I have greatly benefitted from treatments at Swindon Sports Therapy for many years now. Having had a serious road accident as a teenager I was left with movement difficulties in my back and left leg. More recently abdominal surgery has led to a much longer than expected recovery time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the treatment I have received from Dan ( and before Dan, Jamie) at SST has hugely improved my quality of life.Many thanks,Jane

My experience having massage treatment with Dan has been amazing. I am a massage therapist myself and often have pain related symptoms from my work which always gets better when I've received bodywork from Dan. Highly recommend.

I started at Swindon Sports Therapy barely able to walk due to knee pain. I'd already seen a number of professionals and done lots of physiotherapy, but with no improvement. After just one session with Dan, I could immediately see an improvement in strength and had a decrease in pain. A few months later, after lots of massage, encouragement, simple exercises and stretches I'm back to hiking through the hills again, without any pain. I'd highly recommend Swindon Sports Therapy!

Swindon Sports Therapy has helped me with some long term sporting injuries that I have had. The fantastic sessions have given me instant long term pain relief from these as well as ongoing support to keep me feeling at my best. Dan is straight to the point and quick to identify your pain with no messing and is quick to fix any issues you may have. Cannot recommend Swindon Sports Therapy enough!

I have been receiving treatment from Dan at Swindon Sports Therapy for nearly 2 years to compliment my strength and conditioning training (especially as I am approaching 40!). I cannot fault the care and attention that goes into every session, and I have felt generally much healthier and fitter as a result. Thank you!

Dan is a great professional physio. I’ve seen Dan for several different injuries, usually the more complex ones. Very methodical and gets to the bottom of the issue. Not only is there treatment on the table but always suggestions of on going stretches and other methods to help the injury at home.There’s never any pressure to book additional sessions, this is always my decision.Over lockdown all the correct measures were in place and I had no issues visiting the clinic over this time.In summary I would happily recommend Dan and Swindon Sports Therapy.

I have been going for quite some time and have always found that the pain that takes me there, does go away. Not magic of course, but good work done, sometimes it hurts to be cured... but it hurts anyway. So always grateful. Dan is a great physio... and I have no doubts in recommending them.

I have been attending Swindon Sports Therapy for some 10 years now receiving treatment for various strains, aches and pains, first with Jamie and now with Dan. I have always received first class treatment and what impresses me is that the nature of the treatment is always explained. I have a back problem, which is kept at bay with the treatment I receive. I have always found both Jamie and Dan professional, polite and engaging as therapists. My wife and one of my daughters have attended at times and been more than happy with their treatment. I wholeheartedly recommend Swindon Sports Therapy.

Great service and got me back to my normal self, after a prolonged knee injury Stuart was able to identify the issue straight away and put me right. I feel a lot better and this is down to Stuarts great treatment. Thank you.

I have been pleased with all of the sessions that I have had with Stuart for a problem that I was having with my hip. It has been amazing seeing and feeling the difference that just a few months have made and best of all, I can run again without any discomfort! A nice, easy-going environment and I found the sessions to be very informative in helping me to understand my injury.

I suffer with sciatica and when I went there first time I was little sceptical. I had 1 hour session after which I didn’t feel to much difference. Next day morning my leg was in bigger pain then before but little later my condition get so good I forgot which leg was injured.Thanks guys, can’t wait for other sessions

The best Physio by far!I've had 5 different Physiotherapists over the years and Dan is the best yet. Easy to work with, gives great 'at-home' exercise to do and has sorted all my sports injuries.

I booked an appointment with Dan to look at a shoulder injury that was causing me great discomfort performing various weight-based gym exercises. Over the 4 appointments, Dan spent time massaging and releasing any tightness in muscles connected with the injury (chest, neck, bicep, back) and also gave valuable insight into stretches and exercises to work on away from the sessions. After the sessions I am now free of any pain and have also gained the knowledge to prevent the injury reoccurring. Dan was brilliant and went above and beyond the therapy provided in the appointments by being on hand to answer any queries I had relating to other sports related injuries and also providing good content for homework with links to helpful Youtube videos.

I booked an appointment with Dan to, primarily, address the pain I had been experiencing in my Achilles that had stopped me running for a few months. On my first appointment Dan was brilliant in explaining after a full assessment, how a combination of other muscular issues in other parts of my body were contributing to that pain. From the very first appointment - to the subsequent 4 - Dan proceeded to massage, stretch and manipulate the muscle tightness out of my hip flexors, glutes, calf muscles, etc - which I have to say with all honesty had an immediate affect. After the few treatments I had, combined with "homework" of stretching exercises and massages, the effect was amazing....I am back running short distances pain free and couldn't be happier. Dan is extremely personable, courteous and very professional. I would highly recommend Dan and can't thank him enough.

I highly recommend Stuart. I went in with a long term painful foot problem which I previously tried treating myself. After one session I knew it would be solved. After a course of treatment I am now walking normally and its been amazing whats been achieved. Stuart is professional and friendly ,just the right balance in treatment for me.

