I had a neck problem for 3 years before i saw Craig. Despite seeing both my GP and another physio on numerous occasions the problem persisted.
After one consultation with Craig he correctly identified the problem and managed to successfully provide treatment. What was really helpful was his ability to fully explain the problem which then enabled me to correct my posture, which along with the home exercises and one further consultation has now helped to cure the problem.
Thank you Craig !
I would highly recommend Craig to any runners. In addition to Physiotherapy, running is one of Craig's passions and is very knowledgeable and without a doubt would improve any runner’s ability. I found the small changes recommended have made a massive difference of my ability, recovery, and injury prevention.
The bonus is the availability of appointment times, and I found these useful juggling a busy lifestyle and finding a 6.30am appointments to fit around my schedule.
To give a bit more detail ... I contacted Craig as I was looking for a physio with experience of cycling related injuries and a physio based bike fit. Having played rugby for may years I've plenty of experience seeing physios to help with injury and rehab. This was slightly different for me as I didn't really know what the problem. Turns out I had a hugely inflamed Ischial bursar meaning I couldn't sit sit on a bike for any period of time. After an initial assessment Craig identified a number of problems which resulted in me being a-symmetric on the bike which ultimately caused the friction on the Ischial bursar. Over the following weeks these were treated but importantly Craig educated me so I understood what was going on physically. I'm now much more symmetric. I have much better hip flexibility. I no longer have any lower back or Achilles pain - both of which I wrongly thought were legacy from my rugby days. I also understand what I need to do to stay this way. As part of my treatment I Craig also gave me a bike fit, altering my position to help symmetry. I now have a better power output and it is 50:50 symmetrical between my right left leg. Craig also gave me a follow up bole-fit which confirmed I haven;t fallen back to old habits.
I am so thankful to Craig. Not only am I back on the bike but generally I feel he has improved my posture and body balance.
I would thoroughly recommend Physio Republic.
As a cycling newbie who has trained predominantly on an indoor trainer for just over a year the world of ‘real life’ cycling seemed daunting but it has been something I’ve wanted to do for years, with my fitness at a decent level I bought my first road bike and had been feeling some discomfort in my right knee and suffered terribly on my right side with saddle soreness.
The thought of a bike fit was nerve wracking but something I knew would be integral to improving and more importantly becoming more comfortable on my bike.
After the initial consultation where Craig asked about my history, we completed a series of tests to discover any discrepancies/areas of concern with my body and soon found out a few issues that lead back to the discomfort I’d been having on my right side.
Once on my bike Craig was very meticulous and explained every step of what he was doing and why, during this first appointment I felt well informed and that the suggested improvements were all achievable with persistence and practice.
Within 3 days of my bike fit all saddle soreness and knee pain subsided and I no longer have any painful rides, on my road bike or indoor trainer and I put this down to Craig and his tenacious tinkering!
Cannot recommend Craig enough, he’s made cycling so much more comfortable - it’s very obvious that he cares about your performance and wants you to be at your absolute best.
If you’re thinking about booking in for a bike fit with Craig - just do it!
