Frequently Asked Questions about Sports Therapy in Warwick
Absolutely not, all our appointments can be booked directly with us by calling or emailing us. There is no need to contact your GP.
All our Sports Therapy sessions are 50 minutes long.
Unlike many of our competitors all of our follow up appointments are also 50 minutes long.
Having 50 minutes means that we can reassess your condition at every appointment.
This allows us to check that the exercises are doing what we need and you are progressing.
Each follow up will also involve hands on work in the form of massage or soft tissue techniques and we will also check and change exercises at every appointment session.
We don’t feel we can do that effectively in less that 50minutes, so all our appointments last 50 minutes.
Depending on the area that needs to be assessed, we would ask you to bring a pair of shortish shorts or a strappy top.
This allows us to see as much as possible, so we can effectively assess you.
Our assessments often involve taking measurements and watching how muscles interact, so the ability to see muscles is very useful.
Physiotherapists are trained in medical conditions, often working in hospitals with Stroke, arthritis and neurological conditions.
Sports Therapists are specialists in Musculoskeletal pain and injury, training only in this area. Meaning they aren’t trained in medical conditions. However, here at the Reinge Clinic, Ian is a Sports Therapist, but also a fully trained Physiotherapist. Gina is a Sports Therapist, but also has an Exercise Physiologist, giving you the best of both worlds. We are specialists in Muscular pain, with the understanding and experience of dealing with medical conditions.
Essentially in Private practice, there is little difference between a Sports Therapist and a Physiotherapist, other than the Sports Therapist may give a more hands on treatment.
Sports Therapy is rarely a painful treatment.
Assessing an injury or a sore joint can be painful, but allows us to understand where the pain is.
Sports Therapists use Sports Massage techniques within their treatments and these can sometimes be uncomfortable.
We will always ask you for feedback on pain so we can modify our hands on work. If things are painful, please let us know so we can modify our assessments or treatments.
Sports Massage is a treatment based on loosening tight muscles, it is a deep level of massage and is excellent at maintaining a healthy body. However Sports Massage Therapists aren’t trained in assessment and treatment of pain and injury. For that you need to see a Sports Therapist or Physiotherapist.
You can book using our online booking system. Or you can email us or call us directly.
We don’t use receptionists, so when you call or email you get directly either Ian or Gina, who can answer any questions you may have about your condition, prior to making a booking.
Please contact us before you book in and let us know that you would like to use your Private Insurance.
Many insurance companies do not cover Sports Therapy treatments, however, if you would like to use your insurance, we can ensure you are booked with Ian. He is also a Chartered Physiotherapist and can work with most insurance companies.

Always excellent. Strength returning and feel much stronger as a result.

We race sidecar Motocross, which is possibly one of the most demanding sports on the planet. After a large crash where we both sustained injuries we visited the Reinge Clinic. I was treated by Gina and my passenger by Ian. Both are fantastic knowledgable therapists who clearly explained what we had broken and how they were going to fix it. We have been able to continue racing through both the treatment sessions but the strengthening programmes they designed to ensure injuries do not reoccur.

Went to see Gina after injuring my ankle and knee. She was very professional and soon got me back on my feet again. I would highly recommend her.

Gina is an absolutely marvel! I had incredibly painful and chronic shoulder pain that had been causing serious issue for over 2 years. I had been to lots of different practitioners - with no luck. Happily Gina set me right! I couldn’t be happier. ????

I can highly recommend Ian's unique approach to physiotherapy. He doesn't just treat the symptoms, he works like a detective to get to the root of the problem. He found that my back pain had started with a weakness in my foot and so has treated me from the ground up to straighten me out. After 2 sessions I am so much more comfortable and should stay that way if I do my exercises! Very comprehensive and thorough, thank you Ian.

I went to the clinic for a running gait assessment with Ian. No specific injury problems, but from the wear on my running shoes I knew there was something not quite right. A very professional approach to not only analysing my style but also identifying the cause of the problem. Suggested exercises provided which should help, and the offer to review again in a few months if I sent a video. Couldn't really have asked for more.

I needed the pain to go away....yet had discovered in recent years that not all physios are equal! So I put more effort into finding one that was good - and subsequently went to Gina at The Reinge Clinic. Bottom line .... the pain has completely gone - she seemed to know quickly where the root cause of the problem was hiding, and addressed it. Only took 3 sessions - I had expected it to take far longer. Huge thanks.

Gina was very informative, patient and she successful in completely eliminating my shoulder and arm problems - Thank you so much!

John Hayden

I attended the Reinge Clinic with a back problem and painful right hip caused by some rather over enthusiastic running. Gina immediately identified the underlying cause and over three sessions together with her recommended exercises the problems have been resolved. A very friendly and professional service. I would definitely recommend the clinic.

