PHYSIOTHERAPY – PHILIP

Thank you, Mareen, and the rest of the Bridge Health & Wellbeing team, for all your...
SPORTS MASSAGE – FAY
"I was looking for a sports massage whilst on holiday in the area (struggled to find the time recently during everyday home life). Google reviews led me to Bridge Health & Wellbeing, and it was excellent. Nathan did a great assessment and massage, followed by some valuable advice and stretches for me to take forward. I’ll definitely be back when I’m next in the area. And it was clear from my time waiting in reception that there are plenty of locals who get a huge amount from the clinic. A...

BROKEN ANKLE – SARAH
"Bridge Health & Wellbeing is a very warm, friendly and professional environment, even down to Trigger the dog - best receptionist there is!! I went to see Aaron (Coode) about my ankle that I broke several years ago, which has repeatedly flared ever since. Aaron's knowledge and expertise are outstanding. He did some manipulation and massage therapy and then gave me a series of exercises to complete, each time increasing the load on my ankle. My ankle is now fully recovered, and when I...
CHIROPRACTIC – BRIAN
"I had the pleasure to meet the team and their delightful dog Trigger. Trigger was the first to warmly welcome me into the practice and he put a smile on my face immediately.

In addition to his in depth of knowledge, it was a pleasure to have met a down to earth, interesting and entertaining professional - I was put at ease immediately, despite the pain I was in. The range of exercises and treatments over a two week period...
SHOCKWAVE THERAPY
"I’ve had Plantar Fasciitis twice, the first time for 7 months but a friend recommended Shockwave treatment and for me, it’s been pretty miraculous! This second bout has lasted for a few months, and I missed going for walks. After my first treatment with Steve Hard, the pain had virtually disappeared. I was told to expect a recurrence initially, but it didn’t happen. I’ve now had three treatments and feel confident the problem’s disappeared. I’d highly recommend Steve and Shockwave treatment...
PHYSIOTHERAPY – LINDA
“I have been going to Paul since April. I had a fall on the golf course, which resulted in an injury to my shoulder. Paul has prescribed some serious physio, which I stick to, quite strictly. I am a bowling seventy-year-old and am delighted, at the improvement in general, to my movement range and resultant memory. I have also liked the way that I am gently pushed on a bit, to improve and not just remain static. The team at the clinic are professional, well qualified and caring. I would not...

SPORTS INJURY – WILL
“I needed some physio following an acute sports injury and Paul came highly recommended from a friend. I couldn’t have asked for a friendlier service from start to finish.

They also have a great private gym to help with those sessions. I would not...
PILATES Sarah
“I have just completed a 5 week back rehabilitation Pilates course with Hazel at Bridge Health & Wellbeing.

So far I have done two classes that I have never done before and on both occasions, the instructors have been welcoming and have taken into account participants...
SHOULDER PAIN – JUSTIN
"Totally amazed at how quickly my shoulder pain was relieved. I met with Paul for an initial assessment, and he gave me some simple but highly effective exercises which, over just a few days, showed stunning results. Over the course of 6 weeks, he worked on my shoulders with some manipulation and further exercises, and now it’s as good as fixed. I can’t believe I lived with the pain for so long when the answer was just around the corner. Thank you, Paul and the super-friendly team over at...

HEALTH & WELLBEING
“When I went to Bridge Health & Wellbeing, I had a dodgy knee which stopped me running, regular back problems following an old slipped disc and I weighed about 3/4 stone more than I do now. Paul gave me a programme of exercise for my knee and I’m now running 3 miles every other day. One Pilates class a week with Louise keeps my back healthy and has changed my body shape for the better. Between the two, I feel so much stronger and I’ve also really enjoyed it. I hadn’t done Pilates before...
