Perma Performance - (Near Kingston upon Thames, UK)

5 /5 Millie Melvin: I’m a keen runner and hiker who started to get knee pain which was really uncomfortable on my hikes downhill. I was diagnosed with patella tendonitis from a physio. Frustratingly the advice I had received was to avoid exercise or complete rest, but my knee wasn’t improving. This is when I realised I needed some strength and conditioning training and reached out to perma performance. I was unsure whether I would feel prepared for an upcoming hike up Acatenango and my 4 day hike to machu picchu. However both Jamie and Lewis put together a plan in conjunction with a physio they recommended, which helped enormously - not only in terms of comfort, but in terms of my general fitness and building confidence back in my ability to perform activities I enjoy. Both Jamie and Lewis really helped explain the process and gave me much more knowledge regarding my knee issue than I had before. The clear rationale and explanation of the process was something I hadn’t experienced with others I had seen previously, which made me feel like I wish I had started sooner! I went on to complete both hikes and feel great doing them!

5 /5 Ben Hannon: Perma Performance has provided excellent support in my sciatica recovery. Prior to visiting Perma Performance, I spent 3 months dealing with doctors that pushed long term NSAIDs usage, specialists that were pushing surgery, physios that provided exercises that aggravated my condition, and investigating Instagram ‘experts’ that wanted to charge thousands for treatment. During my first visit at Perma Performance, Jamie assessed my movement and explained what was happening with my condition. He followed up with a personalised exercise programme and regularly checked in on my pain levels. After the first month, I was able to stop taking painkillers and start to regain confidence in my movement patterns. I still have a way to go with my rehabilitation, but I am far more confident that I can make a full recovery with Perma Performance than with anyone else. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone that is suffering from sciatica and can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. You just need the right experts to help you on your way.

5 /5 Alexey Akhunov: Before coming to Perma Performance, I have been doing exercises at home, to maintain muscle, but felt like hitting a plateau. Gym sessions with Lewis at Perma Performance help me progress further. Lewis also designs my home workouts that suit my limitations and available equipment. I am very glad I have found Perma Performance!

5 /5 Tim Savage: I went to Jamie looking for shoulder rehab - I had been having recurring shoulder issues from swimming. He’d been recommended. I’ve been seeing him ever since - and it has changed my life. My physical fitness and strength allows me to do so much more, without risk of injury. Highly recommend talking to Jamie if you are struggling to get over an injury or recurring issues.

5 /5 Richard Fox-Robinson: Perma Performance, specifically Lewis has provided testing, analysis and a bespoke programme for my son who is playing competitve hockey. This has enhanced his strengths and improved his weaker areas contributing to a better all round athlete. Lewis is an elite level sportsman so has provided excellent advice on nutrition and recovery. Perma are also flexible with time slots to fit around ever moving timetables.
