Jacqueline Claydon is a very caring, patient and knowledgeable physiotherapist who did all that she could possibly have done to help my wife walk again after a traumatic hospital visit, despite her suffering from the consequences of advanced dementia

I wanted you to know how much more positive I felt than when I had my alendronic infusion, just over a year ago. Your classes have been a big help in enabling me to feel I can be proactive in protecting myself against health issues associated with osteoporosis/osteopenia , so I wanted to say thank you to you and to Jo .

I snapped my knee ligament in an accident. After surgery and wearing a full leg brace for 9 weeks, I felt I needed physio to move me forward. I have had 3 home visits from Jacqueline when she gave me relevant exercises. Progress has been excellent thanks to these exercises and the encouragement given to me by Jacqueline. Having physio at home means it is much easier to continue with exercises, as Jacqueline can see how you live on a daily basis. I would thoroughly recommend Jacqueline to anyone requiring physio.

I have only had one appointment with Jacqueline, but that is because the recommended daily exercises are helping significantly with my back problems. I found Jacqueline to be supportive, helpful and thorough in her assessment and recommendations. I sought further advice about another problem, and she was very helpful. It was so much easier to have Jacqueline come to my home, and it also meant that she could assess me in my own environment, looking at the things I normally do and how that may impact on rehabilitation.
I have no hesitation in recommending her and her service.

Following recent spinal surgery, I used the services of Longsands Rehabilitation Physiotherapy.
Jacqueline was in attendance and I could not of had a more caring or nicer person, she guided me gently into strengthening exercises for my spine and surrounding muscles, advising when to hold back and push forward into the exercises. I can not thank Jacqueline enough and would have no hesitation asking for any further assistance from Longsands Rehabilitation Physiotherapy.

I absolutely loved the Tai Chi and realised this is my focus and way forward. The Tai Chi gave me what I need although I am not good yet. My knee is so unstable that it affects much else and the careful balance and weight transference seems so good. You are an excellent teacher.

After 8 weeks in Hospital and falling twice while learning to walk again I lost my confidence with stairs and hated the Zimmer frame given by the hospital.
My son found Longsands Rehab and sent me the details. Jacqueline was wonderful, giving me a series of simple exercises, walking me up and down stairs with her reassurance and outside with my wheeled walker. I can recommend Longsands Rehabilitation her quiet encouragement gave me back the confidence I had lost. Thank you Jacqueline

Ms Jacqueline Claydon carried out physiotherapy sessions with me from January to April 2022. She showed me exercises gradually and by the end of May I was able to carry out exercises for strength and power, coordination, flexibility and balance. These exercises were in connection with my Parkinson’s disease and have helped me maintain a good quality of life. Ms Claydon was very patient in teaching the exercises and encouraged me to improve after each session. I have been able to carry out the exercises on my own.

I can’t say enough but I recommend Longsands Rehabilitation. In particular Jacqueline Claydon. I had been sitting in my chair for over a year too frightened to stand or walk after falling and breaking my hip. Through patience and understanding I can now stand and walk with a frame, don’t feel scared of falling anymore. My thanks to Longsands Rehabilitation.

I can not thank Longsands Rehabilitation physiotherapy enough, for the friendly, efficient service they provide. Despite fracturing the top of my femur at 85 years of age, I still wanted to maintain my busy active lifestyle. Thanks to the personalised exercises, encouragement and advice given in my own home by the Physiotherapy Team, I am well on the way to full recovery.

After having a shoulder replacement, I worked with Jacqueline in my home for several weeks and she helped me to reach an excellent level of movement and fitness. I now attend her weekly physio fit class which keeps me motivated to continue with the exercises which keeps my shoulder mobile.
The classes are great fun and a lovely social occasion. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jacqueline to anyone needing individual therapy, and also her classes.

The Physiofit class is fun and invigorating, and over just a few months, my muscle tone, stamina, balance and strength have increased. I no longer have stiffness in my joints. I just can’t recommend it highly enough.

I had a knee replacement and Jacqueline was engaged as a physio for rehab. She showed good knowledge of the condition and problems associated with it. While undergoing a session she identified a DVT in the leg and my GP got me into hospital very quickly. She set goals for me to attain in my exercises with good encouragement and excellent professionalism. I was treated by Jacqueline for two months so well that my walking and general fitness improved greatly.

The Physiofit class is fun – everyone does the exercises to their own ability, we do stretching, balance, gentle weight exercises and some cardiovascular exercises and at the end we get to have a chat – like I said, it’s fun.

I am very pleased to have met Jacqueline, from Longsands Rehabilitation. She has magically transformed my stiff and painful wrist into my normal wrist, in just 7 days. I broke my wrist 8 weeks ago and when the cast came off I couldn’t move it at all. I was very worried I would never move it again, but after one session with Jacqueline she had it moving. She left me clear and concise instructions for exercises, and a week later came back with more help. I feel like I am making excellent progress after just 7 days. I highly recommend her services to anyone, but especially anyone with a newly out of cast fracture of the radius. She is very gentle and I swear she has magic hands!

After your visit, his confidence surged! Both my mum and dad are now slowly walking into town most days and my mum reports she finds him doing his exercises while making cups of tea and while she potters about! You were BRILLIANT! Thank you ever so much! You really did give him a big shot of confidence and he hasn’t looked back!

The Amazing Jacqueline Claydon, MCSP!
Ms Ellen Wise, April 2020
I am 79 and had a recent fall (3 months ago) that left me with a severe limp and a right leg and foot impairment that forced my right foot to turn outwards causing pain when I tried to walk or exercise. Nor could I bend this leg properly and I despaired, believing this injury could well be permanent.
My daughter recommended that I speak with Jacqueline and I had an over-the-telephone interview with her lasting around 15 minutes which included her watching a short mobile video of my impaired gait. She then suggested a short series of exercises for me to do around 3 times per day which were not at all strenuous and reassured me that the problem could well be corrected.
After only 8-9 days of doing these simple exercises, I am delighted to report that my gait is slowly returning to normal and the twisted knee and hip muscles and tendons no longer hurt as they did after the fall.
I cannot thank this young lady enough for this assistance so generously given and when lockdown is eventually eased I fully intend to go to her valuable classes for older people. Thank you Jacqueline – Longsands has a true Treasure in you.
Thank you to everyone of you that has provided a testimonial of our Physiotherapy Services. We really appreciate you taking the time to ‘put pen to paper’ and provide your feedback.
