Reviews of CT Clinic - Chronic Pain Specialist

I came to CT clinic with very painful upper back and neck pain and also suffering with medium discomfort in my wrist from a fracture I had suffered 10 years ago. When the pain was bad in my neck and upper back, I couldn’t do anything, the pain had affected my daily life and work as I sit at a desk all day and have to do a lot of typing that affects my posture. In the last 2 years priory to coming to CT Clinic, the pain in upper back and neck increased and was casuing me a lot discomfort and frustration especially since the pain was there constantly 24hrs a day. On my better days the neck and upper back pain was 6 out of 10 which was bad but on most of days the pain was 10 out of 10. It just made me feel terrible on a day-to-day basis, and I lost the faith that at any point I would be able to be pain-free. I mentioned these to my friend who recommanded me seeing Ammar at CT clinic. I went to the CT clinic to meet with Ammar and expained my issues. Ammar was very confident he can help and offered to see him for some sessions. After just 10 sessions with Ammar, I was completely pain-free. Ammar was assessing the neck and upper back pain each week and each time the pain took longer and longer to come back after the session. I was discharged after finishing my sessions but I went back after one month. I had been cured, I had no pain despite working long hours the pain did not come back. I am delighted with the treatment I have received from Mr Sawaf and with his new methodology of COPA therapy. Ammar, you brought the joy back to my life I cannot thank you enough.

I originally started coming to CT clinic a few months ago with reoccurring upper back / neck pain that had been ongoing for around 2 years, I had seen various other physios / sport therapists to no avail. However, after my sessions with Ammar at CT clinic I now no longer have any issues and it started to feel better from the first session. Ammar has also improved my scoliosis considerably using COPA therapy, something I was told I would always have to live with. Absolutely amazing!
I also recently started attending again due to a pain in my upper hamstring. Being a professional dancer I feel I have not always been taken seriously with pain / injuries however Ammar is very understanding and always gets to the root of the problem. I can feel the pain in my upper leg easing already after a few sessions. Also extremely accommodating with appointments as I have a difficult schedule being in and out of the country for work, Ammar will always manage to fit me in when needed which I greatly appreciate. Really the best place to go to if you suffer with chronic / long-standing pain or sport injuries. You are in the best hands here.

I’ve been struggling with chronic pain in my shoulder, upper back and neck for as long as I can remember, easily 12 years or more. I’ve been to various practitioners of sports massage, acupuncture, osteopaths and physios. Nothing worked. The best solution I found was having an hours sports massage weekly, which wasn’t cost effective at £40 per week, and something that wasn’t sustainable from a time point of view too. As soon as I stopped having treatment, the pain came back. I resigned myself to just assuming that it was a problem that would never be fixed. Even specialists would say that I would just have to learn to live with the pain as my problem would never go. This was the same response with everyone I saw, which was easily 12 or more. As I have a very active job teaching dance, the pain wasn’t ideal as it impacted on my every day life and work life too. Then I found COPA therapy.
After the first session I noticed a huge difference, which is something I would only have seen after 4-5 weeks of weekly sessions elsewhere. By week 3, I was 80% improved, by session 4 I’m just gutted I didn’t find Ammar sooner.

I originally went to CT Clinic for pain in my neck that was getting worse and causing me headaches, the headache stopped after the first session and the pain was gone after the second session. I then mentioned to Ammar about long-term lower back pain that I had become resigned to, I had got used to the consistent pain and frequent flare ups, 7 years ago the physio had told me it was just something that would always be there. Previously the pain and fear of further pain had made me hesitant in the way I exercise. Ammar used COPA therapy to tackle years of tightness in my lower back muscles, after a few sessions I could see the difference when I went out hiking. I could feel continuous improvement with each session and Ammar built up my confidence to attempt gym exercises I’d previously avoided in fear of doing further damage. I wish I had known earlier that didn’t need to just accept and live with pain.

After my previous therapist worsened my shoulder injury, leaving me with a lot of excruciating pain that lasted weeks and many sleep deprived nights, I came to CTClinic as it came highly recommended and of course seeing all of the positive reviews. After Ammar's kind introduction, he immediately located all the problem areas. You see the issue wasn't exactly my shoulder, it was my stiff back after years of sitting in a slouched position, fatigue and tension had begun building up causing surround muscles to tighten up also. After a single workout my body suddenly felt extreme pain and the next day, I could barely move my neck. The pain would travel from my shoulder blades all the way down to my finger tips, any form of stretching would end up inflaming these areas. The cherry on top was that I couldn't do a single pushup and my muscles on the right side went into atrophy. I'm quite athletic so before my injury I was able to do 30. After only two sessions of COPA therapy, my shoulder pain reduced significantly and I no longer had issues with sleep. We continued working throughout the back as we suspected this may have been caused by a pinched nerve in my spine.
Initially, even with a delicate touch; the pain was so severe in almost every part of my back. However with time, even with Ammar's Hulk-like build pressing full force on the original areas of focus, the pain was almost completely gone, we could even chit chat during the procedure as opposed to my constant groaning in the first few sessions. Ammar is very well mannered and fun to talk to, always giving advice and never imposing. Arguably, one of the best forms of physical therapy he gave was the ones outside of the clinic i.e. maintaining good posture, small purchases like a laptop stand for your neck or even the correct way to sleep just to name a few. All of which started haunting me when I did not implement them and the pain started to creep back. I came with shoulder and back pain and left with a healthy body and a friend. And to top things off, not only can I do my 30 pushups again, I'm also pushing 100KG on the bench press 7 months later. 10/10

