Here is what our patients are saying about us


Progress is a Centre of excellence and efficiency offering high quality and well managed Consultations, Physiotherapy,a friendly reception,tranquil seating area and well equipped gymnasium all under one roof. At my first consultation I was experiencing severe pain in lower back and neck. The problem was rapidly diagnosed by Professor Cathy Speed and the referrals for the necessary procedures organised.

The second phase was to have Physiotherapy with Caroline a very caring and knowledgeable person.After three sessions of physiotherapy I was able,under careful supervision,to enjoy the excellent facilities in the Progress Gym.This was the highlight of the total experience because due to severe pain I had been unable to use a Gym for over four years.

Now at the age of seventy four I am able to enjoy short sessions on carefully selected apparatus. I consider myself very lucky to have enjoyed outstanding professional care at the Progress. Kind Regards to you all and a big thank you".

Thank you for the excellent advice and Physio treatment provided during my rehabilitation from a hip replacement. The recent sessions enabled me to gain additional mobility and confidence when walking and day to day activities. I now plan to join a group exercise class in St Neots for people recovering from operations, etc, which will add to my rehabilitation.

Many thanks again for your help which was much appreciated.
