I can thoroughly recommend Craig Measom for anyone suffering pain or discomfort and for anyone wishing to be more flexible and confident when dealing with the physical aspects of day-to-day life.
‍
I went to see Craig onthe recommendation of a friend who said he would ‘sort me out’. I was not optimistic as previous physio therapists had put me through a series of exercises which seemed to exacerbate rather than diminish my pain. I had also been subjected to the ‘what can you expect at your age’ and ‘we aim to keep you independent for as long as possible’ conversations which, at 74, I am not prepared to have.
‍
At the time of my first session with Craig I was suffering significant pain in my leg which affected not only my ability but also my desire to walk any distance or to make any plans. I left the first session pain free. I was not skipping like a new lamb, but I was not in pain. In subsequent sessions Craig has worked on the root causes of my discomfort, is working with me on this and has given me strategies to alleviate discomfort when necessary.
‍
The difference between seeing Craig and other medical and paramedical consultants is that with Craig I feel an equal partner in my diagnosis and able to negotiate what I can accommodate. I also feel respected and completely safe. I am also fascinated by what he has uncovered in respect of my physiometry and I am also feeling so much better.
‍
I live a considerable distance from Craig’s base but am fortunate enough to have friends in the area which means I can access his services on a monthly basis.I would like to see him more regularly as would be the case if I lived locally, but I know he is available by phone should I require this. I will continue to travel to see him despite the inconvenience.
‍
After each consultation Craig sends an email to see how I am. I have never experienced this level of care and consideration from other therapists and am very impressed.
‍
Craigs holistic approach to the body and the person is empowering, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
‍
Should anyone wish to discuss this testimonial with me directly I am happy to be contacted.

Situation right before seeing Craig:
Chronic migraines, unbearable backache, arched back, severely rounding shoulders.

Craig’s knowledge, understanding, experience and support of how the body works is amazing! If I hadn’t been to see Craig I would now have been on inflammatory meds, fitness and exercise would have been over and more than likely would have had to change my profession. I wouldn’t have got to the bottom of my chronic migraines and what to do to help combat them.
I feel in the best shape I have done for years and still working on it! I couldn’t thank Craig enough!

Since meeting Craig for the first time I have rapidly gone from someone who was in chronic pain to being totally active again.
Be open minded, trust his techniques and you will not be disappointed with the results.
I feel lucky to be one of his clients

As a person in my eighties I had resigned myself to being less steady on my legs and to a loss of general strength and balance. Then I had my first session with Craig.I was very impressed by his knowledge and understanding, so much so I now have regular sessions and I am pleasantly impressed by the overall improvement I now feel in my physical wellbeing. I'm feeling better every week and am so much more confident when walking.

‍Being in my late 80s and having had a number of serious surgeries, I went to Craig to get my body working again. Now I can stand more upright and I can walk better and without the walking stick I had come to rely on. My body is returning making my life more comfortable.

Anyone with ANY problems with their back, knees, neck, hips, anywhere really, go and see Craig Measom the guy is a genius. It's almost witchcraft some of the things this guy can do. Cannot recommend him enough!!
Don't just accept problems you have and don't keep temporarily easing the pain every month, find and fix the root cause and solve it forever!!

Despite walking about 1 ½ miles a day with our dogs and being slightly underweight, my doctor said I needed to get fitter and reduce my blood pressure. My record of attending Gyms is not good, as I always tend to overdo it and so the only way was to find a personal trainer. Searching the internet for Personal Trainer Derby, Craig’s name popped up.
We met and chatted over a cup of tea about what I needed. Craig is a friendly guy, not pushy, relaxed and about the same build as me and so I decided to try an initial package of six sessions. I am just starting my third set of sessions and gradually with Craig increasing the weights, the repetitions and the running, I am feeling better. Craig has proved to be very patient, extremely knowledgeable and very experienced with a huge range of exercises to build up every conceivable muscle.
I meet him twice a week for an hour and that is enough to exhaust me and yet make steady progress. Craig has also been very helpful with suggestions of how to improve my vegetarian diet and the sort of vitamins I should be taking. Certainly things are improving and so if you are interested in getting fitter, gaining stamina or burning off stress then I can recommend that you contact Craig. He will certainly have the answers to help you.