I developed am extremely painful knee following some tough biking trips, Dan spent 5 sessions on it and has completely sorted it, he gave me exercises to do at home as well all of which means I now ride painlessly. I could not recommend him enough

I received surgery on my spine for a prolapsed disc and trapped sciatic nerve in February 2017, the surgery went well and I started to recovery as expected. Unfortunately, the problem with my trapped sciatic nerve returned threefold just three months later in May and this is when I contacted Stuart at Swindon Sports Therapy.Stuart is a fantastic and astute individual who after just two sessions had started to alleviate my pain. A total of 8 to 10 sessions later and some easy to use home exercises, I have now completed my therapy with SST and felling back to being myself again.Would definitely recommend.Thank you 🙂

I went to see Dan about various bits of my body which hurt! Shoulder, knee, lower back. His deep massaging techniques caused excruciating pain as he worked out bits of tight muscle, but when I stood up and moved about, I couldn’t believe the difference. I had four sessions, and although my body slipped back into it’s old problems, I now know where to stick my own thumbs to work out the knots so that everything works reasonably well.

I came to SST to have a look at a Soleus issue from martial arts, and honestly i wasn't holding out much hope but after 3-4 sessions my legs were back to normal and i've not been able to resume full training! Couldn't recommend this place any more. Incredibly knowledgable and explains potential issues as well as how they plan to remedy them.

Having had a long term issue with my back/shoulder I went to see Dan at Swindon Sports therapy.I am pleased to say that from the very first session I noticed massive improvements and a reduction in the pain and discomfort I lived with daily.I had 4-5 sessions with Dan and from the start he was very sympathetic to my explanations of what was wrong and effective in locating the source for my issues.Having spent nearly 8 years trying different health professionals in and out the country, Dan has by far been the best.It is now 3 weeks since my last session and have almost no issues like before, normally just after one day from seeing another therapist/masseuse the pain and restriction on movement would return.I cant thank Dan and Swindon Sports therapy enough and would highly recommend them.

Great service, I went with niggling back problems and sciatica. Not only did the sports therapy work and treat the pain but Stuart helped me get to the root of the problems I was having with my back, helping to prevent the reoccurring problems I had been having.

My son had hurt his back following a clash during football. We had been to GPs, used anti inflammatory medication, had X-ray but obviously that wasn't going to fix the distorted posture that had developed following months of guarding whilst he had been in pain. We visited Swindon Sports therapy and Stuart, a very friendly, reassuring, professional therapist, has thankfully repaired the posture, the back injury (which was preventing my son standing for long periods of time or even completing a game of football) and an interim collateral ligament damage. Hugely grateful. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending. Sincerest thanks.
Terri Edwards
08:15 16 Mar 17
I contacted Swindon Sports Therapy when a long term, niggling, lower back pain got worse. I walked out of the first session knowing that the problem would soon be gone and this proved to be entirely correct. Stuart is professional, reassuring and knowledgable - always explaining what he is doing and why. He is also very friendly and open. I would have no hesitation in recommending Swindon Sports Therapy to others.

Simply put this was an amazing experience. I would go as far as describing my recovery as miraculous. After 6 years of crippling shoulder pain, 4 therapists and over a thousand pounds wasted I had pretty much given up on the thought of a healthy shoulder. I took a punt on Swindon Sports Therapy and boy did it pay off. In just a couple of sessions Stuart was able to identify the root cause and remedy my pain. During my sessions he was very professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to and I'm sure the other therapists are of the same calibre. Its been 2 weeks since my last session and I still can't believe I am pain free! Highly recommend you give them a go, they certainly know what they are doing. Keep up the good work Swindon Sports Therapy.
Jo Cooling

I went to the Swindon Sport therapy clinic with lower back pain and restricted movement and was assigned Dan as my physio. He treated much more than my back symptoms, really looking at what other parts of my body were effected by or causing the problems in my back. Through massage and simple stretching exercises my pain has now gone and areas of my body that I now realise had been giving me restricted movement for a long time have freed up again. I also feel I have the tools to keep me this way and to improve things should I tighten up again. I wouldn't hesitate to go back if needed and have already signed my son up for his shoulder/back problems.
Marek Allen
09:25 22 Feb 17
Absolutely fantastic! Dan is very knowledgeable and personable, and always looking to do the best job possible. Having had knee and back problems for years as a result of tae kwon do and office life, 2 sessions with Dan helped restore control and strength to my legs where other physios had failed.

After persistent back problems caused by a rugby injury many years ago and seeing other physiotherapists with varying degrees of success I contacted Swindon Sports Therapy and arranged an appointment with Dan. His approach and explanation of what was wrong and how it would be treated inspired confidence, and after the course of treatment, my back is at its best for years and the exercises Dan recommended mean that the need for further treatment should be lessened. If there is a recurrence I will certainly go back to Swindon Sports Therapy.

Swindon Sports Therapy was recommended to me by a friend and I subsequently made an appointment to see Dan Elsigood. My injury was plantar fasciitis and this was something that had plagued me off and on for a number of years. Swindon Sports Therapy have an holistic approach to solving the problem and look at the whole body, treating the cause rather than just the area of pain. As a result of the treatment I received from Dan I am now plantar fasciitis free, back running confidently and feeling better than I have done in a very long time. Dan is extremely professional always providing an explanation of the treatment why he is working on a certain area and what that will involve. I felt completely at ease with Dan and I have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Swindon Sports Therapy for treatment.

