Ammar's passion is treating people suffering pain. His greatest satisfaction is treating patients who have been unable to get relief from other specialists. Starting from the age of 17, when a back injury ended his promising professional footballer career, he spent eleven years studying and developing the techniques he now uses.
CTCLINIC.CO.UK was founded by Ammar Sawaf in 2006. At the clinic, COPA Therapy is successfully used to treat pain. Extensive research taught Ammar that he could break pain down into an accumulation of lactic acid in sometimes very small muscles. The clinic uses unique techniques to treat pain. Our revolutionary treatment for pain - COPA Therapy combines effective techniques from physiotherapy, chiropractic therapy, osteopathy and acupuncture.

Most of our patients will leave the clinic with much less pain than when they arrived, regardless of how severe their pain was. All our sessions last approximately 40-45 minutes and will always be on a one-to-one basis. During your session, our practitioner will spend most of the time working physically on your area of pain by manipulating and stimulating the muscles.

I've recently had lower back pain so I attended CT Clinic and had a consultation with Francesca and Ammar. The whole experience from start to finish was brilliant and they both talked me through everything and what procedure they would be undertaking. Francesca got deep into my back muscles and found the problem area and then also put some focus on easing my tight glute muscles. I would highly recommend this clinic not only for their skill and professionalism but because of their informatative and friendly approach with the main focus on achieving full resolution of symptoms. Be sure to get yourself

Attended last week for a consultation and treatment with Fran. The consultation was very thorough and gave insight into reasoning behind my shoulder and upper back pain. The treatment lasted around an hour and was focused on key areas I had been experiencing issues and transferable discomforts. Fran was excellent and explained step by step each stage of the treatment. My upper back pain is significantly better and my sleeping pattern has improved. I can now get back to doing the activities I enjoy in life. I've tried many massage places and deep tissue massages but CT clinic really actually tackled

I have suffered from neck and shoulder pain for years and tried many different treatments. The COPA therapy Ammar did made the most difference and the pain has significantly reduced after six sessions. He is so good that I have asked my husband who has been suffering from chronic lower back pain to book with Ammar.

Before seeing Amman. I had pain in the neck, upper back, shoulder and upper arms. The pain was so bad I could not sleep and even pain killers did very little to numb the pain. The only way I could get any sleep was sitting on a chair and even then it was in short bursts of an hour at a time. Amman was great. He's very friendly and easy to talk too. After two sessions I could already see the benefits and was able to sleep in the bed again. Highly recommend if your suffering from sever pain.

Before coming to the CT Clinic I had constant neck and upper back pain, both in the morning and in the evening I felt a numbness and pinching sensation in certain muscles. It started to affect my sleep and work. After receiving COPA therapy my muscle tightness has been relieved and my pain has gone from a 10 to a 0.
Many thanks Ammar.
Would recommend.

I pulled my back, this made me unable to walk without crutches, I couldn't even stand up straight at all, after just 1 session and a few days of rest and doing exercises that Ammar told me to do, I was walking straight.
Then a few more sessions with Ammar I'm back to my normal self.
Ammar also gave me exercises for me to do, as I'm recovering from a broken leg,
No charge, thats what type of guy he is, thank you my friend.
With the Copa Therapy it helped me recovery properly, the deep massage to my lower back definitely beneficial after a couple of days rest.

As a full time dentist, I started to experience posture related pain in my neck and back very early on in my career. Within a few years, the pain became quite extreme, and was accompanied by debilitating migraines. Often I would arrive home from work and the pain was so severe, I would have to go and lie down straightaway to try and let it ease.
I could no longer drive long distances as my neck would hurt, and invariably I would get a migraine. This began to affect my career as quite often I would travel to other parts of the country for courses and lectures, but I found myself hesitant to book

I've been to see Ammar about 5 times for half hour sessions. He took the time to listen to the background of my issue and consider what might have been causing it. He spends a good amount of time working the area during our sessions and I have seen a fairly significant improvement. I should note that my pain was not overbearing from the outset but has reduced significantly.
Ammar has always been kind and professional. He stresses the importance of stretching in order to keep muscular issues at bay (i.e. prevention better than the cure).

My husband was suffering with back and leg pain for years after he had a slipped disc in 2017.. he had been constantly on strong addictive pain medication and suffering on a daily basis. We found this clinic and it has definitely made such a positive difference for him. He is now completely off all pain medications and is managing his pain much better through regular appointments with his physician Ammar. He has given my husband such a needed source of support both through the physical help but also mental support in dealing with his pain. Can’t recommend him enough! My husband doesn’t complain
