Prohab’s running programme delivered great results for me within only a few sessions.
After an initial assessment, I began a personalised coaching programme, combining nutritional advice with recommended stretches and exercises for peak running performance. This has enabled me to achieve personal bests that I would have never previously thought possible. Prohab’s approach to running performance is extremely thorough and I would have no hesitation in recommending the programme to others.

I first hurt my back when I was 18 and have had problems on and off ever since.
That was until 2004 when Carlyle was recommended to me by Warren Smith. I have taken on board his advise and adjusted my training and stretching routine. As a result I now do not have a problem with my lower back. I still see Carl regularly to keep a check on things and have minor adjustments but he also helps to keep my stress levels and mental health in tip top condition. A big bonus of this is that my skiing has improved and I am lot more relaxed. I would recommend Prohab for any health problems not just spinal.

I completed the Marathon in 3h 34m, which is 4 min better than my last time!
12 weeks ago I was even doubting that I could do the marathon but thanks to the training with you it worked perfect, thanks again!!!!

The back is doing good thanks!
I have cut as much starch as I see possible out of my diet, and combined with the exercises you gave me I have basically no back pain at all and am totally off any sort of pain killers/anti inflammatory!! Took a bit of an impact a couple weeks ago (see photo) and felt it but pain was gone by next day! Thanks again for the help.

I had no idea what to expect!
I had no idea what to expect, as I was not someone who suffered back or neck pain, and so I was unsure why I should see someone like Carlyle. A friend introduced me to the Prohab concept and over the past 3 years, the treatment I have received has been amazing. The painless, non-intrusive technique gets straight to the core of the problem and helps my body heal itself.
Work wise - managing work, home and play often means I am multi-tasking. It helps me to re-focus, prioritise and approach jobs in an orderly, level-headed manner. My life seems to get busier, so maintaining my wellbeing is important to me. Prohab is a major factor in my wellbeing.

I was faced with the potential of not being able to run or climb again!
Carlyle is well-known by other practitioners and therapists for his ability to get results and was highly regarded by my own physiotherapist who agreed that his way of working could really compliment the physiotherapy that I was already having.
Following several knee surgeries that were threatening to be unsuccessful, I was faced with the potential of not being able to run or climb again and Carlyle's creative style and approach helped me overcome whatever problems my body was having in healing itself and made the physiotherapy more effective. Carlyle worked on the way communication occurred within my body and the underlying, unconscious side-effects of chronic pain which were stopping me achieving my goals. Within only a few sessions, the way my whole body moved started to improve and previous behavioural patterns changed so that I started overcoming the issues I had been facing for such a long time.
Carlyle works in a uniquely holistic way that cannot be simply categorised because he uses a blend of his wide range of skills, therapies and approaches, matching them to the needs of the individual. As a psychologist, I was fascinated by his techniques and the way he found the root of problems I could never have found or been aware of myself and I was amazed at how quickly I saw results. I am now looking forward to achieving some pretty ambitious goals that were looking nearly impossible such a short time ago.

Prohab helped me resolve a longstanding physical issue.
While it did not stop me from doing the things I Love, it was constantly present and would often leave me in spasm if I did too much. It certainly made my work more difficult.
The holistic approach to resolving this was the key. Addressing the physical element together its relationship with stress, essentially re-designing how my brain processed it, allowed for a sustainable healing and recovery process. Prohab also spent the time to ensure I had the tools to continually develop my physical resilience. My back is incredible.

My Neck was giving me significant problems
The bar was high, Prohab was recommended to me by an extreme sports enthusiast and great friend who has traveled the world and said Carlyle is by far the best chiro he has met. And did he deliver? My neck had been given me significant problems for a good 2 years and both traditional medicine and physio have only given a short term effect. Prohab’s style of treatment was a completely new way of working for me, looking at the core of the problem from a mental and physical angle, meant I reappraised my posture, thinking and attitude to stress. After 12 treatments, of complete revelation and enjoying every minute of the sessions, my neck is completely better, my posture is a million times improved and I feel so much more in charge of life.
So would I recommend Prohab as my friend did to me?
The answer, a complete and resounding yes all the way.

Having trawled Harley St in search of a cure for back pain, I eventually ended up at Prohab.
I’d been competing in rowing but was in fairly constant pain. I found it difficult to drive, sit for long periods or sleep. Six months later, through working with Prohab, I was able to complete the Etape du tour (Stage of the Tour de France) without pain and have now gone back to rowing training trouble free.
The Prohab approach was very different to any other specialist I had seen, considering the psychological impact of an injury as well as the purely physical. I particularly enjoyed Prohab’s attitude towards sport, that it was not something that should be outlawed until completely recovered but an intrinsic part of recovery.

After two spinal surgeries my consultant said I would never run, let alone play football again.
I was 27 yrs old. With Prohab’s help I am now back playing 90 minutes of football competitively. The holistic approach Prohab uses was the key to that. I thoroughly recommend anyone who has been told ‘that’s all we can do, you will have to live it’ to have a Prohab assessment.

