Michele — in her own words

From Couch to 5K to a sub-four-hour marathon

The most amazing Sports Therapists and Physiotherapists one could ever meet. They saw me grow from a total non runner to a sub 4hr marathon runner! Not only do they keep me in shape but also keeps my crazy thoughts on track, when the maranoia kicks in! Simply the best in the business thank you.

Jo Whiley — in her own words

Sport Relief · 26 hours on a treadmill

Undertaking a Sport Relief challenge is plainly an act of madness. You tend to say ‘yes’ then panic after. However there was no need to panic because I was in the hands of The Professionals…

Rich was my adviser from the very beginning. He gave me exercises to undertake and worked on me when I was trying to get on top of a thigh injury throughout the process. Over the course of the challenge the attention I received was invaluable. I honestly don’t know how I would have got through the Sport Relief experience with my feet/legs and sanity intact without his diligent care. He was with me literally every step of the way, administering massage, draining blisters & changing my socks and shoes to protect my feet and get me to the finish line. Albeit with ice packs strapped to my knees! I couldn’t be more thankful to Rich and Megan! They were calm, professional and knowledgeable in the extreme. Thanks guys!

Kerry — in his own words

The HOPE Tour · 12 marathons in 12 days

“Just because the clinic is called F.A.S.T. doesn’t mean they rush your treatment. In December 2012 Rich and Megan accompanied myself and a team of friends on an adventure down the length of the country as we ran 12 marathons in 12 days for the charity HOPEHIV. Having to treat half a dozen knackered grumpy runners in pain day after day is no easy job and yet they managed not only to fix any injuries and get us back out on the road each day with spirits lifted and limbs loosened, but they did so with such easy expertise, charm and good humour that being hoisted onto a massage table and having an elbow dug into your bum-cheeks was not nearly as tortuous as it might have been. Do yourself a favour and put yourself in their hands.”
