These are the stories of people who had tried everything. Read what they found when they finally looked in the right place.
Every story on this page belongs to someone who was sitting where you are now. Someone who had been through the system. Who had tried the medication, the physio, the specialist referrals. Who had been told there was nothing wrong, or that they would simply have to manage it.
Someone who found, at the end of all that, that the answer was somewhere the system had never thought to look.
Read these not as testimonials. Read them as previews. What you are about to see is what becomes possible when the right tissue is finally found and addressed.
Most of our patients are pain free within 4 to 8 sessions.
Auli and Louise each recorded a short video after their treatment. Their own words, unscripted.
"My problems started back in 2013. My back just gave out on me for no apparent reason. The pain never went away, and by October 2017 it was getting a lot worse and starting to affect my day to day life. On 30th April 2018 I was in too much pain to get to work. My GP signed me off and I was unable to return for 11 months and became virtually housebound.
I saw a rheumatologist who diagnosed fibromyalgia. I was told there was no cure but prescribed medication. This had no effect at all. I felt like I was sinking with nowhere to turn.
I went along and met James. He made me feel so at ease and really listened to what I was saying. He didn't rush me, he wanted to know everything about the pain and how it had affected my life. James actually understood what I was talking about. He explained with videos and proof exactly what was going on in my body. I can't explain the relief I felt, I just sat and cried.
I got on the couch and James performed a taster treatment on one area. I almost fell over when I stood up. I was used to it being very painful and stiff but just after 20 minutes there was no pain and no stiffness.
James has given me my life back. I am now pain free. I can run up the stairs now instead of crawling up them. I'm playing with my grandchildren, can walk long distances, can go out dancing and am going back to work full time. James gave me the old me back after I thought I'd never see her again and for that I'll be eternally grateful."
"I have had fibromyalgia and chronic pain for over 20 years. I had been to every specialist, tried every treatment, and had come to accept that this was just my life now.
From the very first session with James I could feel the difference. He found the areas that every other practitioner had missed. It was literally the first session, there was such a release I felt like he'd created an actual hole in that area. Treatment is life changing.
I've sent people to James with fibromyalgia, back pain, sciatica and everything else and everyone has been helped, and I will continue to do so. If you are thinking about this, stop thinking and do it."
"I'm 36 and have suffered with back pain since I was 17 years old. This has ranged from dull aches and pains to episodes of being bed ridden and unable to get to the toilet unaided for days.
After trying NHS specialists, physios, chiropractors and researching exercises myself, I had given up. I had remained active through work and going to the gym, but struggled physically and mentally with not being able to stand up in public places for more than 15 minutes without pain, struggling with long car journeys and being unable to sit on chairs with no back support.
I tried Physology as a last resort before giving up and accepting that I would have to live with it for the rest of my life. James was the first person to sit and listen to my whole story, without rushing me out of the appointment. He assured me that I could be, and should be, pain free, so we started the treatments.
James is very skilled and got me out of pain quickly, but what I valued most from him was the knowledge he shared during the sessions. He helped me to understand how my body should be working and what had been causing my back problems for all of these years.
Don't give up on yourself until you've tried Physology."
"I was at the end of my tether when I reached out to James for help with back pain that I had suffered with for 28 years. I had spent those years seeing every specialist I could find, costing tens of thousands of pounds and still experiencing daily pain.
I'd lost hope and Physology was something that intrigued me as the reviews and results seemed so unreal. I arrived at my first session in a lot of pain as my back had gone again and didn't really know what to expect. I walked out pain free and astounded.
At that point I thought it might be some sort of fluke but two months on and I have just come back from a two week break in Thailand. Previously the thought of a 17-hour flight, hotel beds and pillows, and a lot of walking around in flip flops would have resulted in a lot of pill popping and tears. Not so this time. Whatever magic James has worked is miraculous. Not even a minute of pain experienced and I had the best holiday because of this.
James is so passionate about his work and has so much knowledge about the body and how it all works. I can't recommend Physology highly enough and have told everyone that I know about my experience."
"I had back pain and suspected Fibromyalgia for 4 years, getting worse month by month. I couldn't sleep through a full night or be active anymore. I had tried GP appointments and physio treatments, and nothing worked.
