What our patients say about us
Always an excellent treatment session at Invicta I always feel better walking out than I did when I walked in ..just had hard trigger point therapy and deep tissue work from James..I thoroughly recommend Invicta Health and performanceGreat service a lot of help with my back issues, lots of tip to get back to normal movement and training after my injuryGreat service from Olivia, helping a lot with Achilles tendinopathy issues. Everything is well organised and the information given on the injury has been really helpful for progressing through the treatment and recovery. Any information required from the practice team has also been quick and friendly.I had my first physiotherapy session with James, and I left feeling really confident that I’ll be back to running three times a week without any pain. James took the time to understand both my goals and the issues with my ankle. He explained everything clearly, which gave me a lot of confidence in the treatment plan. He also gave me recommendations to work on before my next session and arranged for me to see the senior physiotherapist, Olivia, so we have a clear plan and goals moving forward. I’m feeling very positive about my recovery and would definitely recommend James and the team.Exceptional diligence to figure out the root cause from James, he worked around timezones whilst I am in living in Los Angeles and gave me a clear plan of attack around rebuilding from the ground up. I also found the app extremely easy to navigate, it’s been great for programming my sessions and staying consistent. James also understood my work and family commitments and worked around that when focusing on my recovery. Overall super impressive.James is a top guy trying to make my old knees function better Thanks JamesNice and friendly and supportive. Really helped me to get my knee pain back under control after just a few sessionsOlivia has helped me through multiple running injuries over the last year, providing expert advice, treatment, and support every step of the way. Thanks to her knowledge and expertise, I've been able to recover, get stronger and keep progressing towards my goal of completing a marathon this year. I couldn't have done it without her and would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with injuries or looking to improve their performance.Big thanks to James for helping me with my recovery from scaphoid surgery . Extremely professional and knowledgeable.I went to James with an oldish shoulder injury and despite this, they gave me options and confidence that this could improve with the right treatment and rehab. We have a clear path ahead to improve the injury and James is very clear in his instructions. The shoulder is improving and I have every confidence that it will continue to do so. I’m glad that I’ve found them!Would highly recommend, quickly identified the root cause of my pain, explained everything clearly, and gave me a manageable home exercise plan that actually worked. Fantastic, professional care from start to finishhad issues with my right knee for a long time., which was causing me unbearable pain and stiffness . , booked in with Ben he was very professional and explained everything., I had a ultrasound which showed the issues , I then had two injections, which have helped very much , I would highly recommend Invicta and for future treatment I will return.I have been to so many physiotherapists . James is the best physiotherapist I have come across. You won’t be sorry. Highly professional, very caring and knows his job. He has helped me recover after both my knee operations. Thank you James. I was lucky to find you. I would highly recommend this physiotherapist. KamalI went to see James regarding a hamstring injury that he really helped with. I mentioned that I have cervical stenosis. I had been to 2 other physiotherapists who failed to help even after numerous visits. I had given up on physiotherapy but James offered to help. What a difference he has made. Sessions can be uncomfortable but are beneficial. Thank you James.Two years ago, I was told that I needed surgery on my shoulders as my tendons were like frayed ropes. I couldnt lift my arms higher than my shoulders and it was very painful at times. Instead I contacted Invicta. I am so glad I did. James asked me what I wanted to achieve..I replied that I was sailing in two months..would be great if I could manage the ropes. And thinking on..I wanted to trust my arms and shoulders again enough to get back climbing..plus be able to do a cartwheel again! In two months James had helped me regain 90% mobility in my shoulders and build back up the muscle enough to manage those ropes when I went sailing ( 36ft yacht so I needed that strength) Its now 2 years after and Ive been back out climbing..this weekend managing a classic slab grade 3 scramble in the Lakes that involved pulling myself up to get a foothold..free climbing up volcanic rock. And yes..I can do cartwheels again. I couldnt be more grateful to James.I had three sessions with my physiotherapist, and I can honestly say he helped me so much. When I first came, I was in a lot of pain and struggling with my daily life. After just a few sessions, I felt a huge improvement and a great sense of relief. Thanks to his care, knowledge, and support, I can finally sleep well at night and enjoy quality time with my family again. I’m very grateful for the help I received and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and caring physiotherapist. Big Thank you from AdamI have used Invicta several times over the last few years with various injuries and niggles from the gym. James and team are all extremely helpful, knowledgeable and approachable. James also helped my daughter (Holly) with her rehabilitation from an ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair operation. She is back fully fit and in the gym and playing football. Highly recommended.Fantastic tailored support to help your physio needs, I would definitely recommend.Had a cingal injection at Invicta health and it massively improved my knee problem.had a few physio sessions as well and made positive progressJames the physiotherapist I saw not only did a thorough initial examination and treatment plan but also gave me confidence in his and his teams ability to support me to full recovery to get my mobility back.I was frightened and confused but was soon put at ease and able to work with the exercises advice and treatment plan and shock wave treatment.A 1st Class proffesional company that I would whole heartedly recomend (retired nurse of 48years)Olivia is great, she is very competent and professional in what she does. She talks to you on the same level, and I now consider her as a friend. My problem is now a lot better. Many thanks Olivia for the wonderful treatment you do!A professional and friendly service. Offering thorough assessment of my issue and great knowledge and advice on recovery and prevention.Really good experience with James, really knowledgeable and significantly improved my mobility following hip surgery. Great service.I can’t recommend James highly enough. He has been so patient and supportive throughout my treatment for ongoing shoulder issues. Following a steroid injection, the reduction in pain in my shoulder is lifechanging and I literally feel like a different person! Thank you!James and his team were fantastic and after getting back into running after 25yrs, they got me through 2 half marathons and my first marathon at the age of 54! Thanks so muchJosh provided an excellent physiotherapy service from start to finish. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly during each session. His treatment plan was effective, and I noticed a real improvement in my mobility and pain levels much sooner than expected. Josh also made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the recovery process with his supportive approach. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and caring physiotherapist. The location of the clinic in Sandbach is excellent, with a calm and inviting atmosphere, and the admin/booking services were seamless and helpful. Highly recommended.I was injured 10 days before a charity cycling challenge (360km around Mallorca in 4 days!) to the point where I couldn’t get on the bike when I first saw James. He took the time to build trust and confidence between the two of us to allow him to use a number of techniques to get me back comfortable on the bike. From traditional manual work, acupuncture and finally some manipulation in my neck. James is calm, knowledgeable but also confident in what’s needed and his abilities - exactly what you want. I’m normally a little uncomfortable with this type of stuff but James made me feel very comfortable, even offered to sing as he was working on my injury to distract me from the pain! He miraculously got me back on the bike in time, although I have to say at some point in the ride I wish he hadn’t! It was a tough challenge. I always recommendGreat, no nonsense consultation. The information was delivered clearly and exactly how I needed it. Unfortunately, the outcome was not the best news, with a possible meniscus tear identified, but I was very impressed with the clinic and the professionalism throughout. I’ll definitely be using the clinic again and plan to return in a month