Sacha Jones / 20th June 2011

I was recommended to see Sarah at Health and Fitness Solutions from a physiotherapist in my home town of Auckland, New Zealand. I was in a lot of pain due to re-occurring issues with my rib and spinal joints and had been unable to play tennis for the previous five weeks. As well as my pain I had extremely limited flexibility through my upper spine which required a lot of work and treatment. I had four weeks to get pain free in time to play in Wimbledon and was receiving treatment on my rib, shoulder and back three to four times a week from Sarah.

I couldn’t have been more impressed with the professionalism, knowledge and commitment I received, which ultimately got me pain free in time to
compete and improved my flexibility and range of movement immensely – something very key given the nature of my sport.

Having spent four weeks working with Sarah at HFS and seeing the results first hand I can highly recommend her to any other person or athlete.

I first found out about Health and Fitness Solutions (HFS) through an organisation called TASS (Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme). I was suffering from lower back pain throughout my previous season when my physio highlighted the fact that the pain caused to my back maybe because of the engineering of my feet.

As I am involved with TASS, they recommended Wayne Edwards as a Podiatrist who could help me with my on going problem. I had a consultation/fitting with him, he was very professional, helpful, knowledgeable, plus, I learned a lot about my feet and why I was getting back pains. I now have my specially made insoles which double up as I can play with them and use them casually in my normal shoes, which is a bonus, and more importantly I now have no back pain at all. I would highly recommend Wayne Edwards at HFS to any other person or professional athlete.

Craig Brown / 6th April 2011

I grew up in the rough area of Peckham, South London and started Taekwondo when I was 11 years old. A leaflet was handed out at my school and I begged my mum to take me to the class so I could be just like my idols, Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali.

Taekwondo has kept me on the straight and narrow, away from negativity which could have easily sent me down a very different path. It has also equipped me with valuable life skills and values which have shaped me into the athlete and individual I am today. For 6 years up to November 2009 I was based in Loughborough then Manchester training full time with the National Taekwondo Academy. Since leaving the Academy I have moved back to London and continued with my own training program and competing regularly. I have opened up my own club “Positive Impact” which is aimed at the local problematic community, so hopefully I can have a “positive Impact” on their lives like my first club and instructors had on my life.

Competing in Athens Olympics (2004) was an amazing experience that left me even more focused and intent on my ultimate dream which is to be an Olympic medallist. Due to injury I had to miss out on Beijing 2008 but now I am fully fit, fully determined with one goal …….. London 2012

Dear Greg and Wayne,

Just wanted to say that I have done my half marathon for Royal Parks yesterday and finished in an amazing time 01:57:18 and place 4095 out of 12,500 participants.

I would have never been able to even contemplate to take part if it weren’t for your help – the physio sessions with Greg and the insoles and my new super Brookes trainers recommended by Wayne.

So just wanted to say Thank You for all your help and send you a few pictures from the race.

I am now considering the London Marathon in 2012!

All the best

About HFS Clinics

Formerly known as Health and Fitness Solutions, HFS Clinics was created in 2003 by its Directors to help fill the growing need of a population which has continued to become more sedentary and experience higher levels of associated pain and injury.

Lots of us end up finding that our attempts to improve our health through exercise actually results in things becoming worse not better.  The stress we deliberately place on ourselves as we work and exercise often causes our tendons, ligaments and joints to deteriorate due to poor postures and habitual patterns of movement.

Through understanding the clinical and lifestyle needs of the population, HFS has developed an integrated programme of specialist physiotherapy, postural correction, exercise rehabilitation (including clinical Pilates), ergonomics and podiatry which allows people to then exercise without undue risk of developing pain and injury.

Far too often the treatment of spinal and sports injury simply focuses of treating people’s immediate symptoms and fails to really address the underlying issues that cause pain and injury in the first place.  As a result we are seeing a growing number of patients with previously failed treatments as well as increasingly chronic problems.

At HFS Clinics we are able to consistently demonstrate excellent treatment outcomes and high levels of patient satisfaction and the reputation we have developed and maintained over the years has lead to a considerable number of other Specialists and organisations working with us.  All clinicians at HFS share the same clinical philosophy and under go the same internal programme of furthering education.

We are committed to continuous improvement in both clinical and customer services.

We are Dedicated to Getting Better

Our current clinics are in Aldgate (EC3), Liverpool Street (EC1), Harley Street (W1) and West Hampstead (NW6)