I saw Physology on Facebook, sent questions about Fibromyalgia, and they seemed to know what my issue was. I left my first session mind blown. James taught me so much about my body that I didn't know and explained everything with videos and pictures. The first treatment helped my pain instantly and then I never looked back.
I've had about ten treatments and that's got me my life back. Been pain free ever since. Thanks James."
"I suffered with excruciating back pain for over 8 years. I had been to every Chinese Doctor, Chiropractor, and GP under the sun. Finally, I think you may have cured me after just one session. I am eternally in your debt."
"I arrived at my first session with healthy scepticism. After all, I had seen dozens of doctors, had more tests than I knew existed, and what precisely was the chance of this random man having the answers?
James looked at my body in a way that no one else had. He explained what was happening in language I could actually understand. Not once did I feel dismissed or rushed. By the end of that first session I had felt a change I hadn't felt in years.
I have my life back. I would really recommend anyone suffering with similar pain to get in touch. Don't hesitate."
"25 years of pain. 25 years of being passed from specialist to specialist, of scans that showed nothing, of being told to manage it. James was the first person who actually understood what was happening. He didn't just treat the area that hurt. He found where it was actually coming from.
Knowing that I have my life back, feeling like I have a second chance to live the life I have always wanted, and knowing I can control that myself, is so freeing. If you have Fibromyalgia or chronic pain, I would say just don't even hesitate and get in touch with Physology."
"Ten years of back pain that my GP told me I would just have to live with. I felt like the area around the pain had just opened up after James worked on it. It felt like I had gained space in my joints and limbs where there used to be tension, pain and stiffness.
After each session I felt like a weight had been lifted from my body. I cannot recommend highly enough. Have told everyone I know about my experience."
"I had been told to live with the pain. I was told there was no cure but prescribed medication. My GP was particularly unsympathetic and basically told me that if I wasn't willing to take the drugs, what did I expect them to do.
For 20 years I wasn't believed about the severity of my pain. James believed me from the very first conversation. He didn't just say the right things. He showed me exactly what was happening and why. For the first time in two decades, I understood my own body. And then he fixed it."
"To understand my recovery, I think it is important to appreciate how bad it was before. I am a mum to two teenage boys and have been a teacher for almost 20 years. On 1st March 2009, while watching my eldest swim training, I managed to fall over after stepping on a non-slip surface. I managed to break both of my legs.
My right leg was decimated, and it took 3 surgeries and 10 months to get me to a stage where I could walk, drive and return to the classroom. I had spent 6 months in a wheelchair and a further 4 months on crutches learning to walk.
By the middle of 2010 I had begun to rediscover life. One afternoon, while on poolside, my back began to twinge and out of nowhere it suddenly seized leaving me curled up on the floor, struggling to breathe and unable to move. In the years that followed this happened more and more often. After each episode I noticed that I was not fully recovering. I was in pain almost daily and had started to struggle to trust myself to go out alone.
I was visiting my GP regularly. I had been for several MRI and CT scans, had a few thousand blood tests and seen a dozen different consultants with a range of specialisms, none of whom could find a cause or treatment. I had been sent to physio half a dozen times and been discharged each time.
In 2015 I was probably at my lowest point. Not only was I in constant pain in my back, I was now finding I was in pain everywhere. My arms and legs ached, burned and tingled all the time. I was struggling to remember what day it was and barely slept for a couple of hours a night. I was told by occupational health that I should probably consider leaving teaching.
I sat and sobbed in my GP's office when she told me she believed I had fibromyalgia. I was referred to a pain clinic and a rheumatologist. The pain clinic gave me a tens machine. I was now also regularly having to use a wheelchair if I needed to go anywhere.
I arrived at my first session with healthy scepticism. After all, I had seen dozens of doctors, had more tests than I knew existed, and what precisely was the chance of this random man having the answers?
The first big difference was that James wanted to listen to my story. All of it. He explained what fascia was and how it functions. I cannot tell you how much it meant to have someone explain to me what was happening in my body in a way that actually made sense.