or so to reassess the injury.Been with Josh for 7-8 weeks with an on going knee issue that I had for 2 months prior. Within the first session Josh got to the route of the problem very quickly. And with the exercise’s that Josh gave me and Josh’s knowledge I’m now back at work and doing normal day to day things pain free. Can’t thank him enough absolutely brilliant! Definitely would recommend.I’ve been seeing Olivia for shin splints for the last few months. Olivia has been lovely and given plenty of advice and exercises to help with the pain, for which I’ve seen improvements over the course of the treatment. Super friendly and helpful, would recommend!Josh is knowledgeable, professional & kind. He has given me my life back with a combination of exercises & therapy. Thank you Josh, I am so grateful!After reading reviews for James, attended with him due to a knee injury and just over 2 months later am very happy that I did. Knee now pain free with full mobility and feeling stronger than it has done for some time. Thank you James, you're a good egg.I’m so glad I found James at Invicta (through a friend’s recommendation). For the past two years, I’d been dealing with ongoing tension and discomfort in my upper body, along with some inflammation around my C7 that caused additional neck pain. Naturally, I was starting to worry that it might be something more serious. James quickly identified the issue and reassured me that it was a soft tissue problem rather than anything structural, which really put my mind at ease. He provided a tailored set of exercises to do at home, and I’ve already noticed a significant improvement. The dry needling combined with massage therapy has also made a big difference in reducing my tension headaches. I’m very grateful for James’s expertise and care, and I’ll definitely be continuing with regular maintenance appointments.I went to see James 3 weeks ago with nerve pain that wasn’t helped by painkillers and was interrupting my sleep and all normal activities. I am now sleeping, off all painkillers and back to full functioning. We are now working on strengthening to prevent recurrence. I can’t recommend Invicta highly enough for their professionalism, knowledge and results.Booked to see James because of a grumbling, desk job inspired, hip. James ran a number of tests and then gave me a programme of exercises that made a huge difference in a matter of a couple of weeks. He then tweaked things to work on that progress and my hip is now back to 95% of where it used to be. As a result I've asked him to take a look at my, quite frankly goosed, shoulder, and he immediately identified some new areas to work on. James really knows his stuff and is great company too. 100% recommended 👌James was great! I came in not knowing what to expect but he set a plan out and explained how to reach my goals, even in the short time frame I gave him before needing to be fully fit. Would highly recommend!Not only good physiotherapist but answered many questions about my well being and future progtI was really happy with the service and support I received from Invicta health & performance. The treatment I received alongside the recommended exercises have positively treated the issue I went to see them about. I found the service professional at all times and I would not hesitate to recommend them.I saw James for approximately 12 weeks, including 8 weeks of shockwave therapy for acute Achilles tendonitis. James was very knowledgeable and thorough in the initial assessment and explained how the treatment plan would work. After completing the treatment I was virtually pain free in one leg and greatly improved in the other. I highly recommend Invicta as a very professional physiotherapy service.From start to finish the procedure was fully explained with no pressure to undergo the procedure -2 weeks on I am pain free and already walking without a limpFantastic place! You can really see how much they care about their patients and fixing their issues!Everything was explained to me and the procedure done. Very clear and straightforward.The team at Invicta are fabulous! Have seen James a few times for various ailments (the joy of getting older) but most recently for a shoulder injury. His care and attention in my most painful time was reassuring. He advised an ultrasound scan with Ben which led to needing an ultrasound guided steroid injection. Who was equally attentive and caring. And the speed it was all attended to made me feel cared for and understood. Then the relief was fantastic. Thank you to all the team for keeping me moving!I was suffering with so much neck pain, for a week and was getting worse. Two trips to the doctors I was on strong painkillers weren’t touching it and I called 11 1 at one point as I couldn’t get out of bed. Wondering where do I go from here. I booked my appointment on a late Sunday night after messaging several places too try and get an appointment for the next day, fortunately I was able too. I was treated by Olivia, after the first session I became ‘ unlocked’ although still sore it was half as painful after 3 days I had another session and I’m a bit sore but able to return to work and full movement . I can’t recommend Olivia enough, this is the first time I’ve had physio and the effects of it is outstanding! Thankyou so much I’m happy to be out of pain and mental happier with that aswell. Highly recommendWhen I booked in for my first appointment with James, I had already been struggling with my symptoms for about five months with no real diagnosis. Day-to-day tasks were really difficult and uncomfortable and I was at my wits end. James did a full assessment and set my expectations that this was probably going to be a long recovery. I’ve been working with James for about three months now and during that time I have had significant positive results, sooner than expected. We have built up a great rapport and he helped me to regain some confidence. I had lost with exercise. I would highly recommend James and the Services provided by InvictaI've worked with James and the team on rehab for a shoulder injury over the last year. Their guidance and support has been fantastic, a really good programme to follow for recovery with progressions added at the right time based on my pace and tolerance levels. The Sandbach site is great with lots of parking. Highly recommend James and the team for any physiotherapy needs.I spent months not getting anywhere with an NHS physio who just gave me and my shoulder some band exercises. Went to see James for a proper treatment plan. Only 3 sessions in and 80% better already. Do yourself a favour and book in if you have nagging pain or limited range of motion and want to get better.It was easy to get an appointment and parking was a dream. I came in with a bad knee thinking I would need a walking stick and Alex reassured me and after four/five sessions I left with the confidence to control any further flare ups of my osteoarthritis . I am now able to enjoy my walking again - it was a miracle. Invicta Health is the best . Thank you so much Alex.James at Invicta has been great throughout my treatment plan and the team were fast and efficient in getting me booked in and working within my timeframe. I would highly recommend!Best in class would recommend to anyone in the Cheshire areaWould highly recommend Invicta. James has helped me with multiple different injuries and through the past year.Top quality service from James. I can touch my toes again 😀Olivia is knowledgeable, friendly and puts you at ease. She quickly sorted out my neck and shoulder pain through physiotherapy and I now go for monthly massages with her.James has been simply amazing in his approach during my diagnosis & subsequent hip replacement surgery. His cruel to be kind approach kept me going through a very difficult period but his treatment and plan has meant I am now in better shape than I ever expected. Next year I hope to return to running as he has rebuilt me! Highly recommended for getting back from injury and seeing real results!The team at Invicta are all great at their job and the treatment is always first rate.Fantastic support as I prepared to run my first half marathon. James is super professional and I love the scientific/ data driven approach.I booked an appointment with James at Invicta Health and Performance after breaking my ankle a few weeks previously and the swelling and pain were not subsiding. After my initial consultation where James and myself discussed my outlook and what I hoped to achieve, at that point it was just being pain free let alone being able to run again. After working with James and Olivia over the last 11 weeks I now have full mobility in my ankle, my pain is now at a level that it does not interfere with my daily life, and I have just started running again this week. James sets out clear aims for the session and gives you physio to carry out at home to complement the session. I can’t believe how quickly I’ve gone from not walking properly, not allowing anyone to touch my ankle to running and gaining my freedom back! I highly recommend James and his team at Invicta Health and Performance.I've had a physio session with Olivia at the Holmes chapel site. Excellent treatment and very professional. I followed the video that told me how to find the office and it was very easy and plenty of parking.
