Core Body Clinic: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Adrian is brilliant. He is treating the tendon in my foot. He is also treating my husband Brian's neck aswell. We think he is one of the best and by far the most most efficient.
Fantastic experience: I've being seeing Adrian for a few years now, and for a lot of different sports related injuries. I've been having knee issues for over thirty years, and I've had multiple surgeries. I discussed getting a Sinogel injection a few months after my latest meniscus operation. Ady went through the intel with me, gave me some literature and I decided to give it a go. I can honestly say it's been unbelievably good. Even months after the injection I'm still feeling nothing like the pain I had prior to the Sinogel. It's allowed me to train on, work hard at my rehab, which in turn has benefited my knees even more. I highly recommend it. There's no hard sell from Adrian. Just solid data, and great professional advice.
Thanks, Nick, for sharing your story and the kind review. Great working with you and so pleased with this very impressive injection for knee pain. So glad it is working for you and has helped many people already.
Fantastic experience: Arthritic left thumb, this is the second time I’ve been to see Adrian for the same complaint, I would whole heartedly recommend Adrian to anyone, he uses equipment that my local GP doesn’t have, Adrian can accurately locate where the injection is to go. Thank you Adrian
Very kind of you to leave a review and we are delighted with the outcome. We wish you well.
Fantastic experience: While having a longish wait for my appointment, I was made welcome and felt listened to. The advice given was clear and the treatment very effective so far. It was less painful than I anticipated.
Thank you Susan..it was a pleasure to meet you and to help you. Thank you for thr kind review.
Fantastic experience: The treatment here was outstanding. I had a Hyaluronic Acid injection for my knee arthritis that worked brilliantly. I barely think about my knee now. And whilst I was there, I mentioned I'd had a stiff neck for 4 years and had seen 2 physios, a chiropractor and an osteopath to no avail. Adrian diagnosed and fixed it in one session! I still find it hard to believe. Can't recommend Core Boy Clinic highly enough.
Thank you Leigh.
So glad to have helped and thank you for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and knowledgeable
Many thanks for the review and kind words. Pleasure to help.
Fantastic experience: My son(14 years old) was referred to Adrian after weeks of knee pain and injury from football. From the moment we arrived the level of professionalism was outstanding . The knowledge and the way he explained every detail of my sons knee was unbelievable. He's now hopefully on the road to recovery thanks to Adrian . I couldn't reccomend highly enough .
Hi Matthew, thank you for the kind review and a pleasure to help.
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Adrian enough! I went to the GP etc. and didn't really get anywhere with the pain in my back. After an hour with Adrian he reduced the pain whilst informing me where the pain has come from. With his advice I went from barely being able to get up, to walking with confidence in less than a week. Thanks again.
Thank you for the kind review, Fraser. Glad to hear you are getting on well.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant!Had foot scans and cortisone injections in my arthritic foot and tennis elbow,sorted it out within a week...wish I had booked sooner. Also Adrian sent me some exercises for the upkeep and to strengthen my joints in the follow up appointment. I will not hesitate to contact core body clinic for any future problems I have with sports injuries, arthritic joints ect And Adrian is full of great knowledgeable advice too 5 ⭐️
Thank you for the kind words, Maria. So happy with the outcome. Best wishes.
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Adrian. Was struggling with runners knee/IT band syndrome and only able to run up to 30 minutes before the pain started. Adrian was extremely knowledgeable and was able to clearly diagnose my issue along with performing an ultrasound to check for any issues/inflammation. Adrian prescribed daily exercises along with other guidance and tips which within 2 weeks has transformed my running so I am now running pain free and back training for my marathon.
Very kind words, Declan. Great to hear of the progress.
Fantastic experience: I saw Adrian in the Swansea clinic, I had been experiencing lower back pain for at least 2 years which was getting worse. Saw my GP who couldn’t find anything wrong. Adrian got to grips with the problem straight away. He gave me exercises to do at home and worked on my back in the clinic. He recommended yoga long term to help keep me moving. After just 3 sessions I feel so much better and I am so grateful to Adrian for his help. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for the kind feedback and for sharing your story.
Fantastic experience: First appointment with Adrian today, very approachable, knowledgeable and professional. Fully explained what was going on and why he specified the treatment he did. Felt comfortable and well-informed throughout. Highly recommend.
Thank you for thr kind review, John. Great to hear you have found the session helpful and you are on the road to recovery.
Fantastic experience: Adrian is a miracle worker. He has straightened out both my injured knee and my back. I would have waited months or more likely years on NHS waiting lists. Health is priceless but his prices are more than reasonable given the results he provides.