Top marks to the Swindon sports centre after rupturing my AchiellesTendon playing badminton I needed some positive physio therapyWhich I received . I'm now back to playing 18 holes of golf and walking the course easily.I can recommend Dan and his therapiesHis professionalism. Well done guy's .

I arrived at the door of Swindon Sports Therapy with a calf injury. Stuart was excellent and immediately found the root of the problem - one hip was higher than the other, glutes not firing, one side more tense than the other etc. After a few sessions all these issues have been sorted and I can honestly say it has helped me achieve more in my fitness regime now that my body is fixed. Without hesitation I would recommend Stuart for the professional, expert and friendly treatment I received.
Kim Taylor

I went with a pain in my knee and so was a little confused when that wasn't the area that Stuart worked on directly. Needless to say, Stuart knew what he was doing and through what was at times some quite gruelling treatment he soon had me back to 3 classes of zumba a week.I have no hesitation in recommending Stuart and if I have a problem in the future, his is the first number I would call.

Dan provided excellent sports therapy. I came in after having ankle pains for several months. In the first session Dan quickly identified the problems with my ankle and associated issues through my leg. The sports massages and exercises Dan gave me quickly helped my injury and by the fourth session my problem was almost entirely fixed. I would highly recommended the Dan and Swindon Sports Therapy.

When I rolled my ankle whilst at AOSB these guys were the first point of contact after a short trip to the MIU and fracture clinic.I have not had sports therapy before so did not know what to expect. I phoned and gave a description of my injury and the gentleman booked me an appointment with Stuart the same week.Stuart gave a quick diagnosis on my first visit and then proceeded to treat me for my injury in a professional manner talking through what he was doing and giving me advice on stretches and when to get back out running. He is very friendly and great to socialise with. I have had around 6 or 7 sessions with Swindon Sports Therapy and am now fixed. Many thanks Stuart. Hopefully I won't be seeing you again too soon 😉 . I would highly recommend.

Very pleased I came here. Very professional with a relaxed atmosphere. Dan treated me for muscular pain I had suffered with for over 5 years, unbearable at times. Now after only a few treatments it has gone! I can't express how grateful I am to Dan and his treatment methods and concern for my fitness and wellbeing.If you are suffering from any physical health problems contact this clinic and see for yourself what progress you can make with their help.

After eventually making an appointment for a knee problem which had been limiting my running after doing some very long walks, Dan worked out what was the cause and a few sessions sorted it out and I am back running again with a race coming up very soon. Dan explained what he was going to do at all stages and checked I was ok as he was doing it. Stretches/exercises to do in between appointments were straightforward and easy to do.

I suffered from back pains for years. Swindon Sports Therapy provided relief through a very holistic approach and helped me be more in touch with my body. They gave me invaluable advice that I still use today to relieve back tension and pain.

Had a ruptured calf muscle and wanted to make sure it was ok to carry on playing Badminton.Found the Swindon sports therapy, and spoke to Dan regarding concerns as I had a previous injury with my calf muscle.He got to the spot right away, and in no time at all, had me playing again.Very reassuring, informative, and relaxing.Many thanks, and no doubt I will be back.

Warm, effective, thorough and communicative - they combine a humanising, welcoming approach with a deep expert knowledge of the body and how it works. Having never used a physiotherapist before I was very sceptical, but after a few years with some periodically debilitating neck pains, I was anxious for some relief, or a solution! These guys, thankfully, has given both. The positive impact and benefits of the work are evident after every session, and the improvement has been very quick. Rather than feel pressured into signing up to never-ending treatment, they let the work speak for itself, and deliver long term benefits in a reasonable amount of sessions. The way you are treated and the relief provided engender great trust, and they make certain that you always understand the treatment and can connect the process to the results. I couldn't recommend them highly enough, and I've been able to take what I've learned in the sessions into my daily routine for the better. Personable, fun, and supportive, you'd be in excellent hands.

Been going to these guys monthly for the last 18 months, initially to seek help with a niggling shoulder problem. Initially treated by Jamie, who sorted that pronto, and have been seeing Dan since to keep minor niggles at bay, which has kept me cycling hard and injury free ever since. Knowledgeable, relaxed, professional, flexible and great service. And not based on 'quackery' approaches... Highly recommended.

After my knee surgery (due to 3 dislocations in three sports) my father introduced me to Swindon Sports Therapy. He had already tried many different physio's over the years so when he highly recommended this one I decided to try them out.I could not have made a better decision. They are very easy going, I never felt awkward or nervous and every time I went for a session I came out feeling stronger and with greatly reduced amounts of pain.What happens during the session I cannot fully explain, they don’t just massage the muscles they focus upon the body as a whole, releasing muscles, nerves and the residual stress left by the traumatic experiences which my knee suffered, whilst providing a detailed explanation of how and why they were doing it and the effects it would have.Quite often they would use different techniques depending on what their initial analysis was but the end result was always the same; less stress, less pain, more mobility and more strength.Within 6 months of my surgery my knee was stronger and I felt more secure with it then I had been before I ever dislocated it in the first place.After my first dislocation I never believed my knee would feel the same again, they proved me wrong!This has allowed me to get back to my active lifestyle of various sports, in fact before a year had passed after my surgery I had already travelled to South East Asia for 3 months and since then I have also completed the Tough Mudder Assault course, I think it’s safe to say that my time with Swindon Sports Therapy was time well spent.In short Swindon Sports Therapy has helped give me back my active life!