A dealing floor can be a stressful environment.
Timing is everything and remaining clear and focused is key. Therefore, being hindered by regular migraines made it impossible to work in an efficient way. Carlyle’s approach is unique. It is not reactive; throwing drugs at you to mask the problem. Carlyle takes the time to understand the root cause and works with you to discover a solution.
I never thought I would be able to regain and maintain a feeling of focus; both at and away from work. Since seeing Carlyle, I have not had a single migraine, I have felt stronger and more confident.

Unleash your true creative power
My work is all about making creativity work for people and organisations. I find a lot of the barriers to creativity and innovation at work lie not within processes but in people. Our histories, our self-beliefs, whether right or wrong, can block us tapping into our true creativity that we all have within us. Carlyle has developed a unique approach that helps individuals recognise and release these blocks to unleash their true creative power.

Carlyle is an enlightened & unique practitioner
Carlyle is an enlightened and unique practitioner who combines his professional training with strong personal empathy. We’re all exceptional somehow but sometimes we forget how it happened or how to harness our talents or both. Carlyle seems to get it back.

Carlyle is a unique and exceptional practitioner.
His deep interest in his subject areas has led him to explore healing and performance issues in a holistic, creative and ground breaking way. One cannot but be impressed by the range of skills and abilities that he brings into his professional work. I have no hesitation in recommending Carlyle.

Chronic repetitive hamstring strains
A client came to Profeet for custom insoles and footwear and was taken through our analysis process to assess what type of foot he had and how it moved. He showed a high forefoot strike with a significant difference between left and right feet in terms of how much each heel connected with the ground.
Knowing this could have implications on how our client ran, and given the client was experiencing chronic repetitive hamstring strains, and he had already visited numerous specialists and traditional therapists, we referred him to Carlyle at Prohab. Carlyle had, two years previously, sorted my shoulder out in three sessions, so that I was no longer paddling my surfboard in circles!
After 6 treatment sessions with Carlyle, a follow-up foot pressure scan was taken a few months later. A significant difference in both his foot motion and symmetry between the left and right foot was observed.
The client reported complete resolution of hamstring problems. The change in performance and function was achieved after just six visits. Amazing, given the treatment is painless and reinforces the unique approach Prohab has to resolving problems common with runners.

I feel More in Control
Little did I know that going to Carlyle to relieve the pain in my shoulder would lead to not just a pain free shoulder but better sleep, a better understanding of how and why I respond in certain situations and a change in the way I experience and manage challenging times at work.
The popular misconception that I had of chiropractors being ‘bone doctors’ was replaced with a better understanding of Carlyle’s skills in improving the way nerves communicate with each other and more importantly, an understanding of the underlying, often unconscious, reasons for our automatic emotional response to certain situations.
In just two sessions, I found the triggers to certain negative emotional patterns which now, being aware of, I have started to change.
Life and work is not less difficult but I know that I am experiencing and responding to situations in a different way. I feel more in control - more aware of myself and generally healthier.

Backache had been spoiling my enjoyment of both skiing and sailing for a number of years.
The impact of Carlyle’s approach, combining physical and mental change, has been extraordinary. This year I was able to ski steeper, harder and longer than ever before, had no backache for the whole season, and yes, I had that perfect run I created in our sessions!

I would thoroughly recommend Carlyle’s approach to anybody.
I began training for the London Marathon 2006, having been forced to withdraw from the London Marathon 2005 through hip and knee injuries sustained from the high mileage. As the mileage increased in 2006, my body once again began to show the strains that would prevent me from competing. I was becoming concerned and upset at the prospect of missing the marathon for a second year running. However, during a custom insole fitting at Profeet, I was recommended to contact Dr Carlyle Jenkins as someone who could perhaps help get me through the marathon. I took their advice and now I’m so glad that I did.
Within one session, Carlyle had shown me a connection between the body’s physiology and mind’s influence over it that I never before believed existed. Also, within that first session, he was able to show me how this could make a huge difference to my ability to compete in the marathon. I really was amazed. So I had a few more sessions before the marathon. During these sessions, Carlyle used his unique understanding of all aspects of the body and his unique capability to apply this understanding to not only get my body into condition to run the marathon, but also to lay down a time (3h 40m) that I didn’t think I would be capable of, just one year ago.

I have seen numerous therapists and specialists regarding my shin splints.
I was at first sceptical about Carlyle’s technique and approach but he took the time to explain what he was doing and why. Carlyle’s touch is light and his technique so quick it is almost impossible to believe it will work. Three sessions and my shin splints were no longer an issue. Truly amazing.

I was told by the specialist in France that I was never going to ski, run or play football again…
I had just survived a massive avalanche in which my good friend was killed and to be in one piece was some sort of miracle. I set out to prove the doctors wrong.
About two years after the avalanche I managed with great pain to complete the London triathlon (1500m swim, 40k bike and 10k run). The swim and cycle I found relatively “easy” but the run was agony.In the summer of ‘03 a friend referred me to Carlyle. Carlyle’s in-depth consultation revealed that I had broken a plate that held my pelvis together. It resulted in severe back and hip pain once again. Combining Carlyle’s mental and physical approach with my physio rehab and gym work allowed me to happily say that the French doctors were 100% wrong as I completed my first London Marathon in 2005 within just over 5 hrs.
