"I contacted Andrew Buckley's physiotherapy practice to make an appointment for a problem with my wrist.

I have referred 2 members of my family in the past, but have never had cause to consult him myself. My husband and daughter have both been very pleased with their treatment and were better very quickly.

Speaking from a position of relative authority (I was a former Physiotherapy lecturer at St Mary's Hospital in Paddington), I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough.

His assessment was excellent, very thorough, and he diagnosed the problem proficiently. Andrew is highly professional, as are the rest of the team at his Canterbury practice and I'd have no hesitation in recommending him."

John Braithwaite, Canterbury

"When I first came to see you I was in extreme pain with my left hip and leg which quite frequently even disturbed my sleep. These problems which were brought on by playing golf, my main recreation, resulted from an arthritic hip.

Your treatment and the exercises you provided quickly reduced my pain and although you made it clear that there was no 'magic cure' for general wear and tear, I am now virtually pain free and can play as much golf as I wish. Your skills are exceptional and are delivered to give the patient confidence and positive expectations. As required by my insurer I saw a consultant surgeon recently who recommended that I continue with my Team Buckley treatment. At the moment I see no reason to suppose that I will ever need to see the surgeon again, in any capacity!"

"I just felt I had to write to you to thank you ever so much for your help in getting me back to normal after my shoulder operation. With over thirty years of competitive sport under my belt at both national and international level, I have been treated by a physio or two, but never have I been treated by someone with such outstanding knowledge, total professionalism and always a smile on his face. I am sure that my left shoulder which had the operation is now in better shape than my right! Many thanks."

David Chambers, Dover

"A chance meeting with an ex-marine colleague , just prior to my pending hip operation, pointed out that by attending Team Buckley I could expect faster rebuilding of muscle and flexibility post operation. I attended Team Buckley some two weeks prior to my operation for assessments to be made, then we started a programme two weeks post op of tissue manipulation in the area of the wound and general manipulation to the operated leg and spine. I was given a programme of exercises to do at home, all designed to aid quick and full recovery. I returned to full duties at my work in 6 weeks.

That was my first hip operation; twelve months later I had my other hip replaced. I repeated the programme with Team Buckley with the same good results. I now visit the team on a quarterly basis to get assessment of my general posture and mobility (being 67 years old). The idea is to head off any future age-related muscular and bodily aches and pains by working to a series of exercises prescribed by Team Buckley.

I would thoroughly recommend this programme to any person undergoing an operation on their hip. Team Buckley is well aware of the limitations of movements to the wound area being sympathetic with the manipulations prescribed to aid healing. I am quite convinced that the treatment , past and ongoing ,will benefit my good health now and into the future."

"My son recommended me to Team Buckley for ongoing back problems. I have been treated by Andrew and his colleagues and am really pleased with my progress. My job involves a lot of travelling so getting rid of the back pain has made a real difference day-to-day. I am now undergoing a preventative regime of exercises under Andrew's guidance."

"Troubled by back and hip pain I remembered how two of my colleagues at work had been treated by Andy and were enthusiastic to recommend him. After a few visits I benefited from his relaxed but professional approach and am now so much better; clearly I have a lot to be grateful for."

Julian Brazier, Canterbury

"Andrew has treated myself and children and has played a big role in my recovery from a series of injuries to my upper and lower spine and knees. He combines effective treatment with excellent advice on exercise and diet. I regularly recommend my friends and family to him."

"I was diagnosed as suffering from migraines by my doctor five years ago and was regularly taking medication. I was recommended to Andrew Buckley and with minimal treatment combined with regular exercise I have not had a migraine for two years."

Robert and Debbie Bagley, Canterbury
Mortgage Specialist and Accounts clerk

"My wife and I have both received treatment from Andrew and his colleagues for various injuries including back pain, neck pain and shin splints, all of which have been treated successfully via hands-on treatment and core stability exercises. We are both now feeling better, stronger and overall healthier and we are certain this is down to the expert advice given and encouragement by the clinic to join the gym."

Mark Patterson
Gillingham Football Club Centre of Excellence Manager

"Having worked together during my playing days at Gillingham Football Club, Andrew has helped me recover from many injuries including rehabilitation after my knee surgery. I regularly refer players and friends to him."

Dr Louise Mansfield
Senior Lecturer in the Sociology of Sport

"I injured my lower back doing a circuit training session and walked into Team Buckley one morning in tremendous pain and with limited movement. I did not have an appointment but Andrew moved his busy schedule to see me straight away. He was precise with his diagnosis and professional and effective with his treatment and within four sessions, over less than two weeks, I recovered perfectly. He is an enthusiastic, committed, knowledgeable and experienced professional who understands both the mechanics of injury and the emotions surrounding the injury process. I would highly recommend him to anyone but he has a particular specialism in dealing with injuries sustained in sporting activities."

Iain Mcbride, Ashford

"Injury is frustrating for any person. As a runner I am grateful for Andrew and his team to get me back on the road quickly and efficiently."

Nicola McBride, Ashford
Fitness Consultant

"Clinic treatments for our family have ranged from chronic back pain management to acute sports injuries. Andrew has seen us through rugby matches, gym training and half marathons. We are also delighted with the reliable, prompt, effective and appropriate service."

Roger Newson, Sandwich
Police Constable Kent Police

"I first went to see Andrew three years ago after another failed competitive comeback attempt. Andy diagnosed the problem, fixed it and provided me with a programme of exercises to improve my strength and performance. Over the years my regular visits to Andrew have kept me running around 40 miles a week and maintained my competitive performances. I have represented Kent Police at race events locally and nationally and running for Invicta East Kent I am able to compete regularly on the local Kent running circuit. I even achieved a sub 3 hour marathon in Dublin at the age of 45; I could not have done it without his support."
