   I was really thankful that I came across James, I had been experiencing awful plantar pain and was at the point where I had exhausted all avenues to reduce the problem. I work 10hr shifts in the NHS and was struggling. I came across The Recovery Room and booked an appointment. James was very professional and we worked out a plan that included shock wave therapy. Six sessions later and a personal recovery plan for strengthing the ankle and foot, I am now positively making excellent progress. The pain has reduced significantly and the recommendations for new footwear for work is an absolute game changer. James is caring, professional and I can't thank him enough for treatment he has provided. I would recommend The Recovery Room to any colleague that has a plantar fasciitis problem or foot an ankle pain. A massive thankyou for taking away this pain. Stephanie.

   Firstly, James is brilliant; he listens, assesses and works a plan around you. Secondly, you do not need to be a sporty person with a sports injury. I had a 5 month history of shoulder pain with limited arm movement for no apparent reason. It was affecting basic activities like washing and dressing. Someone recommended James, and I'm so grateful that they did because he has worked wonders. I began with the 15 minute free telephone call, which, having spoken with James gave me the confidence to book a session. Initially, he saw me weekly, which then became fortnightly, now monthly and my 6th visit will probably be the last one. Be prepared to play your part and carry out the exercise plan you are given. Please hesitate no longer, book an appointment with James Kirkpatrick at The Recovery Room, Romsey Golf Club!

   I came to see James for a sports massage for my back, however, I've ended up being treated to other problems I had, which was very useful. James was interested in assessing the issues in conjunction with my history of injuries and pains, so he did not just consider the obvious. The exercises he recommended were described at the appointment and sent via email straight after. I was also treated to shockwave treatment on my hip and what can I say... it worked wonders as I am currently pain free after many months of pain. I would have no hesitation in returning to James for any future injuries and would recommend him to anyone needing treatment.

   James is very thorough with his assessment of patients and is good at root cause analysis. He appears to be very knowledgeable in his field and is also keen to keep/get people moving. His advice was invaluable to me and I highly recommend him! If you are a new patient, I suggest you arrive a few minutes early as his practice is not easy to find within the golf clubhouse premises. It is a good idea to have his phone number ready so you can 'summon him' if you are lost.

   James has been my life saver this year. I went to him with sciatica, at a very low ebb having had minimal help from the NHS. He completely understood what I was going through. I was in terrible pain and thought I'd never be able to run again. His advice was invaluable and a great source of comfort, and over the months he has guided me back to running. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

   I came to the recovery room as I had been experiencing inside knee pain when running more than 3km. It was not affected by walking or cycling but as a keen runner it was stopping me doing what I loved. James listened to my concerns and understood how important it was for me to get running again. After 3 fortnightly sessions and following the physio plan James built for me I was able to run 15km without any pain. I wouldn’t hesitate to get back in touch if I was injured again. Thank you

   I came to James as a woman in her early 60s who thought her running days were over because of a slightly arthritic knee. James gave me a programme of exercises, and to cut a long story short I am now able to run 3 times a week, and take part in my local park run, which I love. This is all down to James' belief in my ability to manage my knee, and the support and encouragement, as well as expert treatment, he has given me along the way.

   I had a niggling ankle injury that kept flaring up over the last couple of years whenever I tried to increase my mileage and most recently it stopped me from running completely. I saw James for a few f2f sessions and a zoom session (due to lockdown) and the whole service was excellent. James did a thorough assessment taking into account previous injuries and came up with a focused treatment plan, adjusting the exercises as needed and also keeping in mind my running goals. I found his instructions clear and the links to the exercises really helpful. He was always friendly and approachable and I can't fault his support. I am now back running pain-free and stronger. Thank you, James!

   I went to James with a pain in my inner leg above my ankle which was all linked to a knee injury I had sustained about 10 years ago. Over several sessions and 4 months, he helped me build strength, become injury free and become a better runner. The majority of my sessions were on zoom due to lockdown and they were brilliant. I still got great treatment and I came on a lot in the 3 months before I actually went to a face to face session in August. The zoom sessions were easy to follow and he could still provide me with exercises to complete. He was able to still assess my progress and I would definitely recommend the zoom sessions if face to face is not available. I will definitely return to James if I ever sustain an injury again - although I hope I don’t! I would highly recommend James. The exercises he provides are unique and he has great knowledge to help with any issues you are having.
