Testimonials
Some words from a few of our valued patients …
My contact with ESIC started in Currie with June and continues with Charlotte at Juniper Green. A leaflet in Currie alerted me to “Pilates and Golf” so I commenced one to one sessions. This set me up not just for golf but also for off-piste skiing in my sixties, to the extent that never again have I needed chiropractor treatments. My chronic lower back problems, if not quite eliminated, have now been under control for two decades. I do not believe Pilates classes, rather than individual sessions, could have achieved the same results. Throughout, all the staff at ESIC have been great to work with.

I had a great experience at ESIC. Everyone had a friendly face and there was very nice atmosphere. June was brilliant and after a couple of sessions my wrist injury had improved massively! Thanks!

I have attended ESIC for over 2 years for various problems. Charlotte has been amazing at fixing my issues and has always been supportive and friendly. ESIC is a very approachable practice and I'm so glad I found it. Several friends I've recommended Charlotte to have had similar experiences here too.

I first came to ESIC almost 10 years ago when my daughter (then 12) was very unwell with CRPS. Her level of pain was difficult to manage and it was a very hard time for her both physically and emotionally. I felt that June was very experienced and she made us believe that we would find a way through things - that reassurance and support were invaluable to us at our worst moments. My daughter has since made a full recovery, with June's help. I have also seen June regularly for the past 3-4 years and I find her to be a really experienced, knowledgeable and hands on physio, who I trust totally and who I think understands the body and what each individual needs intuitively. Over the years every member of our family has at some point come to ESIC for physio treatment, which says alot about the standard of care and treatment provided by all of the physios at ESIC.
Mrs Scott, Patient
The ESIC physio provided an outstanding service for my knee pain. They quickly and accurately diagnosed the issue, offering immediate relief through massage and practical exercises. I saw noticeable improvement within days of continuing the exercises at home. After just two sessions, which included further therapy and strengthening work, I was discharged. The treatment was highly targeted and incredibly effective. I valued the no-pressure approach regarding extra sessions. Crucially, I was seen very promptly, avoiding the long NHS waiting list. The admin staff were also friendly and efficient, making the entire process smooth and hassle-free. The cost represented excellent value for such expert and efficient care.

I have been visiting Charlotte for treatment to a rotator cuff injury and she has been extremely helpful. Since beginning physio, I have noticed a marked improvement and this continues with each visit. Everyone at the clinic is friendly and helpful. Nothing is a problem and they are extremely welcoming to new and existing clients.

