I came to Jamie with an overworked and painful shoulder - couldn't have found a better clinic. Not only did the pain go away, but I've had more energy and an overall healthier relationship with my body since starting sports therapy with BPST. If I could give more than 5 stars I would - highly recommend for anyone with any chronic pain, injuries, or a desire to optimise their health!

Only 2 sessions in with Mark and I’m already reaping the rewards of a holistic approach to my chronic lower back struggles. There’s in depth history taking combined with hands on work and pain science learning. For the first time I really believe that I can forge a future without fear of pain and injury. Highly recommended for anyone who is willing to consider progressive methods and who will commit to doing the rehab outside of the sessions themselves.

I came to Brighton Physiotherapy & Sports Therapy for help with pain in my knees and hips but came away with so much more. Their approach is very holistic and in just a few sessions I came away with a brand new perspective on how to look after my body with some great tips, exercises and advice as well as excellent therapy itself. Highly recommended!

I started having knee pain while running. Mark helped me recover and has shown me exercises to help with my issue and become more stable and avoid injury in future. He was really helpful and friendly throughout and I would definitely recommend his approach.

My weekly sessions with Mark have been truly amazing. Not only has he sorted my chronic shoulder problem (rotator cuff injury), he has given me invaluable practical insight into a whole range health management issues - mind and body. I can’t recommend this practice highly enough.

I have struggled for a number of years with recurrent chronic neck and lower back pain and have seen so many experts i've lost count and had numerous treatments . Since working with Mark and following his excellent advice and fresh approach to pain I have seen a marked improvement - its been nearly 3 mths and so far i'm feeling better , more flexible and resilient and have had no chronic pain - I plan to increase the stress on my back and neck over the next few months by resuming some sports i had abandoned and I'm feeling confident that with Mark's help i can have sufficient strength and confidence to do this successfully without too many set backs

After a 2 year, up and down recovery process from an ACL injury and surgery, marred and hindered by many previous failed or unsuitable physiotherapy treatments and practitioners, I was at my wits end when I found Mark. I did a lot of research before becoming a client but really liked his ethos about the mind/body connection and have been working with him for the last few weeks. I have had excellent results following his treatments and he has given me hope of a full recovery. He has taught me huge amounts about the effects of trauma and emotions being held in the body which affect muscle function and about breath-work and learning about real relaxation. Mark gave me space to explore the physical and emotional sides of my injury and is very knowledgable about subconscious functions of the body, which I am now aware of and can identify and make changes if needed. I have learnt how to breathe properly and that pain does not always mean ‘bad’. I was living ‘within’ my injury because that was what I have become used to, but since working with Mark and learning how to breathe through pain, be an observer of it and allowing it the space to ‘be’ I have started not to notice my knee discomfort so much and I am not hyper focussed on it any more which means my quality of life has improved hugely! There is SO much more to physiotherapy than just exercises and massage. The mind has a HUGE impact on recovery and wellness if things aren’t functioning as they should. I have learnt so much about my body and mind and I cannot recommend Mark enough, I am so glad I found his practice and am looking forward to an injury free future!

Jamie really helped me get through a period of excruciating pain. Very thankful for his expertise and positivity over the last few months, and very grateful he's so nearby!

I absolutely love the whole body approach to an injury. I’ve been seeing Mark on and off for years - whenever I get an injury, I can rest assured that he will sort me out

Mark is an excellent Physio, the best I have seen. I love his holistic approach encompassing breathing, exercise, mobility/flexibility and the psychological approach to pain management.

Jamie takes a holistic approach to injury and pain, understanding both physical and psychological elements of symptoms. I found Jamie to make a thorough and unrushed assessment of my injury and as well as providing really effective hands-on treatment, he sent me away with lots of movements and exercises to help me get back to 100% in the long term. Would (and do) recommend to anyone suffering with recurring or long-term injury or pain.

When I initially met Jamie, I had been experiencing knee pain for approximately a year. As a passionate runner, the pain emerged following an intense training period. Despite visiting numerous sports therapists, physiotherapists, and sports injury specialists, none of their treatments seemed to alleviate the issue.Initially, I couldn't run at all for a few months, but over time, I managed to run up to 5k. Unfortunately, the pain would always resurface, leaving me doubting my ability to ever surpass that distance. However, after undergoing six months of consistent sessions with Jamie, I have made a remarkable recovery and am currently training for my second marathon this year!Brighton Physiotherapy + Sports Therapy adopts a unique approach that combines traditional and non traditional treatment methods with a holistic perspective, and the undeniable results attest to its effectiveness. Thank you Jamie!