Excellent! The treatment room was clean and tidy, Olivia was brilliant at her job including great people skills , which means a lot. The only slight negative is accessing the place! Thank you, Invicta.Over the last year I’ve been struggling with shoulder pain. Started seeing James around 2 months ago. With all of his expert advice and training my shoulder are completely different. I feel strong and doing exercises I really struggled with before! James has been great throughout. Really couldn’t recommend James or Invicta enough!Excellent and prompt service from Invicta health in Sandbach. Highly recommended.James and Olivia were amazing, after great treatment they got me back to 100%. Would highly recommendI was in quite some pain and fed up with myself, nothing seemed to be working and every day the pain was getting worse. I sought out Invicta physio from a Facebook post and had a consultation. James and I agreed a plan for my recovery. With the teams skill and support I am thrilled to be back running with my mates within 3 months. I've worked hard in the gym to get stronger under James guidance. The shockwave treatment helped me turn the final corner. Thank you Invicta physio.All I can say is Alex is amazing! I saw her for pelvic physio and she made me feel at ease straight away, was so compassionate, and taught me so much about endometriosis. She always left me feeling empowered about my body, and worked with me to find alternative ways that supported my neurodivergent brain. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough!Olivia at Invicta has been great at helping me with my lower back issues. She quickly diagnosed the problem and gave me the exercises to, firstly, get me out of pain, and then to build a solid core to get me back to my regular workouts. Definitely get in touch if you're in a similar position. (With Olivia, not me. I don't know the first thing about physiotherapy).Really positive experience with some excellent advice and support on back issuesI saw James for a neck and shoulder problem that was causing me severe headaches. Even after one session I was vastly improved. Four sessions later I am fully back to normal. A first class experience and I would highly recommend this clinic.Easy to get and make an appointment. Substantial amount of parking. Nice, clean setting. Friendly, supportive, non-judgemental support from a very knowledgeable Physiotherapist (James). I was asked lots of questions and had a physical examination to determine a diagnosis. James was respectful and kind at all times. I was given some exercises to start with and lots of information that left me feeling positive. My husband was with me and he was equally as impressed with the service that I received. 5 stars all day long!I have been using Invicta since July following a knee injury playing hockey. James has provided me with a great rehab plan, in addition to weekly sessions. I am now back playing hockey and able to manage my injury. Massive thank you to both James and Liv!Olivia has been brilliant at sorting out my ankle injury. Expert advice, always friendly and goes over and above to email me details of exercises that I need to be doing at home etc to get me back to full fitness. Would highly recommend.Following a stroke 13 months ago I was left with a few issues one of which was that I couldn’t fully stretch out my right left which gave me quite a lot of discomfort when walking. I was told by my GP that this was something that couldn’t be cured. After just one session with James two weeks ago I regained full use of my leg and I am now fully active again. Better still two weeks on it is getting stronger each day I am over the moon with results and my confidence has come flooding back. I am so grateful to James 👏Great service l, had back issues for years. But with the coaching and assessment through the 6 week program I feel lots better. Fully recommendCan’t recommend James and Invicta highly enough. After shoulder surgery, James guided me through the rehab process with patience and expertise. I have regained full strength and confidence and I am now back to playing rugby. First class facilities and support. Fantastic physio and a better bloke!I have been seeing Alex and she has been amazing throughout. She is extremely knowledgable and explains everything in the perfect level of detail. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough.Fantastic. I would highly recommend. James focussed on my specific symptoms and created a plan to suit me. I had instant improvement from the 1st session and subsequent sessions have continued my progress.James was fantastic, the treatment and advice I've had meant that an elbow condition I had had for some time has been fully sorted. Thank you. Highly recommend Invicta.I met James at the beginning of April 2025 from a recommendation for a triathlon club mate. James quickly identified the problem with my left knee and with my input formed a treatment plan for me. Throughout the whole course of treatment James explained the process which enabled me to make informed decisions (with his guidance) on next steps. I am pleased to say that after 10 weeks of treatment, my knee has gone from a 1/10 to a solid 8/10. I am very pleased with the progress amd will continue to work with James. I would and will recommend James to anyone who needs a physio. Thanks you so much for helping put me back on track. Best regards Jonathan - triathlete.Excellent experience from start to finish. From mapping out the recovery journey of my knee injury from first assessment to building into specific targeting sports rehabilitation movements to get me back playing football. Would recommend to anyone serious about fixing long term problemsGreat service, well explained, and helped me enormously with persistent pain. Fully recommended to anyoneSo I first booked into see James after I had started to get a pain in my hip caused by running. He very quickly diagnosed the issue and after only 2 sessions I saw a massive improvement and following his advice I have been able to keep the injury at bay. I also had a follow up appointment with Liv who was brilliant. Would highly recommend everyone at InvictaJames has been fantastic in helping me recover from my recent foot surgery. His expertise and tailored exercises have made a huge difference. I now have a much greater field of movement and significantly less pain. Highly recommend!Great service and very accommodating - really nice customer service and Olivia sorted my back out after years of neglectFantastic work and support from Alex. Got me back on track quickly post race and ready to attack the next 💪Had a physio assessment with Olivia, she was professional, made me feel at ease, a thorough assessment. I felt really positive after the assessment, knowing that something could be done. I have a plan of action and goals that I feel can be fulfilled achieved. Thank you Invicta.i didn’t think I’d be able to walk properly again after slipping a disc, let alone run and partake in sports. I was scared to even walk long distances. Not only did James give me confidence to be more active from my first session, i was walking without concern after just 2 sessions and James had me running again by session 6. Overjoyed with the service, skills, professionalism and care I’ve received!Our experience at Invicta was fantastic from start to finish, James was patient and flexible and very attentive to how my daughter was responding to what he was proposing. Would definitely recommend Invicta to anyone batting from a sports or other injury that needs support.Great customer experience from start to finish. The initial contact through to my final physio appointment has been nothing but faultless. I've used other physiotherapists and they don't come close to James and the team. I would highly recommend Invicta Health & Performance to anyone.Natasha and Ben were brilliant. My Mum is in her 80s and has arthritis in her knees, they saw her quickly, made her feel safe and welcome and offered a range of options. Can't recommend highly enough!James managed to get me in last minute which was greatly appreciated due to the pain and lack of movement I had. He is extremely knowledgeable and eased my pain significantly after just the first session. Would highly recommend. Thank you James ☺️I had 5 sessions of physio at Invicta after injuring my back. Highly recommend, all the sessions were tailored to my needs and abilities. Made a great recovery, would definitely use again.The standard of care delivered by the clinic was exceptional. Administration staff were polite, prompt and ever ready to answer my many queries. The actual procedure took place in a clean and safe environment. Ben was professional, knowledgeable and did his upmost to make me feel relaxed and calm. 10/10 Care!I’ve been struggling with a recurring knee injury that stopped me from running, but thanks to James and Liv’s professional and highly knowledgeable approach, I’m finally on the road to recovery. They created a structured recovery plan combining targeted exercises and sports massage, which has been instrumental in rebuilding strength in the neglected muscles essential for running. I’m already seeing significant improvement and feeling more confident in my movement. Highly recommend their expertise.I’ve been struggling with a recurring knee injury that stopped me from running, but James has been incredibly professional and knowledgeable throughout my recovery. He provided a structured recovery plan with targeted exercises to strengthen the neglected muscles essential for running. Thanks to his guidance, I’m seeing real improvements and feeling stronger. With clear goals set, I’m confident I’ll be back at the start line, ready to complete my marathon 🤞🏼I attended a knee Osteoarthritis workshop with James last week. I was amazed at how much information he gave and how well he explained everything, in terms that I could easily understand. I had seen a consultant who offered me a knee replacement. Nobody had explained exactly how many options are available and how I could potentially avoid surgery. I came away relieved that I had an option and booked a session with him for a week later for an assessment. Today I had an hour session with him. He tested my leg strength, which is pretty rubbish to be honest. But I really feel that with the exercises he has given me I will once again be walking my ten miles but most importantly I feel I will be able to do it comfortably. I’m the wrong side of 70 and I’m very keen to keep my independence for as long as possible, the option of just waiting until I can no longer walk and have surgery is not an option I can easily accept. What a patient man James is. He explained everything so well and answered all my questions. I’ve come away with a plan, exercises to do to build my leg strength and I feel I have found the right option for myself and that it’s something I can achieve. I look forward to seeing an improvement at my next appointment James. If you or someone you know has been told you have knee Osteoarthritis then I would very highly recommend joining his workshop. Thank