G. Stewart, Patient
I recently had a peripheral neuropathy, following a viral infection, which left me having difficulties with use and movement of the right side of my body. This affected my walking and use of my right arm. After a short stay in hospital I was discharged and made and appointment at ESIC with June Lumsden. June is an amazing physiotherapist and her approach to rehabilitation of my body was unique due to her in-depth knowledge of neurophysiology and how the whole body works, specifically the brain to limb connections. June devised a programme of exercises, which step by step allowed me to regain gradual movement and use of my body. She told me I had to work fast and hard to get the connection between brain and muscles working again and that’s just what I did. June give me a new exercise program each week which helped to improve my movement and rebuild my muscles and it was amazing to see daily improvements which allowed me to get walking again. I lived to exercise at that time, but that’s what I needed to do for my rehabilitation. I have spent a considerable amount of my time over the past 3 months in ESIC in the state of the art gym using the relevant machines and equipment. June’s expertise and knowledge has truly turned my life around and I am now able return to work. I can’t thank the team at ESIC enough, they have all helped me in different ways and the encouragement and support they’ve given me has been amazing.
Scott, Patient
I had been having problems with my right hip and leg for a while which was making it very painful for me to walk any distance. I had been seeing a physio from another practice but things were not getting better and I had reached a crunch point where I had to decide whether to cancel a planned sightseeing holiday in Spain because of it. I decided a change was needed and I started seeing ESIC. They immediately diagnosed my problem and after only a few sessions was able to reduce my pain and increase my mobility significantly. So much so that I went on the holiday, was able to walk over 15,000 steps most days, and do all the things we had planned! I can’t recommend ESIC highly enough and the team on reception make ESIC such a friendly, welcoming place that it is a pleasure to go there for treatment.
C. Devlin, Patient
I came to ESIC with a very long term misalignment of my pelvis. My sacroiliac joint was out of position and my pelvis tilted so that one leg appeared to be a little shorter than the other. My body had adapted to this position but with years of horse riding and some falls I had chronic pain. A physiotherapist at ESIC was quick to assess the situation. The muscles I had been using out of necessity, were incorrect ones due to the misalignment, so many were in spasm. The physio worked on them to relieve the tension and manipulated my sacroiliac joint back in place. With regular therapy my pelvis has remained correctly aligned for 4 months now. The attitude of my physiotherapist has always been positive, encouraging, professional but friendly. The daily exercises she gave me are very helpful. The Pilates therapist at ESIC is very experienced and capable of recognising where incorrect muscles are being used and devising exercises to strengthen the correct ones. It has taken attention to detail and the ability to adapt exercises for my specific needs in order to retrain my brain to use the correct muscles and to build their strength. Over several months the exercises have been modified in response to progress. Working on them daily has helped a lot. The Pilates therapist is extremely competent and works with good humour and commitment. ESIC is a happy, friendly clinic where I have received excellent treatment.
Pauline, Patient
I have attended the clinic for various injuries over the years and you are always met with a warm welcome as you arrive at reception. I have attended sessions with ESIC over a few years and they have always been very good at solving any issues I have had. This year I had shoulder tightness possibly due to wrong way of doing some classes at the gym, over a few sessions ESIC got me so much more comfortable. They recommended items to me to help me stretch as well. I would recommend this clinic to others.
E. Tidy, Patient
I have been seeing June for physiotherapy since I was 10 years old, and over the years she has played a key role in helping me recover from injuries and stay in peak physical condition—especially during my time sailing competitively for the British Sailing Team. June developed my stretching routine (which I still use today, even after competitive sport), and supported me with a tailored strength and conditioning program. I completely trust her expertise and, in my opinion, there’s no better physio. Every time I visit the practice, I’m greeted with a warm welcome and leave feeling ten times better—both physically and mentally. I’ve also had the opportunity to work with other therapists at ESIC, whose focus on core strength was essential to my performance on the water. The care, attention, and expertise at the clinic have made a lasting impact on my health and training, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
J. Calder, Patient
Following diagnosis of a severe shoulder blade "winged scapula" (caused by using excessive force when using a drill on stone), I was seen by June and given a comprehensive programme in order to firstly eliminate the severe pain I was feeling and then rebuild my shoulder muscle back to full strength. Having read that a severe "winged scapula can take up to 2 years to fully recover (especially for someone in their mid 60's), I am very pleased to report that after only 3 months treatment via June's targeted exercise program my shoulder has fully recovered and I am back to being able to comfortably play racquet sports, such as tennis, and also golf.
J.Kerr, Patient
ESIC has given me a new lease of life. I tried many physio practices before ESIC but none of the treatments and exercises I had been given made any difference. I now know this was because parts of my body had been treated in isolation. And there was always something new - knee, hip, shoulder etc. But that's not the case in ESIC - they take a holistic view, and at the first visit to the clinic, about a decade ago, June explained that all my problems were connected. For the first time I understood the cause of my issues, and am now much stronger and healthier as a result of the treatment. Not just that they're experts, they're also compassionate and really care about their patients. Oh, and the receptionists are fab and super helpful too! I just can't recommend ESIC enough!
U. Lodge, Patient
Though notoriously slow in the uptake when it comes to acronyms, I have easily mastered ESIC. It stands for Extra Special Individual Care. It is easy to remember because that is exactly what I have been receiving since I first registered with June 5 years ago. After suffering for some years from intermittent periods of back-pain which interfered with my every-day life and every-night sleep, she quickly diagnosed the problem and, when I needed it, administered treatment which gave almost instant relief. Encouraged by this, I had a chat with her about how much I longed to lead a more active life, to be able to balance without wobbling hopelessly and to garden without needing to be ever so careful about which way I twisted my back to deposit the abundance of weeds we seem to be able to grow. Without dwelling for too long on the sorry state of my underused muscles, she suggested I try doing exercises in the gym with Mandy. This has proved so successful that I no longer require my anti-inflammatory pills and I am so much enjoying my own progress and get an enormous kick out of being fitter and more able. I am writing this in the sincere hope that others may read it and discover like me that with the same expert attention and dedication seventy can be the new fifty.
E. Henderson, Patient
I have used ESIC for many years. The level of service and professionalism is second to none. I have had serious back issues for most of my adult life and without June and ESIC my quality of life would be greatly diminished. June has always taken the time to listen before commencing any treatment and only scheduling appointments as required. Not only have I received treatment when I’ve had an issue but regular check ups have kept me in good shape which over the years has drastically reduced further problems.
I. Calder, Patient
The treatment and advice I have received from June have been incredibly helpful and effective to my knee pain. She has been very patient and kind in addressing my questions while providing the treatment to me. Very grateful! The vibes in the clinic are warm, friendly and very professional. The service received at booking and at the reception has been super helpful and well followed through.
