Testimonials
Chris has been amazing, helping me with my plantar fasciitis. He listened to my concerns and came up with a plan that was easy for me to follow. I can highly recommend the shockwave therapy thats available, ive tried everything to try and get on top of my pain, and this is the only thing that has put me onto the road to recovery. Thank you Chris
I've had hip and leg pains for years and Chris very quickly made a diagnosis and give me exercises to do. The pain has not gone yet but is easing slowly which I think is great progress! The NHS physios I've seen previously did not get the same results. I'll keep on with the exercises, possibly for the rest of my life which is fine, and feel positive I will beat these nagging sciatica type pains I've had for ages!
Jake is a great physio. Very personable a professional. Hands on approach and great guidance in the gym next door to demo the rehab exercises. He’s got me back to doing all my sport activities again. Top man
I have been seeing Chris since July 2024 and would 110% recommend him and the Regen team. I don’t normally leave my house due to anxiety but Chris has always been kind, understanding and knows what he’s doing and talking about. I have finished my physio but I’m now having soft tissue management. First class company, first class treatment, top quality staff. Well done A*
Sophie is the third physiotherapist I have seen since my accident and she is the only one who’s managed to help me properly recoup. I have almost got my old life back because of her. She’s given me all the tools and support I needed to improve my strength and mobility and to continue doing so going forward. I can not recommend her enough to anyone who needs physiotherapy.
If you have a better physio than Chris at Regen I will be amazed. He is great on anatomical and specifically muscular knowledge, outstanding on dialogue to determine the best manipulation - and then delivering it, enthusiastic on getting you to a better position during and after your treatment, and a good conversationalist on a wide range of issues. Make sure you keep him! Top notch.
I first saw Chris thinking my issue was a small issue and massage would help it and Chris quickly assessed that it was more serious. Couldn't recommend him more genuinely nice lad who understands goals and time frames as well as not just sticking to one plan as one sock does not fit all. Whether your going for massage or physio chis has the knowledge to try several ways of helping and is extremely knowledgeable in all of them.
Had some sessions for what I thought was a shoulder issue. Saw Chris who quickly worked out it was a neck problem and began dealing with it. Made me feel really at ease and gave lots of advice to maintain after sessions had finished! Would 100% recommend.
Can not thank Chris Heslam enough for all the help he has given me through his physio sessions! He is professional, friendly and when I was very anxious about being in a wheelchair, he always made me feel so at ease. Highly recommend both Chris and Regen.
5 stars! Sophie was brilliant from the start in understanding my goals and working through an injury with me. Fantastic all round knowledge and helped me to understand exactly what was going on. I will be back for sure 👍🏻

I'm Chris, from Sheffield, and I mainly work across our Wakefield clinics!
My background has been in rugby predominantly and I've played to a high level including stints for Leicester Tigers and Notts, Lincs & Derbyshire on a county level.
Since stopping rugby I've become all things strength training obsessed, dabbling in the likes of strongman and powerlifting with the aim of earning the 'Worlds Strongest Dad' title while trying to keep up some hiking, wild swimming and trail running. My rehabilitation experience spans across complex poly-trauma through to treating high level athletes and to those wanting to work on their health, strength and ability to live a fulfilling life that fills their cup!
When I'm not working or training you'll find me half way up a mountain or on a lake with my wife and son!
What clients say
- “Life-changing progress”
- Uses explanations and metaphors that finally make things clear
- Outstanding with serious / long-term injuries (knees, plantar fasciitis, fractures)
- Kind, patient, and genuinely invested in improvement
Reputation: complex rehab leader; one of the highest-impact clinicians in the whole network.
"Chris was amazing. I always enjoy seeing new practitioners to get a better insight into my chronic pain. Chris taught me some great new things that no one had explained to me before, particularly about hypermobility. 10/10 recommend."

Hi I’m Sophie - I’m a physio working in our Castleford, Ackworth & Rotherham clinics.
I grew up in Somerset and, started my training in Cardiff before moving to finish in Sheffield (slowly making my way further North)…
In my spare time I love trail running, and use every opportunity I can to work on races to learn from the best (and use it as a cheeky excuse for a holiday)! I’ve crewed runners through UTMB, Ultra X, and am currently looking to plan my own races at UTS and Slovenia 110km next year.
I love getting outside, so I really appreciate how much an injury can set you back from doing the things you love & really start to effect your mental health. I work with everyone of all ages and lifestyles, just hoping to get you the life you want to live (even if that’s better than it was pre-injury). If you have any questions, or aren’t sure if physio is for you - please reach out & we’ll see how we can point you in the right direction.
What clients say
- Amazing with older adults and mobility issues
- Kind, professional, warm
- Helps people stand, walk and regain confidence
- Families regularly leave emotional, grateful reviews
Reputation: compassionate rehab specialist; phenomenal with complex personal cases.
"Friendly, experienced and knowledgeable. Honestly, I think Sophie must know everything about all muscles and what to do with them!! Couldn't be more pleased with the service and treatment 😊"
