Please find below some testimonials from patients treated in the clinic:
- A, Petersfield – “When I first came to see Louise, I was in so much pain with my long standing sciatica that seeing her was my last ditch attempt at physio before going for serious surgery. Feeling like I had tried everything else to help the pain, I wasn’t convinced it would help but I couldn’t have imagined the difference she has made. Through a combination of treatments and advice, my pain levels are in a better place than they have been for years! She is thorough and knowledgeable and I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Louise!”
- A, Petersfield – “Louise resolved not just my short term intense pain and loss of function but also an associated trapped nerve that had been causing me difficulties for 5 years and that Consultant had shrugged at. Her process of examination, discussion and manipulation along with (optional) acupuncture has proved miraculous for me.”
- C, Petersfield – “Louise is extremely thorough and knowledgeable. I have seen many clinicians over the years, but was very impressed by her attention, skill and care. Excellent physiotherapist!
Thanks Louise.”
- D, Petersfield – “Louise Hammond was recommended to me when I injured my shoulder. Louise put me at ease and quickly diagnosed the cause and the most effective treatment for me. Louise provided helpful exercises that I was able to do at home or at any time when the symptoms returned. After 4 physiotherapy sessions Louise had treated my shoulder and I have not looked back since. An experienced therapist who I would fully recommend.”
- D, Alton – “Having suffered with hip and lower back pain for some months, my yoga tutor suggested I should seek help from Louise Hammond. Being a very experienced physiotherapist Louise quickly identified the problem and within a short period of time my pain and discomfort was eased. I find Louise very helpful and understanding, easy to talk to, she is very caring and very professional. Being of older years it’s very comforting to know that Louise will be able to help me as and when other joint problems present. I now attend quite regularly for treatment and am delighted to say I now have an active lifestyle, thanks largely to Louise and her excellent treatment and support. I have every confidence in her ability and have no hesitation in recommending her to family and friends.”
- E, Petersfield – “I am a mum of 3 and a qualified medical doctor. Louise has now helped me on two separate occasions with shoulder related symptoms. She is both extremely knowledgeable and kind. She really wants to help her patients and understands which exercises can be realistically incorporated into a busy lifestyle and how to make these part of daily life. In addition to effectively treating my symptoms, Louise has really helped me understand the underlying causes of my problems (work posture, driving, lifting my toddler) so that not only has this episode now been successfully treated but I also have the practical knowledge to try to prevent further episodes. Louise has a huge amount of experience, is extremely caring and conscientious and I really cannot recommend her highly enough.”
- G, Petersfield – “Louise expertly fixed some lower back pain that I had been suffering with for a couple of years. She was utterly professional and clearly demonstrated a great deal of knowledge and experience in her field. It was always a pleasure attending her physio sessions and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending her clinic.”
- G, Petersfield – “Louise was recommended to me, I found her to have a very thorough and professional approach to her work, in a restful and well equipped space. She took a full medical history before beginning a course of treatment ensuring patient confidentiality.Throughout she ensured patient comfort, privacy and understanding. I would have no hesitation in recommending her work..”
- G, Petersfield – “Louise is not a relation, but I was drawn to her services because of the name sake! I was shocked to experience a dramatic difference to my cranky elbow in just the first session. She is incredibly knowledgable and I have left her sessions better informed as well as in less pain. I cannot recommend her more highly.”
- J, Petersfield – “Louise cares deeply for her patients wellbeing. In the past three years her expert advice, in-depth knowledge and enthusiasm has resulted in improved mobility in my arthritic knee, allowing me to remain physically active. I would happily recommend.”
- J, Petersfield – “Louise has a huge amount of experience & has been a tremendous help to me both with physio and acupuncture. She is always professional, conscientious & very encouraging. I will not hesitate to return if or when I need help again and I highly recommend her skills.”
- J, Alton – “I have been visiting Louise for about 6 months now and have really valued every session. Louise listens to your needs, works hard to understand your goals and puts you at ease. She goes the extra mile to give you advice, equipment and ideas to help in between appointments too. I would recommend louse wholeheartedly to anyone with a specific issue or injury but also from a wellbeing point of view too. An outstanding professional with a kind and caring approach.
