I’ve been going here since 2003 and always receive brilliant service. I especially appreciate the holistic approach. The staff are very caring and feel like family.

I have suffered with Depression and PTSD for the last 30years. I have never been offered anything but medication, which I have dutifully taken. I felt I was managing. 4 years ago I was a passenger in a car accident, and had a severe whiplash injury which set me back. I was in constant pain, which in turn made my depression worse.

I was referred to Marion Physiotherapy by my doctor, who said Julie was very good with my type of injury. I had to wait a long time to get in to see her, but it has certainly been worth it.

My husband, who has constant back and knee pain, and myself enrolled in the 8 week course, which we have just completed. This course is a group course and the other participants are in all different situations with pain, but getting to know them and hearing their stories was wonderful. We actually became very bonded over the 8 weeks.

The approach focuses on how we deal with pain, our reactions to it, and how we can avoid feeling so much pain. It focuses on the relationship of pain, spinal cord and brain. It is not hocus pocus but information that makes a lot of sense once you learn how to read it. It is scientifically based on fact and requires no drugs.The phycologist, Ivan, is amazing. He gets into your inner feelings about your pain without making you feel like you are a nutter. The other 3 physios who help you through the exercise programme are also very well trained, friendly and great to work with. I think this course is the best thing I have done in many years and I feel so much better for having done it. I feel very lucky to have been able to be introduced to this course.
