Testimonials

Steve Colley (Trials champion and stunt rider)

Scott Physiotherapy have sponsored me since 2007 and during this time Isla and Ben have been a pleasure to work with, both professionally and personally.  As a team they are extremely proactive and always go that extra mile.  After 20 years of professional trials riding I have finally found a Physio that can actually solve any niggles and issues.

Scott Physiotherapy is as good as it gets!

Andrew Pitt (double World Super Sport champion)

As an international motorcyclist competing in the world championship my well being and general physical state determines how well I can earn a living.  Over the years I have been lucky not to pick up any big injuries.  In the 10 years that I have competed at this level I, as any rider does, have suffered certain injuries and issues that if unchecked tend to add up.  I used to keep training and battling on thinking that if I’m not in perfect shape I was close enough.  As the years passed I would be stiffer and sorer post-ride, but let’s face it, it goes away.  The main issue throughout my career though was finding the right therapist that actually knows what they are doing and who I can trust totally.

In mid 2007 I was test riding for the Yamaha MotoGP programme and Michelin, which involved continual 3 day tests lapping for long periods all day.  I was getting off the bike barely able to straighten up.

I had met Ben and Isla Scott earlier that year socially when they had suggested I come around for an athlete screening and Isla assuried me she would have me dancing around on the bike with flexibility I could only dream of.

Isla identified straight away the issues I had through the back, hips and general core area and provided solutions immediately.  My flexibility improved straight away and pain on the bike was also greatly reduced very quickly.  Of course on the road I had exercises and stretching I needed to do to stay on top of it but I was on my way.  Once all the big issues were addressed really there was just fine tuning each time I came home.

I started the 2008 season in the best shape of my life and feeling great on the bike.  I wasn’t thinking about pain or discomfort whilst riding and I didn’t have to compromise my position because of discomfort.  Also being much more comfortable on the bike my aerodynamics improved, making everyone happy.  The result was I was crowned World Champion at the end of the year and Scott Physiotherapy played a big part in this.

Of course our relationship is ongoing and after a big crash or even a little niggle I will fly from where ever I am to Isla and Ben because I know I will leave in better shape.

Ideally I would like to pack Isla in my bag and take her with me everywhere I go but she is always accessible and arms me with all the information and exercises I need to stay on top of things.

Oh, and by the way it’s nice being able to touch my toes now too!

Alex Hedges (IoM champion and Commonwealth gymnast)

Whether using their abilities to help someone recover from a relatively standard injury, or seeking out complicated new ways to fine-tune athletes and maximise their performance, I've never seen such enthusiasm as I have here.  Scott Physiotherapy is a massive asset to the Island and has been critical in allowing me to achieve what I have in gymnastics.

Without the hard work and enthusiasm of the people at Scott Physiotherapy I wouldn't still be training, let alone have achieved the sporting success that has made me so happy.  It feels like I create more work for them with every training session but I haven't yet managed to find an injury they can't deal with - even in gymnastics!  I am so grateful for their unique abilities to not just keep me going but to constantly drive me forward.

Zoe Gillings (Olympic Snowboard Cross Racer)

Competing in the event of snowboard cross I get injured quite a lot! Scott physio are always there to help put me back together again as soon as I get back to the island, even if  I call the day I return and say I have another injury they always do whatever they can to see me as soon as possible. They are very professional, know what they are talking about and are great at explaining exercises to take away so I can recover fast and get back on the snow.

I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

Josh Green (UK u19 badminton champion)

I was first introduced to Isla through Sports Aid as part of the compulsory screening programme.  It was great right from the start.  Isla was able to tell me where I had problems and what I needed to do to alleviate them. Over the years I have had a few niggling injuries and each time Isla has been there to offer the correct help and treatments. Only recently we met up in Bath whilst I was injured, and it was a great comfort to me that she was able to attend the doctor’s appointment with me and look over the scans together.  Isla was then able to give me first hand advice on how to overcome the injury.  Isla was instrumental in me getting fit, changing my training programme and ultimately winning the U19 National Championship which is the pinnacle of my career so far.

Obviously, being based in Bath, I am not able to visit Isla as much as I would like but I always make a point of visiting her when I return home – her advice is invaluable.

Alex Rockwell (World Enduro rider)

During my career as a motocross rider and now as an enduro rider contesting British and World Championships Isla and her team have saved the day on many occasions, in what are high impact and high injury sports. The treatment, help and advice Isla has given me over the years has kept my recovery time down and got me back on the bike a lot quicker. The treatment is always first class, and is dealt with in a really positive way. When I come away form Scott Physio I feel confident that I am getting treated by the best!