you so much JamesBest physiotherapist. Very effective and experienced. Really would recommend for anyone with sports related injuries or anyone with injury preventing them from doing sports. James has really helped me understand what exercises I should do and which I should avoid during my rehabilitation and has set a realistic programme to do between sessions.I saw James with BPPV ( feeling dizzy when you lie down). After undergoing a head manoeuvring procedure, I’m pleased to say it cured my symptoms.I came to Invicta in a deep depression. I’ve had a knee ache for months. I’ve not run since October. I’ve been to a number of physios without any change. Thank goodness for James at Invicta He identified my issue, set out a plan for improvement with targeted exercises. Explaining all the stages and reviewing improvements through strength tests. I’ve just started a block of tread mill running. Depression lifted. I would highly recommend James at Invicta.James is very professional and has solid knowledge. He told me what really happened on me and gave good advice.I was so lucky to get an appointment with James after I’d had a nasty fall down some stairs, I was in a great deal of pain. From my first appointment with James I was made to feel comfortable, he listened to how the fall had happed and the subsequent injuries I suffered. He then came up with a treatment plan for me to get back to normal, which was perfectly explained to me… my plan involved appointments at the clinic and doing exercises to help at home. The brilliant thing was James videoed me actually doing the exercises where he could comment on how to get them right and how many & how often I needed to do them, it was perfect for me to follow at home as you can sometimes forget how to do them correctly. After three sessions with James I’m now on my way to recovery, you really don’t realise just how intricate your body is until you hurt yourself, this is where James is the perfect person to help as his knowledge and ability to help is second to none. I just want to say thank you so much for helping me get back on my feet again.James at Invicta is an amazing physio. After an accident at the World Triathlon Championships with 5 broken ribs and a broken shoulder, James has got me right for training again within 3 months. I highly commend his results oriented approach. As an athlete, he managed my expectation very well. His attention to details and precise range of movement and then strength programs have been hugely beneficial, providing me with videos with clear instructions along the way. As an athlete, and for specific sports injuries I cannot recommend this physio practice enough. Thanks James.I’ve always been the type to push through pain without a proper diagnosis, but reaching out to Invicta Health was the best decision I could have made. They quickly identified the issues with my shoulder and knee and gave me a clear plan to fix them, finally, a real solution! The communication and support from the physio have been top-notch, and the clinic itself is spotless and professional. If you’re looking for expert care in a welcoming environment, this is the place to go!In 2023 I sustained two injuries that completely wiped me out of sport, and resulted in me being completely immobile for around a year. As a keen sportsperson this completely wrecked me mentally and physically. I had been through three private physios with no luck, before being recommended Invicta. In the initial session, James assessed my injuries but also asked how I had mentally been coping, drawing a timeline/chart of I would feel/mentally improve reaching different short term and long term goals. I immediately felt understood and it suddenly gave me something to look forward to, an approach other physios had completely lacked. After a year of previously being prescribed "the sofa - do not walk, you must rest" - James got me walking again immediately after our first session. Fast forward a year - I'm back to doing the sports I love after James's physio plans and advice, incorporated with sport specific training. James's can-do attitude has helped me gain my confidence back, and allowed me to return to sport at a rate I have been comfortable with, but has pushed me appropriately when I have been overcautious. James has been a huge part of my recovery and return to enjoying life again, not just sport. I am ever so grateful for the service and support I have received at Invicta - It is no overstatement to say it has been life changing.I can't thank James enough for his work in helping me recover from labrum repair surgery. From the first session, it was clear he genuinely cared about my progress and understood my goal of getting back to playing matches. His expertise and tailored approach made all the difference, pushing me just the right amount while ensuring I didn't overdo it. James was always encouraging, professional, and detailed in his explanations, which gave me so much confidence throughout the process. Thanks to his guidance and support, I’ve regained strength, mobility, and the confidence to get back on the rugby field. If you're looking for a physiotherapist who truly goes above and beyond, James is your person! Highly recommend him to anyone in need of top-notch care.After months of feeling deflated and lost with my rehab I started to see James. From the first session he took the time to really understand where I was currently at and what my limitations were. There and then he formed a plan to get me moving again (making me feel so much better), he contacted my surgeon with his concerns and suggested treatment. During the sessions we work on different exercises which I then work on at home - James will video these during the session to ensure I complete the exercises correctly at home. The exercises that are given are well thought out with a clear progression - they are not just thrown together in the hope something will help. I have also seen Ben to perform an aspiration and steroid injection, he was great throughout, he explained the procedure so I knew exactly what would happen and put me at ease. I also received a message from Natasha after the procedure was completed to check how was doing - great after care! I can’t recommend Invicta enough!Been struggling for quite some time with my injury so decided to visit James at Invicta. At the first appointment a thorough assessment was carried out and an agreed plan put in place to not only treat the symptoms but more importantly work on the cause of my injury. I am on the road to recovery and would highly recommend James.I recently returned to James at Invicta after shoulder replacement surgery around 18 months prior. I still had significant pain and more than 60% difference in Strength and mobility between my good and bad shoulders. Over the last three months James has build me back from nothing, starting with solid foundational stretches and focuses on pain relief and movement to now being able to train and lift weights again confidently! James is kind, caring and considerate and deliver amazing tailor made PT sessions. Having had hundreds of hours of physio over the years from 5 physiotherapists I can say James is by far the best I’ve worked with I’m finally able to move pain free after over 13 years of pain! Thanks James!After other family members have used Invicta Health I have recently being having treatment for calf and knee issue. From first consulation to ongoing treatment James has explained the treatment, given me ongoing exercises to do at home inbetween appointments, and checked my progress before starting new treatment. Having had such great treatment for me and my family I would highly recommend James and Invicta Health.I have been having treatments at Invicta for a few weeks now and what a difference! I cannot recommend them highly enough. After years of issues, pain and treatments that didn’t work, for the first time in a long time, I feel great! The treatments during sessions are fantastic and the exercises to do at home are well explained (all recorded so I can go over them when needed). Can’t wait for my next session!I visited James at Invicta Health & Performance for a new shoulder injury which he managed to sort out in only a couple of sessions. Then for an old injury that had been niggling me for a few years. James is extremely knowledgeable, helpful & gives great health & fitness advice. Highly recommend. Thank you JaneJames has been incredible. After having my first ever surgery which was an ACL reconstruction with a hamstring graft and being failed by the NHS with no physio at all, 6months post op I contacted James and I've not looked back. I'm now on week 6 with James and after 6months of not being able to do full extension I can now do full extension, engage my quad and use my knee fully. Each session and each week I see progress. I highly recommend James at invicta knows what he is doing and gets the job done.Delighted with the results. Great to have a quick appointment for consultation and then two days later for the injection. Injection was brilliant, able to walk with no pain and have my quality of life back. Thank youI highly recommend Invicta Health & Performance! I felt that James listened carefully to what I wanted from the consultation and put a clear plan in place to help me achieve my goal! He was kind, considerate & gave me the confidence to improve my strength & mobility in my knee.The best thing I ever did was make an appointment to see James, he completely changed my life. After a fall I was still struggling with my knee after 7 months, I couldn't climb the kerb nevermind the stairs but after working with James I'm fixed 👍I have recently had 2 meetings with Jaclyn, Invicta's Nutrionist. My weight had been gradually increasing and had got to a point that I was unhappy with. I was binge eating and, although I thought I was eating healthily otherwise, I could not get myself off the binging. She has given me so much useful information, and has definitely opened my eyes. Plus, she has shown me that the things I thought I shouldn't eat, I CAN. I am delighted to say that I am now eating 3 balanced meals a day, the binging has stopped and I am losing weight. The added bonus being there is still room for the occasional treat! It was exactly the kick start I needed. If you feel you need any nutritional advice, then Jaclyn is the one to help.James has been brilliant - diagnosed the hip pain I was getting during running and has quickly set me up with a treatment plan that has addressed the pain and increased my pace!As a man of a certain age (over 60!) who has a physically demanding job, I’m occasionally prone to back issues. James has been outstanding in both his diagnosis and treatment. Not only is my issue now fully understood, his explanations and subsequent exercise regime will help me avoid future issues. Highly satisfied.Extremely professional, quietly friendly and reassuring. Treatments have always been positive and I am making good progress.Had a persistent problem with my lower back for a while. James was fantastic and had outstanding knowledge. Would highly