Copying my google review here: TL;DR: Thanks to Arthur, I've returned to activities I never thought…read morepossible again. I couldn't recommend enough that you try his clinic for at least a couple of sessions.
Until 23, I lived a very active life. In late 2022, I developed severe sciatica down my left leg from a herniated L5. It was a massive blow; I felt my body was "compromised" and feared I'd never run pain-free again. Like many with brutal back pain, I tried everything: massages, acupuncture, Pilates, and standard physio. Some helped, but I never felt like my pre-herniation self.
In summer 2024, I experienced a massive flare-up: intense pain in my back, right ankle, and leg. The pain level didn't match my imaging (torn psoas, minor ankle sprain), and even as those injuries healed, the pain persisted. Over a difficult two years, walking became so difficult I had to move back in with my family. Despite seeing over 20 medical professionals, nothing provided lasting relief. I felt abandoned by a healthcare system where everyone passed the buck. Public pain clinics had huge waitlists, and private ones often pushed medication. I was repeatedly offered strong painkillers and am so grateful I refused, avoiding that slippery slope.
By year two, my symptoms were spreading to other body parts and ruining my sleep. After extensive Google searching, I found Arthur's clinic. I was drawn to the fact that he is a highly trained physiotherapist treating physical injuries, not just an internet "mindfulness guru" (though I appreciate them more now).
From session one, I saw improvements. He helped me dissect my injury and pain history, using clear scientific methodology to separate real tissue damage from nervous system "false alarms." It was fascinating to learn how the brain and nervous system dictate very real physical sensations like stiffness and tightness. Arthur is at the cutting edge of modern pain science. After running the medical gauntlet for two years, it's a great relief to work with someone I'm completely in sync with. I now understand so much more about my body, brain, and pain.
Believe it or not, three weeks ago, I went for my first run in 4 years. A month prior, I swam and biked for the first time in 2 years. I'm back to sports I thought I'd lost forever, moving into my own apartment, and reclaiming an independent life.
If you are experiencing similar symptoms, I strongly recommend booking a consult with Arthur. The price may seem high for physiotherapy, but it is entirely worth the investment and fair for the elite level of expertise you receive. As I emerge from a 4-year journey that started with an L5-S1 herniation, I feel immense empathy for anyone in the thick of this nightmare, and profound gratitude for Arthur. He helped me return to a life I never imagined was possible. I wish you all the best in your recovery.
