The Jersey Sports & Spinal Clinic Reviews 34

Kyle is an incredibly talented, hardworking and conscientious medical professional. He completely changed the way I dealt with pain - he showed me that with a different, positive attitude to injury it is possible to prevent certain problems and live a better life!

I have been going to see Lisa Mann all this year at the clinic with various injuries and she has been wonderful in helping me with pain and movement. She has helped me through 2 fractured elbows, an arthritic knee and an Achilles operation. She really knows her stuff and I don’t know how I would have done without her help. I can’t thank her enough, it has made such a difference to my quality of life coming to the clinic. Thank you so much for getting me back to normal this year ❤️

I first saw Kyle Dougherty a few years ago for a very painful shoulder injury that not only stopped me from working out but also made everyday tasks difficult. From our first meeting, I was impressed by how quickly Kyle identified the issue—thanks to his expert knowledge—and how effectively he prescribed the right rehabilitation exercises. By following his guidance, my shoulder injury was fully resolved.

Recently, I developed a painful elbow tendon injury that again prevented me from training. It was a no-brainer to book another appointment with Kyle. Once again, he diagnosed the problem with ease and put me on a rehab programme that successfully resolved the issue.

I’ve been consistently impressed with Kyle—not only does he know his stuff, but he’s also a genuinely nice bloke. The best compliment I can give is this: whenever I have an injury, Kyle is the first person I see, and the first person I recommend to others. I’ve already referred a friend to him, who has since passed on the recommendation as well!

Following multiple complex back surgeries over several years which culminated in a spinal fusion, I started post surgery rehab with the Sports and Spinal Clinic. Initially I saw Nigel who got me mobilised and offered great advice which helped build my confidence following years of debilitating pain, both physical and emotional. I then enrolled in the Pilates classes offered by the clinic which were really great at building core strength and increasing flexibility. After making further progress I started to do some more strength and conditioning focused treatment with Alex, as well as joining the weekly S&C group class which I really enjoyed and found incredibly productive in terms of building a good base line of strength and fitness. I then started to work with Kyle who was amazing! With his support I continued to get stronger and more motivated in my fitness goals, so much so that I ran my first half marathon and have now enrolled in a gym, training 4 times per week and feeling fitter and stronger than I have for years. This is largely due to excellent treatment, support and reassurance I have received from the Sports and Spinal Clinic and I am incredibly grateful for that. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to any of my friends and family who were looking for a physio clinic. They are absolutely first class in all departments.

Nigel has been treating me recently with acupuncture on my ankles, hands and knees which is helping to combat the pain and stiffness of Osteoarthritis and is making walking, ankle flexibility and hand movements easier.
I have attended modified Pilates classes with Nigel and now Abi for many years, without their expertise and encouragement I would probably be wheelchair dependent by now, many heartfelt thanks to all at the Sports and Spinal Clinic.

Weekly Pilates with the lovely Kelly has kept my grumpy aging back going.

I had been in a great deal of pain and could no longer walk even short distances so I had a consultation with Lisa who said I was long overdue for surgery. She gave me the confidence to do it and I had two complete hip replacements seven months apart. Lisa was in charge of my rehabilitation and she was so supportive and full of encouragement which really spurred me on. She is so knowledgeable, firm but kind! The specific exercises and physio helped me recover quickly. Three and a half months post op I now have my life back and can do everything I want to do and so much more. I cannot thank Lisa and her team enough for their professionalism and kindness. There is a lovely welcoming and friendly atmosphere at the clinic and a great gym to work in so I highly recommend their services.

I had had an ongoing hip problem for around a year and had put it down to age. However, once the underlying issue was diagnosed, Lisa was able to help me strengthen and recover quicker than expected to the point that I feel better than I have in years.

We can’t thank Kyle enough for the exceptional care and support he’s given Freddie throughout his injury. From the very first session, he combined deep expertise with a genuinely caring and thoughtful approach. He listened, reassured, and always treated Freddie as a whole person, not just an injury.