recommend using Invicta!Went to see James as I was having shoulder pain which was impacting my workouts. After a few sessions my rotator cuff is a lot stronger and i'm back to making progress in the gym. Would definitely recommendJust finished my 10 physio sessions with James. I feel much stronger than when I started and the treatment I received has made a positive difference to my day to day life living with a chronic pain condition. I now have an exercise routine I can do at home to continue strengthening my back, legs, glutes and core. I would not hesitate to go back to see James in the future if needed.Having had annoying niggles in my hips, back and neck I was tired of not feeling 90% let alone 100% for a long time due to a significant lower leg impairment. I decided to try Invicta Physio. James is very approachable listening, then explaining how we could together tackle my issues around mobility with a goal in mind. I have been treated by James over the last 2 months concentrating on my core without doing sit-ups, wouldn’t thank you for them! Localised massage and trigger points. I can honestly say I’ve never felt stronger, my movement range is much improved and I can get up off the floor, which for me is a big deal especially when you want to play with the Grandkids. James is thorough, positive and highly skilled person. I will continue to have a regular sessions to maintain the gains achieved. Thank youJames & the Invicta team were a perfect fit for my needs, Easy to book an appointment, competitively priced and in return I had a clear path mapped out for my rehabilitation and top level treatment.Top professional treatment for my “all day at desk” back and neck. Amazing progression in 2 weeks. Highly recommended.I can't recommend James highly enough! I was struggling with shoulder impingement and lower back pain for quite some time, and James made a huge difference. From the very first session, he took the time to understand my issues and tailored a treatment plan that was both effective and easy to follow. His expertise, professionalism, and friendly manner made me feel completely at ease, and I noticed significant improvements in a short period. Although I'm not completely pain-free yet, with regular sessions and exercises, I'm now able to manage my condition much better. All I can say is Thank you!!Excellent service from James at Invicta. Works on my injury both through massage, stretch and exercises. The service does not stop with just the sessions. James provides exercises to do around sessions at home and is always available to answer queries. Highly recommend Invicta!Very pleased with the sessions with James to sort out my hand and thumb strain, didn’t take long to find the issue and resolve. Really pleased to be back to normal with it, thanks!I have seen lots of physio’s in my time but never one like James. I feel amazing after our sessions and am happy to be injury free. If you are in need of a physio do not hesitate to contact James.I have had sessions with James and Alex for two issues. Both were super knowledgeable and a brilliant help. Never knew physio could help so much. Thanks team!I would definitely recommend Invicta health, they have been working on my back, and really helped me. I will be asking Invicta to help me after I have my knee operation to help my mobility. They are very friendly and professional and always keep in touch with you.Fantastic experience from start to finish. Really helpful admin staff; experienced, conscientious and thorough physio, James; and great after sales dealing with my invoice for health insurance. Definitely recommend.James provides Great physio and friendly service at invicta health, helping you achieve the goals you set out from the start. Would highly recommend for anyone who needs treatmentIn my first session with James I found him a good listener. He asked me about my history and discussed what has been happening prior to my appt, where I was at that moment and where I would like to be at the end of the sessions. He also drew on a white board so that I could understand what was happening to my body etc. I found his sessions helpful and always came away feeling looser, able to move better and in less pain. He also sent me away with exercises shown in the session and also videoed for myself to ensure I was exercising correctly. The last few sessions he added in acupuncture which I have found beneficial in the past and this was beneficial again. Thank you James.A five star review for a 5 star service. James is absolutely fantastic and quite literally has changed my life. He is an absolute professional and also a walking MRI as he knew after 5 minutes what the MRI showed in 15. If your looking to get back to your best then don't hesitate in contacting Invictia.James was very reassuring at my first appointment to sort out a shoulder issue. Referred me for an ultrasound to investigate it further and we are now getting to the root of the issue. Invicta offer a professional and knowledge based service which I would recommend to anyone who's had physio previously and found it less than satisfactory. Give Invicta a try!James is very welcoming when you visit him. He listens to the issues and responds well. Each session is adapted to the need at that point. A knowledgeable and professional guy.James is excellent. I’m well on my way to being able to walk more the 50 yards. It doesn’t sound like a long distance but it is to me.James has worked with my son giving him confidence and support with his recoveryI had the privilege of meeting Alex back in March. I have suffered with my back for years and she was able to diagnose and treat from the first appointment. I have seen so much improvement, my only wish is that I came to see her sooner.I saw James a couple of months ago, his professionalism and knowledge was outstanding. I thoroughly recommend his services.Had a great session with James today, he has really helped me with my back looking forward to the next session.With being in the fitness industry myself I feel it’s imperative I keep on top of any musculoskeletal issues before they get out of had. With this I’ve tried a good number of physios and notice a questionable amount throw out a lot of exercises or stretches in hope that some will stick and sort the issue out. James could be further apart from this. I’ve been with James for a total of 5 sessions now and the original issue I attended with is well on its way to recovering. We started on basic movements of the anatomy on the first session and build up as and when James saw fit.I am currently seeing James at Invicta following an ACL reconstruction undertaken at a private hospital. I was looking for a specialist phsyio who was local to me and who would be able to push my rehab to the next level with the equipment in clinic rather than leaving me to do it all myself. I couldn’t be happier with the treatment and programme I have been given so far and would thoroughly recommend!I am delighted to recommend James, an exceptional physiotherapist whose expertise, dedication, and compassionate care have consistently yielded outstanding results for his patients. James combines a profound understanding of physical therapy with innovative techniques, tailoring each treatment to the individual needs of his clients. His professionalism and commitment to enhancing patient well-being make him a standout in his field. I wholeheartedly endorse James for anyone seeking top-tier physiotherapy services.Really pleased with the sessions so far with James. Made to feel at ease and just a few sessions in I’ve noticed a huge difference with knee pain that has been with me for about 15 years. Exercises on google sheets - great motivator and easy to use. Looking forward to seeing how much more improvement can be made!I returned to James and Ben to have my left knee aspirated and Injected after them successfully doing my right knee a few months prior. I wouldn't trust anyone elseJames Collinge is so knowledgeable and an excellent physiotherapist. He has helped me tremendously to sort out my back pain and to manage my ongoing problems. He has equipped me with the tools to self manage going forward. Appointments were very easy to make and all of the Invicta team I came into contact with were professional , friendly and very accommodating when I had to cancel an appointment at short notice. I can highly recommend Invicta Health and Performance.I've been going to James for a few months now and I'm so happy with my experience. Firstly, his background working with professional athletes was a bonus for me because he understood my military background and the level of fitness I had previously been operating at, and the types of injuries I sustained. I now deal with multiple issues with my physiology and he has been great at helping me target and treat them one by one. I currently work in a very physical role day to day, and I couldn't have maintained this level of work if I didn't have James helping me maintain and manage my symptoms and flare-ups on a regular basis. His aim isn't just to treat a symptom, he's given me targeted exercises to strengthen the underlying weaknesses in my body and is giving me the tools to self-manage, as well as continued support. It's rare to find a physio who works in the way James does. I love the block bookings and it's been a relief that when I've had a flare-up I already have my next appointment booked in so don't have to wait long to see him. His team are also very friendly and helpful, and Invicta as a company is brilliant.Great physio. Very knowledgeable and quick to get to the crux of the problem. Would highly recommend.I have been suffering from Chronic Back Pain on and off for several years.During 2023 the pain became unbearable; despite a course of physiotherapy, and taking strong prescribed medication, my condition continued to deteriorate. By early January 2024, I was struggling to walk and unable to sleep due to the severe pain in my lower back. I then noticed an advertisement on social media for Invicta Health and Performance. After an initial assessment by James, I started a course of treatment with him; this included specific exercises, manipulation and acupuncture, all of which were aimed at my personal needs and capabilities. I cannot believe the improvement in my condition, it is amazing. I began to feel the benefit of the treatment after the first session. Five months on, I am virtually pain free, I can walk distances again, my sleep is no longer interrupted by back pain and I have no need to take pain relief. Yes, I do get occasional twinges of back pain, however James has taught me the exercises required to both manage and improve the discomfort. I realise that I must continue to exercise in order to maintain and strengthen my back. I do not wish to repeat excruciating pain and discomfort that I was experiencing prior to January 2024. I am so very grateful to James, I cannot thank him enough for helping me, he is extremely skilled and knowledgeable and made me feel very at ease, despite being a 64 year old with little experience of exercise. I cannot recommend him highly enough.I came to see James following elbow pain which was impacting on both my gym and aerial hobbies. He has been wonderful, providing thorough assessment with clear explanations throughout. I felt completely at ease and left every appointment equipped with knowledge of what I needed to do to try and keep this pain at bay. He has helped me to get to the point of performing specific exercises at the gym pain-free as well as helping me to get pain-free for an aerial competition. Thank you!!James was easy to talk to able to analyse the resistance in my hip and tailor a hands on and home exercise plan.I have recognised considerable change in my flexibility each week and it was scientifically proven by measurements.