R. S.

Ian is a very professional physio who is friendly, caring and extremely helpful. I suffer with chronic pain and have done so for many years. He takes the time to get to know me, he listens to me, to how I’m affected in life and has made a real effort to accommodate my recovery in the present and the future. I appreciate Ian teaching me the skills I need to help myself outside of the work we do in sessions. I’m super happy that he takes a holistic view, also showing me that he understands both the psychological and physical affects my fibromyalgia presents. I didn’t think I would ever find someone who understands what I’m going through and who wants to help in every way possible but Ian is that person. I’m very grateful for the work so far and am already seeing a difference to my pain😀. I highly recommend him.

I had an initial assessment with Ian who took all my details and listened carefully to the issues I had with my knee, I was then passed onto Peter who examined my knee and diagnosed the issue. Through lots of consistent rehab and regular sessions with Peter I was able to regain the full function of my knee. I would HIGHLY recommend freeflow, they are knowledgeable, practical and their methods are holistic and effective. When I eventually injure myself again I will not hesitate to give them a call.

J. R.

I was recommended to freeflow injury and performance clinic by a friend. I was very impressed with the way the initial consultation went and to the final stages of my rehabilitation. The techniques used to help in assisting with my injury. I thought the exercising I was being asked to do especially at home really helped to bring me forward to a more speedier recovery. Inside the treatment room, there was enough space for me to physically demonstrate where exactly I am feeling discomfort. The analysis, we worked on together and it really brought a new confidence in me. Personally that's one of the biggest achievements, I got my mojo back. I feel better, fitter and certainly more able than I was prior to meeting Ian. Ian's service was amazing, extremely clear in the way he communicates and as you would expect, understands the human body. He is also very friendly, but most importantly is able to help in getting you back to where you would like to be!! Thank you for all help :)

I've been working with Ian for the past 9 months. He's very knowledgeable and he explains the why as well as the how behind the exercises. He makes me work hard but not too far beyond my comfort/pain zone. We've built on the confidence that not all acute pain is bad and I am definitely able to move in ways that weren't possible a year ago. Thanks very much Ian!

S. S.

I've been having issues with my rotator cuff - both a current injury and long-term flexibility problems. Pete quickly diagnosed the issue and set me up with a few exercises to do, as well as a follow up appointment to assess progress. The whole process was smooth and painless and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone else.

A. M.

My daughter had a leg injury that was holding her back from her sport. We contacted Ian and after a thorough examination of the leg he was able to tell us the problem and how it could be treated. He gave us exercises to do at home and how to prevent the injury from reoccurring. Fantastic service from a knowledgeable physio which led to a very speedy recovery .thanks Ian!

Z. L.

I highly recommend Ian. He has a simple way of explaining things and he adapts his approach to suit the needs of the individual and their injuries and issues, drawing on both his professional knowledge and personal experience. His passion for helping others comes across in the standard of his work.

M. S.

I have been improving my strength and my physical awareness notably since I started training with Ian. Also my recovery has improved notably after injuries

B. S.

Ian’s expertise in rehabilitating injury was why I went to him but it was really important to me to find someone supportive with a flexible approach- that is exactly what I have found. Repeated problems with my back and ongoing pain in my hip for 18 months before I met Ian was inhibiting me from exercising and even moving because I was worried about hurting myself again. We have worked together for about ten months face to face and on zoom. In that time he has helped me better identify the ‘pain’ I was feeling when I moved and recognise when it wasn’t going to cause injury. It would have been really hard for me to do that on my own. I’m definitely stronger and am back to moving without worrying I’ll injure myself. Ian has been responsive to what I’ve needed in each session. He thinks carefully about what you want to achieve and is clever and creative in the solutions he offers. I couldn’t really ask for more. But on top of that he is easy to talk with and so the sessions fly by. I can’t recommend Ian more highly.

D. G.

Met Peter monthly over a 6 month period. Was able too diagnose and provide ideas to rehabilitate. Very friendly and helpful with several ideas dependent on circumstances and available equipment. Hugely recommend.

J. J.

I booked the treatment sessions several times with Ian and he was always super helpful. He helped me a lot with couple shoulder and wrist injuries I had in the past. I recommend him to everyone who's struggling with chronic pain and injuries.

S. H.

I started seeing Ian in August after rolling my ankle for the 2nd time in month. This and a few other long term injury were assessed and Ian thoroughly explained the course of action. Since seeing Ian I havent rolled my ankle, I've run my fastest 5k, deadlifted the heaviest in 5 years and all round feel like the my body awareness is higher and my movements more effective! Seen many a physio/osteo and Ian has lead to the most positive and impact change!