I pulled a muscle in my side shifting my kids out of the car and within a couple of days I could hardly stand upright. I took a short course of treatment from Jamie who professionally diagnosed the issue, got me back on me feet with some effective physio therapy and also took the time to review my diet and lifestyle to provide some additional fitness advice. All in all a professional, effective and great value service.
Richard Cox
20:43 26 Apr 14
Friendly and professional, I can't recommend Dan and Jamie enough. They don't treat the part of you that is hurting, they treat the part that is causing the pain. Went in with back pain recently, the cause, something in my hip and stomach! Also they genuinely want to make you better and won't just ask you to come back for the sake of it.

Jamie is very professional and really knows his stuff. Most importantly he gets results quickly. Jamie has helped with a whole range of issues over the years. Jamie has really helped my walking and posture - focussing on my core. I would certainly recommend; his approach and knowledge is second to non in my opinion.
James Canfer
18:54 11 Apr 14
Dan and Jamie are a really professional and friendly outfit and have helped me on numerous occasions following an op and following numerous cycling injuries.Their premises are clean, their advice is sound and the services they offer are totally centred around you as a patient. For me it's their holistic approach to the body as a whole that really works, they're interested in finding a long term solution and not just fixing the obvious problem.

My 16 year old son, who is a swimmer, was suffering an injury and that's how we were introduced to Swindon Sports Therapy. I was amazed how quick the treatment helped Liam back to full fitness. Having suffered myself with Shoulder, Neck and Upper Back pain for years, I decided to ask if Jamie could help me too. Previous visits to NHS Physiotherapy clinics and Chiropractic treatment had been unsuccessful, but thankfully Jamie's Magic not only worked but enabled me to take up exercise classes that I hadn't been able to enjoy for years. When I explain what the treatment has done for me, I say "Jamie fixed me." When my husband saw the results of my treatment, he too wanted to be fixed and a course of treatment from Jamie and Dan have enabled him to realise his own potential as a swimmer, by getting back in the pool and not only training but competing again after 28 years out of the water. Jamie gets to know his clients and uses a holistic approach. This enables him to deliver a treatment programme that is tailor made for each individual.

After a couple months of treatment on my ankle I've even been able to start walking pain-free and even running again! My ankle keeps improving with each treatment - the swelling has reduced and I no longer feel in pain when I walk which is brilliant!If you are feeling skeptical about treatments like physiotherapy or sports therapy then I would definitely recommend try this out. From the first session I noticed an improvement and I'm so glad I didn't put off treatment for any longer - it's so nice to be 'back to normal'!
Daniel Teague
03:50 08 Apr 14
Although blessed with the physique of an athlete, I am not particularly sporty. Instead I saw Jamie for a bad back caused (I think) by lifting a toddler repeatedly in and out of a car. Jamie literally helped me walk taller by diagnosing the source of the problem, working on it and, best of all, teaching me some techniques to self fix in future. I can't recommend highly enough.

At Swindon Sports Therapy they always seem to know what's going on with my body and get it working properly. It's thanks to Swindon Sports Therapy that I am able to continue to enjoy the sport I love and recover quicker!

I am a full time Irish dance teacher in my 50's and have been attending the clinic for treatment on my knees. I have received excellent personalised care and advice from Dan, who was able to put me at my ease with his thoughtful and cheerful manner, so that I am able to continue my teaching career. I would highly recommend this clinic for any sports or indeed other injury that requires physical therapy.

Very happy from start to finish as I've never had any kind of physio and Jamie explain each step which help me to relaxed.Thanks again Jamie

HiJamie has done a brilliant job of sorting out my knee problem and freeing up my shoulder. In both cases what I thought was the problem was completely wrong. There was nothing actually wrong with my knee - I thought I was going to have to have another knee op. But I don't and won't have to. Phew what a relief. I suspect I never needed the first knee op at all!. Thank you Jamie. What you do may appear a little unorthodox at first, but it isn't, it makes a lot of sense and it works.kind regardsJim

Being treated by Swindon Sports Therapy has been a major contributor in changing the way I think about staying healthy enough to enjoy the sports I love.A long-term holistic approach combined with some amazing "instant fixes" that, on a number of occasions, have given relief from a chronic niggle.Go in with an open mind, it's a little different from other treatments you may be used to, but you'll likely walk out feeling in much better shape to tackle what lies ahead.

I'm a Personal Trainer and athlete/runner and have been Swindon Sports Therapy for many years now for both myself and for referring clients. He's always been very personable, approachable and most importantly knowledgeable. His healing hands have sorted out many a niggle and more and he always tries to get to the root cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms.I've always had good feedback from clients that have seen him, and they have often gone back to see him at a later date if they subsequently suffered another injury.A great professional Sports Therapist.

Having suffered from plantar fasciitis for several months and endured two steroid injections in my heel which was recommended by my gp (and had no success what so ever), I was at my wits end .I was then pointed in the direction of Swindon sports therapy by a work colleague who was already receiving treatment there. On my first visit I was given a comprehensive evaluation of the fundamental causes of my pain. Keeping in mind I could barely walk without limping and not stand for any period of time, it only took one session to notice a huge difference. That was approximately a year and a half ago and I still go to receive preventative treatment every couple of months. Highly recommended.