It only took a further 2 treatments for me to realise I was literally fixed. I had zero pain. I was sleeping. I was walking and driving. Six months post treatment and I am still fighting fit. Knowing that I have my life back is so freeing. If you have fibromyalgia, I would say just don't even hesitate and get in touch with Physology."
"I have fibromyalgia and for around 3 years I have been unable to move my arm higher than in front of me. I lost most of my grip in my hand, dropped and smashed plates, dropped a lot of stuff on my foot. I couldn't reach anything in the cupboards or wash my own hair for a month.
I went to see James for a consultation and I cannot explain how in 1 hour my life changed. My shoulder was worked on for 20 minutes and I can now move my arm the best I have been able to for as long as I can remember.
James you have already changed my life and I cannot thank you enough. If you are thinking about this, stop thinking and do. I honestly couldn't recommend him more."
"Treatment is life changing. I had suffered with lower back pain since my teens and it affected my whole life. I had constant pain that was preventing me from doing any active sports or lifting without it cramping. I never reached excruciating pain but it was always at least a 5 out of 10 and enough to stop me living without having to think about it all the time.
I had physio, treatments, sports massage, and scans from professional sports clubs and through the NHS over several years. None of them could identify what was wrong and none of them helped.
Once I met James and Physology, it was literally the first session. There was such a release I felt like he had created an actual hole in that area. As I moved, I could feel zero pulling, like the whole area just opened up.
I finished in just a few weeks and have lived pain free from that ever since. Anyone looking for myofascial release or back pain relief, I would not even hesitate to recommend."
"After close to a year of various healthcare professionals assessing and treating my back injury gained from playing football, I chanced on James through a friend's referral just before I was to be sent for surgery through the NHS.
He was a breath of fresh air in terms of how he assessed and treated the injury. I went from hardly being able to walk to playing football again within about 2 months, rather than having to go under the knife.
James is a focussed and driven individual who is keen to help people in any way he can, not only through his job. So I will be forever grateful to him."
"As a professional cellist I rely on my body to do my job. When I developed severe pain in my wrist, shoulder and arm, I was unable to hold my bow to play. The medical world treated me with physio, ultrasound, painkillers, splints, and eventually an operation. Nothing they did made any difference.
James looked at and worked on my body in a way that no one else had done before. He spent time analysing my posture, looking for the sources of my problems, and explaining to me how they are all linked. After each session I felt like a weight had been lifted from my body. It felt like I had gained space in my joints and limbs where there used to be tension, pain and stiffness.
I am now pain free and performing professionally again. None of them look at the body the same way James does. I cannot recommend highly enough."
"I suffered with constant overuse injuries for two years before I hired James as my soft tissue specialist. Since I started working with him I have stayed injury free for over 3 years. In those three years I have broken 3 British records and become the third fastest British man in history over 20km.
James is without doubt the best soft tissue therapist I have ever worked with and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone, from elite athlete to someone just wanting to be free of pain."
"As a personal trainer I need to be able to demonstrate exercises and techniques to my clients. I had been suffering with lower back pain and hip flexor pain for years. I tried physio, sports massage, and chiropractor, all of which helped temporarily but nothing lasted.
James spent time looking for the sources of the problems, explaining to me how they are all linked, then gradually working on releasing the fascia. After each session the differences are noticeable. I am now training harder and for longer, and recovering much faster. None of them look at the body the same way James does."
"I had debilitating back spasms and pain that meant I could barely walk. When my back was particularly bad, my husband had to help me get in and out of chairs and up and down stairs. I couldn't do the housework or pick up my kids.
I had been told by medics that I had stenosis, crumbling vertebrae, a disk bulge and facet joint disease. Life seemed extremely bleak because the only option appeared to be risky back surgery.
Despite all the treatments I had tried, I still suffered from awful build-ups of tension in my shoulders and neck causing migraines. James looked at and worked on my body in a way that no one else had done before. After one treatment session with James I was moving better than I had before. After two I started to feel optimistic about a pain free future.
I can now run, do an hour of aerobics and walk wherever I want to. I have sent people to James with fibromyalgia, back pain, sciatica and everything else and everyone has been helped. I will continue to do so. If you are thinking about this, stop thinking and do it."