T. W.

I injured my wrist climbing (suspected tfcc tear) and was recommended to see Peter. Following Peters recommendations, my wrist which hadn’t been healing on its own is now causing me no issues and I’m back to climbing at my top grades with no pain. Would recommend

R. O.

Ive suffered from re-occuring lower backpain for the last 10 years and over the last 3 months, I've seen significant improvement from using Ian's services. Im far from fixed, but Ian has and is giving me the tools to continue on improving and achieve the ultimate goal of a backpain free life. What I've found different from using Ian's services, compared to physiotherapy (both nhs and private) he not only looks at physical triggers, but also mental triggers and an insight into the psychological impact of suffering from long-term pain. This has been very helpful in understanding why I get flare-ups for no obvious physical trigger. Would highly recommend his services.

O. D.

I saw Ian due to a shoulder injury that had plagued me for years. I'd been to numerous physiotherapists, chiropractors and osteos since being injured but the shoulder would still flare up. It was severely limiting my physical health and was starting to impact my mental health. Ian was both professional and knowledgeable. He treated me over the course of a few weeks and gave me a continued treatment plan. I felt significantly better leaving his clinic and he was available for any follow up questions. I've since referred Ian on to numerous friends and family, all have had nothing but positive feedback. If you have an injury, see this man!

A. G. G.

I’m stronger than I’ve ever been. No longer getting injured, nor afraid of all the hand balances that used to literally throw me. Few months with Ian and anything is possible. He’s supportive and smart and will make you laugh while you work hard. Highly recommend!

J. A.

Ian is simply awesome at what he does - a physio which truly trains you to become stronger rather than prolong treatment like other physios I've visited before. After just a couple of weeks of trying the exercises he suggested I've already seen a marked improvement in my shoulder mobility and strength. Highly recommend!

G. B.

Very happy customer, I've gone from not being able to do any exercise to martial arts training - all thanks to Ian at FreeFlow. I've been working with Ian for the last 5 months and the difference is amazing. I came to him with chronic neck pain which was also causing headaches and other issues. I was unable to do any exercise and was getting very frustrated. Ian was very professional and understanding, he came up with a treatment program that worked for me and guided me through some other aspects of my recovery. I'm now at the point where I can start exercising (including martial arts training) again, and if any issues arise I can use the relief techniques Ian put together for me.

I. N.

Ian takes a great deal of care in how he assesses and helps an injury. We’ve worked on my climbers elbow which had been a problem for a while. We have both fixed the pains and worked on solving the original cause of the issue which was tracked back to the shoulder. He understands the need to both solve immediate issues and strengthen supporting muscles so that active hobbies can be continued.

L. S.

Ian is simply amazing. He’s really helping me strengthen my body to help with my knee pain. Even after one session I noticed the difference. Ian is very informative and knows so much about the body being a trainee Osteopath. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

A. C.

Ian is really knowledgable and enthusiastic. It was really easy to set goals and actually achieve them with his supervision. Working with a PT is really different than working by myself. I got to a much deeper level of awareness of my body, my weaknesses and strengths. Ian just knows the most efficient way to achieve realistic goals in a set timeframe and is able to pass on his knowledge in a motivating and professional way, even online during lockdown.

n. p.

Ian is a is really knowledgeable guy who makes you feel at ease from the get go. From the goals I had he has created a specific plan which, through consistent training, I am making strides towards. I have loved every session and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to get stronger!

S. B.

Ian is quite simply superb. A fountain of knowledge, great listener and all round nice guy. I have been suffering with chronic back pain for some time following lumbar fusion. Throughout treatment he has worked with me to improve and manage pain whilst enabling me to continue with and progress my fitness training/ goals. His support, particularly whilst suffering the set back of a serious biceps injury recently, has been invaluable. I have seen significant improvement and also now have the tools to manage the every day symptoms and navigate any setbacks. It really has been life changing.

J. H.

I was in need of rehab direction for my broken hand and was put in contact with Peter. I couldn't be more pleased with the professionalism and knowledge he has, which really put me at ease and gave me confidence moving forward. Can't recommend enough!

E. C.

I saw Ian for remedial massages for nerve and muscle pain after a medical procedure. I have never tried anything like this before, so was a little apprehensive, but Ian was really great at making me feel relaxed and comfortable. Ian seems to genuinely really care about your recovery, giving me exercises to do at home for any future flare ups. My pain levels and ability to manage this are drastically improved, thank you!

C. E.

Ian has worked out a very cool concept. His classes reach parts that other classes do not reach! They gave me the structure I needed to stick to a very healthy exercise programme, which is sure to help me to age gracefully. Plus, they are an education at the same time, as Ian passes on his useful knowledge. Highly recommended.