Really friendly and welcoming staff, put me at ease straight away. My issue was not sports related so wasn't sure if they could help but they deal with all nature of problems. They identified my problem immediately and have successfully worked to solve the issue and relieve the pain.Would highly recommend Swindon Sports Therapy to anyone.

I have greatly benefitted from treatments at Swindon Sports Therapy for many years now. Having had a serious road accident as a teenager I was left with movement difficulties in my back and left leg. More recently abdominal surgery has led to a much longer than expected recovery time. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the treatment I have received from Dan ( and before Dan, Jamie) at SST has hugely improved my quality of life.Many thanks,Jane

I started at Swindon Sports Therapy barely able to walk due to knee pain. I'd already seen a number of professionals and done lots of physiotherapy, but with no improvement. After just one session with Dan, I could immediately see an improvement in strength and had a decrease in pain. A few months later, after lots of massage, encouragement, simple exercises and stretches I'm back to hiking through the hills again, without any pain. I'd highly recommend Swindon Sports Therapy!

I have been receiving treatment from Dan at Swindon Sports Therapy for nearly 2 years to compliment my strength and conditioning training (especially as I am approaching 40!).

Dan is a great professional physio. I’ve seen Dan for several different injuries, usually the more complex ones. Very methodical and gets to the bottom of the issue. Not only is there treatment on the table but always suggestions of on going stretches and other methods to help the injury at home.There’s never any pressure to book additional sessions, this is always my decision.Over lockdown all the correct measures were in place and I had no issues visiting the clinic over this time.In summary I would happily recommend Dan and Swindon Sports Therapy.

I have been going for quite some time and have always found that the pain that takes me there, does go away. Not magic of course, but good work done, sometimes it hurts to be cured... but it hurts anyway. So always grateful. Dan is a great physio... and I have no doubts in recommending them.

I have been attending Swindon Sports Therapy for some 10 years now receiving treatment for various strains, aches and pains, first with Jamie and now with Dan. I have always received first class treatment and what impresses me is that the nature of the treatment is always explained. I have a back problem, which is kept at bay with the treatment I receive. I have always found both Jamie and Dan professional, polite and engaging as therapists. My wife and one of my daughters have attended at times and been more than happy with their treatment. I wholeheartedly recommend Swindon Sports Therapy.

I have been pleased with all of the sessions that I have had with Stuart for a problem that I was having with my hip. It has been amazing seeing and feeling the difference that just a few months have made and best of all, I can run again without any discomfort! A nice, easy-going environment and I found the sessions to be very informative in helping me to understand my injury.

I suffer with sciatica and when I went there first time I was little sceptical. I had 1 hour session after which I didn’t feel to much difference. Next day morning my leg was in bigger pain then before but little later my condition get so good I forgot which leg was injured.Thanks guys, can’t wait for other sessions

The best Physio by far!I've had 5 different Physiotherapists over the years and Dan is the best yet. Easy to work with, gives great 'at-home' exercise to do and has sorted all my sports injuries.

I booked an appointment with Dan to look at a shoulder injury that was causing me great discomfort performing various weight-based gym exercises. Over the 4 appointments, Dan spent time massaging and releasing any tightness in muscles connected with the injury (chest, neck, bicep, back) and also gave valuable insight into stretches and exercises to work on away from the sessions. After the sessions I am now free of any pain and have also gained the knowledge to prevent the injury reoccurring. Dan was brilliant and went above and beyond the therapy provided in the appointments by being on hand to answer any queries I had relating to other sports related injuries and also providing good content for homework with links to helpful Youtube videos.

I booked an appointment with Dan to, primarily, address the pain I had been experiencing in my Achilles that had stopped me running for a few months. On my first appointment Dan was brilliant in explaining after a full assessment, how a combination of other muscular issues in other parts of my body were contributing to that pain. From the very first appointment - to the subsequent 4 - Dan proceeded to massage, stretch and manipulate the muscle tightness out of my hip flexors, glutes, calf muscles, etc - which I have to say with all honesty had an immediate affect. After the few treatments I had, combined with "homework" of stretching exercises and massages, the effect was amazing....I am back running short distances pain free and couldn't be happier. Dan is extremely personable, courteous and very professional. I would highly recommend Dan and can't thank him enough.

I highly recommend Stuart. I went in with a long term painful foot problem which I previously tried treating myself. After one session I knew it would be solved. After a course of treatment I am now walking normally and its been amazing whats been achieved. Stuart is professional and friendly ,just the right balance in treatment for me.

I received surgery on my spine for a prolapsed disc and trapped sciatic nerve in February 2017, the surgery went well and I started to recovery as expected. Unfortunately, the problem with my trapped sciatic nerve returned threefold just three months later in May and this is when I contacted Stuart at Swindon Sports Therapy.Stuart is a fantastic and astute individual who after just two sessions had started to alleviate my pain. A total of 8 to 10 sessions later and some easy to use home exercises, I have now completed my therapy with SST and felling back to being myself again.Would definitely recommend.Thank you 🙂

I went to see Dan about various bits of my body which hurt! Shoulder, knee, lower back. His deep massaging techniques caused excruciating pain as he worked out bits of tight muscle, but when I stood up and moved about, I couldn’t believe the difference. I had four sessions, and although my body slipped back into it’s old problems, I now know where to stick my own thumbs to work out the knots so that everything works reasonably well.

