to be treated by Craig and was able to finish our holiday with less pain and more mobility. His attention to detail was unquestionable. The exercise regime he advised was certainly very helpful . I would have no hesitation to recommend Craig to anyone who required Physio treatment. Mary Dickens NZ.

Thanks to Craig the pain in my feet, (plantar fasciitis) has gone, having been suffering from this condition for many years. The treatment was 1st class and the follow up exercises should keep me trouble free for a long time to come. The whole practice offers an all round positive experience, especially with all the coronavirus restrictions.

H. D.

Great clinic and helped a lot with my shin pain when running. Video analysis of my running was really useful and with a few subtle modifications and strengthening exercises I am now running pain free. Many thanks to Craig and the team.

B. C.

Just had my second problem solved by Craig. First time a football injury and this time my rotator cuff . The latest injury was more complex but through hand on treatment, exercises and encouragement I am now back on track. Highly recommend.

Alasdair Jones, I need to thank you for making my life better again... For once the pain in my partners neck was not me, and I know she needed an expert to help sort the issue. After a few sessions you had found the problem, and helped her body adjust and recover. The relief for us all huge; my children are being feed and feel loved again, the dog is being walked, and I am back to being the biggest pain in her life. Normality restored. Highly recommended!

Now stop reading this and get down there =D!!

G. P.

Can not recommend enough! On my first visit I could barely walk and now, a few months later, I have a back to running plan and no more pain. Alasdair and the team are all so friendly, and it was sad not to have to make another appointment today. Thank you so much Alasdair.
