  • “Tom is fantastic at what he does, whether its treatment or taking me through rehab and assessments. His attention to detail is second to none and have always left feeling in a much better place around an injury and what the next steps look like. 100% recommend to anyone with an injury or needing treatment.”

    — Harry Wright., TRAINWRIGHT

  • "I've been doing my online post hip op rehab with Tom for 6 weeks now & feeling much stronger would highly recommend"

    — Emily Smart

  • Tom has been fantastic through my ACL rehab process, and without him, I would not be in the position I am today. His attention to detail is flawless, and he offers a comprehensive rehab solution, through the highs and lows! Would highly recommend if you want to be successful in your injury rehab process.

    — Alex Haywood

  • Tom is a great rehabilitator. He’s motivational, knowledgeable and reliable. I wasn’t sure if my knees would ever be strong enough to run again, but I’m well on my way to a 5k thanks to Tom

    — Amy Fitzgibbon

  • Tom treated a historic injury of mine brilliantly. He's clearly extremely experienced and was patient listening to the full story before making any conclusions. My injury was instantly better from the treatment, and follow on exercises have definitely prevented a relapse!

    — Gussy Hydleman

  • Simply put, I wish I had got Tom’s help earlier! I spent weeks with serious neck and shoulder pain, seeking out various practitioners’ input with no luck. Tom accurately found the root cause of the problem and developed movements and exercises to remedy it. Great set up and I have already referred several friends to seek his help.
