Who is eligible for the WDC support package?

Our program is designed to be inclusive, but due to limited resources, we can only support a select number of athletes each year.

Went in for a back massage and ended up signing up for an 18 session physio treatment! The team are really friendly and professional and helped me overcome a very old injury that had led to back pain on and off over the years. Would highly recommend

Colin Hill
Been going to Pilates for over two years. Would never go anywhere else. Small classes, qualified physios who correct even the most minor posture. Friendly environment from the time you walk in the door - reception team are so lovely 🙂
Response from the owner:Thank you Colin for such a lovely review, We always love it when you come into clinic.
Kathleen Clark
Response from the owner:Thanks Kathleen for your rating we hope you are doing well and keeping up with your program
Sandy Barnessgdn
I had dreadful problems with my left foot and I was experiencing pain between the toes and the sole of the foot. I signed up for some therapy and Megan was excellent. I was diagnosed quickly, underwent the 12 sessions gradually losing the pain and strengthening my foot to the point I actually forget I have had an issue. I would recommend WDC, they are patient, professional and most importantly they get you fixed!
Response from the owner:Thank you Sandy for such a lovely review and we are so glad that you are out of pain. We loved having you in the clinic and will miss your energy!
Tim Sully
All the people that work here are absolute stars. From the moment I stepped through the door I felt welcome, important and listened to, which are all very important things if you’re not feeling too great about yourself, apprehensive about revealing your difficulties and issues, or just intimidated by this sort of venture. The initial discussions were candid and detailed, but the resultant plans and goals were tweaked at each session to take into account areas of progress or those in need of further attention as required.

Yes, it was emotional. Yes, the therapists do seem to have magic at their fingertips as they somehow reversed years of accumulated aches, pains and grumbles. Yes, it is worth the temporary pain and discomfort you will feel as the therapists kneed you back into shape. Yes, you do need to be disciplined and ensure you keep up with the agreed exercises in between sessions. Yes, I really have noticed a big change in me.

I now sit and stand taller and much more confidently. I have no annoying aches other than in muscles which have been underused but are now being stretched. I have a very physically demanding job which now seems so much easier to do and causes me considerably less fatigue than it had done. I am more flexible and strong than I was and feel about 10 years younger and so much happier.

I have more energy, less fear and a girlfriend that is delighted with her newly energetic and pain-free partner. Without doubt one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Response from the owner:Thank you Tim for taking the time to write this amazing review. We are so proud of you and the work you did! As you said with team work makes the dream work. We Love having you in the clinic and we take the Gin bar under advisement!
Lisa Dolton
My experience with WDC has been fantastic, thank you! From the moment you walk in the friendly and efficient reception staff look after you, and the treatment I received for my injured foot was comprehensive and thorough. I highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you for a lovely review Lisa. It was great having you in clinic and glad you enjoyed the treatment you received.
Matthew Seman
Was treated by Megan who was very proffesional and spoke through everything that she was doing so I could also understand what was happening
Response from the owner:Thank you Matthew for your review.
Helen Prince
I was recommended here because of a serious knee injury. They offer the highest possible service from the very outset. All staff are highly professional and dedicated to providing the best possible service for all clients. Greeted warmly by the reception staff, given advice about services and made very welcome.
My physiotherapist, Vedika, made me feel at ease, spending my first hour ensuring she fully understood all the difficulties and challenges my injuries caused. She has healing hands! Within 7 weeks my injury significantly improved, pain was minimum and I had a personalised exercise programme. I will always be eternally grateful to her, and all the staff at WDC.
Response from the owner:Thank you Helen for your fantastic review. We love having you in the clinic and glad we were able to help you achieve your goals.
Christina Anne Mackwell

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Christina! We're thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with Megan and found the sessions beneficial. We're looking forward to supporting you in your further treatments!
