Client Testimonials
I have been having sports massages with Denise for almost 7 years. She is by far the best therapist in Oxford. Denise’s extensive knowledge and experience combined with the variety of treatments she can offer make her a therapist who has successfully treated many of my injuries over the years. As a client of Denise’s, I also appreciate her supportive, caring and kind approach. Knowing Denise has my best interests at heart is an important part of trusting in her as a therapist.
I have greatly benefited from Denise’s ability to apply the technique she believes appropriate when treating my occasional shoulder pain as well as a long-standing issue I have had with my ankles.
Denise instinctively knows how much pressure to apply to my body and never leaves my body sore, which is very important to allow me to return to my triathlon training.
As a Personal Trainer, I have no hesitation recommending Denise to my clients as I believe she has the knowledge, experience and personality to make my clients feel very comfortable.
In 2016 during the build up to the Triathlon World Championships I saw Denise regularly, almost weekly so she could help me to prevent any niggles becoming injuries and to keep my body moving well during a period of hard training. A large part of successfully getting to the start line without any issues was having Denise as part of my therapy team and I feel extremely grateful and thankful to be able to have treatments with her.
Denise is truly unparalleled! She combines such a wide range of expert techniques and a deep understanding of the body and how it functions as a whole. In addition, her interest in you as a person and her gift in identifying the real root of problems (even ones you didn’t realise you had) make her seemingly miraculous in her abilities to remedy, strengthen and optimise your performance.
Dancing requires your body to be strong, powerful as well as limber, perfectly balanced and graceful. As a female ballroom dancer, we are required to create huge curves and shapes with our body, which sometimes looks like we are bending over backwards, while dancing backwards and spinning at high speed in — all in 3″ heels!
This puts huge and dangerous strains on the body if done incorrectly. In addition, learning to do all this correctly takes years of training — most dancers start aged 6 so their bodies are conditioned correctly during development. I started age 21, and Denise’s magic has helped to free my muscles so that I can learn to co-ordinate my body naturally from the start and prevent dangerous injuries. She has helped both me and my partner work at our full potential (and even improved his posture so he looks about 15kg lighter!) which has resulted in us achieving a huge amount in a very short space of time.
Suffering from arthritic knees, twisted ankles, a dislocated & broken thumb, hockey & cycling injuries…as well as wear & tear from other sports & poor posture from sitting in an office… Denise has always found ways to help my rehab & improve my body mechanics. I can’t thank her enough for helping me over the last 7+ years