Thank you for the kind review.
Fantastic experience: Adrian was recommended to me by a physio in Cardiff for a pelvic muscle issue. He was professional and made me feel at ease, which helped enormously for presenting my issues. My problem was sorted in 3 visits. Do not hesitate to see him if you have an issue.
Thank you, Kev. Important to let people know we can help with many problems. Best wishes
Fantastic experience: Adrian is a very professional and communicative therapist! He helped me a lot with my back pain. I strongly recommend and will be coming back if I ever need to.
Many thanks for this kind review. Glad to have helped.
Fantastic experience: We saw Adrian a couple months ago because I had hurt my leg playing MMA. He gave me a full diagnosis and exercises to help my leg, and also noticed a hypermobility i was unaware of. Thank you for your help and we would return here (well hopefully not, i dont want another injury, but i know who to call if i do!)
Many thanks, Paul for the kind review. Glad to be of assistance.
Fantastic experience: Always come away feeling so much better. Hygienic, friendly and caring.
Many thanks for the kind review.
Fantastic experience: Went to Core body clinic Mumbles with injured wrist. I saw physio Adrian Wagstaff, who diagnosed what was wrong with wrist. And had appropriate treatment over multiple sessions. I would highly recommend Core body clinic if you need to see a physio, and get expert advice for your injury.
Thanks for the kind review.
Fantastic experience: Adrian was very attentive, courteous, and friendly. Excellent physio, highly recommend.
Many thanks
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and welcoming, Adrian is brilliant at what he does and recovery is coming on great
Thank you, Liam. Very kind to share your experiences.
Fantastic experience: I would like to say that before I went to the core clinic I was having trouble with my right arm which was giving me a lot of pain ,but after a few sessions at the clic and carrying out exercises have regained all movement.
Thank you, Michael. Most grateful for the kind review and delighted we could help.
Fantastic experience: I am an ultra runner, running 80+ miles per week, out of nowhere came an inside calf ache, this didn't improve with massage so I went to see Ade, after 2 sessions of Acupuncture and home exercises I am nearly ready to run again, it;s been a painful 2 months of not running, but I am feeling ready to go, Ade has stopped me running an ultra tomorrow, instead calmed me down and put me on a walk/run strategy. You can;'t go wrong with seeing Ade.
Negative experience: Adrian was very warm and welcoming during my session. I've only been to see him once regarding an achy-neck, but during that session I felt that Adrian had focused purely on the appearance of my neck and perhaps disregarded the severity of how much it effects me. I would have liked to have been offered an x-ray to check for any traumas to my cervical spine, and a detailed critique of my posture. He provided me with a lovely massage and some basic exercises, none of which have made a difference to my neck pains 1 month later. I will be seeking other professional advice...
Fantastic experience: Adrian is an excellent physio therapist! I had been struggling with back and arm injuries through running and weight lifting. After my first session at core body clinic I felt like a new person and was able to get back to exercising, keeping me sane in lockdown. The care and expertise are second to none, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Fantastic experience: Great place, helped me with my pelvic/hf issues!
Fantastic experience: Great service, easy to talk to. Will use again.
Many thanks, Craig and very kind to post a review. Best wishes
Fantastic experience: I had trouble with my 'leg' after i had been running a little more than usual. I had been following Core Body clinic on social media, and checked to see if they were seeing anyone in person due to the pandemic. It was so easy to make an appointment and I was seen very quickly thankfully. I felt safe through the whole process, Adrian ensured Covid guidelines were being adhered too and I immediately felt at ease. Adrian diagnosed my issue, after going through various checks I was given a programme to follow that I could do at home via an app. For me this was great as I had a visual of the excersises I was given so I didnt forget (easy to forget at my age) I had a follow up appointment 4 weeks on and found the excersises worked a treat, Adrian gave me further excersises again via the app and instructions on the day. I didn't have to stop running which was really importantto me..... I woud not hesitate to call or email Adrian again if I needed to see a physio .... Many thanks Adrian
Fantastic experience: I was suffering with a long-standing shoulder problem relating to rotator cuff. I could barely lift my arm and sought help. Mr Wagstaff is approachable and professional and quickly identified the problem and provided appropriate treatment and exercises to perform at home. After 3 visits my problem has disappeared and I am back lifting heavy weights with no repercussions! I am delighted and would not hesitate to recommend Mr Wagstaff to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Not just a Physiotherapist Adrian is a Physio specialist from pelvic health to sports physio to musculokeletal. He is one of those physios that other physios refer their " tough " patients to for a second opinion. A real addition to The Mumbles area as you haven't got another physio to look after you but another top physio specialist.