I came to SST to have a look at a Soleus issue from martial arts, and honestly i wasn't holding out much hope but after 3-4 sessions my legs were back to normal and i've not been able to resume full training! Couldn't recommend this place any more. Incredibly knowledgable and explains potential issues as well as how they plan to remedy them.

Having had a long term issue with my back/shoulder I went to see Dan at Swindon Sports therapy.I am pleased to say that from the very first session I noticed massive improvements and a reduction in the pain and discomfort I lived with daily.I had 4-5 sessions with Dan and from the start he was very sympathetic to my explanations of what was wrong and effective in locating the source for my issues.Having spent nearly 8 years trying different health professionals in and out the country, Dan has by far been the best.It is now 3 weeks since my last session and have almost no issues like before, normally just after one day from seeing another therapist/masseuse the pain and restriction on movement would return.I cant thank Dan and Swindon Sports therapy enough and would highly recommend them.

Great service, I went with niggling back problems and sciatica. Not only did the sports therapy work and treat the pain but Stuart helped me get to the root of the problems I was having with my back, helping to prevent the reoccurring problems I had been having.

My son had hurt his back following a clash during football. We had been to GPs, used anti inflammatory medication, had X-ray but obviously that wasn't going to fix the distorted posture that had developed following months of guarding whilst he had been in pain. We visited Swindon Sports therapy and Stuart, a very friendly, reassuring, professional therapist, has thankfully repaired the posture, the back injury (which was preventing my son standing for long periods of time or even completing a game of football) and an interim collateral ligament damage. Hugely grateful. Wouldn't hesitate in recommending. Sincerest thanks.
Terri Edwards
08:15 16 Mar 17
I contacted Swindon Sports Therapy when a long term, niggling, lower back pain got worse. I walked out of the first session knowing that the problem would soon be gone and this proved to be entirely correct. Stuart is professional, reassuring and knowledgable - always explaining what he is doing and why. He is also very friendly and open. I would have no hesitation in recommending Swindon Sports Therapy to others.

Simply put this was an amazing experience. I would go as far as describing my recovery as miraculous. After 6 years of crippling shoulder pain, 4 therapists and over a thousand pounds wasted I had pretty much given up on the thought of a healthy shoulder. I took a punt on Swindon Sports Therapy and boy did it pay off. In just a couple of sessions Stuart was able to identify the root cause and remedy my pain. During my sessions he was very professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to and I'm sure the other therapists are of the same calibre. Its been 2 weeks since my last session and I still can't believe I am pain free! Highly recommend you give them a go, they certainly know what they are doing. Keep up the good work Swindon Sports Therapy.
Jo Cooling
15:25 22 Feb 17
I went to the Swindon Sport therapy clinic with lower back pain and restricted movement and was assigned Dan as my physio. He treated much more than my back symptoms, really looking at what other parts of my body were effected by or causing the problems in my back. Through massage and simple stretching exercises my pain has now gone and areas of my body that I now realise had been giving me restricted movement for a long time have freed up again. I also feel I have the tools to keep me this way and to improve things should I tighten up again. I wouldn't hesitate to go back if needed and have already signed my son up for his shoulder/back problems.
Marek Allen
09:25 22 Feb 17
Absolutely fantastic! Dan is very knowledgeable and personable, and always looking to do the best job possible. Having had knee and back problems for years as a result of tae kwon do and office life, 2 sessions with Dan helped restore control and strength to my legs where other physios had failed.
Barry Hopkins

After persistent back problems caused by a rugby injury many years ago and seeing other physiotherapists with varying degrees of success I contacted Swindon Sports Therapy and arranged an appointment with Dan. His approach and explanation of what was wrong and how it would be treated inspired confidence, and after the course of treatment, my back is at its best for years and the exercises Dan recommended mean that the need for further treatment should be lessened. If there is a recurrence I will certainly go back to Swindon Sports Therapy.
Sophia Best

Swindon Sports Therapy was recommended to me by a friend and I subsequently made an appointment to see Dan Elsigood. My injury was plantar fasciitis and this was something that had plagued me off and on for a number of years. Swindon Sports Therapy have an holistic approach to solving the problem and look at the whole body, treating the cause rather than just the area of pain. As a result of the treatment I received from Dan I am now plantar fasciitis free, back running confidently and feeling better than I have done in a very long time. Dan is extremely professional always providing an explanation of the treatment why he is working on a certain area and what that will involve. I felt completely at ease with Dan and I have absolutely no hesitation in highly recommending Swindon Sports Therapy for treatment.

Top marks to the Swindon sports centre after rupturing my AchiellesTendon playing badminton I needed some positive physio therapyWhich I received . I'm now back to playing 18 holes of golf and walking the course easily.I can recommend Dan and his therapiesHis professionalism. Well done guy's .

