“I like to understand the mechanisms which prevent an injury from recovering and use a variety of treatment techniques to correct any contributing factors, whilst targeting the source of the pain.”

  • Excellent service from both Rachel, the students and Chris – the interventions are making a world of difference already. I will definitely recommend you whenever I talk to someone who I think would benefit from your services. Thank you!

  • I’ve had ‘lower back’ pain almost constantly for two years,it’s completely impacted my life, it’s affected my dancing which I love, my gym sessions, even walking, shopping, doing the house work, after seeing Chris who is totally professional, he taught me which muscle group was causing the pain, how to work with it on a daily basis, which things to avoid in the gym that were agrravating it, he’s taught me exercises that I can do at home (or away) and in the gym to strengthen the msucles, I’m like a different person, no longer in pain. I can’t thank Chris enough, he’s completely changed my life.

  • Chris is amazing! Solved my problem in one session and given me exercises to prevent further problems that I can incorporate into my day with ease! Many thanks!

  • Chris was simply amazing, he practically had to teach me to walk again following a dislocation of my ankle and a fracture to my fibula. I thank him enough for his support and encouragement.

  • I had 8 Physio sessions with my physio therapist Chris and he was most helpful and considerate throughout for all of my problems. He always gave good advise and posted exercises for me to do at home which helped immensely. What I saw of the Long Eaton Impact Physiotherapy place the therapists who work there were well equipped and trained to deal with any of your problems to re habilitate.
