I had MBST treatment with James at the end of 2018 and I’ve had excellent results. After a well known and nationally renowned knee specialist acknowledged that I needed a replacement knee, he asked if I’d consider MBST therapy beforehand to see if some improvement could be gained to prolong the surgery. I said I’d try it and he gave me Curaclinic/James’ details. After walking in on a stick and could hardly drive before my treatment, I’m now pretty/very active. Cycling and mountainous walking etc. The knee is still painful with certain actions but manageable. So a great improvement and looks like I’ll escape a new knee for the next foreseeable. At 59, the main benefit being the longer I can postpone the surgery, the less likely I’ll have revision surgery in the distant future - a second new knee! James was extremely professional, realistic, knowledgable, friendly and clearly excellent at his job!

After years of physical activity through sport, yoga and enjoying walking holidays my left knee was increasingly protesting, any stairs were agony up or down and I was always worried the knee was going to collapse under me. After an x-ray which showed not much cartilage left on the lower inside part and early signs of osteoarthritis , all the dear old NHS could offer was painkillers and eventually a new knee in about 6+ years!
Well, I wasn’t going to accept the impact that would have had on my life so I started researching other options. At the same time, a friend mentioned a relative of hers had been successfully treated by James. Having checked out the Cura Clinic website & read all the info and reviews I contacted James who was sure he could help. He explained everything carefully at a consultation appointment, examined the knee and showed me the MBST equipment he uses. There was no pressure but I decided to go for it so, in November ‘20 , the treatment began. After 3 days I was already feeling less pain and it just got better and better. Closely following James’ advice to drink water all day to help the cell regeneration, by Xmas I was doing things using the knee without thinking then realising I had done it! The swelling had reduced 100% and both knees continue to be the same size now. I fully realise the response times vary and are influenced by timing and diagnosis so I have been lucky with that.
I have had several follow up appointments for laser, acupuncture and electrical treatment and now have hardly any pain. I can go all day without having to stop and make adjustments as I did before. I have started walking again and completed several 3 - 4 mile hikes over uneven terrain. After the first one my knee was a bit sore for a couple of days but now I have little reaction. It can be a bit stiff when I get up but a few steps and it’s fine and stairs are no longer excrutiating and to be avoided!
One of the main gains for me has been the confidence I now have in the strength of my knee again and I can walk at a good sustained pace. Since 29th March I have played tennis twice with huge relief.
James has always been friendly and so supportive with his advice and treatment.
For me, it has been the best use of lockdown. Thank you James.

I had been in constant pain for 9 months with severe arthritis of the ankle joint. The joint had very limited movement and an ankle specialist consultant said that my only option was to have an ankle joint fusion. Then 11 months ago I found James and MBST treatment. I had a blast of MBST which breathed new life into my joint and the pain began to reside to only occasional bad days. I still visit James every 5 weeks or so for acupuncture, Physio etc. I am able to manage the condition and play some gentle tennis and go about general day to day life with out that continual gnawing pain. Thank you so much to James and Cura Clinical for giving me an alternative to surgery.

A massive thank you to James Scrimshaw your care, compassion and support has helped me be pain free. I felt such kindness and real empathy in your presence, you listened, advised and treated me with MBST treatment, your warmth and understanding is truly appreciated, you deserve a praise for your hardwork, dedication and commitment. I have experienced many professionals over the years to help me with pain relief and I believe you are the best! I highly believe and recommend MBST treatment it really works and worth a try, I was fortunate enough that a work colleague recommended James and was very impressed with the consultation and glad I was able to receive treatment! My colleague also received MBST treatment and is really impressed with the results and is not on any pain relief too. Keep up the good work and also Nigel thank you for looking after me too, you’re such a wonderful person and very compassionate 👍

Post 6 Months treatment, Wow! pain free and so worth it. highly recommend MBST treatment it truly works! James is such a kind and caring man, even after treatment is still there for support/advice.

I had seen James on and off for a year with persistent lower back pain. After an X-Ray it showed I had early sign of osteoarthritis in my hips despite only being 28 years old. He suggested the MBST treatment and i'm glad to say it's made a massive difference straight away. The pain in my lower back and hips has almost completely gone after just six weeks. I highly recommend MBST with the Cura team to anyone of any age who is experiencing discomfort in their back, hips or knees. I also can't speak highly enough of James for his support over the last year.

Having suffered pain from an ankle injury for over 12 months and tried every other avenue I came across an advertisement for Cura Clinical. To be honest I approached James more out of desperation than hope but on the basis of nothing ventured…. Based on his advice embarked on a course of MBST therapy. It took some time to show results as James warned me of but the results have been remarkable.
I would highly recommend Cura to anyone with joint injuries that are slow to heal. An additional bonus is that as well as being an expert in his field, James is a really nice chap!

I had been told by a hip specialist that I needed a hip replacement and being a (relatively) fit and healthy 42 year old yoga teacher - I wanted to look at alternatives. I was finding the pain was almost constant (at a 8/10) and was starting to really affect my life. James suggested a course of MBST and the results are amazing. My pain has dropped to a near non- existent level at maximum 2/10 and I’m not considering hip replacement surgery at all now. James talked through the whole process making me feel really informed and reassured and really cares about his patients - a five star service. Thank you James.

I turned to James, and Cura Clinical, after suffering from a slipped disc in my lower back. At the time of my first visit I could barely walk, and was struggling to sleep or work because of the level of pain I was experiencing, mostly due to the bulging disc resting on my sciatic nerve.

James worked tirelessly to reduce my pain, and educate me on lifestyle and nutritional changes I could make to speed up my recovery. He also advised me on exercises I could do at home and at work to reduce the pain further. James and his team have been incredible throughout my rehabilitation and I am now back playing sport, going to the gym, surfing and snowboarding, pain free! I couldn't be more thankful to James and the team for all their hard work.

As my condition is ongoing, I have to stay on top of my health and lifestyle choices to ensure my disc doesn't relapse again. I visit James once a fortnight and he ensures I'm pain free and flexible enough to continue with my active lifestyle. I have since undergone a series of Cell Regeneration Treatments (MBST) in my lower back, and 3 months on I am seeing a significant difference in my mobility and flexibly.