I arrived at the door of Swindon Sports Therapy with a calf injury. Stuart was excellent and immediately found the root of the problem - one hip was higher than the other, glutes not firing, one side more tense than the other etc. After a few sessions all these issues have been sorted and I can honestly say it has helped me achieve more in my fitness regime now that my body is fixed. Without hesitation I would recommend Stuart for the professional, expert and friendly treatment I received.
Kim Taylor
14:40 06 Jun 16
I went with a pain in my knee and so was a little confused when that wasn't the area that Stuart worked on directly. Needless to say, Stuart knew what he was doing and through what was at times some quite gruelling treatment he soon had me back to 3 classes of zumba a week.I have no hesitation in recommending Stuart and if I have a problem in the future, his is the first number I would call.

Dan provided excellent sports therapy. I came in after having ankle pains for several months. In the first session Dan quickly identified the problems with my ankle and associated issues through my leg. The sports massages and exercises Dan gave me quickly helped my injury and by the fourth session my problem was almost entirely fixed. I would highly recommended the Dan and Swindon Sports Therapy.

When I rolled my ankle whilst at AOSB these guys were the first point of contact after a short trip to the MIU and fracture clinic.I have not had sports therapy before so did not know what to expect. I phoned and gave a description of my injury and the gentleman booked me an appointment with Stuart the same week.Stuart gave a quick diagnosis on my first visit and then proceeded to treat me for my injury in a professional manner talking through what he was doing and giving me advice on stretches and when to get back out running. He is very friendly and great to socialise with. I have had around 6 or 7 sessions with Swindon Sports Therapy and am now fixed. Many thanks Stuart. Hopefully I won't be seeing you again too soon 😉 . I would highly recommend.

Very pleased I came here. Very professional with a relaxed atmosphere. Dan treated me for muscular pain I had suffered with for over 5 years, unbearable at times. Now after only a few treatments it has gone! I can't express how grateful I am to Dan and his treatment methods and concern for my fitness and wellbeing.If you are suffering from any physical health problems contact this clinic and see for yourself what progress you can make with their help.

After eventually making an appointment for a knee problem which had been limiting my running after doing some very long walks, Dan worked out what was the cause and a few sessions sorted it out and I am back running again with a race coming up very soon. Dan explained what he was going to do at all stages and checked I was ok as he was doing it. Stretches/exercises to do in between appointments were straightforward and easy to do.

I suffered from back pains for years. Swindon Sports Therapy provided relief through a very holistic approach and helped me be more in touch with my body. They gave me invaluable advice that I still use today to relieve back tension and pain.

Had a ruptured calf muscle and wanted to make sure it was ok to carry on playing Badminton.Found the Swindon sports therapy, and spoke to Dan regarding concerns as I had a previous injury with my calf muscle.He got to the spot right away, and in no time at all, had me playing again.Very reassuring, informative, and relaxing.Many thanks, and no doubt I will be back.

Warm, effective, thorough and communicative - they combine a humanising, welcoming approach with a deep expert knowledge of the body and how it works. Having never used a physiotherapist before I was very sceptical, but after a few years with some periodically debilitating neck pains, I was anxious for some relief, or a solution! These guys, thankfully, has given both. The positive impact and benefits of the work are evident after every session, and the improvement has been very quick. Rather than feel pressured into signing up to never-ending treatment, they let the work speak for itself, and deliver long term benefits in a reasonable amount of sessions. The way you are treated and the relief provided engender great trust, and they make certain that you always understand the treatment and can connect the process to the results. I couldn't recommend them highly enough, and I've been able to take what I've learned in the sessions into my daily routine for the better. Personable, fun, and supportive, you'd be in excellent hands.

Been going to these guys monthly for the last 18 months, initially to seek help with a niggling shoulder problem. Initially treated by Jamie, who sorted that pronto, and have been seeing Dan since to keep minor niggles at bay, which has kept me cycling hard and injury free ever since. Knowledgeable, relaxed, professional, flexible and great service. And not based on 'quackery' approaches... Highly recommended.

After my knee surgery (due to 3 dislocations in three sports) my father introduced me to Swindon Sports Therapy. He had already tried many different physio's over the years so when he highly recommended this one I decided to try them out.I could not have made a better decision. They are very easy going, I never felt awkward or nervous and every time I went for a session I came out feeling stronger and with greatly reduced amounts of pain.What happens during the session I cannot fully explain, they don’t just massage the muscles they focus upon the body as a whole, releasing muscles, nerves and the residual stress left by the traumatic experiences which my knee suffered, whilst providing a detailed explanation of how and why they were doing it and the effects it would have.Quite often they would use different techniques depending on what their initial analysis was but the end result was always the same; less stress, less pain, more mobility and more strength.Within 6 months of my surgery my knee was stronger and I felt more secure with it then I had been before I ever dislocated it in the first place.After my first dislocation I never believed my knee would feel the same again, they proved me wrong!This has allowed me to get back to my active lifestyle of various sports, in fact before a year had passed after my surgery I had already travelled to South East Asia for 3 months and since then I have also completed the Tough Mudder Assault course, I think it’s safe to say that my time with Swindon Sports Therapy was time well spent.In short Swindon Sports Therapy has helped give me back my active life!

