It is possible to live pain free

Would you like to return to a life that doesn't include daily pain and get back to doing the things that make you feel alive?
Book your no obligation call today.

We will get to the root cause of your pain or movement dysfunction together.  No stone is left unturned.  By dealing with the cause rather than the symptom, your body can feel good long term, not a short term fix that leaves you back at square one the first time you use the gym or sneeze.

Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) is a highly specialist method of providing rehabilitation to patients with a variety of different conditions.

NKT involves the completion of a thorough examination of the entire body by employing a system of precise muscle tests, which can then be interpreted by certified therapists to identify the presence of any muscle imbalances and dysfunctions that may contribute to potential issues.

You can choose to have acupuncture as part of your treatment plan.

Acupuncture can also be used to treat other conditions such as:

Stress, anxiety, general wellbeing.
 Relaxation, immune-enhancement.
 Women's health (including hot flushes, period pain and irregular menstruation, brain fog and bloating).

We all know the benefits of a massage but if the relief only lasts a few days, the "tight" areas being worked on might not be the bad guys.

Releasing something that is holding tension to protect an area can lead to further issues.

Using NKT muscle testing, our guided massage will leave you feeling great long term.

When surgery is necessary, being as strong as possible will help the recovery process post surgery.  

Focussed rehabilitation will turbo charge that recovery.  Ensuring you're back doing the things you enjoy as quickly as possible.

As we get a little older, it's more important to follow a fitness programme that is specific to your needs and not the latest fad a celebrity is doing from a magazine.

With 30 years as a personal trainer and coach, we will ensure your programme gets you the results you want without wasting valuable time.

I've worked in the health and fitness industry since 1996, during that time I have worked with athletes from pretty much every discipline.

Together, we find the optimal training and recovery cycle to keep you performing at your best.

My clients range from children at the peak of their sports to people in their 80's who want to continue living a full life maintaining the movement they have.  

The treatments, rehabilitation and exercise plans are specific to the person I'm working with.

It's common for me to be referred to all members of the family and their friends because results happen so quickly.

"Magician"

I often call Darren a magician and I genuinely mean it.

He was recommended to me by my brother and from the first session it was clear why. His knowledge of the body is incredible and his style of practice is unlike anyone else I’ve come across. While I first saw him due to a very serious spinal injury his work is never just about one problem or one area. He works with the whole body and always adapts to what it needs on that day.

When I first came to Darren I was essentially bed bound. I had been discharged from hospital with impending cauda equina and placed on conservative management. At that point nobody seemed willing to work with me physically.

I take each day as it comes and without my weekly sessions with Darren I genuinely believe I may already have needed back surgery. He helps keep my body as strong as possible, but just as importantly he supports my mind and confidence in movement.

We are both always aware of the risks involved with my kind of disk issue. His work is careful, guided and clearly rooted in a deep understanding of the body. I feel safe in my body when I work with him which is something I did not have before.

I have since recommended Darren to other family and friends and they have all been just as impressed. Darren is not your average in his field and that difference really matters. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

"Value for money"

My name is Thomas E Ballantyne. I’m a personal trainer locally and I came to see Darren for some work on my knee. A 10 year old injury that healed but threw off the pattern of muscle firing all over the place. Just such a fantastic guy. Better than the osteopath, the massage guy, the chiropractor. Skip them and get Darren IN today!
Such intricate works were done over 3-4 sessions and I regret not doing it sooner. He knows the lot and can perform his special niche work with such precision. Such small alterations from his repertoire of expertise. Complete value for money and more. No doubt I’ll be back with more niggles in the future.

"Absolute genius"

Darren is an absolute genius. 

He sorted my painful knee joint that all the doctors could not.

"Headache free"

I was first recommended to see Darren after many years of headaches as a result of tensioning my upper back, I had tried endless physiotherapists & chiropractors many of which would mask the symptoms short term but soon enough they returned.

In just 3 visits to Darren I can happily say I have been headache free for just over 3 months now which is a massive breakthrough and huge relief to me on a day to day basis! Thank you Darren.

"Always on hand"

I started running a few years ago and within a few months had some niggles. Got in touch with Darren for treatment and with a few home exercises the niggles went away. Continued to see Darren through various injuries, he has always been on hand to help and advise. I'm 5 half marathons later and would not see anyone else. I have referred him to friends and family. He is very flexible in the times he's available. Definitely recommend him. Thanks Darren.

"Keeping my body strong"

As a new to running but totally hooked woman of 53 I was gutted to get a glute injury because it meant I had to stop!
I remembered my days of boot camp and how fantastic Darren was when my wonky body did strange things, Darren just knew what to do and I was back at it!
This appointment was no different Darren is so very knowledgeable in his area and actually beyond that! Very professionally talked me through everything he discovered and was doing!
This man's knowledge is vast!
He made me feel very at ease and worked hard to help my issue, and he did!
I will be booking back in to sort some other issues out and to maintain an injury free running technique......he has all of this information which is so vital to me with elhers danlos, I need to keep my body strong and minimise issues as I refuse to give up!

I have at home exercises to do which were sent in video form from Darren and are making a huge difference alongside the treatment. My glute is less angry with me and the hamstring isn't shouting "im vulnerable " anymore!

Thank you Darren......never retire! We need you!

Amanda Turner, Coventry

I've been a hands on therapist since 2012, prior to that I ran a successful personal training team where I specialised in body alignment and injury rehabilitation.

Your injuries and causes of pain are as individual as you are, your treatment plan is specific to you.  No off the shelf list of exercises that leave you feeling confused and frustrated.

Using NeuroKinetic Therapy, we find the root cause of your pain rather than bashing away at the symptoms week after week.  Addressing dysfunctional movement and compensation patterns stored in the brain for rapid results.

You are a major part of your treatment plan. Together, we establish a daily routine to return you to full health and pain free movement.  Contrary to popular belief, movement is a major part of rehabilitation.

I lead an active life and my dream is that I can do everything that I want to be able to do irrespective of age, I want the same for everybody who comes to me for treatment.
