Let us help you find your own balance…
It started out as a need to simplify the rehabilitation process and ended up growing into a dream to help others going through the same journey to recover from injury.
Balanced Bodies aims to educate, empower and enable people on their injury prevention and injury rehabilitation journey
When you have pain or an injury it’s normal to feel worried about what is going on and why it happened. It can be nerve wracking to turn up to a clinic not knowing who is going to be treating you, how they work and what they will be doing to you. After all, who doesn’t want the pain to go away in the easiest, most painless way possible?
At Balanced Bodies we understand the injury journey from our client’s perspective because we’ve been there ourselves. We want to make sure that you have an easy time of recovering from your injury.
How we work
We start by offering you a virtual free 20 minute consult to help you share some details on your issue, find out more about how we work and most importantly make sure that we are the right therapists to support your recovery.
In your first appointment we will often use our hands to move your body in therapeutic ways to reduce or remove pain: Through mobilisations, massage and special stretching techniques.
It is very important to us that our clients feel safe, comfortable and confident with their therapist, so we are careful to listen out for any discomfort whilst we do everything possible to make you feel at ease.
For those wanting a longer term, sustainable solution we create bespoke rehab programmes to help you restore full range of movement and strengthen up the injured tissues.
Who we help
Whether you have a young person (10 yrs plus) needing support, are menopausal, have a sports injury or have an everyday injury: There’s something for everyone at Balanced Bodies Sport.
We are not a Physiotherapist, Osteopath or Chiropractor: we are proud to be Graduate Sports Therapists and are equally well equipped to support your recovery!
Don’t take our word for it, here’s what our client’s say.
Event Support
We’re not just a one trick pony! Did you know we also do event work? We’re regularly found supporting rugby clubs, football matches, marathons and beyond! You can find out more about our event work options here.
Corporate Wellbeing Support
If you are trying to find ways to innovate your employee wellbeing programme then look no further than Balanced Bodies for a bespoke solution!
Exercise Classes
Then there’s our exercise classes. We have a mix of clients involved here: Ones that need a little help for motivation or structure as part of their rehab programme, others who like having a friendly exercise class each week and those who love the convenience of virtual classes delivered straight to their living room with the support of a knowledge instructor.
Injury Rehab
We feel that no one should have to live with aches, pains or injuries.
We know that everyone deserves to be centre stage in getting the help they need. We believe that each and every person has the right to do their favourite hobbies, sports and jobs with confidence and pain (or ache) free!

What people are saying
Marathon Runner’s Knee Injury
Friendly atmosphere. Prompt attention. Joanna was very thorough and detailed in her observations. I was confident in her professionalism as a sports injury specialist. Her exercises were achievable and suggestions for further self help treatment, very helpful. I would not hesitate to recommend her to my running friends!! Thank you Joanna. I may well need to call on you again to succeed in running my first marathon!

Flautist with thumb pain
I highly recommend Joanna for any kind of joint pain. As a flautist I was struggling with a really painful thumb. The doctor said it was arthritis. Joanna worked with me to put some exercises together and 12 weeks later I have done a full week of 8am-5pm playing without any pain!

Neck Pain
I was recommended to see Joanna after I injured my neck and I’m so glad I was. Joanna is very knowledgeable and explains things so well. She was very welcoming, caring and thoughtful throughout. After just one session I walked away already starting to feel the difference. I would give Joanna a 10 star rating! I cannot recommend her enough and would definitely use her again

Do you like our photos?
As we are a big believer in collaboration we wanted to showcase the work of local photographer Mark Hankins of Mark Hankins Photography. Whilst there are some stock photos scattered around the website, we are very proud of the pictures that Mark has crafted for the clinic – Some of which, we are sure you will agree, are works of art!