I pulled a muscle in my side shifting my kids out of the car and within a couple of days I could hardly stand upright. I took a short course of treatment from Jamie who professionally diagnosed the issue, got me back on me feet with some effective physio therapy and also took the time to review my diet and lifestyle to provide some additional fitness advice. All in all a professional, effective and great value service.
Richard Cox
20:43 26 Apr 14
Friendly and professional, I can't recommend Dan and Jamie enough. They don't treat the part of you that is hurting, they treat the part that is causing the pain. Went in with back pain recently, the cause, something in my hip and stomach! Also they genuinely want to make you better and won't just ask you to come back for the sake of it.

Jamie is very professional and really knows his stuff. Most importantly he gets results quickly. Jamie has helped with a whole range of issues over the years. Jamie has really helped my walking and posture - focussing on my core. I would certainly recommend; his approach and knowledge is second to non in my opinion.
James Canfer
18:54 11 Apr 14
Dan and Jamie are a really professional and friendly outfit and have helped me on numerous occasions following an op and following numerous cycling injuries.Their premises are clean, their advice is sound and the services they offer are totally centred around you as a patient. For me it's their holistic approach to the body as a whole that really works, they're interested in finding a long term solution and not just fixing the obvious problem.

My 16 year old son, who is a swimmer, was suffering an injury and that's how we were introduced to Swindon Sports Therapy. I was amazed how quick the treatment helped Liam back to full fitness. Having suffered myself with Shoulder, Neck and Upper Back pain for years, I decided to ask if Jamie could help me too. Previous visits to NHS Physiotherapy clinics and Chiropractic treatment had been unsuccessful, but thankfully Jamie's Magic not only worked but enabled me to take up exercise classes that I hadn't been able to enjoy for years. When I explain what the treatment has done for me, I say "Jamie fixed me." When my husband saw the results of my treatment, he too wanted to be fixed and a course of treatment from Jamie and Dan have enabled him to realise his own potential as a swimmer, by getting back in the pool and not only training but competing again after 28 years out of the water. Jamie gets to know his clients and uses a holistic approach. This enables him to deliver a treatment programme that is tailor made for each individual.

After a couple months of treatment on my ankle I've even been able to start walking pain-free and even running again! My ankle keeps improving with each treatment - the swelling has reduced and I no longer feel in pain when I walk which is brilliant!If you are feeling skeptical about treatments like physiotherapy or sports therapy then I would definitely recommend try this out. From the first session I noticed an improvement and I'm so glad I didn't put off treatment for any longer - it's so nice to be 'back to normal'!
Daniel Teague
03:50 08 Apr 14
Although blessed with the physique of an athlete, I am not particularly sporty. Instead I saw Jamie for a bad back caused (I think) by lifting a toddler repeatedly in and out of a car. Jamie literally helped me walk taller by diagnosing the source of the problem, working on it and, best of all, teaching me some techniques to self fix in future. I can't recommend highly enough.

At Swindon Sports Therapy they always seem to know what's going on with my body and get it working properly. It's thanks to Swindon Sports Therapy that I am able to continue to enjoy the sport I love and recover quicker!

I am a full time Irish dance teacher in my 50's and have been attending the clinic for treatment on my knees. I have received excellent personalised care and advice from Dan, who was able to put me at my ease with his thoughtful and cheerful manner, so that I am able to continue my teaching career. I would highly recommend this clinic for any sports or indeed other injury that requires physical therapy.

HiJamie has done a brilliant job of sorting out my knee problem and freeing up my shoulder. In both cases what I thought was the problem was completely wrong. There was nothing actually wrong with my knee - I thought I was going to have to have another knee op. But I don't and won't have to. Phew what a relief. I suspect I never needed the first knee op at all!. Thank you Jamie. What you do may appear a little unorthodox at first, but it isn't, it makes a lot of sense and it works.kind regardsJim

Being treated by Swindon Sports Therapy has been a major contributor in changing the way I think about staying healthy enough to enjoy the sports I love.A long-term holistic approach combined with some amazing "instant fixes" that, on a number of occasions, have given relief from a chronic niggle.Go in with an open mind, it's a little different from other treatments you may be used to, but you'll likely walk out feeling in much better shape to tackle what lies ahead.
Gary O'Brien

I'm a Personal Trainer and athlete/runner and have been Swindon Sports Therapy for many years now for both myself and for referring clients. He's always been very personable, approachable and most importantly knowledgeable. His healing hands have sorted out many a niggle and more and he always tries to get to the root cause of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms.I've always had good feedback from clients that have seen him, and they have often gone back to see him at a later date if they subsequently suffered another injury.A great professional Sports Therapist.

Having suffered from plantar fasciitis for several months and endured two steroid injections in my heel which was recommended by my gp (and had no success what so ever), I was at my wits end .I was then pointed in the direction of Swindon sports therapy by a work colleague who was already receiving treatment there. On my first visit I was given a comprehensive evaluation of the fundamental causes of my pain. Keeping in mind I could barely walk without limping and not stand for any period of time, it only took one session to notice a huge difference. That was approximately a year and a half ago and I still go to receive preventative treatment every couple of months. Highly recommended.

Really friendly and welcoming staff, put me at ease straight away. My issue was not sports related so wasn't sure if they could help but they deal with all nature of problems. They identified my problem immediately and have successfully worked to solve the issue and relieve the pain.Would highly recommend Swindon Sports Therapy to anyone.
