Revival Health & Wellbeing Centre

I chose to consult Claire based on other's reviews, so it seems right to leave my own review - Claire is amazing! I consulted her because of a rotator cuff (shoulder) injury that had been steadily worsening over a 6-month period. It was impacting sleep and day-to-day activities. She provided treatment and exercises tailored to my specific needs. She is professional, empathetic and positive. Bottom line is that after 4 appts I am almost back to 100% function and pain-free. Could not recommend her highly enough.

After taking up netball again (having had a 10 year break), I was diagnosed with Patellar Tendinopathy. I was in almost constant pain (driving, going up stairs, even sleeping) when I was referred to Claire. I hadn't realised how weak my leg had become as a result of the pain. I underwent an intensive course of treatment with Claire and was given straightforward exercises to do between sessions.
I'm happy to say that I'm now back playing netball and even managed to ski recently (all without any pain). My leg is almost as strong as it was before and will continue to get stronger with the exercises I have up my sleeve.
Claire really helped me to understand the healing process and what was required. I would highly recommend!

I came to Claire with a grade 3-4 ankle sprain in May, and within 3 months my ankle has fully healed and has not sprained or twinged since. Claire always provided thorough and professional treatment at every appointment and never failed to have an explanation for any of my concerns. Practicing her advice would always alleviate the pain I was suffering from and the progression of treatment and exercises always felt manageable and logical…easily one of the most consistent physio treatments I have ever had, and she managed to do all this whilst also being incredibly friendly and welcoming. Could not recommend her more highly!

I cannot express the amazing results that has been achieved with the wonderful Alice Brooks-Davies! I had a full knee replacement in December 2023 and the expertise of Alice, has given me the strength and courage to complete all exercises and be able to walk without aids quite quickly. The professionalism of Revival Health & Wellbeing Centre team are truly fantastic and I can only give the service I received 5 Stars. Thank you for being you Alice, you are a credit to Revival. xx

I recently went to Claire for help with a back injury. I was very impressed with the level of care and expertise that I received. Claire took the time to understand my injury and develop a personalized treatment plan. I felt better after each treatment, and I am now back to my normal activities.

I would highly recommend Claire to anyone who is looking for a professional and effective physio.

Not all pain is physical or visible ........

A few months ago, dad started to suffer with severe panic attacks. The attacks were so bad that he was afraid to go to bed at night and therefore spent the nights in his chair. His mind would not let him sleep, which spiralled to him not being in a good place.
As a family, we have all visited Claire at some point for our physical ailments, every time with amazing results. We did not know how to help dad and were at our wits end. We turned to Claire for acupuncture to try and help dad relax. She was so kind, caring, understanding and thorough, putting dad at ease immediately. Claire helped dad to recognise that he was not on his own in the way he was thinking and she concentrated on the positives, taking baby steps.
As well as spending time with him and talking to him, Claire gave dad strategies to cope when he had a panic attack and made suggestions for future goals and steps forward, one at a time.
Dad made several visits to Claire, with each one seeing an improvement in his mental health, well being and confidence.
We cannot believe the change in him in just a few months. Dad has gone from someone who could not sleep or be left alone in a room for fear of panic, to his former, more confident self who now has no qualms about going to bed and who is managing his now very infrequent ‘wobble’ moments.
There are not enough words to thank Claire for her help in us getting our dad back and mum, her husband back. She is truly an amazing, professional and knowledgeable lady in so many fields. We cannot recommend her services enough.

Claire was amazing. She spent so much time talking to me about my symptoms and then giving me feedback and advice on the exercises that will help my sciatica and frozen shoulder. She is an amazing practitioner and I highly recommend her. Thank you Claire.

I have had ongoing back pain for many years which I have managed. However some months ago it became severe pain in hip, legs saw gp and I was referred for MRI scan. I was identified with sciatica caused by trapped nerve. Pain was tremendous unable to stand or walk for more than a couple of minutes. I had some local physio which didn't really help then through recommendations I called to see Claire and it was best thing I did. Claire talked through all of my symptoms with me, we discussed the MRI scan an she set me a program of exercises which she went through I have also received laser heat treatment and acupuncture which has made all the difference. I am now able to walk and stand I still need to be careful. I'm so grateful for everything thank you Claire.
Kind regards Wayne Godwin

I had lower back pain that got progressively worse over about a month to the point that I struggled with even simple daily activities. I saw Alice who quickly diagnosed the problem and with her effective treatment, and tailored exercises, I felt significant improvement after one visit, and more or less back to normal after less than a month (3 visits). I have no hesitation in recommending Alice or Revival.

I have been seeing Claire for physiotherapy for a number of years now, and I can’t sing her praises enough. She has got me through some tough times, always with a sympathetic ear and positive attitude. She is so knowledgeable about all kinds of ailments and really listens to her clients to understand the problem, always seeming to find a solution! I trust her implicitly and would 100% recommend her.

