Martin Rogan

Commonwealth Heavyweight Champion

Four weeks before the biggest fight of Martin Rogan’s life against Olympic Heavyweight gold medalist Audley Harrison Martin injured his neck and back after a fall in training. “I lost the power in my left shoulder and could barely through a jab let alone fight a 17 stone Olympic champion. My back was also killing me every time I ran and was contemplating canceling the fight!. After a few sessions with John my shoulder power had returned and running was no longer a problem. I went on to beat Harrison and claimed the Heavyweight Commonwealth title in my next fight after victory over Matt Skelton, John gave me back the tools of my trade and for that I am extremely grateful”.

Graham Little

TV Presenter

I was cycling hard for about six months in preparation for doing a stage of the Tour de France in July 2010. Unfortunately I overdid it, and one morning just couldn't get out of bed. My back had completely seized up. This was just six weeks before I was supposed to be cycling the 181 kilometre course over The Pyrenees. A friend recommended Belfast Back Care, insisting that if I wasn't happy he would personally give me my money back! There was no need. John diagnosed a bulging disc and some nerve damage, and set to work with the Bionic Hand, acupuncture and manual stretching and joint mobility work. Within four weeks of hardly being able to walk, I was back on the bike, and completed the stage in eight and a half hours. I am extremely grateful. An excellent service.
 

Kevin 'Kingpin' Johnson

WBA Ranked No. 5 Heavyweight in the World

Whilst over in Ireland training I was suffering from a stiff and sore low back and could not train as hard as I wanted, I was hoping the pain would go away but it remained stubborn. I was advised to visit physiotherapist John Magee at Belfast Back Care. From start to finish the service and treatment I received was first class and after two sessions I was pain free!. The spinal technology and expertise available at Belfast Back Care is fantastic and I cannot recommend John highly enough.

British Light-Welterweight Champion & Irish Boxer of the Year 2008

I was suffering from a sore elbow and could not straighten my arm fully which can be disastrous and worrying for a professional boxer. I was advised to contact John Magee at Belfast Back Care. After one session I could not believe the difference my arm was virtually straight and there was no pain!. After a further few sessions my arm is back to 100% and I can now look forward to my next fight with excitement rather than worrying about my painful elbow. I can't thank John enough for his efforts.

“I was sparring in training during the build up to my title defence; training was going great until I got this pain across the front of my shoulder. I was told to get up to Belfast Back Care and Physiotherapy Centre. Within minutes of going through the door the guys diagnosed me with a fractured collar bone; the x-ray revealed they were spot on. The service I received was second to none, the guys are very knowledgeable, I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. It’s reassuring to know you’re in expert hands”.

“I came to the clinic with low back pain which was constantly hindering me. After a full assessment they clearly explained what the problem was and what was going to be done about it. I really felt they were on top of the problem from the start and what’s more I began to feel in control of my pain. Between following some simple home exercises and their expect care with a little help from the most up to date spinal technology I am no longer being hindered, I am free from my pain.”

Philip Loughran

All-Ireland winning Armagh Gaelic Footballer

“I had been struggling with low back pain for a long time and thought I had been down every avenue with it until I came across Belfast Back Care and Physiotherapy Centre. The pain had been increasing to the point I was unable to train and play matches in the same week which meant I had to withdraw from the Armagh squad. After receiving treatment from the expert team at Belfast Back Care and Physiotherapy Centre I am back to full training and playing matches and aim to pick up with Armagh where I left off. I am so thankful for the specialist care I received.”

John Breen

Professional Boxing Trainer

After suffering for months with elbow and forearm pain I decided enough was enough, it was really getting me down and was starting to affect my job as a boxing coach. I contacted local physiotherapist John Magee to try and get it sorted. I thought it would take months and countless sessions as I had this problem before but on the opposite side. After two sessions my elbow and forearm were pain free!. I found John to be very professional and knowledgeable and a man who is clearly passionate about his work. I recommend him to all my fighters as well as friends and family.

Kevin’s intense training schedule was hampered with low back pain and a niggling calf injury. “Although the pain wasn’t severe it was holding me back in training. I decided enough was enough and got myself up to Belfast Back Care and Physiotherapy Centre. The service I received was top class; they set me up with a rehab programme which meant my training was virtually uninterrupted. I’m now back boxing and training pain free. These guys are the specialists when it comes to physiotherapy, if you are in pain get up to see them”.

I received great service at a reasonable price. Thanks guys!”

Amanda Mogey

Professional Table Tennis player and Irish International

“Due to the nature of playing table tennis for long periods of time both in matches and training I find my shoulder and neck getting sore. I called in for treatment at Belfast Back Care and Physiotherapy Centre. They immediately increased the range of movement at my neck and relaxed my muscles around that area. This allowed me to quickly get back playing again. I was more than happy with the professional and efficient service provided and would definitely recommend this practice to anyone in need of treatment.”

Kieran Beggan

Deputy Senior Partner at  WPP & PT Taggart

“Work can be stressful at the best of times but when you couple that with neck and lower back pain it can all get too much. It was at this point I booked myself in to Belfast Back Care and Physiotherapy Centre. I wouldn’t normally be one to seek medical help but they came highly recommended. They didn’t only sort out my pain but they got to the source of the problem…my posture at work and clearly explained what I could do to prevent it reoccurring. I’m currently 6 months post treatment and I remain pain free.”

Thomas Hughes

CEO Thomas Cook & Co.

After a serious car accident Mr Hughes was in constant pain with his low back. “I have been plagued with continuous back pain for the last two years. I’ve tried and tested every treatment out there (or so I thought), with little or no relief. After one session at Belfast Back Care & Physiotherapy Centre my pain had reduced considerably, I’ve now had four sessions and my pain is gone!. It sounds too good to be true but the ‘Bionic Hand’ really is a brilliant piece of machinery. I have already started referring people as the more people know about this revolutionary treatment the better”.