I have suffered with neck and back pain for 3 years now, and have tried other professionals such as an osteopath, a physiotherapist and acupuncturist. All of these professionals have improved my pain to some degree but it always remained there in the background.Since seeing Jamie at Brighton Sports Therapy, things have changed so much for me. He has not only helped me physically but has given me emotional support as well, helping me to see the links between my anxiety and my physical symptoms and giving me tools to help me to manage this better.I really would recommend Jamie to anyone. My treatment is still ongoing but I have so many more days now where I have no pain at all which I could not have imagined was possible before I started treatment at Brighton Sports Therapy.Very happy with the service

I came to Jamie after over a year of a hip injury that had led to pain across my body. As a sporty person, I was pretty desperate and felt like I had tried everything but absolutely nothing was working. I’d seen multiple other Physios but nobody had been able to get my back to sport. Jamie came recommended from a friend and was really helpful even before my first session. After a couple of sessions my pain had reduced enough for me to be able to get back to some sports, and now months later I’m back running, climbing, cycling and more, and I am no longer plagued by my injury and pain. I didn’t really think this would be possible but I’ve been incredibly impressed.Working with Jamie has enabled me to understand my body in a new way - spotting things that led to the injury in the first place, rather than just focusing on fixing it. Also understanding how to process and sit with pain. All of this learning has been crucial as Jamie has supported me to get back into running safely - something I didn’t think I’d be able to do. I can’t recommend Jamie enough, especially for people who feel they’ve tried everything else! The more you put in, the more you will get from working with Jamie.

I can highly recommend Jamie. He works by getting to the underlying cause of the problem, rather than just treating the area where the symptoms are showing. Very friendly and professional guy who absolutely knows his stuff and teaches you a lot about how your movements and daily activities are affecting your body.

Jamie has been helping me with some pains in my neck and abdominal muscles, largely caused by a less than ergonomic home office set up during lockdown. Thanks to Jamie, my pain has subsided and I am finally getting on top of things. I am out running again (further and more frequently than ever) doing yoga, and feeling great. 100% recommended.

The man is a wizard. Had a rotary cuff issue for well over a year. Already within 1 session, I feel better.Goes above and beyond. Very technical with his work. Really knows his stuff. Can’t emphasise enough how unique and passionate he is.Listens very carefully and tailors plans accordinglyGreat stuff J

I came to Mark with ongoing issues with my right foot- after only a few sessions which covered a great deal including the underlying science of pain and dysfunction and methods to heal the problem and prevent it from occurring again my issues resolved quite rapidly and I haven't had a problem since. I even feel I will be able to get back to running- something I haven't done for years.They have an amazing ethos here which truly sees a patient holistically and considers a number of aspects which contribute pain and dysfunction. I would thoroughly recommend Mark to anyone! Thank you!

After 3 years off from pretty much all physical activity due to Carpal Tunnel and Achilles tendinitis I was completely lost and thought my body was damaged for good. No amount of rehab methods such as anti-inflammatories, stretching or weight training had worked to heal my injuries, instead the pain got worse. As a last resort before opting for surgery I decided to give therapy from Jamie a shot. From the first session, he worked nothing short of a miracle, almost all the pain from my wrists and fingers that had plagued me for years was erased, my neck pain that had begun several weeks prior was dealt with swiftly. As a bonus he also fixed several of my posture issues that had built up over the years. The knowledge Jamie used and gave me to treat these issues was a real eye opener as to how the mind and body are very much entwined when it comes to physical pain. Thanks Jamie for changing my life, cannot recommend you enough!

Having spent many months in pain and seeing numerous doctors, physios, and acupuncturistsI found that, Jamie at Brighton Sports Therapy is the best person to go to for my golfers elbow problemsWithin two sessions with Jamie, I was back able to work full time and play sports again, something I barely managed to do for nearly a yearThe passion they displayed for their work and my health was unmatchedI really can’t thank Brighton Sports Therapy enough for all there hard work

I saw Mark for three appointments this year after several years of neck and shoulder pain. I had seen an osteopath and had many a massage trying to sort out 'knotty shoulders' and increasing pain which was starting to limit my movement and I was starting to think something was wrong. The most useful think in my sessions with Mark was our conversations! We discussed the impact of stress and tension on the body, the way we move in the world, and the affect on our nervous system. He gave me loads of tools, tricks and reading and information and it was so useful and now about a month later I am pretty much free of pain and feel much more comfortable and able to move freely, and much more aware of the impact of my daily living on my body. The physio itself helped improve my awareness of how I move my body and exist in it. I'd really recommend Brighton Physiotherapy if you have a niggling/frustrating physical problem and you are open to new ideas about how to tackle it. Thank you Mark!

I have been visiting Brighton Physiotherapy & Sports Therapy for a number of months. From the first time I visited, when I was bent over double with back pain, to my current quarterly visits where I bounce out of the door feeling loose and energetic, I have always highly valued the service.The service provided is personable, practical, robust and rigorous. It also doesn't end when you exist the building. There is always plenty of homework to help continued development between appointments.Great service would highly recommend.