I’d been suffering from pain and discomfort in my neck area for about two years before contacting CT clinic. Although I never had severe pain at any point, it constantly made me uncomfortable. I couldn’t even work efficiently because the neck pain/discomfort bothered me at work. It was a problem even when I was doing normal activities like playing football or reading. I tried different painkillers and ointments but none of them got rid of it. Immediately after my first appointment with CT, I knew I made the right decision. With Dr Ammar’s stretching tips and COPA therapy skills, my neck pain/discomfort had mitigated significantly after my 3rd visit.
I couldn’t believe how effective Dr Ammar’s method was. I asked him how he was able to tackle the exact issues I have in such a short period and his answer was “21 years of experience”, which completely makes sense. I’m certain that within my next few visits, the neck pain will be a thing of the past and will be able to do all my work and daily activities without any pain. Dr Ammar is the perfect chronic pain specialist for anyone suffering from any type of muscle or joint pains. Give CT Clinic a chance and you’ll be glad you did.

I went to CT Clinic with a couple of issues I was having on my left shoulder for 3-4 months. Specifically, there was a clicking noise when lifting my arm upwards to the point where my elbow would go above shoulder level. When doing so without any weights or resistance, it would just feel akward, but when doing so with light weights or resistance it was causing discomfort. Furthermore, when pushing either forward (like doing push-ups) or bringing the hands from side to front (like doing a pec-fly), my rear delt on the same shoulder was flaring up in a painful manner.
I was examined during the first session by Ammar on not just those movements and pain, but also on various other movements of the arms and shoulders. I was then given explanations as to what methodology was going to be used (in plain english, deep tissue massage and acupuncture) with the aim of fixing the issue as quickly as possible in a permanent manner. Additionally, I was given instructions for a series of stretches to perform on regular intervals during the day on a daily basis in order to maintain the benefits of the treatment.
Within 4 sessions, including the one for the initial examination, both of the issues I had were completely gone - both the clicking noise and the pain of the rear delt. I am completely satisfied with the treatment I received at CT Clinic and I would happily recommend it to anyone that has similar issues.

Attended last week for a consultation and treatment with Fran. The consultation was very thorough and gave insight into reasoning behind my shoulder and upper back pain. The treatment lasted around an hour and was focused on key areas I had been experiencing issues and transferable discomforts. Fran was excellent and explained step by step each stage of the treatment. My upper back pain is significantly better and my sleeping pattern has improved. I can now get back to doing the activities I enjoy in life. I've tried many massage places and deep tissue massages but CT clinic really actually tackled the issues I was facing and gave some real solutions to ensure I have a good solid recovery and long term positive result. Thanks again Fran. Highly recommended. Clarissa.

I had been struggling with mid-upper back pain for over ten years and was look for a specialist that could provide more permanent relief. Having read the reviews I decided to give Amar a try at the CT Clinic. He had no appointments that day however stayed an hour later to accommodate me giving the severity of my pain. After one session the pain had gone and I have returned several times to keep on top of it. I would highly recommend Amar and his COPA Therapy techniques. You are in safe hands at the CT Clinic! Mike

Been seeing ammar now for a few weeks and I honestly can say this man and this treatment has literally give me my life back I've suffered with chronic back pain for 2 and a half years and didn't see an end to it with multiple doctors telling me there's nothing that can be done to help me. No pain killer would make the pain settle. I was in a dark place mentally with this pain and couldn't see a way out.also my physical health has improved also by 85% my lower back pain has almost gone completely. I was on allsorts of medication naproxen, zapain, pregabalin and nothing worked Until I met ammar I'm 80% better and I feel happy once again thanks to this man and his treatment I haven't even finished my sessions with him yet but to be feeling a great relief so far I know ammar can get me to 100%. He made me realise that my posture is rubbish so I've made a massive improvement with that and my upper back pain has eased aswell aslong side treatment. This man is amazing !! If your in severe pain and have been told basically to deal with it get down to CT clinic and let ammar work his magic. You won't be disappointed. Thank you ammar for literally saving my life.

I had been suffering progressively worse problems with arthritis in both knees, the end result being constant pain, difficulty in walking and being unable to sleep properly. I was recommended to Ammar at CT Clinic by my brother who had broken his back. My brother was delighted with the results so I went to see Ammar prior to having a full knee replacement. The objective prior to surgery was to strengthen the knee and reduce the pain which was achieved. Then post operation I really was in agony, taking lots of pain killers and not sleeping for more than an hour at a time which was soul destroying.
Ammar's treatment has worked wonders and has made a huge difference to my recovery. Thoroughly recommended.