I was introduced to Gina & Ian, the owners, who are in the process of transferring their long established business in Bristol to Kenilworth in Warwickshire. A few weeks earlier, I had a calf strain & over the years, my calfs have tended to be tight with me pulling my calf 18 months ago & some 10 years or so. Despite this, I have managed to get back, ran a half marathon in 1.29, 5k in sub 20 minutes & represented my country at 5k, 1500m & 800m. I have, however, always worried about calf niggles. I went to see Ian in his impressive Kenilworth practice. He did both a running gait & complete assessment, a bit of treatment & recommended no running for 6 weeks & 2 specific exercises which would take me no more than 10 minutes each day. I did not need to see Ian again but was determined to get back running & preferably injury free. Over the next 6 weeks, I continued with the exercises & started walking. After easing back into the running, I can now confidently report that I have ran 3 park runs in sub 22 minutes, jogged 2 hours & my calfs feel so good. As a precaution, I will book in to see Ian again in the next few days. What I like most about both Gina & Ian is that they are professionals, on your side & wanting to get to the root cause of the real problem; something many other health professionals just don't do. I can fully recommend both Gina & Ian. Thank you for your advice & support.

I went to Gina at Reinge with ongoing shoulder issues. Due to past experiences I was skeptical of physio work, but Gina was fantastic: patient, friendly, and put's everything in layman's terms so I could actually understand what was actually going on. She also identified a long-term undiagnosed issue (which many other 'specialists' have failed to even note before) within one session. After a few sessions, my shoulder is improving! Highly recommend to anyone.

I began seeing Gina towards the end of 2020 due to having severe back pain. I have a lower lumbar fusion and 2 slipped discs. After a thorough inspection and assessment Gina was able to begin her diagnosis and spec out a plan for me. At the point of first meeting Gina I was in so much pain that I could barely be touched and now I am able to train, run and cycle again without feeling pain. I am now undergoing running assessments to understand where my issues are, how to rectify them safely and set realistic goals.

The clinic has an ethic of finding, treating and eliminating the cause of pain, not just treating the effect. Gina has been tenacious in treating me with regard to my problems, even contacting my GP to initiate further help for me. I have conditions that haven't readily yielded to treatment, but that hasn't deterred Gina who has constantly, and consistently, sought answers and treatments that will work for me. She has stabilised my back problem - Spondylolisthesis - until surgery is carried out. Her work on my right knee has been exemplary. I have no hesitation in recommending her and Ian. Thank you, Gina . . .

I am a keen cyclist and runner. I visited the Reinge clinic as a result of continued tightness and discomfort in my IT band. Gina was fantastic. Her approach was friendly and professional. She had fantastic knowledge and was able to articulate this in a way that was easy to understand. Gina was focused on addressing the underlying causes of the injury and providing long term solutions. I would highly recommend the reinge clinic for both injuries and ongoing maintenance.

5 stars for Ian! Deciding to get physio after an injury can be a daunting prospect, especially when trying to find someone who you can trust to take you from being in chronic pain and not being able to move, to moving in the right direction. Ian is extremely passionate about the mechanics of the body and isn't phased by taking on someone with a badly herniated disc. I was told that surgery was looking likely, but I wanted to try all other options first as surgery was no guaranteed silver bullet. Ian has been extremely supportive with explaining the issues, deciphering MRI scans and providing a tailored set of key stretches, both face to face and via videos to help in my road to recovery. I am back now cycling and swimming (better than i was before my injury!) and while i am less dependent on intense sessions with Ian, I am still a regular client as daily life still puts pressures on my body that need a professional to reset. I highly recommend Ian to anyone looking for injury recovery or general physio support, but also for anyone looking to change their mindset towards investing time and effort into trying to future proof their bodies from the risk of issues.

I used The Reinge Clinic to help me with my gait as I was training for the London Marathon. My running technique was all wrong, but with their help, it improved significantly, and I finished my first marathon at the age of 46. The sports massages kept me in top form and free from injuries. I would give them 5 stars and will definitely return to them in the future!

Gina solved my back problem. Having seen a number of physios with no success, Gina quickly identified the problem and put a plan in place. Within 4 weeks my back problem had gone and I was sleeping much better!

Gina has become my ‘go to’ therapist for all my training niggles and injuries as well as for many of my clients. I enjoy her no nonsense approach that addresses so much more than the specific joint or muscle causing me discomfort. I tend to learn a lot from each appointment and I am convinced it has helped both my running as well as my own work with personal training clients. Gina keeps me running and keeps me working – both of which I love, so I thoroughly recommend her. I even recommend a visit even if you’re not injured! She can help you improve your posture and technique as well as help with race recovery.

You don’t need to be sporty to benefit from seeing a Sports Therapist. Gina is helping me correct bad habits that started with my shoulder surgery decades ago. It’s tough when she tells you how many things are wrong but amazing when they start to come right. I’ll never be sporty, and don’t want to be, but I have much more energy and better quality of life since she started sorting me out.

I’m no spring chick, all but 50 now but still compete at an international level in powerlifting. Not a common sport but none the less very competitive and to my name have numerous British, European and World records. However, unlike the younger lifters, when I hurt myself, which I inevitably do, I don’t get over it in a day and need assistance, rehabilitation and exercises. So far I have always been able to be fixed, and my biggest mistake; not seeing Ian or Gina straight away inevitably delaying the fixing process. So whether you are a sports person, or suffering with pain or mobility don’t put it off. The sooner you see Ian or Gina the sooner you will be on the road to recovery.
