Diane keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes, from manging the team, coordinating our diary and busy class schedule, to ensuring the clinic feels welcoming and organised every day.

Diane’s dedication, professionalism, and efficiency make a huge difference to both staff and patients alike.

Thank you, Diane, for a decade of hard work and commitment. We’re lucky to have you!

Another fabulous Case Study from one of our participants - well done Maureen and please share this with anyone you know worldwide who enjoys dancing!
"I just wanted to provide a bit of feedback to you. I've been loving my Cardi fit studio classes and usually it's been Lauren and Richard who have taken the classes.
The exercises, the variety, the coaching provided is excellent. They are a credit to you all and the fabulous business you have set up. I did a catch up class yesterday (Saturday, studio, Dance Fit with Evie) for the first time. It was perfect for me. I loved the exercises, Evie's coaching was, like Lauren and Richard, excellent, friendly and professional. I can't make every Saturday morning, but when I can I loved the class and will look forward to making it a lovely part of some of my weekends." - Maureen

Thank you Olga for this lovely review and well done for being a committed Platinum Class participant for over FIFTEEN years! "I have been attending cardi-back classes since 2008, the time when Platinum was launched. These sessions are important for me as they keep me out of pain and active. I cannot thank the team enough for their work, which is a lifeline for many of us. Sessions are usually challenging and very enjoyable. All instructors who work with the group are excellent - on Thursday we had Richard who was very organised, focused, attentive to every participant and gave us useful comments. I would like to thank Neil for his energy and dedication in organising and running this business and building up a wonderful team of professionals. I would highly recommend Platinum PPT to anyone. Olga"

Thank you "D"& well done Richard! - I just wanted to say that I have just completed a Swiss ball class with Richard online. I have done one face to face with him but today's was fabulous and needs comment. He was great at demonstrating and suggesting adaptions but also brilliant at coaching during the sessions, correcting positions, explaining what was happening and informing you of where the work was happening and what you should be feeling. It was a great 'learning' class, that was really hard but I felt like I really worked and understood why I was hurting, stretching etc. He also has the gift of the gab and distracted us with information about the body and exercise as we worked. After a hard day at work, it was a great 'pick me up'. Praise for Richard, he's a great asset to your team. Thanks, D".

Well done “A” and “A’s mum” for this great feedback as part of the Platinum Follow-up Questionnaire” that patients receive.
“For the question above , I sent my mam to get her bad knee sorted which you guys did amazingly! The feedback from me is absolutely amazing the 3 times I've used the service twice for an injuries which have been 100% resolved still and once for a deep tissue just to keep everything free and loose! Will absolutely come back in the future for further deep tissue or treatments if and when I require! Big thanks to Neil, Richard and the team for everything!”

What a lovely update from Stephanie - well done! (On the THE UK SCIATICA Pain Support Group - Sciatic Nerve Back Pain Slipped Discs)·
"Long, but positive post! Massive shout out to Neil Sleeman and all the Platinum Physiotherapy and Personal Training, Durham, UK team who have been a life saver over the last few months and particularly this week. I've been attending the swiss ball classes since January when I had what I thought was a reherniation following surgery in 2021 and 2022. I had a 121 with Neil who very quickly reassured me that that wasn't the case and got me on the swiss ball and I have successfully doing weekly classes since then to build strength. Unfortunately at the beginning of this week I had some more pain in the back and was worried I'd done some serious damage as couldn't stand up straight. I spoke to the team and did my regular swiss ball class, albeit with some discomfort but was given adapted positions. I also spoke to Neil the next day who gave me some other exercises and we agreed to check in the next day after a 2nd swiss ball class he suggested I do. Neil assessed me (remotely) and again reassured me that there was nothing sinister and by the end of the session I was almost pain free. Fast forward to today and I am on holiday in Belgium (with my swiss ball!), something I didn't think would happen given the pain earlier in the week.
I honestly can't thank Neil enough, not only are his classes accessible to all as they can be done remotely and tailored to each person, but he is so supportive and always at the end of the phone. I never thought I would be a regular exercise class attendee, and now I'm going to to do three a week!
I've been a silent lurker in this group for many years and know how debilitating and lonely the pain can be. For anyone going through this I can't recommend Platinum enough"
