Well done Pam on your Video Link Swiss Ball trial today - please share this with all of your contacts worldwide as you can do it from anywhere! “I really got a lot more out of that session than I thought I would. I thought Evie was more than patient with me lol!!! I’m pain free at time of writing and this is the first time I have been pain free at this time of day since January. I’m keen to keep attending the classes so I will take a look through tomorrow. Overall I think this is positive I’m really in a good place right now”

Feel free to share with your contacts worldwide and well done Joanne’s daughter! “I’ve visited Platinum physio for myself and have recommended Neil and his team numerous times to friend and family so when my daughter, who is 18 and swims at a national level, complained of extreme pain in her scapula area during training, Neil was the first person I thought of to contact. He offered us an online appointment 30 minutes after I contacted him. However my daughter was reluctant to take it as she thought a face to face visit would be better and wanted to wait for the next available appointment, which was two days away.
The next day at training the pain in her shoulder was unmanageable and she was unable to swim, we contacted Neil again, he offered her an immediate online appointment and thank goodness we took it. His assessment was incredibly detailed, he was patient and keen to assess the extent of the injury that she had. She was given numerous exercises using both a foam roller and strength work. Neil kept in regular contact over the next week assessing improvement, encouraging her to train and keep mobile. Within one week my daughter was pain free and back to training 8 sessions a week. She’s continuing with her exercises and foam rollering and has been converted from being a reluctant online patient to and absolute advocate and I must say so am I!
Thanks so much Team Platinum - Joanne ❤️

Thank you Kathryn for this fabulous case study showcasing our unique “Accelerated Recovery” approach 👏 💃 - please share with your contacts as we treat people worldwide! “My 10 year old daughter is a competitive ballroom, Latin and freestyle dancer. She competes to a national standard. Just 4 weeks prior to our season of nationals she sustained an injury at a competition that was confirmed at the hospital as a fractured 5th metatarsal. She was sent home in a boot and instructed to keep it on for 6 weeks before she could even walk without it. She was distraught thinking her nationals she had worked for all year were over. She cried herself to sleep. That same evening I spoke with Neil at Platinum whom I had known for many years due to him treating dance related injuries to pupils from my dance school over the years.
The following evening my daughter commenced her physiotherapy sessions, building strength around the injury. We followed all of the advice from the Platinum team. Lots of icing and physio exercises as many times a day as we could manage alongside physical sessions with members of Platinum. Just 4 weeks later my daughter competed at her first nationals of the season. She made all of her finals and even managed a win. 6 weeks post injury she competed in her second national which was an enormous competition requiring her to dance round after round after round. She again made the final and was pain free. 9 weeks post fracture she competed nationally in freestyle which is the most intense and heaviest on the feet. She competed pain free not only making a final but becoming national champion.
I would say I was a little sceptical upon our commencement of this journey as we were literally doing the opposite of what the hospital advised. However due to my trust in Neil from previous experiences we decided to try it. Best decision I ever made! Trust the process, it really does work. My daughter now feels so strong again.”
