For example, my achilles tendinopathy healed completely when I followed Megan's training programme. This was not the case when I went to the NHS for treatment. Her massages have also helped a great deal. I would recommend Megan to anyone who is looking for good care, advice, and treatment for sports injuries.

During every session Rich's professionalism, friendly attitude and expertise made me feel confident in the help I was receiving. He was really clear in explaining what the problem was and giving me actionable advice on recovery and returning to sport.
I can not thank him enough for his support which allowed me to get back to fitness in time for the start of the athletics season.
I highly recommend Rich and his team. Rich has really helped with my two sprained ankles. I would not have been able to compete without him! Thanks so much Rich and the team have kept me on my feet - literally and metaphorically - during my four years here.

They've helped me through a range of niggles, injuries, and even just proactive measures to stop injuries in the first place! Most importantly, they've always put the person at the centre of the treatment - figuring out how to best plan my treatment and recovery around mental health challenges I've had. As I start to apply for jobs and the next stage of my life, one of my biggest worries is how will I possibly find a physio clinic as fantastic as Rich and the team! I couldn’t recommend Richard and the team at F.A.S.T highly enough – after almost a year of successive stress fractures and plantar fasciitis so bad I could barely even walk never mind run, my spirits were so low, I fina… I couldn’t recommend Richard and the team at F.A.S.T highly enough – after almost a year of successive stress fractures and plantar fasciitis so bad I could barely even walk never mind run, my spirits were so low, I finally sought professional help. I was seen within a matter of days, and within of only two weeks (16 days to be precise) of highly effective targeted rehabilitation therapy and a clear programme of supportive flexibility maintenance advice, I was finally able to recommence running training again both injury and pain free - it’s a revelation! Now only a month or so later, I managed my first half marathon distance just this last weekend. Thank you SO much!! Visited Leslie at Fit Again over several session and helped me recover from plantar fasciitis. Would recommend Leslie, he's an excellent communicator who takes the time to listen and come up with a treatment plan. Hands down the best physio I’ve ever been to!

It was really important for me to get back riding as soon as possible and for my leg to be as strong as it was if not stronger. Thanks to these guys I have had no lasting effects of my injury and am back riding at an even higher level than I was before. There understanding of the mechanics of riding was crucial to my recovery and I am very grateful for their expertise and excellent service, I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Using power test and data to show us the imbalance of leg power really made us realise how important it is for our son to complete his strength exercises. The follow up email was really informative and the videos are great to show how to complete each exercise. We now feel really confident that working with Richard will help get our son back to full fitness. Thank you Absolutely amazing.

He made my son feel so at ease and he spoke to us about everything he was doing and why. He made us leave with so much hope that my son would be able to play football again with the right exercises and support. He was very kind, patient and helpful and very supportive of my son. We know as parents that we have chosen the best physio for our son and we would highly, highly recommend.

Richard was brilliant from the start, obtaining all the facts from me about the last 12 months and then checking out how I was walking and what was going on with my leg, he pretty much immediately got the bottom of what was causing it. He then gave me a plan, which I have stuck to and I am now reaping the benefits When I first visited. I was really down about it, and as I had tried so many different things, I had lost all hope, but he instantly reassured me that he could fix it and and he has. I would definitely go back to Fit Again Sports Therapy if I needed to and will be recommending them to others. I rate this clinic highly. I was seen by Rich Luddington within 48h of my enquiry - he was super systematic and thorough in his approach, as well as patient and precise with his explanations. 2 weeks later and I am back … I rate this clinic highly. I was seen by Rich Luddington within 48h of my enquiry - he was super systematic and thorough in his approach, as well as patient and precise with his explanations. 2 weeks later and I am back to running with no pain at all (when simply standing was painful at the time) and I have been given a clear, flexible plan for rehab and return to intense sports! I would strongly recommend it to anyone with any questions or worries re-sports injuries 🙂 Not sure which foot or ankle problem best matches your symptoms?

He’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and considerate to help you reach your goals by giving you effective PT exercises. His evaluation is also quick yet thorough — he really knows what he’s talking about and also makes you feel heard in your concerns. Couldn’t recommend him or Fit Again Sports Therapy enough!

Stepping into the clinic, you'll recognise the number of top athletes Rich has worked with over the years, and it isn't hard to understand why these athletes work with him. As a multi-sport athlete, I've picked up a range of common and unusual injuries over the years, from classic ITB friction syndrome to broken ribs, and Rich and his team have never failed to patch me up and get me back into shape. Unlike a lot of physios I've seen, Rich excels at helping you to achieve your goals - he has always respected the priority of important competitions I've needed to recover for and has helped me to manage and recover from injuries as best as possible around them. I've watched Rich and his team prepare University squads ahead of important competitions in much the same manner, both managing and preventing long-term injuries and effectively diagnosing and aiding recovery of new ones. I don't normally leave reviews, but I feel compelled to after the outstanding treatment from Rich at the Cambridge United clinic.

