Testimonials

"My problem was deteriorating osteoporosis and chronic neck pain.   Alastair took a full history prior to deciding a treatment plan.  He prompted me to return to my Doctor to discuss options to treat  osteoporosis.  This advice proved invaluable.  He then planned an appropriate physio regime to help me.  I was impressed by Alastair's enthusiasm, professionalism and ongoing interest.

I would highly recommend Active Physio Bay Roskill for anyone needing physiotherapy"

Mary Austin. Veterinarian.

 

"On two occasions in the last 8 weeks I have required the services of Alastair Prentice of Active Physio Bay Roskill. Both were hip-related, but not the same injury. On both occasions a series of sessions quickly resulted in me rapidly progressing from feeling like an 80-year–old needing a walking cane, to being able to partake in my favoured weekly Orienteering outing.

Alastair has exceeded my greatest hopes with his professionalism and his ability to enable my recovery from both painful instances. I would like to record my thanks for his help and would recommend his expertise to anyone who would benefit from his profession".

John Chapman

"I would like to thank Alastair for getting me back up on my feet and running again - not once, but twice. In 2003, a badly rolled ankle, and untold pain, brought me to Active Physio and Alastair's magic hands. Then in 2011 after rolling another ankle, Alastair managed me back into marathon training to the point where I was running gently within 2 weeks, and training fully within 4.  All delivered with a dose of good humour that helped dull the pain and speed healing. I can thoroughly recommend Alastair to anyone wanting to stay active."

Cam Lorimer. Air Traffic Controller

"In 2009 I damaged my shoulder in a skiing accident. After a period of time this lead to surgery and Alastair was involved in my post surgical recovery. My main goal following surgery was to have sufficient range of movement so I could surf again. Thanks to Alastair’s coaching and training programme, I only needed six weeks to get my mobility back to a point where I feel is better than where it was prior to the operation, and I am now back surfing.

From my perspective as self employed and busy businessman, I found Alastair to be professional, reliable and confident to deal with and would not have any hesitation to recommend his practice to you”

Keith Jones. Manager
