Transform Health

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.

Always been excellent service very easy to talk to

Kate has been so beyond helpful, I can't begin to thank her enough. The therapy felt so rounded and thorough overall, covering physical therapy where Kate gave me helpful exercises to practice but she also gave me some really good breathing exercises, and we talked about anxieties and how to think about my pain and reframe it so that I was able to work with it until the exercises built strength and my pain has all but gone. I'm so grateful, I'd recommend this type of service to anybody suffering from pain.

After 15+ years of low lying pain being a part of my every day life, 20 minutes into my first appointment, and after a few exercises, I was pain free. Following some easy instructions, and being mindful of what I am doing, my day to day life is now one of no pain, rather than dealing with the constant ache. By being made aware of what you are doing, a few lifestyle changes is all it took to relieve the pain I thought I just had to put up with.

My recent visits have been helpful. Being told that holding my myself in an upright position/good posture has been a fundamental reason as to why my coccyx, pelvis and glutes were in pain. I was told to relax my muscles more, and I was given exercises to support my back as well as alternative ways to position my body. Fran has helped me understand why my body has been in pain and I now have the tools I need.

Saw Nick today on my last visit, he's helped me with my back issue. Nice guy.

Nick has been supportive, motivational and educational worker. He as helped me develop my understanding of causes of my pain, how to rectify the causes and this has helped improve not only my physical but my mental health.

Neil Davey changed my mindset about lower back pain. He successfully challenged me to consider how my lifestyle choices, especially those relating to stress, can have a direct impact upon my back pain. Through rebuilding my confidence in trusting my back, I have had no major relapses since my hospital discharge a year ago. I particularly appreciated his use of humour in changing my perspectives and treating me with respect in relation to my recovery stage . The only thing I would change is having access to this service sooner. If I had access to Transform Health through my GP, I could have avoided having to spend a week in hospital and personal pain and distress that caused myself and my family members, not least the financial cost to the NHS.