Jamie, in my opinion, has been amazing and after several sessions had me running pain free. It has been incredible as I thought that pain was inevitable as I grew older and continued to challenge my body.Jamie has used a holistic approach that has seen me over the last 12 months reduce my stress and anxiety levels, have better relationships, change job, be promoted and (what I originally made an appointment for) resolve my knee pain long term!

Last year I decided to address a problem with hip tightness, old injuries, pain and 40 years of intermittent limping. I saw Mark about a dozen times over a year plus. It was a big postural problem to unlock with various components. I am now pain free, with some tightness I’m still working on. Everything feels less of an uphill struggle physically and emotionally. I am now able to take on board Mark’s suggestions around well-being as well as exercises. Mark was kind, responsive, thoughtful and creative despite me being at times slightly high maintenance! I wouldn’t hesitate to return to him for emerging issues in the future.

Mark has really helped in my rehabilitation progress on my Achillies rupture. I had the injury in February during 5-a-side football after not having warmed up properly. It was a huge blow as combat sports was a huge part of my weekly activity, which meant I had to cease all activity. My goal was to get back into Muay Thai by November being able to practice kicks on the heavy bag.The holistic process including exercises, meditation, breath work, yoga and more has provided a balanced foundation to grow from. The most powerful part was understanding where my musculoskeletal system was compensating and to strengthen areas lacking, and also re-writing habits I had built up over the years.I've found especially that yoga and pilates has really helped aid and strengthen my recovery. A huge part of the work Mark does is also to connect the mind with the body and learning how to 'let go'.My coordination and balance has somewhat improved, and I'm able to execute basic combat motion. I'm about a month away from returning back to combat sports so hopefully I'll be able to make a full recovery and get back to it.

After rupturing my ACL and meniscus (by kneeling on the floor!) the reconstruction left me unable to walk, terrified of kneeling, unwilling to leave the house alone for fear that my knee would 'go' again. I've been seeing Mark since the op and can honestly say he is some sort of wizard! He not only helps with the physical physio, he helps you to understand where the pain is coming from and why, which in turn stops it. The exercises he gives after each session are easy to fit into however busy your life is and really help with the recovery. Thanks to him, I'm able to run again and can happily kneel on the floor, 100% confident that the exercises we have done have strengthened my knee. I absolutely recommend Mark to anyone who has pain, wants it gone and wants to understand the pain.

If I could give Mark more than 5 stars I would! While many physios (and I have been to a lot over the years for a recurring shoulder issue) may claim to use a whole body approach, Mark truly does take a holistic approach. I have been looking for this kind of practice for years - He is truly remarkable! Not only do I feel better, but through the resources and information he shares, I now have the tools to KEEP me pain free. I highly recommend!

I’ve come to Mark for two separate injuries, the most recent one after badly bruising my Femur up in to my hip joint. I think Mark and I would both agree that I’m a “cure me with your magic” kind of guy, but Mark has done a fantastic job at making me challenge myself, taking responsibility for my health and and lifestyle, from work life balance, self awareness to physical exercises. It’s been a journey for us both, but the improvements are becoming so visible. You get a lot more than just a Physio with Mark. Couldn’t recommend more! Thanks Mark!
Olivia Mosley

Another great session with Jamie, releasing a reoccurring pain in my right hip through work on my posture and tension points elsewhere in my body. For many years I'd assumed that the the hip joint itself was the source of the pain but now I know it's just where the pain manifests. Left the clinic feeling light and free!

I'm fairly certain that Jamie is some kind of wizard.I had my first session around 2 months ago, after suffering from an ongoing, unidentified knee injury. I've seen several physios over the past year or so with no succes, and with a long family history of knee problems, I thought that was that and my sporting days were over.I was wrong, and Jamie had me pretty much convinced of that after one session.His techniques are not conventional, and I was sceptical at first, but my knee pain showed signs of improving after the first session, and continues to do so.We've not yet finished, but the progress has been amazing, and I'm looking forward to getting back on a squash court very soon.I'd recommend anyone suffering with any injuries to go and talk to the guys here!
Jay Woods
1663063959
I can highly recommend Mark for any physio related injury. His holistic style of working with both the mind and the body and incorporating a multifaceted approach is very effective. I'm a different, more enlightened person with many more tools in the box. Many thanks Mark!

