Performance Lab Physiotherapy - Blackburn

I was a keen county standard netballer, playing and training several times a week. Over a few weeks I developed significant pain in my knee which limited my mobility, even walking was painful. I saw several physios who attempted to help but failed, I was beginning to get fed up and upset thinking I would never get my knee right. After 3 months of no progress The Performance Lab was recommended. After starting treatment, I began to notice progress though it was initially very slow and I had many obstacles to overcome. It felt that for every step forward I took a step backwards, I got frustrated and angry that every time something new was attempted my knee would flare up again, Matt tried everything! I really stretched his imagination to try to find new exercises that would help my knee but not cause the inflammation to return along with the pain. However, even when I felt like giving up, Matt came up with another suggestion and we tried again. Eventually significant progress was made and after nearly 2 and a half years of not being able to do any aspect of the sport I loved, I was able to start training towards sport specific exercises. Only 3 months after this breakthrough I successfully trialled for my University netball team and I haven’t had a set back yet! I have to maintain specific exercises, but I am able to go back and enjoy a sport that at one time during my injury I thought I’d never be able to do again. Thanks to Matt Kenyon for his perseverance, encouragement and ultimately success.

I have been attending the performance Lab with a knee injury for a few months. At the initial assessment, Phil ruled out the need for surgery, which put my mind at rest, and that initial assessment has turned out to be an excellent diagnosis. I have always found Phil to have a friendly and professional manner, and from the information, I've received I feel better prepared to avoid a similar injury. I will certainly recommend them to my friends and work colleges. Thanks again, Phil.

I’ve just been discharged after 6 weeks physio following a hip resurfacing procedure and I cannot praise this place enough. I have been treated by Emma throughout, who has been superb. She was very knowledgeable and friendly, displaying a very useful combination of support and positive encouragement. It’s a very professional set up, and they really make you feel that patient care is at the centre of what they do. Thanks very much!!!

Excellent service from Callum, I had two sessions with him he gave me exercises and guidance which led to me making a full recovery from an injury that had lasted me 18 months!

Dave was really knowledgeable and gave me exercises so I could help heal my injury at home! I would highly recommend him.

I have suffered for 10 years with back problems and was pain free with great flexibility in a few weeks 100% recommend Emma very professional a knowledgeable

Highly recommended, if you need physio this is the place to go, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Helped me get my ankle back to full mobility when I couldn't see that ever happening before coming here.

After many years of shoulder pain and previous unsuccessful attempts at physio I was recommended to try Performance Lab, and I'm so glad I did. The therapist looked in depth about the underlying cause, rather than just treating the symptoms, which went well beyond the shoulder! I am now able to take part in activities that I have not previously been able to. Subsequently I also had an elbow injury which was treated by a different therapist. Both therapists provided the same high standard of care. I would recommend anyone to give them a go.