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.I went invicta with numbness and pain an needles sensation in my left leg not know what was the issue. After my first consultation with James, he found out what the issue was and came up with a great plan! I can say I left there feeling 90% better than as was he also give me some take away routine to reach my 100%. I would recommend anyone anytime!!Highly recommend Invicta ! James really got to understand what it was I needed to sort my long standing back pain by getting to the root causes of issue and in addition understanding how it impacted my sport and ultimately helping to improve my golf swing by freeing up my movement !I have seen James and he has provided clear and concise information on my hip issues. During the session James took me through the exercises for my hip and then videoed the exercises while providing clear details on how to perform them. There has been a reduction in pain and tightness around the hip in the last couple of weeks due to the tweaks in my programme from James. Thanks.I travelled across from Hull in October 2023 to have my back assessed by James, following diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease (dehydrated discs) in my Lumbar spine. James was extremely thorough in his assessments and took the time to explain and coach me a variety of specific rehab exercises, which he also recorded which has proved a valuable resource. The facility is modern, clean and well taken care of. It’s not just a treatment table, it’s a small strength and conditioning suite where it’s possible for thorough assessments to be conducted with a variety of equipment. James is extremely experienced, knowledgeable and reassuring and I would highly recommend booking in with him for any injury issues.Went having issues returning to sport after an ACL reconstruction. After 3 sessions my knee is as good as before I got injured and I was given a physio plan to ensure it stays that way.Invicta Health and Performance what a find . I went for a consultation and immediately felt at ease. All the staff I have met and spoken to are very friendly helpful and professional. Nothing is too much trouble. James listened to me and looked at all my background and found the right and realistic pathway for me and it is working really well . I feel I have so much more movement and hardly any pain . Just strength building now . Alex was great also helped with core and pelvic work . I highly recommended Invicta Health and Performance.I visited James yesterday as I have a pain in my upper left shoulder this can sometimes flair up and causes me alot of pain unable to sleep with it. He gave me acupuncture and some exercises the pain has faded to dull ache and I had a wonderful sleep I would highly recommend Invicta Therapy.James sorted the impingement in my shoulder with a course of 10 sessions. He gave me exercises to do at home, which I am still doing a few to keep my shoulder supple. He is very thorough and knowledgeable and answered all my questions helping me to understand the 'mechanics' of how my shouler operates. Money well spent! Ann.James has helped me get ready for a competition I am taking part in. This meant understanding the specific exercises that would improve my strength, flexibility and stamina for my sport. He put together a program that has made a tremendous difference and I would have no hesitation in recommending Invicta Health and Performance. Great service!!Booked in for a course of treatment with James. He took the time to fully understand my background and history of neck / shoulder pain before recommending a course of treatment and setting realistic expectations. Each session built on the previous one, gradually adding strength and flexibility! I’m not 100% fixed but a million times better than it was! Very happy! 😃Great experience so far, treatment is still ongoing, already a huge improvement in just a couple of sessions, I've had 16+ years of pain lots of apts to see various, Drs and professionals to aid with not much of an outcome always seems to be a short term thing. James has given me the knowledge and understanding about my personal diagnosis for a road to recovery, he's given me the tools to change so I can move onwards and upwards. It's been delibitating for me not just physically but mentally, not been able to do things or very limited it's extremely frustrating, James has changed that for me and I feel like I have a positive outcome to manage myself and reset my body from bad habits, with the tools he's given me and educating me on my needs. Thanks againAs a physiotherapist I’m very fussy who I seek advice from. James, with his background in strength and conditioning as well as being qualified as both a Physiotherapist and a Sports Therapist is helping me to understand my tendon problem in more depth and to rehabilitate it with a clear view of my goal to return to running. I am impressed with his knowledge, interaction and approach to the problem and wouldn’t hesitate to refer people to him.I’m a competitive young runner who is always striving for fast times. Recently I have picked up some serious injures - such as a tibial stress fracture. Having 3 months completely off running has meant that my body isn’t ready just yet to jump back into my full training from before. I became too eager and wanted to run as much as possible again. As a result I picked up a slight calf strain in my left leg. Now since seeing James at Invicta Health, it has been an eye opening experience. Firstly, I was simply told I was doing too much from James. And that is true. As a result James has been great in the sense that he has set me up for my training camp in Portugal with a programme that we worked with my current running coach to adapt for me needs as I’m coming back from such a serious running injury. James has set me some rehab exercises to help strengthen my calves. Making them bullet proof for the future hopeful. But he has also talked some sense into me m, thinking that I don’t have to be pushing my body as hard as I was all the time. Also the great thing about Invicta, which I haven’t had really from any other physio is that you get to experience the strengthening rehab exercises in a gym just outside the clinic. This helps in the sense that James can properly go through the exercises in order to make sure I’m doing them correctly. This is so that I don’t make the mistake with doing them wrong outside of the clinic. Additionally, you can book a nutrition session with Emily. Yet to go to yet, however I’m looking forward to an in-depth discussion about my nutrition and how I can change it to fuel my performance on and off the track. Look forward to having more sessions, making me a stronger runner!Lovely and so helpful! Really knowledgeable and great sense of humour! Definitely worth attending. Thank you James.Amazing! So glad that I stumbled upon the Invicta Health website. I took my teenage daughter for a discovery session at Holmes Chapel with Alex. As a mother, with little understanding of the sport that my daughter has chosen to pursue, I booked an appointment with Alex to discuss my daughter’s needs/occasional back pain as I was worried that she might have issues later in life. Following a thorough consultation/examination, my daughter and I had every confidence in Alex. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring; we have booked a session to discuss how to help my daughter further. We look forward to working with Invicta Health in the future to ensure my daughter continues to enjoy her chosen sport safely and would not hesitate in recommending their services. Thank youVery professional business, James is really good and experienced physician, would recommend invicta to anyoneI have had 3, 45 minute sessions with James, so far. He listens and investigates the problems to find the best solution for your needs. If anything doesn't suit my abilities then he finds a workaround. I am already starting to see improvement. He is professional at all times, very respectful and able to inject the right amount of humour into the sessions. I have also spoken to Lisa on a couple of occasions who I've also found to be very friendly and helpful. I'm am pleased to have found Invicta and can thoroughly recommend them.I went to James at Invicta with a shoulder injury. He was recommend to me by a friend who had successful treatment with him. He gave me a thorough assessment and an exercise plan to help the injury…..it worked and my shoulder is now pain free. I would highly recommend him 😊After suffering an ACL injury I wanted to have a plan to be able to get back into football. After speaking to Dan, I instantly felt at ease and knew I was at the right place. He is incredibly knowledgeable and explained all of the steps with me. I’m looking forward to carrying on my sessions and I couldn’t recommend Invicta Health and Performance enoughAbsolutely fantastic service! Had a appointment a few months ago after having to access a neighbours door via means of shoulder when they had locked themselves out. In true fashion, no good deed goes unpunished and I had 2 weeks off work with a busted shoulder (not quite as robust as I used to be and need to realise I'm getting old 🤣). Had one appointment with the physio and a few days later the pain was gone and my shoulder felt more free than it has done in years! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I have had back and leg pain now on and off for a couple of years and have tried lots of different practitioners to get to the root cause but never succeeded, this was until I had the pleasure of meeting James at a discovery session which enabled me to tell James about my pain and how it affected me and for him to give a preliminary diagnosis. By the end of the session I agreed a package of 6 weeks and came out of the first meeting with a positive mindset that this time I was going to get pain free and know how to remain pain free. 