Darren inspired confidence from the first consultation. He takes time to understand and provide treatments I have been plagued with lower back neck and shoulder pain which to be honest was getting me down. These problems have now improved dramatically and I can now at last see a pain free future.

I was given Darren’s contact details by a friend who heard about him from another friend. Within my first couple of visits Darren had diagnosed the likely problem, arranged an MRI scan and recommended further action.Now 10 days post op I’m doing really well and am so greatful for the prompt and ongoing attention.

I love to ride my bike, and had a trip planned to ride some of the great Pyrenean mountains made famous by the Tour de France. Six weeks before the trip I had a car accident that left me with lower back pain so intense and restrictive that I needed help to put my shoes on. It hurt. A lot.I went to see Dave at Newcastle Physiotherapy who diagnosed a bulging disc in my lower back pressing on my sciatic nerve. At that point my chances of riding 5-6 hours a day in the Pyrenees looked bleak, and there was a real possibility of long-term damage.For the next 6 weeks I saw Dave once or twice a week. Through a combination of sports massage, joint manipulation, pressing on trigger points to relax my stiffened muscles and a series of stretches and exercises to be performed at home I made great progress. I’ll be honest and say the treatment was often uncomfortable but Dave took the time to explain what he was doing and why, and to make sure I was ok. From my rapid progress it quickly became evident that he knows exactly what he’stalking about (except when it comes to the football team he supports) and has healing hands to match.I’m just back from having ridden through the clouds to emerge at the top of the Col du Tourmalet. It was an utterly breathtaking ride (literally and metaphorically!) and one I wouldn’t have managed without Dave’s treatment and advice. He is now starting to build up an exercise programme that will strengthen my torso, protect my back for the long-term and keep me riding my bike.

Darren’s analytical approach combined with his impressive knowledge has allowed him to diagnose and treat a very complex problem that has plagued me for over a year and other physiotherapists have failed to solve- his attention to detail is what has set him apart from the other therapists I have visited