- L, Petersfield – “I received treatment from Louise for a badly sprained ankle. Louise initially provided telephone consultation to help reduce the swelling and bruising. I then had several in-person appointments to regain range of movement and strength in the ankle. Throughout my treatment, Louise provided very clear information and advice and an extensive range of exercises that were easy to fit into my day. She demonstrated the exercises clearly, provided diagrams, and helped me to practice them during appointments. She also provided clear explanations about the purpose of the exercises which helped to maintain motivation. Louise operates the highest standards of care and hygiene and I never felt worried about attending appointments during the pandemic. If I have another issue needing a physiotherapist, I will contact Louise.”
- M, Petersfield – “Louise has been helping me to overcome a painful neck and upper back problem. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is always friendly, caring and professional. She takes a genuine interest and her encouragement and conscientious approach are extremely reassuring, as is the extent of her knowledge! Louise has introduced me to acupuncture which she has used along side physiotherapy with amazing results. In addition to my treatment she has gone to a lot of trouble to explain exercises which I’ve used between appointments, giving me relief and helping my recovery. Thank you Louise!”
- M, Petersfield – “I went to see Louise as I was suffering with sciatica. I was in so much pain and struggling to sleep as a result of it. My husband had previously used Louise for sporting injuries and recommended her. During my first appointment Louise took the time to listen and offered a sympathetic ear. Her calm and patient approach was very welcomed and gave me hope. Through a mix of advice and treatments, after a few sessions my pain was manageable and I am now no longer in pain. The exercises she gives are tailored to your needs and Louise also runs through them with you first to ensure that you are doing them correctly. I would thoroughly recommend seeing Louise and can’t thank her enough.”
- M, Alton – “Louise has completely cured my chronic tennis elbow using her magic touch and acupuncture. When I first came to her I was unable to even hold a racket, now I am back on the tennis court 3 times a week! She has also helped my husband with his back pain. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you Louise!”
- P, Alton – “Louise has helped me with two medical conditions over the past few years. The most recent treatment combined physio and acupuncture. She is kind and welcoming, immediately putting you at ease. The physio and acupuncture treatments have been very relaxing and extremely successful in treating my condition. Louise takes a real interest in her patients and is always willing to offer advice on suitable exercises. She explains the underlying physiology which I found very helpful. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thank you so much!”
- P, Petersfield – “I had suffered Neck pain for many years, Louise has absolutely cured it. Her approach is gentle , taking time to understand life style and giving very good advice going forward in how to safely exercise and maintain her treatment. I visited throughout the Lockdown, the clinic was immaculate and safe. I would thoroughly recommend her.”
- P, Petersfield – “When I first went to Louise, I could hardly walk and wasn’t sure if the problem lay in my hip or back. After some gentle manipulation and a few days of easy exercises I made rapid progress. I am walking miles now. She is very kind and has a wonderful approach to pain management”
- R, Petersfield – “Louise has helped me hugely with my neck and back problems. I am so much better now than when I first saw her. She has a very gentle calm approach, explaining everything thoroughly. She recommends exercises for you to do at home, and writes them down so you don’t forget! I have no hesitation recommending Louise as an excellent physiotherapist.”
- R, Petersfield – “Following an MRI scan it was confirmed that I had degenerative disc disease. Whilst I felt reasonable during the day, at night my sleep was always disturbed by back pain. I was up every night and often walking around before dawn trying to alleviate that pain. I contacted Louise and commenced a series of visits to her physiotherapist clinic. Louise carefully assessed my condition and set out series of physical and mental exercises to help me recover. She was very professional in recording my condition during every visit to her, recommending additional and different exercises to help me. As a result, my back pain slowly disappeared, and my sleep is once more undisturbed.”
- R, Petersfield – “Louise has helped me with different problems in the many months I have known her. Initially a damaged shoulder. Her professional, kind assessment and exercise programme resulted in my gaining a lot more movement. After falling a few times she gave me exercises and advice on improving my balance. An episode of very painful, debilitating sciatica she treated with massage, acupuncture and exercises. I am now relative pain free and walking normally. I would certainly recommend a visit to Louise for skeletal/muscular problems, you will not be disappointed.”
- R, Alton – “I have been visiting Louise for acupuncture treatment for several years and she is always so professional in her manner but more importantly the results are outstanding. I would have no hesitation in recommending Louise to a friend or whatever.”
