Testimonials

"I experienced constant headaches since my teenage years. I had seen numerous medical professionals but had not found satisfactory strategies to reduce the headaches. Kate quickly identified that the symptoms were mechanical and due to tension in my neck and shoulders. She showed me exercises and methods I could use to improve my neck movement, posture and workstation ergonomics. The result is a big reduction in the frequency of my headaches. Fantastic! The service I received from The Markland Clinic was excellent, very helpful, positive and friendly. Kate is very easy to talk to and understanding."

"Treatment for whiplash has been very beneficial and would recommend."

"Kate cured my dicky shoulder in just one session. Very impressed. So I am returning with my dicky knee."

" 'Shoulders are difficult' is the stock phrase of the medical profession. Kate has in a very short time helped considerably with a very long term problem."

"Following Physio for my shoulder injury I can now sleep at night without pain, lift a chainsaw properly and work effectively!!!"

"Kate has helped me resolve my recurrent back problem, plus she has given me ample knowledge and confidence to prevent it from returning. She is enthusiastic and a great communicator and if I have any other problems I will be sure to return."

"Came to physio after suffering sudden and unexplained back pain on left hand side. Began a course of physio combined with exercises and after 4 sessions there was a significant and welcome improvement. Everything explained along the way and money well spent to resolve problem. Thank you."

"Kate. A big Thank you for all your help with my back, even sneezing holds no fear of pain now! Many thanks again for your time and advice. With good wishes."

"I am glad I came here, you have done a good job on my back and shown me how to exercise it."

"Before seeing Kate, I had terrible lower back problems. Kate rightly diagnosed a disc problem, forwarding me to a back surgeon. Following an MRI scan I have had several visits to Kate and my back is now better than it's been for a very long time all this is down to Kate. Thank you very much."

"Since suffering a slipped disc towards the end of last year and entering Kate's clinic unable to stand upright, Kate has provided invaluable service and treatment, as well as helping me understand the problem I had and teach me self help techniques. Not only am I now comfortable, I am painkiller free, far more active than I ever was and confident in taking on challenges I thought beyond me. Thanks Kate, you've been fantastic."

"Helped show me different exercises to help me with my back. Stopped me being worried about my pain recurring."

"I previously had a lot of back ache which caused loss of sleep. The physio sessions have helped me tremendously and I can now sleep and am more active. Many thanks."

"I fell off a horse at speed which left me with stiffness in my lower back. The treatment I received from The Markland Clinic was marvellous. I now have less stiffness and pain and more flexibility."

"My experience of dealing with The Markland Clinic has been very positive, as a patient I have been dealt with in a very professional and relaxed way. I was suffering low back pain, probably caused by poor posture. Treatment for the initial problem worked almost immediately. As well as curing the back pain Kate has made me more aware of the importance of correct posture and of exercises I can do to help myself."

"After many years of suffering with low back pain I have no hesitation in recommending The Markland Clinic and the McKenzie method of treatment to anybody who is experiencing low back pain. I have learnt to live with my back pain but the series of exercises that Kate recommended has allowed me to alleviate my low back pain whenever I feel I need to do so."

"Over a very short period of time my problems were diagnosed and remedial action was given immediately. By carrying out simple exercises at home, improvement in my back condition was extremely quick and effective."

"Before I sought advice with Kate I had been experiencing ongoing pain in my Achilles tendon which had bothered me when walking and prevented me from sprinting. Last week I attempted a sprint for the first time for nearly a year. Not only did I manage it but I repeated it several times and I completed the longest walk we have done this year, near enough 17 miles. I'm continuing the exercises she gave me, though I'm finding that I don't need to do so many, and what is really exciting is that I feel confident of pushing without the fear that I'll be lame for days if I do. I see myself getting back to complete normality quite quickly now."

"May thanks. You have helped me enormously. I admire your skill in treating problems such as post-bunion operations! and am sure you cure more serious problems. I enjoyed the time you spent helping me. I shall persevere with all the exercises you advised. "

"Kate has been a tremendous help to me. When I broke my foot I had problems with my ankle and walking, her help and advice worked very well for me. I also find her a very helpful, happy, smiley lady."

"I had a knee injury playing rugby and after going to Kate my knee is transformed and I am now able to play again-thanks so much Kate."

"Stuart is helping me improve the strength in both knees that have been previously dislocated so I can return to sport."

"Kate works hard to improve my knee and has a great understanding of physio"

"I had trouble with my knee as a result of playing rugby last summer. I'd not really known the value of good quality physio, but after visiting The Markland Clinic I was given a full diagnosis of the problem and the best path to take to solve it. I followed Kate's advice and it wasn't long before my knee was strong again! I'm really happy!"

"As a local Orthopaedic Surgeon, I have come to recognise Kate's abilities through my patients. Sometimes reports from patients about their experiences of physiotherapy are not exactly glowing and the outcomes are a bit hit and miss. However, patients of mine who have seen Kate have been completely transformed by her work! I will definitely be sending her more in the future."

"As a spine surgeon, I had lots of discussion with Kate about different modalities of treatment. I found Kate to be systematic in her approach and knowledgeable. Certainly Kate had great experience from the courses she attended, and also I could tell that she has got great clinical experience by properly assessing her patients with great ability of spotting the right diagnosis."

"I am a Hospital Surgeon and a friend recommended that I see Kate regarding my chronic lower back symptoms. Kate succeeded, where many had previously failed, using the McKenzie method. I strongly believe that Kate's enthusiasm and empathy is the reason why she continues to be so successful in her field."

"In preparation for my first marathon, Kate has been instrumental in diagnosis and giving remedial advice for a weak knee which has plagued me for some time. Home exercises and video online analysis have been fantastic and I now run soundly."

"Finding a great physio is a nightmare and I found it an expensive one as I seemed to be going so often after my last skiing injury. Kate's methods are different and so encouraging and engaging. Being given exercises to do every day made me feel that I was helping myself too and that was great as I'd felt totally dependent on other physios and wasn't making any progress. Why can't all physios be like Kate?"

"No nonsense approach to getting their clients back on the road to recovery and fit for the rigours that life throws their way!"

"Kate's dedication to the fixing the root cause of problems is what sets her apart and makes her an excellent physio. Rather than just making you feel better, the focus is on what's causing the problem, how you can fix it yourself and how you can stop it ever happening again. That makes the difference between a good physio and a great physio."
