Testimonials

 

"When I was referred to Tim Allardyce at Croydon Physio I was in constant severe pain from a neck injury to such an extent that I couldn’t imagine life getting back to normal without surgery. Incredibly, just eight sessions later I’m almost completely recovered. It’s like some kind of magic. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Tim to anyone".

Greg Cheasman was referred by a local GP with a cervical disc prolapse.

“I cannot thank Sarah and Tim enough for their personalised, friendly, expert service. I would recommend their service highly. In July 2007, I experienced sudden, prolonged and severe leg pain. This immediately stopped me being able to function normally including playing sports or working, both major parts of my life. After reaching no conclusions through a series of preliminary NHS appointments (meantime, my health deteriorating), this was immediately diagnosed in August 2007 by Tim as a symptom of 3 prolapsed lower back discs (this was later clarified by an MRI scan and report which Tim also recommended). I have been receiving treatment, further diagnoses, guidance and advice from Tim and Sarah since this time and I’m happy to say that I’m on my way to full recovery. Without these interventions, it was extremely likely that my health would have deteriorated rapidly and I would have had to have lower back surgery, both likely to have a more adverse affect on the quality of my life".

John Herbert - came to us with three badly prolapsed lower back discs, confirmed on MRI, and a likely surgical case

"I had a knee operation to repair the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in July 2006. I started my rehab at croydon physio, Addington Palace. I am back to playing field hockey and skiing and all my sporting activities as I did before the accident.

What impressed me most about the clinic was not only their expert knowledge but also the personal care and attention to detail. I felt I was not just another patient, but an individual and I got tailor-made treatment. The staff constantly encouraged and motivated me, and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. I’m very thankful for all their help and support. I highly recommend the clinic for their professionalism and care."

I was introduced to Tim back in September 2005 when he came to visit my home training venue at Crystal Palace to see Keith Morgan, my coach. At this point I was preparing for the Commonwealth Championships in the October, when 1 week before I was due to leave an extremely painful injury occured to my back and upper leg. It was from this point Tim became an important part of Team Calvino, with a real challenge ahead of him to fix me in 7 days!!. After the first visit I instantly felt better and responded quickly to Tim's treatment to feel fully fit heading out to my event.

Leading up to Commonwealth Games 2006 in Melbourne it was important that I maintained physical fitness & well being to achieve my peak performance at the games, Tim's treatment was a major role in achieving this. He not only takes on board your injuries, he takes on the requirements of your sport to ensure any weaknesses are fazed out to allow you to be at your best, and I definitely benefitted from this. He is totally 100% committed to you no matter how big or small your problems may be, Tim will help you gain the results needed to conquer your goals and without his support I don't think I would have had the best year of competitions as I did in 2006. I will enjoy working with Tim for many years to come".

"I had the pleasure of meeting Tim in June 2005 when came back from an international in Norway. I was told my season was over because my adductor muscle had come away from the bone. Naturally I was devastated because I had an excellent winter and all I wanted to do was throw.

I met Tim at Crystal Palace National Centre where he said he would like to attempt to fix me because he was confident that he had the relevant equipment and experience.

Being a sceptic and having nothing to lose I went along and saw Tim and hand on heart Tim was wonderful and he had me throwing a again not long after a number of rehab secessions and as a result I finished the season 4th in England. I am eternally grateful to Tim and his team. I cant bring to words how wonderful I felt after seeing Tim.

I would strongly recommend Tim and his team to anyone with any injury regardless of wether you compete at an amateur level or world class.

I look forward to continuing to work with Tim throughout my athletics career".