'You get what you pay for' is a phrase we all use, and I got what I paid for and then some. I got a 5* service for a fraction of the cost. I cannot thank James enough for the work he did with me, what made this experience so much better than others was that James listened, he saw me as a person and looked at my symptoms and the root cause. I found the videos of the exercises I was doing that James recorded of me and then gave a commentary were so helpful, and having that coaching and motivation was a huge help, far better than just giving a diagram like has happened before with other practitioners. A fast and effective part of the program. James would always tailor the sessions for me and guided me each time on how I was doing. I'm so grateful to James and the team and would 100% recommend them.James and the team are extremely knowledgable and professional. Also they are on AXAs approved Physio list so if you have medical insurance the process is very smooth and they deal with AXA directly so I didn't need to expense anything. My calf is now stronger than ever and I was back playing football in a few months.Thank you James for all your support. I would definitely recommend.Your professionalism, friendly nature and useful advice have really aided my recovery from an accident. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to any friend/colleague of mine should they have a need for physiotherapy. With many thanks for your wonderful help during my troubled times!James has really helping me to gain confidence and strength in my legs and in the gym to recover from an ACL and meniscus reconstruction. He is very thorough through his treatment and provides structured rehab to be doing outside of the sessions which is very helpful. I am now back to playing and couldn’t be more thankful for his support!Referred to James after receiving an injury during training. Initial consultation, James listened intently, carried out an examination, and then clearly explained what he thought has occurred and the options for a treatment plan. Throughout my treatment, James has been very professional and caring, quickly sorting out my initial injury, and ensuring that all other areas of concern were covered on each visit. Would recommend James and his services to my friends and colleagues without question.Received best care which was appropriate to my health needsJames was great he sorted my knee and leg pains out and knew what he was talking about and gave me the correct treatment and exercises to do to help. Would highly recommend to anyone. Will definitely be back if I have any more injuries or problems.Professional experience, very knowledgeable and issues quickly resolved over a period time with all the treatment and exercises givenHave many injuries previous my weightlifting comp. James manage to fix my broken body and i got the result i was dreaming off.. i have recommended all my clients to him best physyo aroundI applied for a 1:1 Discovery session with James and was booked in very easily at Sandbach. James explained everything to me in a non pressurising manner at the beginning of the session. There was a practical element to discover what may be needed for future sessions if I wanted to take up a contract with him. I left the session feeling that I had been listened to and there was a good rapport established. I will be contacting James soon to start some sessionsI have recently seen both James and Alex at the clinic and been satisfied beyond expectation with their professionalism, knowledge, experience and advice. Both physicians were meticulous in their initial consultations and provided clear and sustainable treatment plans for improvement and alongside, were warm, friendly and supportive in their approach. Highly recommended.I approached James three months ago with severe pains in my lower back and have seen him regularly during this period. James could have not been more helpful putting me through a combined session of deep tissue treatment, acupuncture and a special exercise routine. My treatment is ongoing, I enjoy the programme, James knowledge and expertise is first class, I would highly recommend. Stephen AJames is very professional, thorough, personable and knowledgeable. I have enjoyed my treatment and rehab. I would highly recommend James & InvictaHelpful information given and an understanding of my knee issues. The varied exercises are altered if needed and I find it useful to have a video on my phone of me practising my suggested exercise plan.I met with James in November following a complex ankle break sustained abroad and after surgery, when I was unable to weight bear. James carefully noted my current position and medical history before setting and agreeing recovery goals. He has been methodical in his approach and caring as well as encouraging me to stay strong and positive. More importantly he has given me self belief again by building my confidence. My journey to full fitness will be a long one but I know with James’ support that I will succeed and aim to be even stronger physically and mentally in the future.Fabulous. After one treatment I feel renewed. I'm so looking forward to my next session. I feel I am in safe expert hands and feel the benefit just after one session. I'm looking forward to a new year of being pain free. Thank you to all at Invicta Health, I was feeling 80 years old now I feel myself again. I highly recommend!I consulted James regarding my painful sacro illiac joint. His understanding, knowledge and expertise is, in my opinion, second to none. After manipulation, exercises and acupuncture, already my hip is less painful and more mobile. Thank you so much James.James has made an amazing difference to the mobility in my neck after only 4 45 minute sessions.Prompt, identified issues and provided a treatment plan which supported favoured outcomes, would recommend this service.James has helped me to regain and focus my core strength after a long recovery from surgery. Absolutely tailored to fit personal and specific requirements, attention to detail, follow up and direction on moving forward. Highly recommended!James at Invicta did a brilliant job on getting my leg on the road to recovery, it had not been good since an ACL accident & operation 4 years previously. With James’s assessment & exercise regime to improve my hamstring, I’ve continued with the focus and will now be skiing again in January.Since my first meeting with James I am feeling mentally and physically better in myself. I have found him to be a good listener at each appointment and tailors my session to the issues that are causing me the most pain. I definitely leave feeling better than when I walk in.As an elderly, fat lady that has just had 2 knees and a hip replaced I was more than a little apprehensive about my visit but everyone has been truly fantastic and very supportive. No judgement just enthusiasm and encouragement. You are never to old to improve your fitness.I have booked a session to ease the stiffness of my neck & shoulders that I have been suffering from for more than a week already. James has been very helpful not only with manipulating the aggravated area but also explaining why it could have happened. He also showed me exercises I can do to help me strengthen my neck. Even recorded the exercises for me to remember. I have another session in a weeks time but I feel a great improvement already. Highly recommend their services.My right Achilles heel somehow got strained and I had to stop running - on following James' exercises and changing my running style it recovered and after a couple of months I was back running again and I haven't looked back since.Excellent friendly service, received knee injection and felt improvement within 15 mins. By the next day knee was about 90%. Enjoying walking the dog again and getting a good night's sleep.I couldn't even stand up properly when I went to see James . I was in so much pain. James has been brilliant, I am now pain freeExcellent professional service. Worth every penny. James Collinge is a brilliant physiotherapist and really knows his field of expertise.James has been amazing for me. Went into my first session with an ankle issue and mentioned a longstanding hip issue. James quickly identified the problems causing both and gave me hands on treatment and home exercises. From week 1 with a hip too weak to test to week 4 it being slightly stronger than the other side! Can’t recommend James and Invicta enoughI attended Pilates classes with Alex recently. Would highly recommend, Alex varied content of classes each week which was great. Will definitely use again.Would highly recommend Invicta! Currently visiting the women’s health physio Alex following recently giving birth and the experience has been great so far. Alex is knowledgeable, professional and approachable which has made the experience so positive!James at Invicta is very professional and knowledgeable. 2nd session out of 10 and I can already feel a difference. I would recommend Invicta to everyone who need physio etc.I couldn’t recommend James enough, I visited his Sandbach clinic for a long standing neck issue. Highly professional and knowledgeable, James was excellent in explaining everything throughout the session and helped relieve the pain in my neck alongside prescribing rehab exercises in order for the issue to resolve. Should I need to see a physio for anything (hopefully not soon!) I will be returning to James and would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone. First class.We booked our daughter in with James after she was suffering with an netball injury to her ankle. After just one session the improvement was amazing. We will definitely be using James again, he was very professional and personable, highly recommended.James is great, he identified the root cause quickly in our first session and set me on a plan of treatment and exercises with the aim of reducing pain in the short term and increasing mobility and strength in the long term. He’s very welcoming and makes you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the sessions.Invicta has helped me with a hip issue for over 18 months! James has really taken the time to assess the problem and is the first to attempt to give me a diagnosis! The exercises were really straightforward and easy to follow.I've had 4 treatment sessions with James so far, for a painful shoulder. He is very knowledgeable and encouraging. My shoulder improved from the first session and is continuing to get better. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend James, he certainly knows his stuff.I first went to see James for a knee injury that I picked up playing football. I’ve had physio at other places before but to no avail. From the first session, James was personable and gave me a detailed, tailored plan that was personal to me, that we would work to over a 4 week period. 