I suffered from pain in my shoulders for 5 years, I wasn’t able to use my arms well at all. I tried to control the pain with steroid injections every year or so, but the pain was still there in both shoulders, I felt my left arm was useless!
This became difficult with my job being a senior healthcare assistant. The pain was affecting my sleep; at night time I was in agony. I would take at least 30 minutes to get dressed, mainly because I was unable to move my left hand.
I went to three physiotherapists, two of which were private, who were unable to help. I was given exercises and still did not feel any benefit. I had an MRI for the left shoulder again and the surgeon and the physiotherapist said because the MRI scan showed a muscle tear on the shoulder muscle, they couldn’t do anything and that it will heal after time. I didn’t heal which is when I started the steroid injections. I completed the exercises that were given to me and also got gentle massages on the shoulders, but it just did nothing to cure my pain.
Eventually, I got to a point where I lost my range of movement in my arm by about 80%. I just couldn’t use my arm whatsoever. I had lost hope to find someone who would help me. But then I came across CT Clinic, and I read about Ammar’s new methodology which breaks down pain into muscle stiffness so I decided to book an appointment.
After the first session, the pain was 80% better and my range of movement was fully back. I was shocked and extremely happy I couldn’t take the smile from my face! Now I can sleep at night, enjoy work again, and I have full use of both arms and no pain. I can now do the things I had given up due to my pain such as table tennis!
Thank you so much Ammar you have changed my life!

I came to CT Clinic after 2.5 years of neck pain. I had tried 2 physios and 1 chiro and thought that my neck could not be fixed. After only one session with Ammar my neck pain was 80% gone, and having had 8 sessions to date, I am pain free in my day to day life which is amazing. I would recommend this clinic above anywhere else.

I went to CT Clinic for my shoulder that I had injured during the England lacrosse trial. I was experiencing a lot of pain during my training sessions and was affecting my progress significantly. It had got to the point where my shoulder was hindering a lot of my daily activities and was seriously affecting my love for my sport and exercise in general.
I was recommended to go to CT Clinic by a family member and during the first session, Mr Sawaf’s insight had debunked many misconceptions that I had developed in the fitness community (despite playing amongst some of the best lacrosse athletes in the country). I saw significant improvement after an hour of seeing him and alleviated a lot of pai , with full range of motion in my affect shoulder. I thought the root cause of my injury stemmed from muscle weakness, but Mr Sawaf identified that it was muscle TIGHTNESS and treated it with deep tissue therapy.
After only a few sessions, I am completely pain free, able to play full matches unimpeded and my shoulder has never felt better. Mr Sawaf not only treated my injury, but completely changed my mindset towards my style of training and educated me a lot on injury prevention.
I could not have asked for a better service from a very polite and knowledgeable individual. I am very grateful for his help and would recommend him to everyone.

Before coming to the CT Clinic I had constant neck and upper back pain, both in the morning and in the evening I felt a numbness and pinching sensation in certain muscles. It started to affect my sleep and work. After receiving COPA therapy my muscle tightness has been relieved and my pain has gone from a 10 to a 0.
Many thanks Ammar.
Would recommend.

Before seeing Amman. I had pain in the neck, upper back, shoulder and upper arms. The pain was so bad I could not sleep and even pain killers did very little to numb the pain. The only way I could get any sleep was sitting on a chair and even then it was in short bursts of an hour at a time. Amman was great. He's very friendly and easy to talk too. After two sessions I could already see the benefits and was able to sleep in the bed again. Highly recommend if your suffering from sever pain.

I have suffered from neck and shoulder pain for years and tried many different treatments. The COPA therapy Ammar did made the most difference and the pain has significantly reduced after six sessions. He is so good that I have asked my husband who has been suffering from chronic lower back pain to book with Ammar.
R. D.
I pulled my back, this made me unable to walk without crutches, I couldn't even stand up straight at all, after just 1 session and a few days of rest and doing exercises that Ammar told me to do, I was walking straight.
Then a few more sessions with Ammar I'm back to my normal self.
Ammar also gave me exercises for me to do, as I'm recovering from a broken leg,
No charge, thats what type of guy he is, thank you my friend.
With the Copa Therapy it helped me recovery properly, the deep massage to my lower back definitely beneficial after a couple of days rest.

