I have had 5 sessions with Alex, and have been very impressed with how much he has helped 3 rugby injuries i have had problems with for years. I only started 2 months ago and have seen a significant improvement with pain and mobility. I have already recommended multiple people to try this as it has really helped me in all aspects if life. I will definitely keep attending and urge anyone else who have any issues to give it a try.

I've been going here for a number of years for various sports related injuries and niggles. I've always received clear, practical instruction with a realistic path and timeline back to fitness. I've happily recommended friends to go here before too, who also had a good experience.

I recently had a free 15 minute consultation with Stuart for ongoing knee pain. What a fantastic service to offer. By filling in a detailed, easy to complete form in advance, I had a really informative and useful chat with Stuart over the phone which really helped me get a full understanding of the issue and a firm steer as to the course of treatment. No pressure to continue with a paid ongoing treatment plan but very helpful to know the option is there should I need to return to it.

Having sustained an injury to my spine I was reffered to Ciara for physio, to say that I was happy would be an understatement I felt that Ciara was always welcoming when I arrived she listened to any concerns that I had about my injury and the consequences of it and through her guidance and encouragement she helped me back to fitness. I felt that it would have been easy to dwell on the pain and imagine that I would never recover (which is not me) but Ciara coached me back to fitness and pointed me in the correct direction to recovery. I recommend Ciara to my friends, students and family as I have had nothing but a professional and positive experience. She is a great physio not my first but definitely the best.

I was recommended to Health by Science from a friend, I saw Ciara regarding shoulder pain that I had, I got exercises to do each week and it really helped, there was no hard sell to keep coming back as I had experienced with another Physio I used a few years ago. It has now been 3 months since I last saw Ciara and my shoulder is so much better, I do the exercises a couple of times a week and it has made such a difference. I would not hesitate to see Ciara again in the future if I required further assistance, she was a really lovely person.

Alex took time to understand my needs alongside my injury (knee replacement). This was really important to me. After my sessions with Alex I went from walking with crutches to completing a 190km bike ride with friends. Couldn't have done it without him.

I needed a massage as soon as possible as I had lots of pressure on my neck giving me headache. I've called the clinic, Miko answered and gave me an appointment for the same day at 20:30. I didn't expect to get an appointment so quickly and at that time! Absolutely lovely!

Miko was a lovely guy, we've been chatting during the session and I could tell the passion he has for his job! I will definitely go back soon!

An amazing team with great knowledge and care!
As a part of my Sport Science studies I have been given the amazing opportunity to work beside and learn from the amazing team at Health by Science in both their stroke survivors class and strength and conditioning class with Stuart. Whilst in my placement I have seen the care and respect they have for there clients. From day one I have been continually impressed with their depth of knowledge and organisation. The team at Health by Science use the latest and most relevant research to deliver brilliant session and I can’t thank them enough for what they have taught me.
Honestly a brilliant team and can’t recommend enough!

I have been volunteering with HBS in their Stroke Rehab class for a few months and love their positive, fun approach to exercise, rehabilitation and service to others. The team are supportive and a constant source of encouragement to the class. They use personalised, achievable goal setting to maintain motivation and focus every week and provide reminders of the progress being made.
Any stroke survivor can tell you of the frustrations and difficulties they encounter due to their life altering problems post stroke. Exercise is important to everyone but especially in those who have lost function in some way. HBS offer individually tailored plans to address these problems and help you adapt to make tasks easier. They help you to push your rehab to try and regain the functional movement lost.
Their holistic approach of strength and mobility exercise, along with nutrition, aim to help you improve your function and quality of life. The team are highly knowledgeable in their area and keep up to date with the latest research. This has benefitted me by providing food for thought throughout my studies. More importantly, it benefits you as they can pass on their evidence based advice and exercise to aid you in achieving the best results from your training.
While working with HBS I have seen huge improvements within the class. I would highly recommend contacting HBS if you are considering improving you own fitness and quality of life. They provide a safe and comfortable environment for you to push yourself to regain confidence in yourself and your abilities.
