What If Pain Didn’t Define Your Story?
We understand how pain can seep into every part of your life—interrupting sleep, stealing joy from simple movements, and making you question if things will ever feel normal again. It’s not just about the discomfort; it’s about the freedom you’ve lost and the worry that this might be your new reality.
At Balanced Bodies, you’re not just a body to fix; you’re a person with goals, frustrations, and a story worth listening to. That’s why we put you in the driver’s seat, creating a clear, tailored plan to help you move past pain and rediscover confidence in what your body can do.
But pain doesn’t have to define your story. Whether it’s a persistent ache, an old injury, or a recent setback, there’s a way forward. Discover how we can help you regain control and move toward recovery. Click below to explore how we address specific pain issues and help you take the first step toward living fully again.

What Does Recovery Look Like for You?
Recovery starts with understanding. It’s about feeling truly heard, having your concerns taken seriously, and knowing there’s a way forward. That’s why it begins with a free consultation—your chance to ask questions, share your struggles, and decide what’s right for you without any pressure.
From your very first appointment:
- Your story takes centre stage. Whether it’s the pain that keeps you awake at night or the frustration of not being able to enjoy the things you love, every detail matters.
- There’s a plan, just for you. Every assessment, every treatment, and every exercise is built around your goals and what works for your body.
- Relief is within reach. If pain is holding you back, hands-on techniques can bring comfort while setting you on the path to recovery.
- No guesswork, no overwhelm. You’ll leave with a plan you understand completely, plus everything you need to feel confident about what comes next.
Getting Back to What Matters
Recovery isn’t just about easing pain—it’s about reclaiming the life you’ve been missing. This is about giving you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to keep moving forward. Follow-ups happen when they’re needed, and every step is designed to get you back to full independence.
Imagine waking up without second-guessing your body, tackling your day without hesitation, and knowing how to keep injuries at bay. This is your journey—tailored to you, at your pace, with the freedom to focus on what really matters.

What people thought of our work
A Solution from Long Term Lower Back Pain
I've suffered with lower back pain and inflexibility for around two decades. I previously tried several therapies including physiotherapy, chiropractic medicine, standard pilates classes, and bespoke gym training routines. None were as effective as the rehab and clinical pilates offered by Joanna. She really tailors her approach according to your particular needs, and offers continuous ongoing support and informed advice. Very highly recommended.

Empathetic, Knowledgeable Approach
Joanna is both extremely knowledgeable and Empathetic. She has been supporting me along my rehab journey and I wish I’d been to see her sooner

Peri-Menopausal Recovery with Pain
Joanna provides a refreshingly holistic approach to her therapy. I can’t recommend her enough. I started seeing her because I had developed ankle pain related to problems with my opposite knee. Treatment is ongoing, but it has involved individual consultations as well as group sessions which keep cost down with homework to complete between appointments. Joanna is really interested in progress and has provided a lot of support and care since I have met her. I have been seeing her for 3 months and have seen a lot of progress- I’m menopausal so body recovery is not the fastest anymore but I’m pleased with the progress. The reason I started seeing her was because I was exasperated by ongoing injuries and complications when I tried to increase my exercise regimen. I am delighted with the progress I have made.

FAQs
I don't have an injury but something doesn't feel right - can you help?
Definitely! We love to help people before they get injured, because if we can save you experiencing pain and injury, for us the world is a better place!
If you want to share your story, then we are here to listen – no commitment at all, just the chance to find out how we might be able to help you!
Will it hurt?
We try to do everything possible to make things stop hurting for you. However sometimes, pain is unavoidable when you are in acute pain.
So we make a promise to every client: we explain what we want to do, show you what we want to, demonstrate it on the good side (if there is a good side) so that you are fully informed and consenting each and every time!
Are you a Masseuse, Physiotherapist, Chiropractor or Osteopath?
Definitely not!
Joanna is a Graduate Sports Therapist by education.
BUT we are all Rehabilitation Therapists! We all access the same sort of tools, techniques and tests to assess and then treat our patients. We are just different flavours on a very broad spectrum.
Ultimately, your decision should be based on your goals, objectives and communication style / preferences. You need a cheerleader shouting about your success at every stage!
Is there a quick fix for my back / neck / hip / shoulder pain?
We can use treatments like massage and manual therapy to access your body’s own amazing pain killing systems, but we aren’t going to lie to you: Full recovery takes commitment and hard work on your behalf.
It often takes months and years for someone to descend into injury, so it takes time to unpick the issues and strengthen to correct.
We will be there every step of the way and we won’t bring you in for unnecessary treatments or keep you coming back for more than you need.
Our goal is to rehab you once, do it right and send you on your way!
I can't afford 1:2:1 work - how else can you help?
We appreciate that not everyone has spare funds aside for this sort of support but please do get in touch and have a chat.
We will do everything we can to help you out, whatever your budget.
