Professional staff, reasonable price considering they can literally fix your body. I was experiencing pain for 5 years and then I went to Jersey Sport & Spinal Clinic and saw Lisa Mann and everything got so much better. She is highly knowledgeable and was able to very quickly identify what was wrong with my body and how to fix it. I had multiple sessions with Lisa and she was always super friendly, positive and effective. As well I learned a lot during my sessions which has helped me alter my exercise and stretching routines to prevent the issue I had from coming back. After my sessions with Lisa my body is feeling the best it has ever felt. I no longer feel physically restricted in my life. Before I visited Jersey Sport & Spinal Clinic I just assumed that nothing could be done and I would have to live with the pain and mobility-restrictions (I'm 24) - I WAS WRONG. Honestly one of the best things I have ever done visiting JS&SC :)

Could not recommend Jersey Sports and Spinal Clinic enough, After several weeks of pain at work I finally decided that I needed to see a physio. From my first appointment Alex came up with an ideal treatment plan that would get me back to feeling comfortable with my duties at work again. Even after the first session there was a noticeable change and after several weeks of treatment I have complete mobility and have been happily discharged from the clinic. Everyone I met there was welcoming and professional from the beginning until the end and I appreciate everything that was done to help me return to normal. Thank you so much guys!

After weeks of achilles pain when running, I finally made the call to Jersey Sports & Spinal. Luke was brilliant, quickly diagnosed the problem and put me on a tailored rehab exercise and return to running programme. I’d recommend Jersey Sports & Spinal to anyone with running injuries or niggles. The team is professional and friendly and the care and support is excellent. Also, the running specific S&C class is great for injury prevention (and lots of fun!) I’m now back running pain free. Thanks Luke, Kelsei and the team!

With the amazing help of Nigel and Lisa after slipping a disc in early June 2018, they had me back up on my feet and moving again within 6 weeks with their professional, kind and encouraging approach. The 1:1 physio sessions with Lisa were amazing. She was always professional, knowledgeable and understanding, resulting in benefits being seen from the outset. The pilates classes with Nigel and Kelly were challenging yet very enjoyable; they adapted exercise so that the session was inclusive. Following this event and with help and guidance from Lisa and Nigel, I joined a fantastic running group and managed to complete a C25K all which helped me get my confidence back. In keeping up the pilates classes and being supported and guided by Nigel, I started doing longer runs completing my first ever half marathon distance in June 2020. I know that a lot of this has been down to the constant help and advice from Nigel, Lisa and Kelly. In 2020, I joined Luke, Nigel and Caitlin's 'Running Strengthening and Conditioning' classes, which are very challenging and hard work, but I come out feeling so good. With their help and guidance, I went on to complete 5 virtual Half Marathons; each time getting a new PB. This year I have a much bigger challenge in sight and - I am condiment that with the continued help from the whole team at Jersey Sports and Spinal Clinic, through the 1:1 physio sessions with Lisa, Pilate classes with Nigel and Kelly, and Strengthening and Conditioning classes with Luke and Caitlin, I know I'll achieve my goals. The whole team are amazing! I can't recommend them enough; they all really have a deep understanding and thorough knowledge of their specialist areas. They are most importantly, friendly, approachable and easy to talk to. They are my first port of call when I have an injury. Thank you to the whole team for your continued support, help and guidance.