I had been to a different physio previously about a recurring injury to no avail and was worried I was going to miss out on the annual varsity match as a result.
Unlike previous physios, Rich really focused on finding the root of the problem and set about treating that with hands on treatment in the initial session and rehabilitation exercises that he explained before I went away and sent me videos on how to do them so I could remind myself at a later date.
I'm really grateful to fit again sports therapy enough for their help and expertise. As well as great knowledge, Rich was also very approachable, easy to get on with and so accommodating.
I cannot recommend Rich and fit again sports therapy highly enough and I wouldn't hesitate to return if I needed treatment for anything else I've sent numerous footballers, across various ages to see Richard at F.A.S.T. and can't speak highly enough of both him and his team.

I am located in Northern Thailand and Megan has always been just a email away, replying within a day of any queries or worries I had.

I have been working with Leslie who has been brilliant. He is professional, reassuring and very knowledgeable. He has been flexible with my recovery plan depending on my needs, and has been able to explain to me how the exercises are helping and how he wants to progress my recovery after each session. Being based in the Leys sports village provides great facilities to have a practice at the exercises during the visit. I would highly recommend this service to others with any sports injury, it’s very reasonable price for the service you get! This was an expert, thorough and pragmatic consultation.

Rich clearly understood my training and competition goals and set me on a rehab path to meet those. As a significantly older athlete (I am 71), it would be easy to put my injury down to the simple wear and tear of age. I felt respected and treated equally and my concerns addressed fully. I was reassured (and lucky) that my injury is likely to heal and I am clear about the way in which I can apply daily rehab to help this. I have links to on-line demonstrations of appropriate exercises. I am also motivated to address the root cause of the injury and protect myself in the future. Rich liaised with my PT who can supervise me weekly and monitor progress up to the point I am able once again to start putting some impact through the joint. Altogether a warm, supportive and reassuring experience. Follow up was offered if needed with e-mail contact available. The outstanding element for me, aside from the clear expertise, was the trouble taken to ask me my goals. Highly recommend.

I am in no doubt that his hard-work, dedication, and expertise has greatly aided both injury prevention and the management of long-term individual issues. On a personal level, I remain extremely grateful for the support which Richard gave to me following a hamstring tear in the run-up to Varsity.

On top of that, he has a real talent for explaining complex medical concepts in a way that’s easy to understand and actually makes sense. 100% would recommend I highly recommend Rich and the clinic.

Not sure which back or neck problem best matches your symptoms? Shoulder & upper arm injuries Common shoulder and upper arm injuries we regularly assess and treat — with real patient reviews below. I can’t thank Rich enough for helping me with my shoulder and saving me from an operation and also keeping me going before my hip operation. I tore my rotator cuff in the gym. I couldn’t move my shoulder more than a few inches away from my body. After a while waiting for NHS support, I called Richard, having previous had some sports massage there.
He told me… I tore my rotator cuff in the gym. I couldn’t move my shoulder more than a few inches away from my body. After a while waiting for NHS support, I called Richard, having previous had some sports massage there.
He told me that dealing with these injuries has been revolutionised in the last twenty years. “Rest” and give it time to recover was the old way, and it frequently led to life long problems or surgery. I’d been exercising the large muscle groups without giving the smaller, stabilising muscles and tendons in the shoulder enough time to strengthen too. My shoulder had become quite unstable.
He expertly checked the issues with every degree of freedom of movement, worked out which muscles were too weak and gave me a progressive program of exercises, beginning with isometrics and then using ever higher resistance bands. He highlighted three specific exercises initially, then once I could move the shoulder some others which I’ve been carrying out over the last two years.
My shoulder is no longer clicking, the joint is back in alignment and everything is perfect. Reading about other people experiences with similar shoulder injuries, I am very pleased.
I am very grateful for Richard’s expertise and that he doesn’t charge an excessive amount. Thank you very much! Leslie has been fantastic in helping me recover from a frozen shoulder.

I have just finished my treatmnet and have made a full recovery (ahead of schedule) something I simply couldn't imagine before meeting Leslie - he is quite simply a legend! I could not be happier with the service provided. Richard took the time to understand my shoulder problem, with his expert knoweldge and diagnosis, I now feel completely confident in the recovery plan. I can highly recommend Richard Luddington.
