Testimonials:

Today marks my one year anniversary at Function Jigsaw- if someone had told me two years ago that I’d be walking on my own two feet (with occasional hiccups) I honestly wouldn’t have believed them.

My therapist (I say this with the utmost pride!) Michael has worked tirelessly, twice a week for a year now (and continues to do so)to help me reach my goals, which even those close to me considered farfetched and unreasonable.

As a strong willed and determined individual, I was met with an equal measure of strength and positivity in order to reach my desired outcomes, for which we did- BEFORE schedule!

From being bed ridden, wheelchair bound and then heavily reliant on crutches, Michael was THE tipping point in turning around my mobility and assisting me to literally “get back on my feet”.

There are no words to describe how incredibly grateful I am for his hard work, dedication, patience and encouragement.

This attitude and demeanour stretches throughout the clinic- from Carys who deals with my incessant phone calls and warbling voicemails, to Tom who is ALWAYS passing through with witty words of encouragement, and my most recent interactions have been with Lizzy, who is an absolute powerhouse of knowledge.

I have NEVER come across therapists who are so welcoming, kind, caring and personable.

Their ethos focuses on bespoke, organic treatment in a nurturing, wholesome environment and I truly believe this is evident in all that they do.

Function Jigsaw has become a vital piece of my “puzzle”, without which I honestly cannot fathom to comprehend where I’d be.

I can highly recommend Lizzie, one of the physiotherapists at Function Jigsaw. She is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. She is very happy to discuss your problem and explain the treatment plan required to resolve or alleviate your situation. The late night opening can be very useful.

I have been visiting Function Jigsaw for many years now, with a number of injuries due to a lifetime of racing off road motorcycles. I was recommended for sports massage, approximately 2 years ago. This has now proved to be so beneficial in my ongoing rehab for injuries, but more importantly it helps me recover far quicker from a race weekend, where on a Monday morning i feel totally beaten up!

A regular sports massage enables me to get back to training and riding faster, it has become an essential part of my training week. As with all the team at Function Jigsaw, knowledgeable, intelligent and have an understanding of what a client needs.

I used Function Jigsaw for pre and post-operation recovery on a torn ACL. I have really enjoyed coming to see Tom Heeley every week. We never do the same thing and we are focused on something new. Tom has always made it interesting and put me in the right frame of mond. Now, i am back on my feet – and skis too!

After moving house in the summer I suffered with crippling lower back pain which after a few more weeks of moving furniture and DIY, eventually spread down my right leg and then all the way up into my neck too. The final straw was when I could barely get out of bed without prescription painkillers and driving and getting in my car were agony.

I contacted Function Jigsaw, as a friend at my gym had recommended them to me and Michael got back to me straight away and booked me in. I went for an hour a week for three months for a combination of deep tissue, core training and resistance exercises.

Michael was understanding, professional, friendly and very knowledgable. I actually enjoyed going to my rehabilitation sessions! I particularly liked that it wasn’t just about treatment, as Michael would work with me to demonstrate correct form and how to prevent future injury, whether in the gym or in everyday life.

It didn’t take long for me to see progress with the sessions, the pain had stopped spreading to my neck after just the first few sessions and by two months I was having completely pain free days, which shortly afterwards turned into pain free weeks.

My final few sessions focused on building my strength back up to a level which meant I could return to my usual routine at the gym and play football with my son once again.

I’m much more aware of my form now when weight training and since my sessions, my increased core strength has also helped with my yoga practice. I haven’t had any back pain at all since the last session I had three weeks ago.

I highly recommend Function Jigsaw to anyone who is struggling with injuries and chronic pain.

I contacted Function Jigsaw after injuring my calf during a tennis match. I first met with Tom who diagnosed a grade 2 calf tear and explained in great detail what I had done and what we could do to begin to get me back playing. Tom was excellent and his advice really helped me get sorted for the first few very painful days.

After 2/3 rehab sessions with Tom and Michael I could feel a big improvement and I am sure that their precise yet simple instructions were the main reason I was able to get back playing so quickly.

I would recommend Function Jigsaw without hesitation. They were professional, very personable and above all else they helped me get back fit a lot quicker than I thought.

After I broke my kneecap I had around 6 sessions with Michael and my recovery was helped significantly. Following physio elsewhere where I felt I wasn’t moving forward at all, Michael made such a difference, really pushing my knee to its limits and helping me to eventually get  back into football.

The exercises he taught me were completely different from anything I’d seen/done before and I believe this is the reason my recovery was so much quicker: The guidance for exercises to do at home and also the things not to do kept me on track between sessions.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone and thanks to him I can enjoy sport again!

Alex Brennan – Leicester

I have been visiting Function Jigsaw for almost 5 years, suffering shoulder, knee and ankle injuries to name a few. I have always received the best treatment, sometimes at short notice to help me get back on the bike and race internationally or in the UK.

Without the help of Tom this year i would not have been able to finish and win the British Championships.

Tommy Searle – Leicester

I reached out to Function Jigsaw after breaking both legs in a freak skiing accident. My road to recovery has been a long one. I have no doubt that without the empathy, patience and dedication of Tom and the FJ team, i would not be where i am now, and through their continued support i have no doubt i will be back skiing next season stoinger and fitter than ever.

Wendy Paine – Leicester

I first came to Function Jigsaw in 2014 after tearing my ACL playing rugby in New Zealand, since then i have had two operations and multiple set backs and every time i’ve gone back to see Tom and the team at Function Jigsaw.

The team at FJ are great and i can not recommend them more. They use a wide range of techniques to get you back out doing the activities you love. They are always improving and looking for new ways to treat injuries and get you back on your feet sooner. Tom always made coming for rehab fun and enjoyable, and i always left with a smile on my face.

Thank you again to all the team at Function Jigsaw.