E. G.

I'd had elbow pain from climbing for around 6 months since I started the sport. In one session Ian was able to identify a likely cause of the pain (which was not located in the elbow) and within 3 or 4 weeks I went from being able to climb once a week to every other day. Really great service, friendly and effective - couldn't recommend more.

J. H.

Extremely knowedgeable and indepth consultation. Provided excellent session and great follow up advice. Will be visting again :)

G. L.

I visited FreeFlow Injury & Performance clinic for a much needed sports massage (recommended by my coach). The session with Ian also provided insight into some of the small niggles I was dealing with and how to adapt my training accordingly as well as some invaluable advice about my current training habits. It was so useful I have recommended 2 friends and my mum!!!

L. B.

I have been having PT sessions with Ian for a few months. Sessions are fun, varied and challenging. Ian is great to work with, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. There is a good focus on form and he ensures that he motivates me to work hard.

M. F.

Peter was very helpful in diagnosing the injury through a series of exercises. In the end he suggested a simple plan for recovery.

P. ..

Ian was very professional, patient and evidently knowledgeable. He really helped me to understand what was achievable whilst managing expectations. I would recommend without hesitation.

T. L. A.

Ian at FreeFlow has changed my life! Since my early 20s I have been in chronic pain which has restricted how I have lived my life. In the last 3 months, where other physios, the NHS, surgery, drugs and meditation have failed, Ian has succeeded. I feel more mobile and stronger, now at 36,than I ever have. Ian will tell you, recovery isn't linear. It isn't. But with Ian it's as close as you'll get!

L. B.

Ian is very professional and knowledgeable, he’s helping me with hip and back pain that I’ve had for years. I’ve had 3 treatments with him and some strengthening sessions and I can feel a difference already! I can highly recommend him.

S. F.

In a year, Ian has transformed a chap in his mid 50s from being reasonably strong, in some ways if decidedly lacking in mobility in others, into someone whose movements can (at times) be described as graceful. Through continual variation in my training and the provision of telling insights, my journey to becoming an implausibly tall and elderly gymnast or break-dancer has progressed to an extraordinary extent and without even a hint of a plateau. It has also been enormous fun and covered unexpectedly broad philosophical territory…

M. O.

Just go and see this guy - he's whip smart! Ian helped me rehab and eventually fully recover from golfers elbow which had been painful and persistent for around 2 years. I'd been to two other physios that just couldn't pin point the problem.

S. G.

Ian identified my shoulder problem efficiently and gave me exercises that really helped. From continuing the exercises, my shoulders are now stronger than before my injury!

L. H.

Went to a session with Ian at red spider climbing at Fareham. Great knowledge of injuries that climbers often have and how to rehabilitate these. Useful exercises for specific muscle groups that will benefit and strengthen your climbing ability and technique.

F. H.

What a guy! I've had issues with my lower back for the last 10 years and have seen a number of specialists who have had no luck with with. One session with Ian and the pain has gone from a constant 6-7 to maybe a 2 some days! Not to mention I went back and he's fixed a shoulder injury. Couldn't recommend more!

T. M.

Peter quickly identified the climbing injury in my finger and has been supporting me with a doctor referral to an NHS hand specialist for further treatment. I will defiantly be going back for rehabilitation later on.

M. T.

Ian is an excellent physiotherapist / sports therapist very knowledgable offered some movement exercises to help my tight rhomboids. Highly recommended!!

S. G. (. F. G.

Polite and Professional Very helpful in quickly identifying and solving all of my issues so far with amazing knowledge and the willingness to help. Still using FreeFlow Therapy consistently and its had a noticeable impact, change and improvement to how easy mornings are for those with misbehaving muscles this is a life saver. An extremely good use of time if your looking to rid yourself of any and all soft tissue issues. All round top bloke

a. s.

Great knowledge of techniques and theory of how to relieve pain and help aid recovery! I visit regularly to help recover from hard cycle training. The price is also really good compared to similar level soft tissue massage therapy elsewhere and if anything offers a superior service!! Cant recommend enough...

B. C.

Peter was extremely knowledgeable and not only provided details on how to recover from my injury but also the motivation and method for active injury prevention. If i ever need another expert, FreeFlow will be my first port of call.

J. G.

Excellent service. Highly recommended! Will definitely come back if need arises. Peter is very professional, straight to the point. In one month I recovered way more than several months before.

E. D.

Very helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. Good experience of climbing injuries, would definitely recommend.

N. U.

I would like to express my great gratitude to Peter Wareham ! With your professionalism you improved so quick my back,my leg, my walking! THANK YOU VERY MUCH !

R. C.

Overall an extremely thorough service that awnsered all of my questions, and put me on a clear path to improvement. I would highly recommend as a different approach to chiropractor with better results long term.

G. w. m. G.