Fantastic experience: I am a personal trainer, sports massage therapist and group exercise instructor and have worked in the industry for 15 years. I have seen many physios and Adrian is by far the best. He is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. I always send my clients to him and they are all equally impressed :)
Thank you, Kat. So kind of you to leave such a wonderful review.
Fantastic experience: Joe has been excellent. I sprained my ankle orienteering and was getting a lot of pain at night, which stopped shortly after my first visit. It took my ankle a while to fully recover, building up strength slowly through various exercises but now back running again. Thanks again Joe!
Fantastic experience: Excellent physio, had me seen, diagnosed, and on the mend very quickly! Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Very professional approach to my injury, helped get me back to full fitness
Fantastic experience: I first went to this physio for an injured hip on a recommendation from a friend a couple of months ago, and after a number of sessions with Joe I’m already back playing football pain free. Joe is highly knowledgable and extremely personable, resulting in a professional and enjoyable experience. Overall I would highly recommend Joe!
Fantastic experience: Adrian did a great job improving my back pain and knee pain, really clear about what was wrong and how to make it better.
Fantastic experience: When I first visited the clinic I could barely walk, I was in such a horrible pain and the pain killers just didn’t work but after my first therapy the change was incredible. I can’t praise Adrian enough. He is an excellent Physio therapist. Thank you for give me my mobility back!
Fantastic experience: Professional, enjoyable and thorough service. I really appreciate the help of my appointed physio (Joe Badham) who brought me to full strength through several appointments and a strength and conditioning (s&c) course. The staff have been really friendly and genuine which made the whole experience more enjoyable - it makes you want to actually do the s&c!
Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable physiotherapist with plenty of experience with sports injuries
Fantastic experience: Adrian is brilliant. I first saw him around 2 years ago - after seeing him on and off for a while, with niggles in my leg that I thought were related to running and bad posture, he eventually diagnosed me with an issue that is firstly hard to diagnose without imaging, and secondly not always treatable through physiotherapy. Maybe I’m cynical but I was super impressed with the fact that once he had worked out what he thought the issue was, he told me there wasn’t much else he could do and rather than continuing to see me, wrote a detailed letter to my gp and requested a referral for me to a consultant, who confirmed Adrian’s initial diagnosis. I’ve recently had surgery to hopefully resolve my issue, and am planning to use Adrian and Core Body Clinic again once I am a bit further down the road to recovery. I’d thoroughly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I recently attended Core Body Clinic for physio on my broken leg. I have to say Adrian was absolutely first class. He has amazing knowledge and a passion for his work and he performed nothing short of a miracle on my injury. From my very first session on which I attended on crutches he had me walking and within 2-3 weeks I felt like a different person. I cannot thank him enough for his amazing support and advice and putting me at ease. I would highly recommend Adrian if you are looking for someone who is top of their game and will get you the right results.
Thanks you for the kind words, Donna.
It has been a pleasure to work with you and we wish you the very best in the future.
Fantastic experience: Rachel was really fast to determine how I'd injured my shoulder, and I've regained a lot of strength in it after just 2 sessions. She's very easy to talk to and is clearly very knowledgeable - highly recommended!
Such kinds words, Matt. Thanks you for this and it is wonderful to hear how well you have covered.
Fantastic experience: I have had a couple of sports massages with Rachel and have really felt the benefits. Rachel always listens to what problem areas I have at that time and gives expert advice on each matter. The massages have really helped with my progress with training and I would highly recommend a visit.
Thank you, Emma. We are very fortunate to have Rachel at the clinic. With every success in the future we wish you the very best.
Fantastic experience: I've been treated by both Rachel and Adrian at Core Body Clinic and would recommend both highly. Rachel is super knowledgeable and friendly and her techniques have worked wonders in getting me back to running after persistent issues following a broken foot. Would definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: I'm so happy to have been rehabbing with Joe for the past 2 months. Lovely guy, knows how to have a laugh, but most importantly is VERY GOOD at his job. Thanks Joe!
Fantastic experience: I was diagnosed with Golf Elbow initially but Joe Badham did a really good job in identify that the actual issue was something else and over 4 sessions help fixed the pain on my elbow... I would recommend Joe very highly!
Dear Shafi, thank you so much for the review and brilliant to hear your successful treatment experience.
Fantastic experience: I have had fantastic treatment from Rachel. I have a complex condition which means my symptoms and needs are always changing. Rachel is very knowledgeable and is always able to help sort me out!
