State11 Reviews 

I made the appointment after deciding that 2024 would be my year to sort aches and ailments.. turns out, I should have done this years ago (huge facepalm!)
I dislocated my shoulder around 15yrs ago, and then again 4yrs ago - I’ve been to loads of physios and had sports massages etc over the years, however it’s always still ached and I’ve just “tolerated” it.. I genuinely should have made this appointment ages ago, in the past 3 days since my appointment my shoulder feels lighter and freer than ever, yes Greg’s wizardry did hurt at the time, with the following day it feeling achy - but since, it’s not even a niggle and I’m hopeful it’ll be onwards and upwards with exercises etc to continue strengthening.

This is my second visit to Greg at State11 in Spalding. I first visited in March of 23 and more recently January 15th 24. Same problem. MCL right knee. Last time, I didnt know what to do with the pain or how to treat. The GP gave me the run around and wanted to step up pain relief, which was masking and not treating, so eventually when I went in March of last year, I was pretty much nigh on crippled and staggered into his consulting room. This time, I recognised what it was and simply limped in. Greg has a wonderful way about him, professional and has perfected friendly , but authoritative informality. After 20 minutes or so of pain (he presses, kneads, stretches and massages not just areas where you know you are in pain - but happily finds places where you didn't have a clue that you were in pain with) he then covers you with this crepe tape which supports and seems to hold everything together. I think that he also relishes the idea that later, as the tape (usually a week to 10 days) loses its integrity , he knows it will cause you more discomfort LoL. But seriously, two days later, and I am pain free, I can walk, I do not have any discomfort. I cannot recommend State11 more highly. Thankyou Greg.

From the start Greg made we welcome whilst I struggled to walk into his studio. He works pure magic and yes, exactly as he says, I skipped out of his studio that night, the next few days I was sore and bruised like Rocky, but I could move and I can see hope and I am my pain is easing. Highly recommended and thank you Greg and Vic

I was a little dubious before my appointment but Greg put me at ease and we had a giggle along the way. Yes it hurt while being prodded and stretched but wow I feel so much better. Didn’t realise I would look like a crop circle after the cups 😂 I would definitely recommend going to see them if like me you have tried everything else and it didn’t work.
I would definitely return for another session.

Great, clear communication including appointment reminders and all the information I would expect and need beforehand.
Very friendly, caring & professional, with clear explanations of what was happening and why. Greg was happy to answer all the questions I had and was very knowledgeable. I felt I was in very safe hands and have seen noticeable improvement after just one session. I have tried so many things/people/places and this is by far the most helpful. Would recommend to absolutely everyone.

Greg did a great job. Feeling much better.

I went to see Greg because I had a small niggle in my back and it was really hurting when I was walking and just felt uncomfortable.

The room that Greg works in is a clear and open space with very little in it so you don’t feel overwhelmed by loads of equipment and loads of stuff cluttering the place, it is also a gorgeous colour which makes you feel very relaxed and very calm the minute you walk in.

Greg is a very friendly young man who immediately puts you at ease and explains in full what he’s going to do and gets you to do exercises throughout the session to check how his massage is working.

The massage itself is only painful in the places where you are suffering with pain but overall I found the treatment actually quite relaxing and I could feel my muscles relaxing as he was working on me and I was surprised at how bendy I was when we were checking how the massage was working throughout the session.

It has now been 24 hours and I cannot believe how different I feel.

I have just had the most amazing nights sleep not waking up once through the night with any sort of back issues and this morning I have been for a nice walk and there was no pain when I returned back home.

I didn’t realise how much my back was hurting until the pain disappeared and now I realise just how much it was affecting my daily life and my sleep pattern.

I will be returning back to Greg for a top up session just to prevent me from being in this sort of pain again. Greg did not at any time try to encourage me or push me to have any further treatments but I feel that it is the way forward to prevent any further problems occurring in the future.

I would 100% recommend Greg to help you manage and cure you of any pain even if you think that it is just a small niggle. I cannot wait to get back to my regular walking pattern and to get working in my garden again now that my back and my neck feel so much better.

Thank you so much Greg to you and your magic hands. I am very grateful that I am now super bendy and back to enjoying life I’m not thinking about whether my back is going to hurt if I attempt to do something.

Very professional and not only dealt with the current pain but advice on how to stay pain free in the future.
Highly recommended

I’ve been to Greg twice now. First time was for knee pain due to an injury and osteoarthritis which was seriously affecting my mobility. Greg’s soft tissue manipulation therapy isn’t painless but it is really effective. 3 weeks down the line and my knees are better than they have been in years! I would strongly recommend him.

Can't thank Greg enough for twisting (sorry, supporting!) me with my extremely painful back! I rang last minute after feeling it literally 'pop' at work, and he gave immediate advice and booked me an early morning 'out of hours' appointment...all the rave reviews are true! Client support is second to none at State 11 - highly recommended! What a fantastic asset to Spalding and surrounding areas - thanks Greg - and sorry for swearing :-)

Second visit to Greg for me, this time it was because of a sore neck and shoulder. I had been to another osteopath the week before because unfortunately for me Greg was on holiday but they didn't quite hit the spot! I was lucky to get in the same day as they had been very busy and when I left there I knew that he had done the business.
I can't recommend this place enough, I have sent family members and friends here and they have all said that it was the best thing they had done.
Hopefully I won't need to go back to regularly but as soon as I have any niggle I wont consider anywhere else, in fact I will hunt them down if they are on holiday again!!

Very friendly, and welcoming and they really are very good at wot they do i was in a lot of pain 😒with sciatica all sorted now they are 10 out 10 worth every penny

Just the very best at making your ouch that hurts moments better. I’ve been to see several people for my back but Greg is the very best ever. Cannot thank him enough.

Greg was brilliant very informative and caring. Would highly recommend.

went to see Greg a few weeks ago for my first session. he was very welcoming, calming and funny but at the same time extremely professional. after years of back problems and reduced mobility, Greg got me moving in ways I didn't think that I would again. went back to see him again yesterday, after self inflicted stupidity, and once again, got me fixed right up. he had no problems with my short notice appointment request and I was seen the same day. I would recommend State 11 to anyone. the small amount of discomfort during the appointment greatly outweighs how good you will feel afterwards.

Just been to see you at state 11 walked in full of back and hip pain, walked out with nearly no pain at all
Thank you!! miracle worker!!!

Greg is brilliant went in with a very sore and stiff back after 40 minutes Greg had sorted it, cannot recommend him enough

Went to Greg yesterday. Sciatica pain really bad. Bit sore today but so much better. Highly recommend and nice guy. 😉 Thank you so much.

After 8 mo this of walking on a painful ankle Greg has been able to sort out the problem I won’t say it was a happy experience at the time but I am so feeling the benefits now
Any regrets? Should have gone to him a lot sooner !!

My 12yr old son came to see Greg with a painful achilles which he got from playing football. He managed to book him in very quickly and was able to visit him that evening.
Greg was very knowledgeable and made my son feel at ease chatting to him about his injury and what the next steps were to getting it better. It has been a few days now and it is feeling really good.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