Kyle’s ability to balance physical rehab with Freddie’s desire to keep fit has been invaluable, and his recovery plan helped Freddie return to sport stronger and more confident. We always felt we were in safe, experienced hands, and we’re so grateful for everything he’s done.

Highly recommend Kyle to anyone looking for a physio who truly goes above and beyond.

Kyle Dougherty is simply the very best physio for running and all other kinds of injuries I've ever encountered. Cannot praise him and the team enough!

I have attended the Jersey Sports and Spinal Clinic a few times now for various niggles and can confidently say that they are the best physiotherapists I have seen (in a number of years of needing physio!). Lisa is a fantastic physiotherapist and has always made me feel welcome, supported and corrected my issues/given me exercises catered to my needs and a pathway forward. I cannot recommend the JSSC enough!

Can’t recommend these guys enough. Both Lisa and Nigel engage and listen to whole story not just immediate aches and pains.
Wishing them huge continued success at their amazing new venue

My experience with Lisa has been fantastic. I’d been in pain for years and after a few months it’s almost gone. I’ve been given exercises since day one which increased intensity on every visit. They don’t take much time and have completely strengthened my lower body. The more effort you put in, the better the results. Lisa is so knowledgeable, extremely professional and a delight to visit, I cannot thank her enough. I’m not only running again but have the tools to keep getting stronger everyday.

Fantastic physiotherapist, friendly and professional receptionists and beautiful facilities. I had terrible pain in my knee and saw the amazing Nigel Mann who gave me reassurance that this was something that could be helped. Nigel gave me a comprehensive combination of exercises to do each week that helped immensely with the pain and helped to build up strength in the joint, he also referred me for a cortisol injection with Dr Howell in health plus. I would highly recommend Nigel and the team at this practice for any complaint that could be helped by physiotherapy.

For far too long, I ignored my shoulder issue, until it deteriorated to the point where I couldn't even bench press 10kg dumbbells. As a personal trainer and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner, this was devastating. My professional capabilities were severely compromised, and my performance in BJJ suffered significantly. I felt frustrated and helpless, watching my strength and skills diminish.

Realising the severity of my situation, I knew it was time to consult an expert who truly understood the intricacies of the shoulder joint. That's when I turned to Kyle.

Working with Kyle has been transformative. Not only has my strength steadily improved, but I've also regained my confidence. From struggling with 10kg dumbbells, I'm now pressing 40kg with ease. This progress has reignited my passion for weight training and allowed me to return to BJJ.

Kyle's expertise has not just helped me recover; it's enabled me to train smarter and more effectively in both weightlifting and BJJ. I feel like myself again, both professionally and in my sport.

If you're struggling with an injury and longing to return to your former capabilities, I wholeheartedly recommend seeking expert help. In my experience, professional guidance has been the key to reclaiming my strength and getting back to performing.

Quick to book appointments, effective physiotherapists who dealt swiftly with the pain!

I have been seeing Kyle at the Sports Clinic since 2018. I had problems with my back for years and it got so bad that my muscles would go into spasm and I couldn’t stand up straight during a flare up which was lasting 2 or 3 days.
With the help of identifying the root cause of the issue which was my left sacroiliac joint and tailored exercises I have fewer problems now than before. I have to be diligent with the exercises and also keep up with my Pilates classes otherwise I’m in trouble.
I have learnt to recognise the tell tale signs when my back isn’t right and book a follow up appointment for 30 minutes.
I don’t have private health insurance, but deciding to approach the JSSC in 2018 was the best money and decision I made. It identified my problem and I wasn’t throwing pain killers down waiting for the spasms to subside so I could move again.

Really great informed and professional team that has put me back on my feet.

Really excellent! Would highly recommend. After two sessions, already feeling significantly better. Thank you

I saw Kyle and Alex as I had two separate injuries ahead of a marathon this autumn. I had serious doubts whether I would make the start line, but with the expert help provided, I had no need to worry. I can't recommend either highly enough to get you back on track to full fitness and to maintain strength and fitness going forward. If you have any running niggles or injuries holding you back, give these guys and call!!