- R, Alton – “Louise had helped me with post knee replacement therapy in 2014. Her approach was very positive and I was able to quickly get back to doing the everyday activities and more. In April 2022 I developed a shoulder problem that was extremely painful and anti inflammatory and painkillers were not the cure. I have been extremely pleased with the treatment received. Her quest to understand the cause and treat accordingly together with providing advise on ongoing prevention and strengthening have been invaluable. The treatment has included acupuncture (and I’m a coward when it comes to needles) which I have become totally relaxed about having and the results of the mix of treatments has over a number of sessions been fantastic. I’m 67 years old and active and want to remain so. Louise is a brilliant Physiotherapist, very knowledgeable and I would recommend her without any reservations.”

S, Midhurst – “I’ve had two injuries in the last few years that Louise has treated me for. She’s always been professional, welcoming and friendly. Even though I haven’t always stuck to the exercises she’s advised (laziness on my part) she’s been essential in my recovery journey. She’s helped me physically but has also gently supported me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks Louise”
- S,Petersfield – “I can’t begin to describe how grateful I am to Louise. I first visited her 10 years ago with a frozen shoulder. Since then over the years I have returned. With acupuncture massage and exercise advice she has successfully helped me through a painful lower back, a broken ankle and recently impaired mobility with stiff painful hips. Louise is very easy to talk to and has a wealth of experience. She is also professional kind and very knowledgeable. I have no hesitation in recommending her. Thank you so much Louise”
- T, Petersfield – “Louise is a exceptional physiotherapist who comes highly recommended. I started using Louise during the first lock down after I developed severe tennis elbow. I was in agony and couldn’t even lift a cup of tea when I came to her. She was very thorough in her pre treatment assessment session and extremely professional throughout the whole treatment process. If you need a physio you’ll be in very capable hands with Louise!”
- T, South Harting – “Over the last few years I have been receiving treatment from Louise for discomfort caused by arthritic knees, with a view to getting the leg muscles into a better condition prior to a knee replacement operation. Louise introduced me to exercises which I have persevered with and they have been really helpful in reducing knee pain, to the extent that I now feel a lot more mobile- and I experience less pain. And I have not had the knee replaced. I am very grateful to Louise for her encouragement and for the time she has spent with me, she has always be been optimistic and insisted that in time my knee pain could and would get better- and I am happy to confirm that this is what has happened. I would most sincerely recommend Louise to anyone seeking a patient, encouraging and effective physiotherapist- thank you Louise!”
- V, Petersfield – “Louise has been my physiotherapist for a number of years, she is always extremely thorough from initial examination to the treatment plan and reviews. My most recent visit was during lockdown 1, and she was extremely professional with regard to safety etc. I had a frozen shoulder and could not bring my arm up or bend it backwards, when the treatment finished I had full range. I would not hesitate to recommend Louise.”
- V, Petersfield – “I first came to see Louise in February 2023 as I had been suffering from chronic sciatic pain that was really beginning to affect my daily life. I saw Louise regularly for about 6 months and with some hands-on treatment, acupuncture, exercises for me to do at home and lots of discussion to help me understand the nature of my pain and what was happening to me, my symptoms began to massively improve. Now, almost a year on, I’m back at the gym and I’ve even managed to start running again. I’m not completely pain free 100 per cent of the time but I’m now able to manage the odd twinge I might get. I am so grateful to Louise and absolutely credit her with getting me back to regular exercise.”
- W, Waterlooville – “Louise is an extremely knowledgeable and professional physiotherapist. I tore my calf muscle recently and with her regular treatments and recommendations for home exercises I was able to lose my crutches so much earlier than I’d expected. Her flexibility to accommodate appointments around my working day was extremely helpful too. I can’t thank or recommend Louise enough. She’s amazing.”
- W, Surrey – “I have suffered from back pain and sciatica for nearly two years. I can’t thank Louise enough for all the help she has given me both treatment and advice. My condition has greatly improved. She has been excellent at taking all the necessary precautions to ensure my safety during the current Covid pandemic. I would highly recommend her.”
- Y, Petersfield – “I am so pleased to have found Louise as she is a very pleasant and knowledgeable physiotherapist. I first met her a couple of years ago when I was suffering with a 2 week migraine which had been caused by high blood pressure. The headache disappeared a couple of days after the session which was a great relief. Since then I am having regular treatment on my neck and back to help prevent further problems. A great find!”
