After having my second child I started to suffer from chronic nerve pain in my hands and wrists,…read morewhich later traveled up into my arms. The pain increased as my baby grew in strength and weight. Before I started treatment with the Leeds Physiotherapy Clinic I was in acute all consuming pain on a daily basis, unable to go for more than a few minutes without thinking of the pain, crying out every time my toddler bashed my hands or arms or needed me to dress him and on the brink of tears every time my 7 month old baby cried to be picked up or held. It was debilitating and I was spiraling into depression as a result. Prior to attending the Leeds Physiotherapy Clinic I saw two physios in London, where I live, but both failed to properly diagnose the problem and gave me treatment and exercises that only increased the pain. Then on my brother's recommendation I saw his Physiotherapist, Ms Sarah Field, at the Leeds Physiotherapy Clinic. She was instantly able to properly diagnose the source of my pain and explain it in language and terms that I could understand. She gave me treatment which instantly relieved the pain and as a result of this treatment as well as the advice she gave me on my posture and sleeping positions and the exercises she instructed me to carry out on a daily basis, I now have pain free days and the pain I do have is no longer acute or debilitating. Prior to attending the Leeds Physiotherapy Clinic I would have described the pain I was in as being 9 on a scale of 1-10 but after following her advice and just three 1 hour sessions of treatment with Ms Sarah Field across course of three weeks, I would now describe it as being only 1/2 most days on the same pain scale and some days the pain is completely absent. I am now able to lift and hold my baby again without wanting to cry.

I have never visited another osteopath but Sarah, the one at The Natural Health Centre has been…read moresuch a help I don't think I ever will. I became rather despondent when my shoulder began to hurt earlier this year. I do a lot of yoga and with this constant dull ache I simply couldn't attend the classes I had been, or do my own practice. I wanted to see an osteopath because of their holistic approach to the body; they manipulate bones as well as doing muscle work. Her approach is very holistic as she asked me more about my medical history and general state of health more than an GP has before. As we went through this I talked about my yoga practice and it turns out that Sarah is a yoga teacher! I could not have asked for anything more as she understands what I am doing with my body and why it might hurt as a result. As my bones get clicked and muscles massaged my diet is always asked about, making sure I get enough vitamin B and Iron. The receptionist is a yoga teacher as well and is always willing to have a good chat about anything from yoga to The Archers. The osteopath is in most days and a homeopath or acupuncturist can be seen by appointment.

I had never had back problems until a year ago, but when it went it really hurt! After a couple of…read moreappointments with Sarah my back was feeling much, much better and a couple more sorted it out properly. As well and manipulating my back to fix the immediate problem, Sarah was great with advice on how to help - exercises, posture, seat advice, etc. For anyone who is a member of Leeds Hospital Fund, Sarah is registered with all the professional bodies that they recognise so your fees can be claimed back through LHF.

This is great: a gym for people who hate normal gyms. Tops is small and friendly with chatty,…read morehelpful staff. It offers a range of different services including physio, massage and spray tans, and gym itself, which is located upstairs. As it is small, it doesn't have quite the same range of equipment as the big chains - there are 2 cross trainers, 2 rowing machines, 4 bikes, 4 running machines as well as an assortment of other machines I don't know the name of! In short, they have everything you need and I've never had to wait to use anything. Everything's always clean, including the 2 changing rooms which are small but have everything you need - including showers and a sauna! One of the best things is that they have ladies' days (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) and mens' days (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) with Sunday as a mixed day. I found this (and the small size) made the gym less intimidating, whilst still leaving you with plenty of workout options. The staff and very happy to design you a workout free of charge, and you can also book personal trainer sessions or join a range of different excercise classes. It's also great value for money - £5 a session or £25 a month when I was a member during the summer.
