SPEAR Physiotherapy @ ASV

I suffered for repeating sciatica and spine pain for many years. Doctors just bothered prescribing plenty of painkillers instead of finding the root cause, I was trying a chiropractor treatment/therapy before but I wasn’t improving with my condition. But I can recommend physiotherapy, it really does help. I had messages as well as exercise recommendations tailored to my needs. SPEAR has a professional team, including Leanne Reid who was the one treating me and did a fabulous job. She had great knowledge and a fantastic approach towards the customer. Thank you.

After some lengthy issues with my Achilles, I went in to see James. James had me back running high mileage again in no time. He didn’t just give me exercises and send me home, he helped me understand the injury and to prevent it moving forward. I couldn’t recommend James enough. I just wish I went in to see him sooner!

Mere weeks before my first marathon I injured my foot following a long run. I had been recommended SPEAR physiotherapy by a friend and specifically Connor Hamilton. I was initially able to book an appointment within a couple days of inquiring and during this first session Connor was quickly able to pin-point the cause of my discomfort and how it could be prevented going forward. In this first session he was also able to work on the muscles to help relive some of the pain and provided me with exercises to complete, also setting out a recommended training program to follow until our next session. By the following session I had already felt the improvements in my foot and Connors reassessment of it confirmed this. During this session Connor also took me out onto the ASV athletics track where he observed my running style and was able to suggest some refinements. Ultimately I was able to complete my marathon the week following this session - something that may not have been possible without Connors help.

Appointment with James Cruickshank with regards to a niggle in my left knee. cannot recommend James highly enough. He is professional and knowledgeable. Gives you realistic time frames for getting back to running

I had a session with Connor today after having suffered with excruciating back pain for 4 days. Connor’s manner was superb - compassionate, understanding and made me feel at ease. He was able to assess my physical challenges quickly and immediately helped the problem with deep tissue massage. I was then talked through the underlying problems in a way that made me fully understand. He also walked me through exercises to continue working on at home with steps to extend this as well. I was able to walk out with vastly improved mobility and hugely reduced pain. Highly recommend his service.
