What I offer for a corporate clinic is taking a room (meeting room, rest pod etc) once a week for 30 minute sessions where I analyze and treat anyone in the office who requires treatment. This helps them not only function better in everyday life but helps them work better. Being in the same building means the time taken away from the office is minimized along with the amount of sick hours/days taken.

 

 

Firstly, I evaluate a person's physical condition by a number of movement screening exercises. I then compile rehabilitation exercise and a course of neural manipulation treatment, as appropriate.

 

Unlike our ancestors who spent 98% of their time on their feet, the modern world means we spend too much time sitting down. That means we are training all the wrong muscle groups in all the wrong ways. Tight, short and lazy muscles are what cause overuse injuries and 90% of the clients treated in clinic.

 

For instance;

 

Tight chest - weak back = upper back/neck pain, headaches and migraines, shoulder/elbow and wrist pains.

 

Tight hips flexors - weak and inactive glutes = lower back problems, sciatica, running injuries, foot pains.

Obviously I only saw you a couple of times and could not be happier with the results.  I have had endless weekly sessions with several different physiotherapists over the last 7 years and have never achieved the same result as after meeting with you only twice.  You pinpointed the issue immediately and although I expect very slight in comparison to many others, it caused me many problems day to day, which have nearly all but disappeared.  I am no longer in pain and attached to my hot water bottle!!  I cannot recommend you highly enough and would be happy to confirm to HR or whoever if necessary.

 

Ciara – Legal PA, Weil Gotshal.

 

Having been through the wars recently with a broken ankle and thereby needing to wear a support boot for 3 months, all movement has been incredibly restricted and totally thrown my posture out of alignment.  Chris has been able to gently and carefully loosen tense and tightened muscles to correct and relax my entire posture. 

I have visited osteopaths in the past but find Chris approach to be much more sympathetic to how the body works.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone and I always feel 100% better after having seen him.

 

Amanda – IT trainer, Weil Gotshal.

 

Having been to a number of different physios over the years for various back and other pains, Chris’ treatments stand out.  He has cured pains where other physios have failed and his holistic approach to preventing them recurring (with a focus on how rehabilitation and preventative exercises can be incorporated in a busy schedule) demonstrates a deeper interest in ongoing wellbeing than many.

BDO LLP

 

 

BDO in Southampton engaged Chris Ball from May 2007 until January 2013 as part of our 'Wellness at Work' programme. During that time, his therapies and treatments were utilised by a range of staff members for both ongoing skeletal or muscular issues and for specific sports injuries, providing them with a convenient and cost- effective option which we felt was a unique staff 'benefit' and helped contribute to the overall health of our workforce.

I was personally treated by Chris over this period for both back and knee-joint related problems and found this enormously beneficial in managing them.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Chris Ball's services. Should you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

'Chris treated me for a recurrent lower back problem over a number of years whilst working with BDO LLP. The ability to be treated in the workplace was really beneficial and allowed me to have more regular sessions than if I had tried to fit in 'out of hours'. The fact I had no days off sick due to my back over this 5 year period is a testament to Chris's skills. I have been to other therapists before and since and can honestly say that the experience and knowledge Chris has is exceptional.'
