Client Testimonials
Denise has helped me so much: all the more impressive since I had continued to have some problems even after seeing other physios. She really listens and approached my particular issues with a great deal of thought in order to work out exactly what was needed – which, I have discovered, is not always the case. I am extremely grateful to her and would highly recommend her for even the most difficult of cases.

As a multisport/endurance athlete your body is placed under a huge amount of different stresses and demands, and so injury prevention and treatment is a major aspect of day to day management. It is a running joke amongst my friends how injury prone I am, and Denise has been an absolute life saver in keeping me fit and competition ready. I’ve been competing in a variety of disciplines for over ten years and have seen more sports injury therapists than I can remember, and Denise is in a different league to all others! Through regular massage, new core and stabilisation exercises that she has added to my training and specific injury treatment and rehabilitation, I’ve been able to train harder and been more successful than ever.
Denise’s holistic and in depth understanding of the body is incredible and she has often identified issues which I wasn’t even aware of just by touch, enabling us to adapt my training before they became full blown injuries. Her experience in a wide range of sports is unparalleled – she has kept me on the road for marathons, helped ease recurring rib fractures and disc problems sustained through rowing, helped me take seconds off my swim times and got me back into the gym after bike crashes and riding accidents, to mention just a few.
Her personal experience as a rider has also been an incredible asset – she has come to watch me ride and seen things my instructor hasn’t which have enabled me to make great improvements, both in terms of enhancing my riding and my horses way of going. Denise is a great listener, as well as an incredibly approachable and professional therapist who is deeply committed to all the athletes she treats. I could not achieve half of what I do without her!
I had been experiencing terrible neck and shoulder pain for a number of months which eventually resulted in chronic pain/daily muscle spasm and having to take two lots of pain killers four times a day just to get by with the pain.
I found Denise’s details online and booked in a consultation. In the space of a few weeks and two consultations my pain level was 1/10 and I was off of the pain killers.
Like lots of people working from home I had developed issues as a result of poor posture. Thanks to Denise’s treatment and great advice I am back in a position that I can now work on a rehabilitation and core strengthening exercise programme to ensure this does not occur in the future.
My advice is that a little prevention is better than a cure so if you have any niggles get them dealt with by Denise early and avoid a ‘crisis’ later!
Denise has been an absolute lifesaver!
