Transform Health

With three visits a lot has been covered and the quality of service has been superb. I have gained a number of techniques which have reduced pain considerably and also made a significant difference to my psychological attitude to activities and to my life which had been compromised by the pain.

I found a big change in how dealt with my condition.cant speak highly enough of help and advice I received from Lloyd.

After trapping the root of my spinal nerve I was in severe pain and discomfort during any kind of movement. I was then referred to the MSK team and eventually to Lloyd at transform health. Lloyd helped me gain a much fuller understanding of my underlying issue and gave me ways to think about the pain and protecting my back in a different way. He showed me exercises to strengthen around that area but, more importantly for me personally, it was the mental side of the treatment that made the significant difference. Lloyd took me through breathing exercises and shared clips of how to do this. Along with the breathing he also talked about how I think about the pain. I was unnecessarily protecting my back when moving. Lloyd helped me realise that I didn’t need to do this and after a bit of brain retraining, I now don’t think about the pain or protecting my back at all. I now feel fully equipped to deal with this when it happens again. I’m not foolish enough to think it won’t! However, I now know that I can think differently which, in turn, can help me move differently and ultimately be free of the pain. I can only speak on a personal note, for me, this service has been invaluable and instrumental in my recovery and new way of thinking. I now think differently, not just about the pain and the possibility of going through this again but also life in general is much more positive.

Having viewed videos by Lorimer Moseley (Suggested by my clinician) I acknowledged how the pain signals may well be overstimulated nerve endings sending pain signals to my brain. With this in mind and with support at my appointments, I have made a concerted effort to re-evaluate what I can and can't achieve. Relaxation and gentle stretching has played a big part in my change of attitude. Having protected and effectively locked my lower back for years, for fear of incurring more damage, I now work on the premise that I can do things rather than I can't. I am extremely grateful for the support and sensible advice I have received. Life now looks a little more rosy. Thank you.

The service is extremely user friendly and the people involved are very personable. They listen closely and are very clear in the advice given. The follow up care is good.

Great experience and has actually changed and transformed the way I think and look after my back.

I would definitely recommend Neil to anyone suffering with backpain. His holistic approach really worked for me.

Very helpful and kind

Very informative

It is important to have an open mind. I have struggled with pain for most of my adult life, I have done many manual handling courses and have always been told to keep a straight back. Now I know and understand a simple truth about how the back has vertebrae and is designed to bend. So simple but all the doctors and physios (bar 1) told me I have a week core but strengthening exercises just made things worse.
