Testimonals from Clients
Abbey Physiotherapy thrives on recommendations from clients we have helped in the past. Here are just a small selection of comments from some of our satisfied customers:
| "As head coach of Broadstreet RFC in Coventry, I need to have the welfare and interest of my players at heart, so when one of them has an injury, I have to look for a professional physiotherapy practice for their rehabilitation, this I have found with Alison at the Abbey clinic. Alison's knowledge and understanding of sports injuries has had an impact on the speedy return of my players back on to the sports field. I have no problem in recommending anyone who is looking to receive top quality physiotherapy to Abbey Physiotherapy." | ||
| Stuart Hall - Head Coach, Broadstreet RFC | ||
| "I had a course of treatment with Alison recently and found that she was very thorough and painstaking. The Treatment Room was immaculately clean and Alison always had time to listen to me and ask questions about my progress. Her massage and manipulation were both firm and positive, but, at the same time she was careful, and caring and made every effort to explain to me what she was doing and why. I felt that she really cared about finding out exactly what was wrong with me and did not rest until she had got to the bottom of it. She kept details of my treatment and the results and I can recommend her expertise in Acupuncture. I found that, after I had been to see her, I was a lot more comfortable and this improvement lasted for quite a while." | ||

| "Abbey Physiotherapy is a very friendly and professional clinic, one I would not hestitate to recommend and use again" | ||
| Joan Hall - Private client | ||
| "On behalf of several members of my family, it is with confidence that I can recommend Catherine Picton of
Abbey Physiotherapy, Nuneaton. Over the past two years, we have all received excellent treatment from
Catherine for varying problems, ranging from back to shoulder and elbow injuries. On every occasion, Catherine has
been successful in administering relief when at times, the discomfort was almost unbearable. She has offered a
most impressive, professional, caring and thorough service with which we have all been extremely satisfied. We would have no hesitation in recommending Abbey Physiotherapy in the future" |

| "My daughter's consultant at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham, recommended Catherine at Abbey Physiotherapy as the best Physiotherapist for back problems. As my daughter is only 10, Catherine made her feel at ease at once. The treatment was tailored for her young age and has made a great deal of difference to her condition. My daughter always looked forward to her visit to the Abbey Clinic." | ||

| Having suffered multiple crush injuries to my chest, ribs, shoulder and neck as a result of a coach crash in Malaysia, I have been in numerous hospitals, and seen many doctors who advised me it could take 2 years to recover. Unfourtunatly the NHS leaves a lot to be desired in its level of care, and I can say without doubt if I had not been receiving private care from Abbey Physiotherapy, I would have been off work a lot longer than the 6 months I was. I may not even have made it back at all if Cathy Picton hadn't kept me moving, and manipulated my injuries at the times they tighten/seized up. I have received a number of sessions at Abbey, not only from Catherine, and can definitely recommend their professional and competent service. So much so, my wife and son have also been treated there. | ||