Thank you for you very kind review about Rachel. We are so happy to see you have benefitted from your treatment.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Adrian is extremely knowledgeable and gives great advice. I suffered an Achilles injury just over 6 months ago, but through a Adrian's help I have been able to recover much quicker than expected. Would certainly come back for any other physiotherapy needs in the future.
Thank you very much David. So very kind and well done with your rehab. Please do keep us posted on your recovery.
Fantastic experience: Rachel is an outstanding practitioner. She went straight to my problem areas without me having to say anything but she was also amenable to my suggesting specific points for treatment. She understood my concerns and even though I had several follow up massages, she treated each appointment as though it were new and did not make assumptions. She has a lovely personality and is exceptional for her age.
Thank you Rosalind for your kind review about Rachel. We are so pleased to hear about your experience.
Fantastic experience: I had 3 sessions with Adrian who identified the problem and the cause very quickly. As well as the physical treatment he emphasized the muscles to be strengthened to avoid re-injury. Overall very pleased
Fantastic experience: I have attended Core Body Clinic at the University Sportspark several times now for physiotherapy and sports massages, and have never been disappointed with the knowledge and friendliness of the staff there. They are passionate about their practice and care for their clients. Rachel is an excellent sports therapist, with great knowledge and always makes you feel comfortable (or as comfortable as one can be during a sports massage)!
Fantastic experience: I’ve attended Core Body Clinic on a number of occasions for a sports related injury. I've found Rachel to be highly knowledgeable within her field, in addition to hands-on ST treatment she has shared valuable insight into my injury and provided me with new approaches to consider in my training and rehab program. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: I found out about CoreBody Clinic online with no background information. I didn't know what to expect. After examination, Rachel very quickly identified what was the issue. She was not just discussing the issue, but also massaging/treating it and giving me an excellent set of daily exercises to strengthen the weak area. Rachel's words of encouragement about my progress and the way she explained everything so I understood what was going on at all times was beyond helpful. Rachel was also very practical in terms of suggesting appointments when I actually needed them and not for the sake of it. She was very happy to keep in contact and provide advice via email following the appointments, which was very refreshing. The best Sports Therapy and Massage I would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: From working with Rachel and Adrian, I am now, slowly, managing my various injuries. Rachel is always friendly and I love our little chats even when she is releasing particularly tender points! My calves and hamstrings have improved massively and now I see her every couple weeks to check on the situation and find even more bits to relieve. She is very knowledgeable and talks me through potential causes of the tight points so that I may correct them. Adrian is a great physio; he takes the time to explain what is likely to be going on and how the exercises given work. I've now seen him several times for various injuries and each one has improved drastically after following the advice given
Fantastic experience: Rachel is a fantastic therapist, her treatments have helped me re-build my normal lifestyle. As her personal trainer, Rachel has a very friendly and family personality and is always welcoming. She strives for potential and always gives 100% to her training, which reflects at her job in which she makes sure she does whats needed for her clients and patients. I cannot recommend someone better, Well done Rachel and thank you.
Fantastic experience: A fantastic team of superb therapists!! I can not recommend this Clinic highly enough. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and go the extra mile to help.
Fantastic experience: Rachel is young, enthusiastic and very professional. She really knows her stuff in the Sports Therapy Industry. Rachel has been treating my Hamstring, Adductors and Glutes for the past few weeks helping me return to sport as quickly as possible pain free and to help prevent further injury. Not only does Rachel treat my injury, she also takes the time to advise me of applying heat therapy, gives me further exercises to do to help stabilise the muscles and checks that I'm doing them! Thanks Rachel
Fantastic experience: I visited Adrian with a back complaint that I have had for a long time, after a few weeks treatment and exercises he gave me to do daily, my back feels like the best it has been. Highly recommend Adrian and core body clinic, great at listening to the problem you have and coming up with a plan to get well.
Fantastic experience: Rachel has been treating me for sciatica. I was originally in a lot of pain but she definitely helped alleviate it. I am now back to playing sport. Treatment was friendly and professional.
Fantastic experience: I have been treated by Rachel on a few occasions and she is brilliant. She always listens, is very approachable and provides a friendly service. She always makes sure that I leave feeling comfortable with exercises she has given me, making sure I understand what I have to do.
Fantastic experience: I recently received physiotherapy treatment from Adrian Wagstaff over the course of a couple of months to treat a knee injury I sustained while playing football. He was brilliant throughout the course of the treatment and his programme has helped to get me back to playing sport in a time frame which is much less than I thought it would be. He was very flexible with timings of appointments and his sessions were interesting and motivating. Can't rate his service highly enough. Brilliant!
Fantastic experience: Very professional attention and follow up! For a serious injury I received the correct physiotherapy and training advice to achieve a full recovery.