As a full time dentist, I started to experience posture related pain in my neck and back very early on in my career. Within a few years, the pain became quite extreme, and was accompanied by debilitating migraines. Often I would arrive home from work and the pain was so severe, I would have to go and lie down straightaway to try and let it ease.
I could no longer drive long distances as my neck would hurt, and invariably I would get a migraine. This began to affect my career as quite often I would travel to other parts of the country for courses and lectures, but I found myself hesitant to book onto these events for fear of being in pain all day upon arrival.
Over the first 15 years of my career, I visited various practitioners in the Manchester/Cheshire, including three different physiotherapists, two osteopaths, a chiropracter, and one chap who described himself as an 'osteomyologist'.
Pretty much all of them were of very limited use, with only one of the physiotherapists being able to give me temporary relief from my symptoms. As a healthcare practitioner myself, the communication, diagnosis and actual interventions provided by these practitioners fell way short of my expectations. And the bottom line is, I spent a lot of money with them but was still in a lot of pain on a daily basis.
In 2020, after the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, despite not having worked for a few months due to the restrictions, I found myself with quite severe back pain. My body felt broken where even the slightest exertions around the house were capable of causing full blown pain and discomfort.
Enough was enough and I decided to visit Ammar at CT clinic on the recommendation of a friend.
I was immediately impressed with his examination, communication and diagnosis. It was certainly a cut above the other practitioners I had previously visited. Suffice to say, Ammar made a huge difference to the pain levels and I have been a regular patient of his ever since.
Ammar uses a unique method he calls "COPA Therapy", and it has certainly been more beneficial than any previous approaches practitioners have used on me. It is very hands-on and gets to the root of the problem, in stark contrast to the wishy-washy stretches I was given by the osteopaths for example.
It is no exaggeration to say that the effects of the treatment have been life changing for me. Long surgical sessions, long drives, lifting heavy weights at the gym are just a few of the things I hadn't been able to enjoy without pain for many years. I am now enjoying life like I did in my early 20's!!
Ammar, thank you, and may you continue to change lives through your fantastic work at CT Clinic.

I've recently had lower back pain so I attended CT Clinic and had a consultation with Francesca and Ammar. The whole experience from start to finish was brilliant and they both talked me through everything and what procedure they would be undertaking. Francesca got deep into my back muscles and found the problem area and then also put some focus on easing my tight glute muscles. I would highly recommend this clinic not only for their skill and professionalism but because of their informatative and friendly approach with the main focus on achieving full resolution of symptoms. Be sure to get yourself booked in...you will not regret it. Thank you Ammar and Francesca 😊

I’m 26 years old and only recently I got to know about the CT Clinic and COPA therapy by a friend. I have had chronic pain history for over 15 years, down the road I just accepted the pain and went along with my business with really poor health. I have had severe migraine (magnitude varying from 7-10) for as long as I remember with symptoms of non-stop vomiting and horrible neck cramping, I have had times where I would end up in the hospital because I couldn’t lift my head up, I completed my dentistry with this pain and it was one of the hardest things I have done, my health was so unstable that I had to keep on top my Studies Incase my health deteriorated while exam season!
When I heard about Mr. Ammar I was already on treatment for my migraine for 3 years, I have a neurophysian dealing with my case, I have had to take antidepressants, valproic acid, topiramate and so many other combinations of medicine to control it but even then I wasn’t migraine free.
My first session with COPA treatment was a month or so back and it was painful considering my neck and upper back had under gone through so much abuse, during my session Mr. Ammar guided me about what I’m doing wrong and emphasised on how important posture is, I was very motivated to get better and I followed all of his guidelines, the stretches he told me, his YouTube page, the diet he told me I should keep and importance of sleeping posture. As I got my weekly sessions religiously, I saw such a vast improvement in my posture, my health and even a decrease in my frequency of migraine! And to me this was nothing less than a miracle! From having 4 attacks of migraine in a week it lessened to one attack and then slowly as the weeks passed there was a time where I was totally migraine free! This was such an accomplishment for me. I took even more care about the dos and don’t for my posture.
Yes, it’s an expensive treatment and I can understand why some of you would be reluctant to get it done but before anything else, health matters, you can’t enjoy life fully if you’re not well most of the time, I was taking anti depressants as a prophylactic treatment for my migraine and during my treatment I started tapering down the dose and I can tell you now that I am thankfully better and I don’t have necks cramps or migraines of the same frequency
Whenever I do feel like my neck is sore I do my stretches through out the day because they are so easy to do! So with a 15 year chronic pain history and an optimistic mind with the right guidance, I have come this far ahead regarding my health!
I would honestly urge everyone to atleast give this treatment a go! It works wonders!
All I can say is a huge thank you to Mr Ammar for his guidance and his work because I am finally pain free compared to what I was before!

I went to see Francesca with tight lower back and pain i've been having for a long time, she dealt with the pain and was very knowledgeable on what the causes were. I gym a lot so i have a lot of pain and niggles and Francesca made my lower back feel so much better just after 1 treatment. Its nice to know now that I am in good hands and can keep training for my marathon and gym.

My husband was suffering with back and leg pain for years after he had a slipped disc in 2017.. he had been constantly on strong addictive pain medication and suffering on a daily basis. We found this clinic and it has definitely made such a positive difference for him. He is now completely off all pain medications and is managing his pain much better through regular appointments with his physician Ammar. He has given my husband such a needed source of support both through the physical help but also mental support in dealing with his pain. Can’t recommend him enough! My husband doesn’t complain of back pain anymore and always feels much better after seeing Ammar. Thank you CT Clinic!

