What people think of our support
Back Operation Recovery
Following a back operation last year, I was still experiencing some ongoing issues so I referred myself to Joanna in the hope that she would be able to help me. I have to say she has been amazing. Not only am I attending her classes, but she has given me so much individual support throughout the whole time since I had my first 121. I would have no qualms in recommending Joanna to anyone be it for mobility, strengthening or injury, she shows a real empathy with her clients and always goes the extra mile. By way of example, following a treatment I was struggling, she talked me through exercises I can use to ensure I don't suffer from the same issue moving forward, she also checked up on me throughout that weekend just to make sure I was improving, that shows real dedication to the wellbeing of her clients. She is truly amazing at her job and as a person and I can't thank her enough for the help she has given and continues to give me.

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.

Recovery From Back Pain
I started seeing Joanna when my back went during lockdown, for virtual 1-1's and her online Pilates classes. Her friendly approach, detailed knowledge and focus on finding the best ways to support my own recovery journey really helped get me from hardly being able to move to now moving freely and back to normal. I would highly recommend Joanna's services.

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 for 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: Proper injury rehabilitation 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, what ever your budget.
