Remedial Therapy Client Testimonials
I was suffering very badly from Sciatica but Denise was able to alleviate a lot of that pain and discomfort. Denise has great knowledge about how the body works and I’m so glad I found her. I would certainly recommend her and I will definitely call upon her services again. Thanks Denise, for today I can walk properly for a change.
Denise’s sports massage treatments helped my training for a rowing marathon. Because Denise was able to release knots and tension in my muscles and give me exercises to strengthen my core, I was able to train much harder without suffering an injury. In my rowing marathon I attained a personal best time and finished as second fastest female sculler. A few weeks later I completed a hat trick of wins at Wallingford Long Distance Sculls, Weybridge Silver Sculls and Marlow Long Distance Sculls, establishing a new course record for the women’s veteran B event at Wallingford.
The pinnacle of my racing season came at the international endurance regatta in Turin, where I achieved a bronze medal in the women’s masters B event at the Trofeo Silver Skiff.
Denise has worked wonders to manage my back and neck pain which I have suffered from for years. I started seeing Denise after years of unsuccessful chiropractic treatment. After the first appointment it was quickly identified that the cause of my pain was from soft tissue and muscles damage rather than my skeleton. Due to a physical job I now see Denise on a regular basis to keep me moving freely and without pain. I have recommended Denise to many friends and they have all been successfully treated for their aches and pains.
