Below are some testimonials from some of the athletes we've treated we would like to thank them all for their comments:

"I have been seeing 'Athlete Matters' for a while now, mainly
as an effective method of helping to prevent injuries during
the high volume of training and racing I do. I now see my visits
to 'Athlete Matters' as an important part of my whole training programme. 'Athlete Matters' are very professional, friendly and willing to go the extra mile when a visit is required at short notice."		 Phill Huff
(VC Raphael Pro Track Cyclist)

"Having recently undergone two spinal procedures in the last three years I was in desperate need of top rehabilitation in order to prevent the same injury occurring again and again. Immediately on arriving at the clinic athlete matters were able to recognise the problem, which no other specialists seemed able to do. Bringing to my attention the root cause, tailoring a custom designed plan, which they innovated directly to my sport, professional track cycling, this in turn enabled me after many years to begin properly healing, completely changing my life for the better. Many thanks Duncan ‘you’re a genius’; I look forward to working more with you later in the year to prevent any further injuries."

 "I have competed internationally at athletics
and multisports since school but was involved in a bad cycling accident, during the World Duathlon Championships in Belgium in 2004. This left me with residual problems, which had prevented me reaching my pre accident performance levels for two and a half years. 'Athlete Matters', have been of invaluable assistance helping me on the road back to recovery. Since they have been treating me, I have now broken my personal best times and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them. "		  Matt Barnes
 (Former UK no.1 Modern Pentathlon/Northern 1500m Champion 2004)

 "I hold Athlete Matters in high regard, not least because of their expertise in diagnosing problems but also in their ability to provide advice on how to adapt your routines so that you can get back to training as quickly as possible after an injury. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone."
Hannah Lancashire

Swimmer/ Triathlete

(3rd place 17-18 years 100m freestyle National Championships
/Olympic Trials 2000, 2nd place England International Team
4 x 100m freestyle relay Antwerp Belgium 2000,
1st place Cat D Nantwich Sprint Triathlon 2006,
5.5 miles Coniston 2hrs 3mins 2007).

 I first used Athlete Matters after a road bike accident in 2006.  I needed quick rehabilitation to enable me to continue to compete.  They were very thorough with their examination and quickly diagnosed the problem.  After 6 treatments and a series of strengthening exercises I was able to train again and soon my knee was back to normal.  I was so impressed with the treatment and advice I received that when I decided to enter my first marathon I knew that I would need their help.  I am prone to running injuries and using Athlete Matters for injury prevention, support and guidance has enabled me to progress through the training required.  I now consider physiotherapy as a preventative measure rather than a cure.  I fully recommend using Athlete Matters and I will be continuing to visit once I return to open water swimming.

"Since I've been involved in athletics I've realised how important it is to have a top class team around you, athlete matters are a key part of my team they provide all my injury prevention and treatment needs and have helped my development in stepping up to World class level of competition. Athlete matters - its about time more people understood that !"

John Brown

"For the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of soft tissue and structural sports injuries, in my opinion Athlete Matters set the standard to which others aspire."
Gerry ONeill
(Irish International distance runner/ National vets 5k road champion 2008)

 "As a competitive athlete for the last 25 years, few things in life are more important to me than my sport. Having visited many practitioners in this time, I entrust all of my physiotherapy and rehabilitation requirements to athlete matters as their depth of knowledge, quality of care and empathy in dealing with my various conditions was simply unsurpassed.The only physiotherapist I have ever encountered who didn't tell me immediately to stop running. For that reason alone, athlete matters are definitely worth a visit if you're serious about your sport."
Matthew Moorhouse

( Duathlete NationalChampion 2006/ World Runner up 2007/ World Elite GB Long Distance 2007/ Personal trainer)
"Following years of being bounced from Physios to Specialists, Duncan has helped guide me back to competition. He has rehabilitated me through a complex series of injuries when I thought I would no longer be able to compete and now with his continued involvement, I can look to the future with optimism of reaching my potential."
