The 3 R's Approach
"At our clinic, we structure low back pain recovery using the evidence-based 3R's approach (Reactive, Recovery, Resilience) pioneered by physical therapist Dr Chris Norris."
Reactive Phase
Calm your system down and find relief. We use gentle movements to ease muscle spasms and teach your brain that it is safe to move again.
Recovery Phase
Restore your natural movement and build baseline strength. Through guided, low-impact exercises, we safely reintroduce bending, twisting, and core control so you can move with confidence.
Resilience Phase
Step up your strength and prevent future setbacks. We use progressive loading and dynamic exercises to ensure your body is fully prepared for daily challenges.

Our initial step involves a consultation for your injury, lasting up to an hour. During this session, we will evaluate your condition, discuss your symptoms, and address your concerns. This comprehensive assessment enables us to develop a personalised treatment plan that caters to your recovery needs, including preliminary treatment and exercises to set you on the right path.

In our second session, which lasts up an hour and includes a complimentary treatment session, we'll review your findings report to ensure everything is clear. You get to take home your Report of Findings for your future refference. Together, we’ll explore personalised options designed just for you, and you'll have the opportunity to choose a suitable package while asking any questions you might have.

Remember every small step brings you closer to your goals.
'I have been seeing Glen at Speeding Health for around 6 months and would highly recommend his bespoke, knowledgeable care. He is an expert with dealing with back pain, but he also deals with sports injuries and has lots of advice to support movement so that injuries are less likely to occur.
I made my first appointment because of a tennis elbow injury and now look forward to regular visits for massage and treatment of stiffness and issues that build up over time. I always leave feeling a lot lighter and with increased freedom of movement.
We all deserve to invest in our health and an appointment with Speeding Health is the ideal way to do this.'
Sandra Whitaker
Glen is extremely knowledgeable with anatomy & it is evident that he really cares for his clients wellbeing. The aftercare is second to none, always happy to answer any questions - he is by far the best & kindest i've come across (i've been to a lot of different therapists)
Holly Clarke
'My back pain which has been bad for many many years is definitely improving already. I now get some pain free days and I've not been seeing Glen that long. He's a very warm and non judgmental person and easy to talk to and respecful of your body and personal space. I feel he understands better than many other therapists what I am going through having been in a similar place himself. Would certainly recommend him.'
P Gandhi
Glen is absolutely fantastic. In all the years I have seen physios, I would say he ranks as the best. He has sorted out all my problems with thorough assessments and diagnosis. Glen really knows his stuff and is super friendly, charismatic, and calm - a very likeable chap. What I like about Speeding health, is that they focus on long term outcomes rather than quick fixes, with a combination of multiple therapy’s and exercise prescription. Now a lifetime customer - I couldnt be happy using them.
Jack Irish
I recently started seeing Glen at Speeding Health for sports therapy, and with great results. From the very first session, Glen took the time to thoroughly understand my specific issues and my fitness goals, and with personalised approach, found the main causes and formed a treatment plan with useful exercises that truly made a difference.
Glen's expertise in sports therapy is evident—he uses a combination of targeted exercises, mobility work, and hands-on techniques that are tailored to my exact needs. He explains each part of the process clearly, giving me practical advice to integrate into my own training. He also took the time to patiently answer my (many) questions! Thanks to his guidance, my pain has reduced significantly, and I’ve noticed huge improvements in my strength and flexibility.
The care and professionalism Glen brings to each session make Speeding Health a standout place for anyone recovering from an injury or looking to boost their athletic performance. I highly recommend Glen if you’re in need of a sports therapist who genuinely cares about your progress and gets results.