I suffered from sever lower back pain around October 2019 which propagated to my right leg and I faced difficulties walking. The back pain was extraordinary and the tingling pain in my feet was unbearable. I was diagnosed to be suffering from a bulging disc. The options the doctor gave me are physiotherapy, injections or surgery. This is a life changing experience and I was struggling to do my job. I attended around 8 sessions of physiotherapy but the pain would not go away. My friend who witnessed the pain I was experiencing started searching online for possible treatments and found CT clinic. I spoke to Ammar in September 2020 explaining my medical condition and he suggested for me to perform the lower back stretches posted on the CT clinic YouTube channel. After two weeks I noticed a huge improvement so I decided to commute from London to Manchester to start the COPA therapy treatment. Its a long trip but was definitely worth it. I felt pain level decreasing after each session. Ammar is very knowledgeable and explained the treatment process very well. I completed 5 sessions and for each session I had to commute from London. I highly recommend CT clinic and thank Ammar for helping me overcome the pain level I suffered from.

Last year I was i considerable pain with my right knee after seeking advice from my doctor I was sent to a local physio who just briefly looked at my knee and gave me a set of exercises to do as they felt the muscle round the knee was weak. After 10 weeks of this and regular trips back to the physio there was no improvement in fact the pain was worse. It came to a head when on a trip out with my Grandchildren last September I literally could not walk more than 50 yards without extreme pain. A friend who lives in Manchester recommended CT Clinic and gave me their contact details. As I have a business in Manchester it was straightforward for me to visit. I met with Ammar who immediately said I did not need any surgery and explained what the problem was with tightness of the muscles in my leg pulling the knee joint together rubbing bone on bone. I had 11 sessions with him and he used the COPA therapy which is a unique technique to treat my knee. I have not visited him for 3 months now and I can honestly say the difference is amazing. I can now play golf again and walk the full 18 holes. I can walk long distances again and I cycle 6 days a week. I would not hesitate to recommend Ammar and CT Clinic for the amazing job he did. Just for extra information after the physio sessions finished in my local town last year the consultant said he would make an appointment for a CT Scan as he was not sure of the problem. I am still waiting for the appointment in June 2020.

CT Clinic fixed a shoulder problem that had been causing me pain for about 6 months. I was feeling pain every day and it was disrupting my sleep. Ammar quickly identified I had a bad rotator cuff injury and after just 4 sessions with Ammar I am much better and he has properly sorted my injury. I hadn’t heard of COPA therapy, but it made sense to me and was easy because I only had to visit one place for one session each week, so it was much better than seeing a Physio and Osteopath or Chiropractor separately and to be honest I wouldn’t know which specialist I would have needed and when. I would highly recommend anyone with a problem pain to speak to Ammar and visit the CT Clinic.

I've suffered long term neck and shoulder problems for many years but just recently it has become much worse, restricting movement so much that driving was proving a challenge. My GP hadn't taken me seriously so I put up with it. After 10 minutes of attention from Ammar, the movement in my neck returned and now days later I am still enjoying freedom of movement - I can actually turn my head to the right without having to move my whole body. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending CT Clinic - don't put up with pain, when a solution might only be a few minutes away!

CT Clinic is the place to go for pain relief in Manchester!
I have been very much pleased by the treatment and kindness of the practitioner Ammar, who helped me in recovery of my ankle. In October last year, I have suffered an accident on a motocycle which resulted in a skin replacement in the area of my ankle, on my left leg. The recovery has been very long and I could not walk for more than 2 months after the surgeries. Afterwards, I had some sessions with physioterapist but I was still experiencing pain in the are and I felt my leg was heavy and disfunctional. It got very tired when doing sports and painful with more physical activity. After reading Google recommendations, I decided to contact Ammar and after five sessions of COPA therapy, my ankle is fully functional again. At the beginning, Ammar patiently explained to me where the problem was and apart from the COPA therapy sessions, he also gave me advice how to do stretching exercises by myself at home and how to get back to sports gradually. From the beginning he was very positive about the treatment and very right about how much time I would need to fully recover with COPA therapy. Overall, I have been very pleased with the treatment and progress that I've made. Now I can run 5k 3-4 times a week without no pain and feel fit again. I very much recommend CT Clinic to anyone experiencing long-term pain.

I've been to see Ammar about 5 times for half hour sessions. He took the time to listen to the background of my issue and consider what might have been causing it. He spends a good amount of time working the area during our sessions and I have seen a fairly significant improvement. I should note that my pain was not overbearing from the outset but has reduced significantly.
Ammar has always been kind and professional. He stresses the importance of stretching in order to keep muscular issues at bay (i.e. prevention better than the cure).
S. K.
I had severe upper back and neck stiffness. Called CT clinic and spoke with Ammar. Received an appointment the same day. After 2 sessions I had already seen a 50% improvement. After 2 months of treatment my old complaint of severe stiffness was completely gone. I would highly recommend Ammar for his professionalism and expertise in using COPA threapy in treating my painful condition. Thank you Ammar.
C. M.
Very thorough and professional service. I contacted Ammar after injuring my ankle and was in a lot of pain. We had an initial consultation over the phone where he diagnosed that the issue was with my lower back. I was unable to put my foot flat on the ground as the pain was so intense and unable to walk properly.
After the first session I felt immediate improvement in the mobility of my foot and ankle. Ammar recommended some stretches to help with the recovery. I have since been able to run again and continue to do the stretches as they help with my mobility after spending longer hours at a desk working from home. Thank you Ammar!

one of your my friend recommended to go to CT Clinic and try COPA therapy because of shoulder injury which I had for years which was stopping me from training and lately this pain was disturbing my sleep but because I went to other practitioners and physiotherapists before and they didn't help I wasn't sure however I am glad I did because this COPA therapy is completely different to any other treatment I had and I felt much better after the first session and I sleep much better at night witch is a god send thanks to this man I can’t praise him enough since then I recommended few of my friends who also very happy. Ammar was professional and friendly and his clinic was Very nice and clean definitely recommended guys.

