Testimonials

After five years of problems with my left achilles tendon which culminated with a total rupture in 2005, it could have been the end of my high jumping exploits.  However, after a long and at times frustrating rehabilitation, I am back somewhere very close to where I want to be and huge gratitude goes out to Chris.

Last year my comeback year, was difficult and I seemed to be struggling with new injuries every time that I saw Chris.  Time after time he worked his magic and I was off training again.  Unexpectedly I won the UK M40 outdoor high jump title.  All of that week I had had a calf injury which had severely limited my training but treatment from Chris and I was able to compete.

This year the weekly treatments continue and this has definitely helped me to train harder and has culminated recently in me breaking the UK M40 high jump record in Belgium.  From being pessimistic a couple of years ago, I am now hugely optimistic about my future jumping and am targeting a medal in the World Veterans Championships later this year in Italy.

Chris has provided a Sports Therapy service, at our twice weekly club nights, at Leeds City Athletic Club for the past 2½ years.  He provides a high class service to all club members, with an age range of 11 years to 82 years of age and is invaluable to our athletes who use his services for injury prevention, prompt attention to 'niggles', and as part of their preparation for major competition.

Chris treats all his clients with the same professionalism, whether an élite, senior athlete, teenage athlete or fitness runner.

Leeds City AC regard the Sports Therapy service provided by Chris as one of its many assets.

I came to Chris in a severe amount of pain and a distinct lack of mobility in my lower back and pelvic area. I had been diagnosed with a slipped disc in my back and advised not to throw again - but being an athlete with unfulfilled potential and a season of goals to reach I contacted Chris for my first EVER massage.

After a couple of sessions with Chris, I noticed a great deal more movement and an increased range of mobility. Coupled with some general physiotherapy advice from the hospital I managed to have 22 competitions in 2005. I set PBs in the Hammer on 6 separate occasions and beat my previous season’s best more than 50 times in all competition measured throws and set a new Club record which had been in place for 29 years. I also gained PBs in the Shot by over a metre AND even after being struck down with a calf strain and acute tendonitis in both Achilles tendons I still managed to gain my 3rd consecutive Welsh Championship Silver Medal in the Senior Men’s Hammer this September. I don't think I'd have competed anywhere near the level I achieved this year without the help from Chris.

"Regular weekly treatments from Chris Corcoran over the last two years have been a major contributor in rejuvenating my running career by helping prevent injuries and aiding recovery from hard training. Now into my veteran years the resulting continuity in my training has been rewarded with selection for England Masters at Cross-Country. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone; I only wish he was in business twenty years ago!"

Greg Hull, Leeds City AC, 2006 British Vets Cross Country Champion
