CONSORTIUM CHARTERED PHYSIOTHERAPISTS

Consortium Chartered Physiotherapists in Cottingham have been invaluable in enabling me to take control of and manage my long term back and knee issues. They provided the necessary tools for me to manage pain, improve flexibility with the aim of working towards the eventual elimination of pain. I was provided with a written tailored exercise schedule. Graham demonstrated the appropriate exercises in front of me during the session working with me to ensure that I was undertaking them effectively. He also gave me a gentle massage to my knee which significantly reduced pain aiding recovery. Graham gave a full initial assessment based on a in-depth enquiry and provided follow-up sessions as required. He is kind and sensitive in his approach and motivational in attitude. I fully recommend Consortium Chartered Physiotherapists.

I can absloutely highly recommend Clare Haslam as she is an amazing knowledgeable and professional therapist! I have never been checked out with my health problems as thoroughly as by Clare! I have been suffering from constipation for at least 2 decades, have been to so many GPs during this time and was diagnosed with IBS and often sent home with peppermint pills to relieve bloating of the tummy. After trying out and incredible list of remedies for my digestive issue (which frustratingly never solved the problem) and after excluding more sinister causes by various tests, I have been rather desperate for help and luckily found Clare Haslam! I got an appointment within a week. Clare suggested the root cause could be a prolapse of the bowel, which could cause this obstruction for passing stool properly and regularly. I was moved to tears that finally someone had listened to me and my symptoms very carefully and I finally felt someone had taken my longstanding symptoms and resulting discomfort (boated belly, loss of appetite) seriously, which both had impacted a lot on my life quality and my mood. I have now been referred to a specialist clinic for further investigation. Finally, I feel there is hope again!! Anyone who reads this will understand how debilitating and depressing "the inability to poo properly" can be (something that should be the most normal thing!) , especially when you have tried "everything" and the problem still persists! I found it astonishing that no GP had ever mentioned the possibility of a "bowel prolapse" to me, despite the longstanding symptoms! If this resonates in any way with you, I would recommend to contact Clare today!

I've recently received treatment from Gary at the clinic for a chronic elbow problem. He took the time to understand the injury, and went into great detail explaining what my treatment should look like and how he can enable me to complete the recovery. After the first session we created a plan, that I could implement getting me on the road to tendon recovery. And with diligent work he has cleared me back to rock climb much earlier than was first thought. Gary was open and honest about treatment techniques and mentioned that it would be down to my own work that would lead to positive outcomes. I cannot recommend Gary and the practice enough. It provides an excellent service.

I have been seeing Gary for physiotherapy following my hip replacement. He is very approachable and comfortable to be with. He explains all the exercises and the reasons why they need doing. He has certainly helped my recovery tremendously and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

My husband was discharged from hospital as bed bound and using a hoist, for all transfers, after appalling care in HRI. We contacted the team and Graham and Debbie performed a home visit. A plan of action was set up and 6 weeks later after twice weekly visits and lots of exercise regimes to complete, my husband is walking with a zimmerframe, managing to walk to toilet and will be using his own bed soon. I was hopeful the physio team would help my hubby but we are both overwhelmed at how far he has come. I would urge anyone to use this service.