Claire is absolutely amazing I can’t praise her enough! I had L4 nerve damage and was in absolute agony and Claire sorted me out completely. My mom had a very bad break to her femur and was worried she would never walk again and Claire completely sorted her out too. Claire is so professional and her knowledge is unbelievable, she is so calm, confident, kind, patient and reassuring we would never go anywhere else. We feel so lucky to have found her! She is truly amazing x

I was recommended to Claire by a lady I met at Wildmoor Spa, near Stratford-upon-Avon. She noticed that I could barely walk, stand or bend down etc.
I contacted Claire immediately after this recommendation. I was in severe pain and desperate for help. After some treatments with Claire every 4 weeks for a number of months including two sessions of acupuncture I am able to walk at least 8 miles per day with my dog and live life normally.
Claire discovered/found I had a bulging disc and a stenoid nerve problem. I also had this problem in 2006 and had to have private treatment and a non steroid injection to cure the problem. This time I didn't need to go for the injection as Claire managed me through the problem.
Between 2006 and 2022 (until meeting Claire) I was taking between 4-8 very strong painkillers (which were prescribed by my private consultant) every day for 15 years.
I am no longer taking any pain medication. I now know how to exercise to strengthen my lower back and hip. She's a fantastic miracle worker, I can hardly believe that I don't take these tablets any more. I would recommend her to everyone as my experience has been life changing. Thank you Claire.

Claire is wonderful! After suffering with achilles tendinopathy in both ankles for over two years I can now walk without pain. Claire has exceeded my expectations and continues to deliver a care plan for ongoing support. I cannot recommend her enough and encourage anyone with pain to seek help from Claire and her team. Thank you so much x

The team at Revival truly put their patients first. The level of care and professionalism is 2nd to none. I would highly recommend Revival Health & Wellbeing Centre.

I was in constant pain with my hip and lower back, medication and medical procedures/injections didn’t help. I was keen to understand what the issue was and I wanted to understand whether I could help/fix my symptoms with exercise. I also wanted to recognise whether my behaviours/exercise/ignore and carry on regimes were helping or hindering.

I saw Claire and I had a diagnosis, explanation and assurance that over time, my issue could be fixed, which was such a relief and assurance. All this in the first consultation. Over the months I have followed my exercise plan which has been modified as my symptoms have improved. The exercises are simple, quick and can be incorporated into my daily routines. I now know the triggers and I know what to do if I have any setbacks. I’m finally out of constant pain, it’s wonderful.

I can’t recommend Claire highly enough, her knowledge, assurance, treatments, realistic exercise plans and support are fantastic. She has met and exceeded my expectations. She genuinely cares and you know she’s there for you if you need her help.

I am currently signed up for the Rehab Gym Package after a knee replacement operation. Claire was very thorough in her assessment and has designed a comprehensive rehab plan for me.
Good value for money too. :-)

If you are in need of a physio then you have found the right person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Claire. She is exceptionally professional, clearly very knowledgeable and strives to do her best to find the best treatment to suit your needs.
I couldn’t thank Claire enough for her support and genuine care of my situation. I picked up a knee injury 5 weeks before running a marathon and was so pleased to have made contact with Claire. She kept me positive and helped me plan out the rest of my training whilst guiding me through exercises I could do at home to help.
She offers a range of treatments including acupuncture and I feel the mix of these treatments really helped.
She has a very calm and reassuring manner and it was very easy to talk things through with her.
After making it to the finish line I booked in another session with her to try to ease some of the aches and pains. Again the mix of traditional physio, sports massage and Chinese cupping therapy really helped take away those final aches and pains.
I would most certainly contact Claire again in the future if I’m in need. Thanks once again Claire. Your support was greatly appreciated and you went over and beyond to help me xx

After suffering with chronic tendinitis in my arm, I visited Revival Health & Wellbeing centre for treatment which included accupuncture, shock wave and laser treatment.
The service I received was of very high standard along with professionalism from Clair and now I am fully recovered and able to get back to day to day duties with out the pain I was suffering.
I would definitely reccomend Revival & Wellbeing Centre to anyone.

I have had an exceptional experience with Claire. She is very knowledgeable and quickly diagnosed and provided a variety of treatments to help solve my problem and ease the symptoms in my session with her, as well as prescribing me ways to alleviate the problem from home. She also advised on how I can help prevent similar problems in the future-taking into consideration my personal situation and needs- and followed up post treatment to ensure my symptoms were improving. Claire provides a very kind, friendly and thorough service, which in my experience has provided excellent results.

I went to Claire with a shoulder injury. She was able to diagnose the exact problem within minutes.

She is incredibly professional and knowledgeable and conducts the sessions in a very pleasant manner, clearly explaining what and why she is doing each treatment.

Through her physiotherapy and home exercises my shoulder responded very quickly. I would highly recommend Claire's practice.
