Comments and testimonials from previous clients:

Aaron Carpenter (former international rugby player for Canada)

Lindsay Whitaker is an excellent therapist that has a wide variety of skills. She is very good at preparing rehabilitation programs to help athletes recover from any number of injuries. In addition, Lindsay is knowledgeable in terms of sports injuries in particular rugby. She has a good work ethic and is very organised in her work specifically in tracking injuries and the recovery process.

Robin Copeland (rugby player, Ireland, Connacht, Munster and Cardiff Blues)

I have been a professional rugby player for two years now and have had the good fortune of having Lindsay as my sports rehabilitator for this time. Her passion and commitment to what she does is very clear for all to see and the depth of treatment and commitment she shows to each patient always ensure the quickest route to recovery. From her knowledge and understanding of the rehab exercises she gives her patients, to the massages and strapping of injuries, the quality and consistency has never dropped. I very much look forward to working with her in the future but hopefully just for minor injuries.

Tom Jarvis (rugby player, England Counties and Stourbridge RFC)

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Lindsay Whitaker. I began treatment with her and immediately noticed the results. I’ve been to many physios, osteopaths and chiropractors before and haven’t needed to see one since receiving treatments from Lindsay. She was outstanding in evaluating and treating my lower back. She was welcoming and easy to approach and ask questions. She always treated me with respect and professionalism. I will continue to recommend her to anyone I know in need of extremely competent physical therapy with a smile!!
