Posted on Rebecca Smith Claire completely changed my life. Claire is kind, knowledgeable about nerve injury along with the pain and movement problems it can create and most of all compassionate and truly cares about your recovery. Due to Claire I was able to get my nerve pain under control and improved my mobility and capability. When I first saw Claire I never thought I’d be able to live a ‘normal’ life but because of her I am more capable in my day to day life, I’ve had two children and I have more understanding of my body’s limitations and how to live with it. I will never be fully fixed because of my nerve damage, but Claire has got me as close as I will ever get and I will be eternally grateful. If you are someone contemplating whether Claire or her team can help you, I’d bet the life she gave me back she can.Posted on Matthew Tatton Claire and The Nerve Injury Clinic have been absolutely fantastic, helping me with knee pain and back pain arising from sports injuries / lifestyle over the past several months. Claire has been extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and supportive throughout my treatment, and has now given me all the tools I need to look after my own body. Andy was also brilliant - professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable - he assessed and fit me for custom orthotics to help alleviate some of the problems with my gait . I can’t rate the NIC high enough!Posted on Robin Walsby I was treated by Jess over about 3 months for problematic ankles. She was brilliant, loads of different ideas and things to take away as well as the detail in the appointments covering a wide gamut not just the ankle itself. Also the clinic has other options as well - so Andy sorted semi-custom insoles and I had a few (new to me) yoga instructionals 1-1 with Claire. All in all great, thanks allPosted on Dominic Holding The nerve injury clinic have been brilliant, helping me with a very aggregated chronic RSI issue that a series of regular/ sports physios were unable to understand or help me with. The level of support and expertise has been brilliant and I can’t recommend the nerve injury clinic highly enough.Posted on Beverley Shone After a solution of medication and a 'you may just have to live with it' outcome from the NHS I found Claire whose treatment and ability to actually listen to a patient has given me the tools to gain control of my condition. I can highly recommend the services of The Nerve Injury Clinic for a professional, caring and holistic approach.Posted on George Carlisle I went to the nerve injury clinic for physiotherapy after undergoing nerve surgery. I had a complex surgical history and had struggled with neuropathic pain for many years. This place does not just provide a physiotherapy service but the some of the most comprehensive, caring and professional care I have ever received. I cannot recommend this place more highly to anyone recovering from nerve injury. My Physio (Kellie) has been there every step of the way and I cannot thank her enough. I look forward to continuing my journey with them.Posted on Greg Hunt I have been a patient with The Nerve Injury Clinic for 10 years. Exceptional level of care, empathy and highly professional bespoke treatment. I continued treatment with her at the recommendation of two NHS neurophysiotherapists who said my conditions were too complex for them to treat and that I was receiving excellent treatment from Claire. I am so indebted to Claire Downs as without her care I would have lost my mobility.Posted on Joanna Williamson I have been treated by Claire Downs for the past year for a nerve injury to my shoulder following an accident. I can't recommend the Nerve Injury Clinic and Claire highly enough. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, explains things brilliantly and has helped me regain almost all of my shoulder function. When I first started seeing her, I was in a lot of discomfort, the biomechanics of my shoulder were all over the place and I was unable to lift my arm above 90 degrees. As well as being a brilliant physiotherapist, she is also a lovely person - very kind, calm, compassionate and relaxed. I will miss her!Posted on Tom Lloyd Excellent service and care. Couldn’t recommend enough!Posted on Primrose Moss Claire is both brilliantly knowledgeable and absolutely lovely - having had previous physio which I suspect (despite their best efforts) made my nerve pain worse, Claire took a completely different approach which made a massive difference to my symptoms. Having travelled driven a 6 hour roundtrip weekly for several months, it was definitely worth it. If you have nerve pain, I'd recommend travelling to see her.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 17 reviews
