Hansford & Crocker offer the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of sports injuries and occupational musculoskeletal pain at our clinics in Hessle and Willerby. 

We also offer sports massages and injury prevention programmes at both clinics plus personal training sessions at our new fully equipped personal fitness & rehabilitation studio attached to the Hessle clinic.

Injury Rehabilitation

We are dedicated to providing the best, up-to-date treatment modalities and techniques so that our clients can progress quickly, effectively and safely and allow a return to sport or the workplace as rapidly as possible.
 
We provide a cutting edge, tailored diagnostic and treatment service, specifically designed for each client. Our aim is to help each individual overcome their injury with confidence and allow them to get back to performing at their very best, with a reduced risk of re-injury.
 
We also investigate the cause of the injury and work with you to try and prevent the problem from recurring, correct any causative factors that contributed to the injury and give you the tools to manage the condition yourself.
 
 
Sports Massages
 
Sports massage, the manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissue including muscles, ligaments and tendons in order to enhance the functions of the body such as movement and performance, can assist in correcting problems and imbalances that are caused by repetitive and strenuous physical activity.  Its reported benefits include the reduction of lactic acid build-up after exercise and help in reducing headaches.
 
It is not only for sports injuries: it is suitable for anyone who needs a deep tissue massage to relieve muscle tension or discomfort caused by work related repetitive movements, such as computer use or general physical activity.
 
We offer full 1 hour full body or half-hour upper or lower body sports massages at both clinics with a special rate offered for pre-booked courses of 5 sessions.  It is also included as part of our personal training packages.
 
Personal Training
 
We now offer a range personal training packages to suit individual needs that combine 1 hour personal training sessions with 30 minute sports massages and nutritional advice, at our Hessle clinic.
 
Alternatively, we offer a 'Pay as You Go' service consisting of a one hour personal training session.
 
If you want to train alongside a friend we are happy to accommodate the two of you for the Personal Training Sessions with one of us, at no extra charge.
 
Please see the Treatment Fees page for further details and pricing.

Injury Prevention
 
It is, of course, better to avoid injuries in the first place so Hansford & Crocker offer individual 1 hour injury prevention sessions designed to give you the knowledge to lower your chances of injury while taking part in your sport or activity. An integral part of the programme is an initial screening session where we look to identify any weaknesses you might have which we then use as the basis of the prevention programme.
 
We can also provide injury prevention courses for clubs or groups of players for a wide variety of sports or activities: please contact us for details of our corporate deals for clubs and companies.

Clinics
 

Appletree Court studioAfter 2 years at Nuffield Health, we opened our new Clinic at Appletree Court in Hessle in September. The Hansford & Crocker clinic at Total Fitness continues as normal but the clinic in Nuffield Health and Fitness at Kingston has now closed.

 

\hessle MapThe Appletree Court clinic is situated in thecentre of Hessle opposite All Saints’ Church.  The clinic is approached down Vicarage Lane off Tower Hill/Swinegate: our car park, and Clinic entrance, can be found through the gate on the left at the end of the lane.

 
Our other clinic is located at Total Fitness at Willerby where the treatment room is situated in the middle of the gym. Please ask at the main reception desk to be directed to the Hansford & Crocker reception area. You do not have to be a member of Total Fitness to use our clinic at Willerby.
 
You can make appointments for either clinic by calling our Appletree Clinic (01482 641 050) or Total Fitness Clinic (01482 650 787) numbers. 
 
Members of Nuffield Health, Fitness and Wellbeing centres and Total Fitness continue to be entitled to their treatment discount at both clinics.
 

We feel that the service we provide, coupled with the professional atmosphere that Total Fitness and our new Appletree Court clinic offer, is the perfect environment to recuperate from an injury, confidently and effectively.
 
Please feel free to contact Alex Hansford or Will Crocker if you have any questions or for further details on our treatments.

