Who We've Worked With

At The Performance Clinic we've worked with a number of athletes and organisations, including:

Client Testimonials

"Definitely recommend!! I had actually got the day of appointment mixed up but Trevor was fantastic even though I was very late. He listened to my past history and the treatment etc he gave me for my ongoing shoulder/neck issue was fantastic and has really helped. I’m going back next week for a follow up session."

Christina Barrett

"Trevor was friendly and professional. Detailed in the questions he asked and listened to what I had to say. He warned me when it "wasn't going to be pleasant", i.e. it was going to hurt. But the results are worth it."

MikeN F1

“Penny was fantastic in obtaining a team of therapists for us at the Great North Run. All of our runners thought the team were great and really appreciated the time that the team had dedicated to them. The therapists were very professional and really friendly, which was fabulous!”