Mark assisted me in many ways but mainly as an athlete he helped better my movement and understanding of the body. Bettering my performance and reducing the chance of injury. Mark is a fantastic Physio and very knowledgeable person and I will be certain to always use Mark in the future.
Andy Hadden

Jamie's a great guy, clearly knows what he's doing, and ultimately has relieved me of my pain, and got me back on the squash court and as good as completely pain free after a frustrating 6+ months out with knee pain.I wanted to get back to playing squash again, and needed someone who wasn't satisfied to simply get me walking up and down stairs 'mostly' pain free. Luckily for me, Jamie understood what I needed better than I did, and was 100% onboard with it.Choosing a physio/sports therapist really felt like a lottery to me, but thankfully it's one I won't be playing again.Thanks so much Jamie, and no doubt see you again. 10+/10

Having hurt my knee some years ago, it was always a constant but small enough pain for me to pass up getting any treatment on however the pain started to get worse recently which led me to Jamie through another client of his' recommendation, all I can say is I wish I had been to see him earlier.We worked through a course of appointments and each session i felt not only improvement straight after the session, but a continued strengthening of my knee and body/posture as a whole.Jamie is a lovely chap, makes you feel very comfortable during the session, and has a vast knowledge that he explains in a very accessible way giving really helpful exercises to perform at home between sessions.I have just returned from a Climbing and Hiking holiday where often I would experience pain in my knee when doing similar activities, however this time I can happily say my knee was not even a concern which is a huge relief and testament to the work Jamie put in. Thanks so much!Alex

Dr Zoe Campbell - ICU consultant and Ultra athleteI received a thorough and comprehensive assessment from Jamie after experiencing knee post 5 years post complete rupture of my hamstrings.I was told by my surgeon that I would never run another marathon or do another Ironman, but with Jamie’s help, advice and expertise I’ve just ran Brighton marathon and have booked an ultra marathon for a few months time. He excellent and a lovely person too! Very happy!

After sustaining a fully ruptured achilles, and much researching of local physiotherapists, I decided on Brighton Physiotherapy & Sports Therapy. I am really happy with the therapy I have received so far. Jamie works on the whole body, which means that I felt I was getting advice, not only on how to manage my injury, but on how to limit the chance of further issues going forward. This holistic approach was immensely valuable to me, particularly in a mental and emotional capacity, which I think is often left out when talking about the body. This mental support was key to building my confidence to aid my rehabilitation, and to remind me of my challenges and triggers.

Jamie is a physio like no other.His experience and physio treatment goes beyond that of solely musculoskeletal problems. He took time to understand my history and in some further sessions was able to understand my actual needs (as I did in his techniques), to get to the root of the problem.He treats patients holistically, looking at all aspects of the person that could be causing/contributing to the problem. With me I have been able to overcome the fear of landing on my left knee, which sustained a heavy ACL and Cartilage trauma and operation years ago. Now, having had help to deal with/face the trauma and the fear it caused, I am moving fearlessly. I have an improved range of motion and a much more positive mental outlook because of these sessions
Kieran Mercer
1653248269
I could not recommend Jamie highly enough! As a former semi-pro footballer, I went to see Jamie with a list of legacy football injuries that I thought I would always suffer with. Using a holistic mix of techniques and approaches, Jamie has helped immeasurably to improve my wellbeing, fitness, performance and energy levels. I have never met a sports therapist who reads imbalances in the body as well as Jamie does or who thinks as deeply about the factors which can affect his client's fitness and wellbeing. I would recommend those with acute injuries see Jamie but equally those who want to understand their bodies better and make subtle improvements will also benefit from hugely from his sessions.
Steve Denman
1652797217
Game changing. I've had multiple injuries recently and numerous physios trying to sort them out but to no avail. Jamie took a unique, yet evidence-based approach to treating me which has rectified my issues and got me back to playing the sports I love. Whatsmore, Jamie's approach is to support your physical and mental lifestyle, meaning I now take much better care of my body and are less likely to get injured in the future. Thanks Jamie!
Ben Tingley

Fantastic service and Jamie really knows what he is doing. As an electrician/volleyball player, I am prone to plenty of knee, back, shoulder and neck issues and not only is my body feeling less pain, but my performance on the volleyball court has definitely improved. Would highly recommended for anyone that wants a working body!
Martin Spencer
1648198284
I went to see Mark with pain in my wrist and thumb. I had previously seen a hand surgeon in London and the difference in approach was unbelievable. Mark's holistic approach has set me on a path to a more relaxed and strong body all round. He has given me so much advice and information so I can really work between sessions to keep developing a healthy body and mind. Now I can play the piano with much more freedom and far less tension!

I can’t express how grateful I was to find a physio who was so much more than just a physio.Jamie looks at the person, as a whole to treat pain.Pain might seem isolated in one area. But it’s not. So when you’ve got a persistent joint pain that just won’t respond to other physio efforts, it needs tackling in other areas. Jamie takes the entire body into account, thorough and committed in his holistic approach to pain.
