I began seeing Adrian for major pain in my rotator cuffs and neck pain which was not allowing me to do any shoulder work at the gym. Over time, Adrian was able to completely remove this pain and I now am able to work out better than before. Adrian was able to help me with any issues that surfaced over my time seeing him and my body is better for it. I don't know what I would have done without Adrian's ability to repair my body on several occasions.
Not only is he a healthcare professional, he has one of the best customer service perspectives I have ever experienced anywhere. I would, and have, highly recommend Adrian for your healthcare needs.

Hello Adrian,
I thought I would send you a note to say thank you for all of your help over the past few months or so.
I have to say that after my slipped disc and consequent advice from my Consultant recommending a lifestyle change, I had depressing visions of me living with a walking stick and struggling with basic movement well before my time at 40. I guess I am not alone in that I worked long hours in an office and didn't regulate my diet and exercise properly, if at all. The resulting injury was likely due to too many years of neglect.
So, I decided to take this injury as a "wake up call" for myself. The first thing to do was find a good physiotherapist to help me recover which is when I called The Body Group and spoke to Jenny, she then booked a session with you at my home as I was unable to walk very far at this point. I remember very clearly the first visit to my house and the limitation of my movement. However what followed after subsequent sessions was a pretty remarkable recovery for me. In a relatively short space of time I regained movement, strength and flexibility. In conjunction with your treatment I started to change my lifestyle, firstly with simple things such as new office chair, new chair at home, supportive pillow etc., this followed with regular stretching and manageable exercise that I could easily fit into my day between sessions with yourself.
Over the next 3 months I lost approximately 6 inches from my waist and I am now fitter and healthier than before my injury. I don't think it is too strong to say I feel 10 years younger, look much better and have a lot more energy. Although I had to do things for myself in addition to sessions with yourself I am in no doubt that your treatment was quite literally the foundation for my recovery. Now of course I visit you less frequently but I still benefit hugely from our sessions and I look forward to seeing how my general fitness and health will improve over the coming months.
Once again, thank you for all of your help in aiding my recovery. Please use this letter as a wholehearted recommendation, I will have no hesitation in recommending you and your professional organization to my colleagues, friends and family (indeed I already have).
Many thanks, Gary