4 weeks on, I’ve noticed a huge improvement with my knee which was also backed by data to show the progression. Couldn’t be happier or more thankful to James for having the patience with me to help me get to where I’ve got to, especially having gone to the gym before but having no idea on the correct exercises or form to work to.Invicta has been incredibly beneficial to me. James's expertise in musculoskeletal terminology is exceptional, and his thorough explanations have made a significant difference in my treatment. Without a doubt, this is the top choice for physiotherapy in Cheshire! Thanks - KaiI highly recommend Invicta, I have been going various places for physio now for around 6 months and was never given a possible root issue, every place gave me a quick fix and within a week I was back at the start, so I decided to try Invicta, following an examination & session I was given exercises to continue at home. So far I am two weeks totally pain free. I held off on writing my review just to see how things went, I personally am amazed. The service was so professional and James makes you feel really comfortable & explains the issues in a way you can relate too. I can’t thank him enough.After a very painful & unsupportive post op experience in a hospital physio dept James completely restored my faith in the profession with his positivity, knowledge & understanding. His approach greatly improved my mindset & got me back on track with the exercise regime I’m undertaking following total knee replacement surgery.5 star service. Well worth the visit couldn’t recommend moreChecked in after a week of crippling back pain Alex was professional, courteous and a gifted healer. Would highly recommend, and great value for money.I booked into Invicta after seeing they had opened a clinic in Sandbach, as at the time I was suffering with what turned out to be a short-term hip problem. James listened to my symptoms and with treatment and exercises for home the problem was soon sorted. He was friendly, professional and thorough. Thank you.Having been suffering for months and not being able to walk due to my RA I got in touch with James in relation to an ultrasound guided steroid injection and aspiration. Within a week from the consultation I was booked in. Ben and James were great, knowledgeable and the next day I pretty much jumped out of bed. I know I wasn't a normal client for James so I can not thank him enough.Visited on Friday evening for consultation for cortisone, returned this evening for the injection in Holmes chapel. Both James and Ben were extremely professional, knowledgeable, helpful and welcoming. Would definitely return and would highly recommend! Thank you to you both 👏👍😁I booked to see James a couple of weeks ago has I have been having an ongoing problem with my hamstring after two appointments I am well on the way to being 100% fit again I would definitely recommend James if you need a physioGreat experience here! Really in depth and informative discussions about how to rehabilitate and rebuild my injury. Really welcoming and great guyI highly recommend James and his healing hands. From diagnosis and treatment through to rebuilding strength and condition to prevent reoccurrence of injuries, James has been brilliant. CheersAmazing professional experience, in my first session James was clear supportive and really helpful, I can’t wait to see myself improve along with James help and guidanceJames was very knowlegable and professional both giving therapy in the clinic and advice on exercise at home. He was always positive and encouraging during my long recovery from a stroke.James Collinge is amazing! My husband discovered him first and did not need many sessions to put his back problem right. When I woke up and couldn’t move my head/neck he booked me an appointment with James. Over the years I have seen many physiotherapists for various injuries and symptoms. I have to say James is by far the best! He is a superb and professional physiotherapist. After one session I felt so much better. I fully trusted James as he put me at ease, is non judgemental and I felt like a different woman walking out. I now go to him regularly to sort out issues I have with my back, leg, knee and foot! He really takes into account my pre-existing medical conditions and physical ailments. He is trained not only in physio but acupuncture as well and has also done some manipulation on my back too. Not only does James treat my injuries he is also helping me to strengthen them to prevent further issues occurring. Although I might feel a bit sore after some sessions, he does me the world of good. I have every confidence in him and I cannot recommend him highly enough.James has been treating my knee for several months now. My injury is weakness caused by a ruptured ACL, and I had got to the point where my knee was causing me so much trouble that I couldn’t walk without pain and certainly couldn’t run. James has created an exercise schedule that has strengthened the muscles around my knee and I am now walking and running without pain - something that earlier in the year I did not think was possible. Throughout the treatment James’ approach has been first class. He started by understanding my goals and developed a programme of work to slowly build up my capabilities without putting too much stress on the injured joint. He explained what each exercise would achieve and why each was important. He has also created a set of exercises that I can do on my own in order to stop any regression. James has a very professional approach, clearly has a good deal of experience and wide knowledge of Physiotherapy. He makes each session very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking this type of treatment.I have been seeing James for physio for my trapped nerve in my neck for the past month. The treatment and excercises he had given me to treat the pain is really helping me and the pain is now is starting to ease. He is very professional, friendly and I would definately recommend him.Great service, helped me get back playing rugby after shoulder surgery. Would recommend to anyone.James is hugely knowledgeable and easy to work with. My progress with him is better than any other physio.James is so attentive, knowledgeable and professional, I highly recommend his services.I was impressed with James from the start. He spent time discussing and assessing my shoulder injury. After just a few weeks of therapy, exercises in the gym and homework the improvement is huge. If like me you’re not a ‘sporty’ person please don’t think physio is for you, it really is for everyone. - I just wish i’d found James sooner.I had an initial consultation with James as I’ve been having issues with poor flexibility in my knees. He’s given me some exercises to do to help my range of movement and has been supportive of my need to stay exercising. I would thoroughly recommend Invicta.We contacted these guys as they were highly recommended, my son has had numerous knee dislocations so we needed someone knowledgeable to help him. We have had 2 sessions with James and are confident that my son is on the right track back to fitness.My treatment plan is really working and has greatly improved my fitness and general health : James is firm and motivatingI’ve been seeing James for a few months for lower back pain and would highly recommend him to anyone; his treatments in our sessions alongside his rehab exercises that I complete at home are helping me get back on track as quickly and safely as possible. He is a real expert in his field and has a friendly, professional approach - I’ve seen many different physios over the years and can say that James is one of the best!James has supported me over the last 3 months in a hamstring tear recovery. James has not only helped me to get back to full fitness but has educated me along the way on how to prevent something like this in the future. Highly recommended!I have worked with James since I received extensive bilateral knee surgery almost 9 months ago. He has been diligent with his programming ensuring my treatment plans are evidence based and thoroughly reasoned. His knowledge and understanding of pivotal milestones throughout the rehabilitation journey is exceptional. In addition to his comprehension of strength and conditioning principles, his communication skills to allay my fears and anxieties post surgery are second to none. Overall, James displays the upmost professionalism and knowledge to help you reach your goal; a reason why I would not go elsewhere.The physio support I received from James was excellent. He took time to understand me, my situation, and provide expert treatment. James following up with rehabilitation exercises and post treatment messages to ensure I was progressing. I would definitely recommend James to others. Thanks James - still on the mend !I am currently seeing James with a knee injury I have had for several years. Since I have started my physio. He recommended a treatment which I have seen a great improvement with my problem. I am very impressed with the treatment I have received so far and would highly recommend .Very knowledgeable and helped me understand new effective ways to improve my condition.I went to James with a back problem and he quickly diagnosed the problem and took me through a journey of treatment, rehab and prevention sessions with exercises to help in the future. Highly recommend.Brilliant service by James, very professional, went to him with runners knee and had me back to normal in no time,great value for moneyI booked to see James after my gym coach recommended him to me as I was suffering with pain in my arm over quite a few months. From the first session I knew I was in good hands as he used his expertise and knowledge to diagnose how and where the problem lay. After several sessions and an intense exercise programme I couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommended. Thank you JamesLoad more

Caden Cunningham, GB Taekwondo & Olympic Silver Medallist
“‘Ben is simply one of if not the best physio in the world. In and outside the physio room Ben has helped me improve and grow to levels not many people could ever reach. I started working with Ben 5 years ago and since then he has aided my career in becoming the youngest heavyweight to win the European Games and Grand Prix and more recently achieving an Olympic Silver last year in Paris. The knowledge Ben delivers and in the way he does is second to none, calming down any erratic fears or worries an athletes builds up in their heads and he makes not just the return to play but the return to greatness seamless and almost too easy, I owe a great deal to this man for what he shares and how attentive he is with all his athletes and clients”
Manu Tuilagi, England and Bayonne Rugby player

Highly recommend a visit for Women’s Health issues!”

I feel his creativity in treatments and exercises has been what really has made the difference in feeling a lot less pain in my shoulders and neck.

“I’ve been working with Ben for the last 7 years, and I can honestly say he’s been a huge part of my rehab and strength journey. Not only is he super knowledgeable and professional, but
he’s also just a really good guy. Performing at the highest level is a challenging and
disciplined journey so having the right team is the most important thing, and I am super
grateful for him to be part of my journey. Ben takes the time to understand exactly what I need and adapts every session to make sure I’m making progress and hitting the targets I need. Over the years, he’s become a great friend
too, always there to encourage me, push me when I need it, and make sure I stay on track. if you’re looking for someone who really knows their stuff and genuinely cares about helping you get better and stronger.”