Having suffered from lower, middle, and upper back pain for few years, it was time to do something about it, my work in an office demands long hours of sitting down which impacted badly on the health of my back.
Recently i wasn't able to stand straight because of the sever pain.
Ct Clinic was recommended to me where COPA therapy was introduced, and honestly what a miracle!
The pain was almost cured completely from first session!
I am now able to stand straight and twist freely
Following the treatment i have been given few stretch exercises which also helped a lot
I highly recommend CT Clinic for guaranteed great results

I had horrible back pains for the past 4 years. The diagnosis was a herniated disc. I've been told that my only chance would be a surgery and even the surgery won't guarantee that I will recover completely. I was scared about the idea of going trough a surgery especially if that won't guarantee my recovery. I was confused about what to do next cause I couldn't bear the pains anymore. I couldn't do the things that I used to do before, like sports or long walks. I had big pains when standing up for more than 5 minutes. I was feeling miserable, like a useless person.
One day, I met a person that told me about Ammar. I was sceptical at the beginning, couldn't believe that a chiropractor can heal a problem like mine. How can a massage and stretching therapy be better than the surgery? But thanks to God I gived it a try! From the first therapy session I fell a huge difference. Ammar explained me that is not only about what he is doing for me in this one hour session of massage and stretching therapy, but is more important about my will of doing the stretching exercises home, every day, drink enough water, have a proper diet.In less words he explained me every little thing in the process of getting myself fully recovered. I did all of that, went to his therapy once a week for the first 6 weeks, after that twice a week. Now it's been about 2 months and a half since I start the therapy with Ammar and I feel like a new born person. My life is back. I am 90% recovered and I know that soon it will be 100%!
Just give it a try! You will understand from the first session that he is the person to help you recover!

For two years I ran 6 times a week, 6 KM each time.
All of a sudden I experienced a sharp intense pain in my knee whilst running.
It became so bad I could no longer run for more than 10 minutes without being in excruciating pain.
I became disheartened and began to think that I would not find a solution to be able to continue running.
A family member recommended to me - CT Clinic.
I attended my first appointment, albeit with a cynical mindset.
Immediately I was impressed at the attention & focus given to the muscles, as opposed solely to the spinal readjustment technique of standard chiropractors which had let me down in the past.
I learnt this method of muscle focused therapy was referred toward as COPA therapy.
My COPA therapist listened closely when I described the nature of the pain in my left knee and determined the root cause stemmed from the muscles in my lower back.
Just a couple of sessions and the intense pain in my knee had been reduced by over 80%!!
A few sessions more and the pain a distant & far memory!
As a direct result of COPA therapy, I am now in a position to run 4 times a week, 48 minutes each time and am confident with the stretching techniques taught to me by my COPA therapist the long-term result shall remain equally as positive.
Thank you to CT Clinic!
Thank you to COPA Therpay!

I had suffered from really bad anxiety and stress for well over a year and was struggling in life. A friend of mine also a previous patient of CT Clinic recommended that I go and see Ammar. I was very skeptic all at first and so stupid quite understood how acupuncture could help my condition. After a short telephone chat with Ammar I felt at ease and was booked in very quickly. Anyone with stress related ilness’s Need to consider this as a therapy and not just a physical treatment. We had an initial conversation and it soon became very clear as to what the trigger point was. Ammar is very good at making you think about things in a different light which is extremely regreshing and calming. I probably hadn’t even smiled for months prior to my visit. I had my first session of acupuncture and I felt like a new person on the way home. I rang a lot of my friends who were aware of my situation and they actually asked what he’s done to me. Ammar had explained the first session would have the biggest physical change and after that the steps get smaller but it is important to complete the treatment. Prior to seeing Ammar I was prescribed a drug call Tamazapene, at the time the GP’s seem to be big on this. The side effects are horrendous and basically kill all the feeing inside you. One of his first promises was that he could help and he would get me away from taking antidepressants. The dr had said I could get off them but it could take upto 12 weeks. After spending 6-8 sessions with Ammar I had the confidence with the support of the treatment to get off them in 3 days. Whilst this is probably not adviseable in medical terms I felt that I had the support alterytreatment (acupuncture) to do it. Today I’m a different person and I am extremely thankful to Ammar for all of his support guidance and help. I have since been back to Ammar with knee problems and again he has resolved issues that I’ve suffered with for years. I’m now happy in myself and I’m training more than ever with no pain in my knee whatsoever. I could not put into words how CT Clinic has helped because it would never do it justice. Please if your have been suffering get in touch with Ammar he’s a true professional.

