"Spoke to Tom over the phone for advice on a shoulder injury before going to visit him. I had one appointment and was given a number of exercises to help with my injury. Within 3 weeks everything felt fine and I was back in the gym. Would recommend to any of my friends."

Rachel D

"I’ve been to visit Tom twice with injuries. Both times he has been excellent, offering insight into the injuries, their causes and how to overcome them. With a programme of easy to follow exercises, stretches and general advice I was back out and running much sooner than I first feared."

Andy C

"I had a great post-marathon recovery massage. Before I couldn’t walk up or down stairs. However, after my session I could do both and was back running the next day. Highly recommend."

Mike P

"Many thanks for your help and advice following my recent foot injury. Your careful assessment and follow-up care meant that I have been back to running far quicker than I thought. I also avoided a lengthy wait for x-rays as you rightly assessed my injury as bruising. Highly recommended!"

Tom H

"Having worked with Tom over the past few years I have seen a marked improvement in my knee. Tom’s approach is professional as well as personal and I felt that Tom’s focus on my knee problem along with his high level of knowledge helped me achieve the results required."

Mark W

"Thanks so much Team TAP for all your help and support. With your good work in spite of bad back injury I made it across the finish line"

Ciara F

"Great results from working with Tom Astley Physiotherapy – suffering from RSI and C-tunnel and his exercises and knowledge have been invaluable with huge improvement."

Gavin C

"A month ago I had ITB issues with my knee and given that I couldn't even get through 2 miles I had given up hope on doing the London Marathon. Tom completely turned things around with brilliant advice on strengthening exercises and stretching. I only needed 3 sessions. I did 20 miles unscathed last week and now I am raring to take on the marathon. Top work."
