Testimonials

Matthew has changed my disposition on what a Chiropractor should accomplish. Unfortunately my expectations are very high now, which is why I travel up from my home in Spain to see him. The method is simple and uncomplicated, but yet very effective.

I’m a regular, not due to poor work from Linda but because my job as a Drummer puts a lot of wear and tear on my muscles and joints, and I also suffer with a whiplash injury. I have had various combinations of treatment at the clinic, chiropractic adjustments and dry needling with Linda and a massage with Jacqui a few days later. The clinic offers me peace of mind knowing that I am in the best possible hands to ease my pain and make it possible for me to continue to do what I love doing.

Since seeing Linda and her team I definitely suffer less with pain, get fewer injuries and am more aware of my posture. They are my 4th emergency service!

I went to see Linda with a career threatening back problem that no-one else seemed able to treat. A scan confirmed two disc bulges. Within weeks of Linda’s treatment I was back running and in the track season that followed I ran my fastest time for five years. With regular check-ups I am now able to train fully and have been able to extend my career much longer than most. Thank you Addiscombe Chiropractic Clinic.

I started working with Matthew Rabin this winter, with kinesiology and dietary advice. Having suffered during the previous season with viral and immune problems my body needed a helping hand to get back on track and his treatment did this. I am now back on course, looking good for my third Olympics in Beijing this Summer, and hopefully a personal best.

I want to thank you for sorting my back problem. When I arrived here a month ago in pain it was after following all the usual advice of rest etc. Within two sessions the improvement was noticeable and now my back is totally recovered such that normal service has been resumed.

Words alone cannot really express my thanks for getting me back on my feet, pain free and feeling great.

You were recommended to me by a friend of a friend, someone came to clean my house for me whilst I was incapacitated. At the time I could only shuffle about using two sticks and for a while crutches, was in severe pain in my back and had not been out of the house for about four months although I had been suffering for almost eight months.

Of course I had seen my Doctor, who referred me to a Consultant who referred me on to a physiotherapist for six sessions. I paid for physio for some time privately but my condition did not improve. I was very sceptical when my friend recommended you.

On my first visit I thought I would never get up the stairs, felt very angry that I had to climb them in such pain and after sometime reached the top and promptly fainted with the pain. Tina was very kind, fetched me some water and talked to me as I was very very nervous. The you called me in and rest is as the say history, of course it was not better over night, but you persevered with me. I was greatly overweight (due to lack of exercise for almost a year by the time I saw you I was very embarrassed by it). You never made me feel awkward, in fact you gave me the encouragement I needed. Of course I was not pain free and able to walk without my sticks for some time, but as you always said what takes weeks/months/years to go wrong will take the same amount of time and even longer to put right.

I am back on my feet now, no sticks, no pain and back to walking at least an hour a day, have lost three and a half stone in weight and my diabetes is well controlled and I have you to thank for that.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you, not only to you but also your reception staff who always have time for a little chat, especially Tina who I usually see each time I visit, she always has a smile and puts you at ease.

After months of being unable to walk and in excruciating pain and many visits to the hospital, with several x-rays scan, epidurals and overnight and weeks as an in-patient, I finally was recommended to you. What a difference, the explanations and help I received from you was 'bar none', I then knew what was wrong and what I had, after being told at the hospital there was nothing more they could do and that I might never walk again. Then after the first treatment I felt the difference and over the 2nd and 3rd visits I was almost walking normally again, now I feel as if I have been given new legs, its all down to you and your marvellous treatment and help.

I can't thank you enough and would recommend you to anyone to come along and see you to feel human again.

I had suffered with lower back pain and problems with my left leg, which a lot of the time, resulted in numbness and pins and needles in my left foot. This had been going on for approximately 18 months. The Medical Doctor treated it as sciatica. I went to the hospital to see a specialist who sent me for an MRI scan. I got the appointment very quickly but had to wait 6 weeks for the result. When I got the results they told me that I had slipped a disc and that they recommend an epidural or removal of the disc by surgery. I wasn't too keen on any of the above so a friend recommended a Chiropractor to see if they could help. I got an appointment to see Martin very quickly. I didn't mention to him what was wrong just to see if he knew his stuff. He noticed the disc that was out along with neck problems. I was really surprised but after my first assessment visit the pains seem to be disappearing very quickly and I was able to dress myself without the help from my daughter. For the next couple of weeks I saw Martin twice a week then after 6 sessions we went down to once a week. I just wished that somebody had recommended going and seeing Martin sooner as I spent a long time in agony when I really didn't have to.

I would like to say a big thank you to Martin for giving me my life back and being able to bend and walk as if the problem had never occurred. Thank you very much for getting me better.