An excellent service offered and delivered in a professional and friendly way. My shoulder pain was treated and resolved over a period of 6 sessions as promised during my first appointment. COPA therapy is definitely a unique method for treating shoulder pain.

I can't express how efficient CT Clinic staff were on identifying my pain and treat it using their unique COPA therapy after many years of pain suffering from sciatica, my life was a nightmare, I couldn't run, exercise, help my wife with the shopping or even hold my two kids. The treatment helped me gain my life back and enjoy my daily profession as a film maker. Highly recommend this place.

I have suffered with my back for too many years now and have seen numerous types of practitioners but none like Ammar. His confidence, expertise and unique techniques are second to none. He assured me that after the very first treatment I would feel easier and lighter and indeed I did. He is a true pain specialist, believing that the source of all pain is muscular and this unique approach raises him head and shoulders above his peers. I cannot recommend Ammar highly enough.

After trying various clinics and having very little success with my lower back I decided to bite the bullet again and decided to try CT clinics. I met Pablo in August and went through my medical history and pablo talked to me about copa therapy and how it works. After my first session and I was already feeling 50% better and by session 5 I felt no pain at all. At this stage Pablo was happy to discharge. Pablo is my know go to guy if I experience any sort of pain

My name is Simon and i was refered to Ct Clinic by a friend. My background is ex professional footballer and my current business is Shack Fitness Personal Trainer. My time with Ct Clinic was very effective and well explained what i needed to do after treatment. My pain was in different areas from my lower back all the way down to knee pain which i was treated for 4weeks and the pain which i never got rid of for about 5years was now gone. I was very sceptical about what i was going to be told but after 4 weeks of positive treatment and given stretches and guidelines to prevent the injury coming back.
I was very happy with my results and im back doing physical activity again.
C. B.
Honestly really great! Ammar is very experienced and after only one session I can feel the improvement!

I have suffered with lower back pain for 7 years and tried different methods of treatment, which have never been of any help. The pain was beginning to affect all aspects of my life.
A friend then recommended Ammar Ctclinic and I reluctantly made an appointment thinking he would not be able to help as nobody else had. After just 6 weeks of treatment I am now completely pain free, something I never thought was possible.
Ammar has literally changed my life and I cannot thank him enough. I would highly recommend him to anybody. He is professional, knowledgeable and a lovely person too ☺️ thanks again Ammar!

I have been having neck, back and shoulder problems for a while. It became unbearable when I couldn't move my neck. Ammar Ctclinic came highly recommended and now I'm passing this on!! After a few sessions I am completely pain free. I've been to other people for massages and treatment but none have been effective as this gent Ammar. I can't recommend him enough 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍

My mum is in her early 70is and suffered from lower back pain for a few years. During the lockdown in 2020 she suffered from sciatica and was prescribed nerve relaxing medication and x-ray.
My mum was in severe pain as she was unable to walk without a walking frame, it was difficult for her to sit, stand, laying in bed was also very painful. Her pain would travel from her left hip to her ankle. Watching my mum going through so much pain was very stressful.
A friend recommended COPA THERAPY, it has been a blessing, because having the Therapy and doing the starches from CT CLINIC YOUTUBE CHANNEL my mum is 100% improved.
I recommend COPA THERAPY to a friend as well after seeing the improvement on my mum.
My friend suffered from migraine for many years and today after having the treatment and followed the CT CLINIC YOUTUBE CHANNEL she is pain free and on no medication.
I would recommend this treatment to anyone going though so much pain, and the starches demonstrated on CT CLINIC YOUTUBE CHANNEL are very very helpful. It’s the best treatment 👍

Over the last few years I have struggled to walk longer than a few hundred metres without having to stop. This problem has been slowly getting worse to a point where I thought I'd caused long term damage. I've been to see loads of different physios with little or no results. Six weeks ago someone put me in touch with Ammar Ctclinic. For the first time in a very long time, I am pain free, I can have good quality sleep and I'm finally getting my quality of life back. Thank you so much for all your advice and hard work. By far the most effective and knowledgeable person I have been to see and I would highly recommend Ammar to anyone with any type of injury 👍🏻⛷
T. R.
Absolutely brilliant. I carry a lot of tension in my upper back and shoulders, and have for years. After a quick but thorough chat Ammar knew where to locate and work out the pains. What once was unbearable is now back in full use in my Deltoid and pectoral muscle.
I went a second time just yesterday, and he again pinpointed exactly my issue which seemed to originate in my neck and below my shoulders, and though painful, his wit, charm and extensive knowledge made it all the worthwhile.
10/10 would recommend, thank you!

I had a very nasty football related injury to my left knee, having had surgery on the right knee for a similar injury i thought I would have to go under the knife again. Anyway after 6 months treatment from Ammar my knee was pretty much 100% healed. If only I had known about him when injuring my right knee. I have sent many friends to him for treatment who all have had amazing results. I cannot recommend Ammar enough.

