CT Clinic - COPA & Physiotherapy Therapy | Acupuncture Treatment | Deep Tissue Massage

I came to CT Clinic last April after not being able to bear my upper back / neck pain and discomfort any longer. I'd been to my usual sports physio 3 or 4 times to try and help the issue but the next day it had returned so I needed to find someone else who could get to the bottom of the problem. I was always very active both in my work and personal life, but over the last year or so I had been driving alot more and sitting at a desk for maybe 10 hours a day and my body had just seized up due to poor posture. After meeting with Ammar and having my first session I was told I needed to rest as much as possible to prevent the muscles getting tighter again and ending up back to square one. I found this a difficult time as I was getting frustrated not being able to go to the gym and do the things I loved, but Ammar told me I had to trust him and the process. Now after weeks of physio I am now pain free and back playing football again. I have incredible movement in my neck and back I can't thank Ammar enough for what he has done as I had suffered with this issue for about 8 months, I even had a nerve pain down my left thigh which he managed to fix with only 2 sessions due to a very stiff lower back. I continue with the stretches and workouts he gave me to help prevent this issue happening again and I would recommend him to anyone who has a pain issue. It is treatable in the right hands

Went for a simple running injury issue. They gave a good (PAINFUL) sports massage, but provided no exercises to prevent injury in the future, just told me to run less. Was extremely dismissive about using yoga to warm up/ cool down, and instead gave me boring stretches that actually did less than the yoga. They treated the pain and not the cause. Also, attitude was terrible. They were extremely condescending about things they knew nothing about, and said some rubbish about not respecting doctors advice which made me question their own 'expertise'. If mansplaining is a thing, there is a large dose of it here. The guy actually told me I could think my long-term anxiety/ depression away if I just tried. Ladies, if you have a running injury go to Withington Physio, they are cheaper and much better. Guys if you want a narrow-minded sports masseur to talk out of your *** with, CT Clinic is your place.

Id been suffering from pain and discomfort in my neck area for about two years before contacting CT clinic. Although I never had severe pain at any point, it constantly made me uncomfortable. I couldnt even work efficiently because the neck pain/discomfort bothered me at work. It was a problem even when I was doing normal activities like playing football or reading. I tried different painkillers and ointments but none of them got rid of it. Immediately after my first appointment with CT, I knew I made the right decision. With Dr Ammars stretching tips and COPA therapy skills, my neck pain/discomfort had mitigated significantly after my 3rd visit. I couldnt believe how effective Dr Ammars method was. I asked him how he was able to tackle the exact issues I have in such a short period and his answer was 21 years of experience, which completely makes sense. Im certain that within my next few visits, the neck pain will be a thing of the past and will be able to do all my work and daily activities without any pain. Dr Ammar is the perfect chronic pain specialist for anyone suffering from any type of muscle or joint pains. Give CT Clinic a chance and youll be glad you did.

I went to CT Clinic with a couple of issues I was having on my left shoulder for 3-4 months. Specifically, there was a clicking noise when lifting my arm upwards to the point where my elbow would go above shoulder level. When doing so without any weights or resistance, it would just feel akward, but when doing so with light weights or resistance it was causing discomfort. Furthermore, when pushing either forward (like doing push-ups) or bringing the hands from side to front (like doing a pec-fly), my rear delt on the same shoulder was flaring up in a painful manner. I was examined during the first session by Ammar on not just those movements and pain, but also on various other movements of the arms and shoulders. I was then given explanations as to what methodology was going to be used (in plain english, deep tissue massage and acupuncture) with the aim of fixing the issue as quickly as possible in a permanent manner. Additionally, I was given instructions for a series of stretches to perform on regular intervals during the day on a daily basis in order to maintain the benefits of the treatment. Within 4 sessions, including the one for the initial examination, both of the issues I had were completely gone - both the clicking noise and the pain of the rear delt. I am completely satisfied with the treatment I received at CT Clinic and I would happily recommend it to anyone that has similar issues.

I came to CT clinic with very painful upper back and neck pain and also suffering with medium discomfort in my wrist from a fracture I had suffered 10 years ago. When the pain was bad in my neck and upper back, I couldnt do anything, the pain had affected my daily life and work as I sit at a desk all day and have to do a lot of typing that affects my posture. In the last 2 years priory to coming to CT Clinic, the pain in upper back and neck increased and was casuing me a lot discomfort and frustration especially since the pain was there constantly 24hrs a day. On my better days the neck and upper back pain was 6 out of 10 which was bad but on most of days the pain was 10 out of 10. It just made me feel terrible on a day-to-day basis, and I lost the faith that at any point I would be able to be pain-free. I mentioned these to my friend who recommanded me seeing Ammar at CT clinic. I went to the CT clinic to meet with Ammar and expained my issues. Ammar was very confident he can help and offered to see him for some sessions. After just 10 sessions with Ammar, I was completely pain-free. Ammar was assessing the neck and upper back pain each week and each time the pain took longer and longer to come back after the session. I was discharged after finishing my sessions but I went back after one month. I had been cured, I had no pain despite working long hours the pain did not come back. I am delighted with the treatment I have received from Mr Sawaf and with his new methodology of COPA therapy. Ammar, you brought the joy back to my life I cannot thank you enough.