“If I could describe Alex and Will in one word it would be LEGENDS! I’m 25 years old and have spent the last 10 years in a reclined electric wheelchair due to a neuro-muscular disease. When the medical specialists had given up on my chances of ever being able to walk again, no other trainer or Physio would give me a chance, as the so called specialists are always ‘right’. From the first time I met Alex and Will, their enthusiasm and positive attitude towards my training and ability to improve, gave me the first glimmer of hope I’d had in a long time. Hope that there was more to my life than being confined to a wheelchair. That was two and a half months ago and during that time I have made enormous gains in my physical condition. Through the tireless efforts of Alex and Will I can now sit up, lift my head, have great strength in my arms and legs along with the development of core strength. I am at a point, in only two and a half months, that not long ago I would never have thought possible and this is purely down to the dedication, support and encouragement of Alex and Will. The treatment they provided was a result of their expertise in conjunction with research they undertook on my specific disease, creating a specialized regime suited just for me. With their help, I hope to walk once again and regain back my independence and my life. Words can’t express how thankful I am to have found Alex and Will and to me they are my hero’s."

“Just over two years ago I sustained a foot injury whilst kick-boxing which meant I was in constant 24/7 pain. I couldn't walk properly, let alone do any sport, so like anyone else I went to my GP for help. I was referred to a consultant orthopaedic surgeon. I believed I was in the best hands possible and over a one and a half year period had five X-Rays, an MRI scan and an anti-inflammatory/analgesic injection in the ankle. In the end the consultant told me he couldn't find the cause of my pain and could only offer me another injection. I was disappointed to say the least and thought I would have this pain for the rest of my life. Someone at work recommended 'Hansford & Crocker', and I had nothing to lose, so booked an appointment. I saw Will and in the first 10 minutes of the first session he did some exercises with my foot and pinpointed exactly what was wrong. I was very impressed and have now been to a few sessions. My pain has decreased an enormous amount and I should be pain free within the next month at this rate. I believe the work that Will and Alex do is amazing and I would like to say a huge 'THANK YOU', especially to Will, for not just relieving my pain but for not giving up when everyone else had. I will never use anyone else!"

"I heard of Hansford & Crocker through a relative of mine and as I have had so many problems with my back, I thought I would try them. It was the best decision I have made and wish I knew about them a couple of years ago!
I am in my 70s and used to play golf. I had a prolapsed disk and was in constant agony. I had an operation and saw a few Physios who said I had to give up golf and would have pain for the rest of my life.
I saw Alex and he said he would get me fixed and back on the green. I have never been so pleased with the results. I now have no pain in my back at all and I play golf 3 times a week. My back is stronger, without pain and has fantastic movement. My swing is the best it’s ever been.
I entered an annual golfing tournament and came first and won my first trophy and it is all thanks to Hansford & Crocker. My life has changed and my passion for golf has come back which is a far cry from when I was told last year I wouldn’t be able to play again.
Thank you so much, and I wish you the very best."

"Apologies for the delay but I just wanted to write a short note of thanks for the excellent treatment I received for my hamstring injury at Hansford & Crocker. The diagnosis and location of the specific point of injury, together with the targeted treatment programme allowed me a rapid recovery. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank both you and Alex for the follow up questions whenever you see me in Cannon's gym. It is a nice touch. The treatment was well worth the money spent and I also appreciated never feeling pressured into an extra, what might be perceived as an 'unnecessary' treatment session. I would definitely recommend you to others that require sports rehabilitation."

"I have suffered for over 6 years with neck and back pain. I regularly saw my GP and was referred several times for physio. I had a M.R.I. scan in 2007 which revealed that I had Spondylosis of the neck and spine.
Over the years my GP gave me regular steroid injections and I took several types of medication. My GP and Physio both told me it was something I would just have to learn to live with. I'm 32 years old and my daily living was restricted. I was recommended to visit Hansford & Crocker and can't believe the difference and benefit I have gained. 
I am no longer in constant pain and have reduced the amount of medication I need to take.
Hansford & Crocker are fantastic and I would, and have, recommend them to others."

"I am just writing to say thank you for sorting out my ankle. As you know I had an injury 14 years ago and the hospital was not very helpful at the time and I have struggled every winter with this problem. I am so pleased I visited your injury clinic. The treatment that you have given me has helped me enormously. The exercises are helping me to strengthen my ankle. So once again - Thank you very much."
