Testimonials:

I have been attending Woodside Clinic. The staff make you feel comfortable about your safety there. When you arrive you are asked to use the hand sanitizer and they check your temperature, which is logged. The staff are using all the appropriate face masks, gloves, and aprons.They sanitize everything before you arrive and after you leave. I have been seeing Pratik, an osteopath. He makes me feel at home and checks it’s okay before doing anything. He’s made a great job sort my shoulder out. I would recommend them.”

I have been using Woodside Clinic for group Pilates classes to strengthen my core. I have two prolapsed discs and need to learn to strengthen the muscles around that area. The instructor was very helpful and provided me with clear instructions and exercises that will help. The Reformer seems to be an amazing piece of equipment too.I chose Woodside initially for their availability late in the evening due to work commitments but the small classes are definitely a bonus due to the amount of personal instruction you receive. I’d most definitely recommend them.

Mr A is a 45 year old van driver who was recommended to try Pilates by his osteopath to help strengthen his core and improve his posture.
After an initial postural assessment and taking some background history, Mr A mentioned he had booked a skiing holiday and really wanted to feel fitter and stronger for his trip to help prevent any injury.

We decided that Pilates on the Reformer would be a great way to achieve this, with the spring loaded resistance to strengthen and lengthen muscles .The basic principles of Pilates were taught first then a programme devised to strengthen abdominals quadriceps, glutes and improve scapular stability also ankle stability.

After returning from his skiing holiday injury free, Mr A felt the benefits of Pilates had definitely helped him and continues to attend sessions on a weekly basis.

Extremely well researched, thorough and nailed my pain to the spot. I had been going to other physios, osteos and chiros for over 3 years. Pratik within 3 sessions was able to guide me through improving my core strength to alleviate the crippling back pain I had resigned to live with for the rest of my life. Fast forward one year and my back is at its strongest, my core at its strongest and I feel alive. Thank you Woodside!! Thank you pilates.

Professional attitude and good environment generally from the whole staff and my physio. Physio was quite knowledgeable and treatment plan worked perfect regarding my shoulder pain.

Woodside Clinic is a well-established multi-disciplinary service. Patients have always been seen promptly and have always expressed satisfaction with the care and treatment received. My patients have the choice of the local hospital or Woodside Clinic. They have always preferred the latter due to their hands-on therapy and good outcomes

I have fantastic results with headaches and general well-being with Acupuncture. Ann is fantastic and I have had great results and feel better after each session

Mr N, a 35 year old electrical engineer, started training in November 2013 for his first marathon in April 2014 . Training progressed well until he started getting low back pain in February 2014. He had increased his training in both frequency and intensity from running twice a week covering 15 miles to running four times a week covering 40 miles.

During his assessment by an osteopath, we found out that he had fractured his femur when he was 20 years old after coming off a motorcycle, and that he had a significant leg length difference which was putting a strain on his sacro iliac joints. Normally the body adapts well but due to his increased training his body couldn’t cope.

He was referred to our podiatrist who used orthotics to minimise the leg length difference and with a few adjustments to his training managed to complete the marathon with minimal discomfort.

This case highlighted the fact that if you are about to embark on any significant physical challenges, it may be worth seeing you musculoskeletal therapist just to ensure potential problems can be avoided or minimised.

I felt comfortable and relaxed and don’t feel pressurized. The information is simple. The exercises are not difficult but you have to be self-motivated to help yourself is what I understood.”
