I can't recommend James highly enough. He managed to treat and help me manage pain which I had been suffering for a long time and other health professionals mis-diagnosed. Very good physiotherapist.

Tremendous help and the relief
I had been suffering with back pain for many years, trying NHS Physio, chiropractors etc. where I started to finally give up and accept the pain. However in December 15 it got much worse to the degree that it hurt to stand or sit or doing anything and was affecting my day to day life. I started worrying at the age of 25 that I was never going to be pain free and normal again or worrying it was something worse.

I then went to a private hospital for various tests all looking for the worst case and once these all came back negative I was later referred to a specialist for back pain ÒJames DavisÓ. I have only had 7 sessions with James and I am almost back to my normal self. I have to admit when I was first referred to James/physiotherapy I was sceptical because I have been to NHS physio before and it never helped. How glad I am that I gave my referral a go and met James.

Thank you so much for all your help James. Your knowledge in my back pain and knowing everything that helped has been tremendous help and the relief now from not letting back pain rule my life. Thank you for helping me feel like a young person again and given me my youth back. I honestly didnÕt think I could go a minute let alone a day without thinking about the pain or letting it rule me.

I will continue with all the exercises and knowledge you bestowed to me and if I ever have problems again wonÕt hesitate to call you.

I could confidently and highly recommend James to other sufferers. His knowledge in chronic lower back pain is amazing. If you are as sceptical as I was prior treatment, try a session and you wonÕt leave without booking another and be on the road to a pain free life again.

After struggling with getting help from my GP and trying to get an appointment with an NHS Physiotherapist I opted for trying James' practice. From the first session James was able to correctly identify my problems and give me good advice for managing my injuries, this was a surprise for me - he pinpointed the cause and location of my injuries within 10 minutes from the start of the session. Over the space of several months James supported the process of recovery by giving me advice and treatment and 5 sessions later I was able to be discharged due to his treatment. I couldn't recommend him enough as a Physiotherapist, he is understanding and tailors his programmes and treatment exactly to your lifestyle, taking into account all variables of your daily routine and giving you advice on how to save money on expensive products. I will be recommending him to friends and family. Thank you James.

James is a brilliant physiotherapist, I can't thank him enough for the caring and professional service he provides.
I came into see James for the first time in a lot of pain with my neck, shoulder, and arm and was on some very strong pain killers, given to me by my local GP. I came into James consultation room unable to move properly and upon leaving I was able to get some movement back and was in less pain. I would recommend James to everyone that ever has a problem as not only is he able to give you your movement back but also puts your mind to rest and in a positive attitude to overcoming agony. If it wasn't for his help I wouldn't have been unable to return back to work.
Thankyou James

I would recommend James to anyone, He basically got me able to walk again after a nasty accident during an ice staking lesson! After months of the NHS being no help at all, I referred myself to James from a recommendation. James was thorough with explaining the problem and the exercises for me to do at home. After 5 sessions I was able to put my crutches down and walk freely. James is a very patient, kind and friendly man who can diagnose a problem within the first 10 minets of the consultation. He gave me so much reassurance that I would be able to get back to normality as soon as possible. I would 100% use James again in the future and I would recommend his services to anyone. The practice staff also make you feel incredibly welcome and there customer service skills are approachable. Thank you so much James for all of your help.

There are times in life when pain is unbearable and life is difficult. And, you become a pain in he butt to others around you. At such a time I contacted James for help. He is a genuinely patient-focussed man who cares about your health and wellbeing. He patiently and encouragingly worked with me to help me regain health, confidence and happiness. He is an expert who understands the needs of his patients and how to support them to move on in life. As a pharmacist I know about drugs but James knows about the body, it's weak points, and how to help patient start, maintain and control the journey back to health. I owe my health, happiness and renewed confidence to James, in whom I have complete trust. That is why I send friends and family to him now when they have a problem with pain. Without hesitation, I recommend James.

I have known James for many years, since 1992 in fact when he first came to work with me at Essex CCC after four years at Lords, on the recommendation of some of my players at the time. Physios in cricket spend a lot of their time looking afer bowlers and batsmen but fortunately I had just a few occasions to call upon his expertise when I was playing for Essex and England. I have used him more since I retired from playing cricket and he has always sorted me out quickly especially when I was the batting coach for England.
His approach to physiotherapy is very different and far more effective than other forms of physiotherapy, and I have seen a lot in my time, because he always treats the cause so that your pain or problem goes within a few treatments. James does not use machines but relies on his skills to assess movement problems and then gives the right exercises to get you better. I know he looks on the world stage for effective treatments with strong professional ties with Australia.

Nothing is too much trouble for him and if he feels the solution is not a physio thing he has an excellent network of medical consultants to call upon who can resolve the problem quickly. In professional sport it is vital to have someone to rely on to get you or the players under my jurisdiction better quickly and James seems to do that efficiently and without fuss. That is why I send my family along to him when the need arises and so I would thoroughly recommend anyone to use him. Thanks for all your help James, I really appreciate it.

I had been suffering from lower back pain for five months before I was referred to James by Prof John Dowell. Prior to my referral I had been treated by many well-meaning professionals who had given me conflicting advice. I was living in constant pain that had completely altered my life, I had given up working and any hope of a social life. Everyday tasks such as bending to reach into cupboards were beyond me, and I felt that I would never have a normal pain free life again. After starting my treatment with James within a few weeks I was 80% better, and I now have my life back. I have resumed work, my studies and going to the gym, and feel able to play an active role in my family as a wife and mother. Thank you so much for all your help James.

Good afternoon James

IÕm just writing to thank you for your treatment for my back. I have had a Òbad backÓ for years, mainly due to sciatica, in the last year the pain had become so bad, particularly in the morning, that I had a consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon. He recommended getting an appointment with yourself. I must admit to being sceptical at first. Over the years I have met many people claimed to be able to alleviate my problem. They all knew exactly what it was and they could cure the problem in no time at all. None were even remotely successful. You made no promises, simply stated what you thought my problem was and then demonstrated, to my entire satisfaction, that you were right. The exercises you showed me helped enormously and my back seems to be a little better each day. I have even been able to mix cement and build a garden wall, something that would have been out of the question a couple of months ago. Thank you again for all your help.
Kind regards

James has been my regular physiotherapist for the last two years and I have no hesitation in highly recommending him both for treating existing conditions and also for advising on preventive measures and exercises for those engaged in physically challenging activities. He always treats the cause rather than the symptoms which gives you both the quickest possible relief and also the tools to deal with it should discomfort occur at the same location in the future. This also means you usually only need a small number of sessions rather than having to go back constantly for the treatment of symptoms. He is exceptional at matching treatments and exercises to your lifestyle eg. use of exercise bands instead of free weights if you travel. He is also able to advise via Skype if you need assistance whilst travelling or abroad. I go to James for physical conditioning for my career as a professional pianist and I think he is exceptional: I'd recommend him to anyone, whether injured or wanting advice on preventative measures.