Life before CT Clinic had an addition of variable but constant pain in my upper back and shoulders. From acute shocks too days of numb ache.
It affected my mood without me knowing.
The worse it got the quicker it got worse.
I could no longer satisfy my addiction to sports. All were on hold.
Any physical training was on hold.
My sleep was at 50% efficiency which affected everything.
Enough was enough and I found this Clinic. Now I’ve had three sessions and it has completely changed. I am in a deep sleep for the first time in 6 months. I feel rested.
I am now able to enjoy my sports again.
I know that two more sessions and the pain will be a thing of the past.
Cannot recommend enough.

Anyone who knows me will know that for as long as I can remember I have suffered with acute pain, stiffness and a lack of flexibility in my lower back.
Ammar Ctclinic was recommended to me by a friend and I have never looked back (excuse the pun). Not only has the stiffness gone but I am now virtually pain free and my flexibility has massively improved.
I just want to say thank you Ammar for sorting my back out when no one else could and giving me a new lease of life as I no longer feel like a 80 year old woman 😊
y. k.
I highly recommend this clinic. Long-standing pain and discomfort in my neck and back was treated and relieved swiftly. Ammars knowledge of multiple disciplines combing acupuncture, adjustments and deep massage has really helped with mobility. If you are having any bother I would certainly give this a go and try it for yourself. You will not be disappointed. The clinic is beautiful and clean, and service highly professional.

As a fitness coach I suffer from a few different issues and the good Doctor always puts me back on track. Although some things cannot be fixed, a visit to the CT Clinic always gives you options. Highly recommenced for knee and back pain.

My husband had been suffering from severe back pain for 3 month before a family friend recommended CT clinic. I'm so grateful that after 2 sessions of treatment my husband has fully recovered. I can not beleive the amount of time he wasted with other so called practitioners. Thank you CT clinic!

I visited Amar for help with my back and posture. I began seeing results after my first session and I am very happy with the end result and service. Amar is a true professional and an expert in this field. Highly recommend to others.

I had specific injuries due to football and have been treated here for a few sessions. My body feels much stronger and flexible.
I would rate the Physio treatment here 5* and recommend friends and family. Plenty of parking easy booking service.
Easily the best Physio I have attended out of many.

Five stars! Was looking for a relaxing massage to relieve back muscle tension from work (as I thought so) but booked a consultation as well just to see if there was anything else. To my surprise, just by having a quick examination the therapist told me it was mostly because of my sleeping posture.
The session was professional, insightful and comfortable. Definitely recommend.

Been having dhoumder pain for some time. Visited Pablo who was able to clearly identify what the issue was and the cause. Went to work and performed deep tissue massage, had to tap out 3 times. He explained the reason for such pain and was very knowledgeable. Showed me exactly what I needed to do to support recovery. Top guy very friendly and he knows his bananas.
Thanks Pablo!🤜🏾🤜🏾🤜🏾

So I first visited the CT Clinic for my lower back pain, I didn’t know what was wrong with me for months so I seen some of Amaaaarrr work and thought I’d give it a try and after only 4 sessions on my back I get zero pain and I’m a lot more lose and flexible & I’m currently getting some shoulder work done atm. I believe he will sort it out in no time highly recommended & very professional.

After suffering with severe neck pain for a long period of time, with countless doctors and physio appointments that had no affect. I visited the CT Clinic recommended by a friend . After a thorough consultation and two treatments, the affects are amazing and i am nearly pain free. Excellent service and would highly recommend.
S. S.
The best treatment I’ve ever had. I been suffering knee pain for 4 months, hardly i was able to bend my knee 90 degrees, but after great treatment i had here know i can bend my knee as normal.
Highly recommended.

I suffered with severe back pain and after just 3 sessions of acupuncture I feel great. I want to say a huge thank you Ammar for the work he did on my back. Definitely would use again in the future

What a beautiful experience I had.
I couldn’t stand on my feet because of my back pain, they gave my back the best repair. They used COPA therapy which was a unique way to treat my back.
Thank you ct clinic best wishes going forward
D. G.
Highly recommended, had severe back pain for years tried everything but 6/7 sessions with Ammar and my back is 95 percent better, just my stomach to deal with now and I’m sure he will solve that in no time! Cheers mate 💙

I had a bad back and went in to see Ammar who treated me on the same day and by the end of the day I was feeling a lot better. It's good to feel like my old self again. Highly recommended.
O. A.
Very experienced
Very professional
Very caring
Very knowledgeable
He quickly identifies the problem and gives you an honest diagnosis then goes on to fix the problem.
Hard to find a better man for this type of work .
Many of my boxers use Ammar .

Great professionalism, knowledge and friendly. Pablo Sanchez has managed to get avoid of my back and neck pain. Thanks to him I am much better. Totally recommendable.

I play a lot of football and I thought I suffered from a tight calf until I went to CT clinic to find out that the source of the pain was my lower back. I can't thank Ammar enough for the fabulous job he did.
D. F.
They do seem to cover many health disciplines which is great one stop shop of sorts. It’s in the middle of an unassuming street, a little sparse inside. The owner seems nice enough guy when he gets what he wants otherwise the tension is palpable...
J. E.
Service is outstanding. Depth of skill and knowledge. Highly recommended. If you have any concerns about pain, stress and even mental health, you will be in the right place here. Thank you for helping me.
