Remedial Therapy Testimonials

I contacted Denise on recommendation from a music professional.  I had suffered a shoulder injury and this was affecting my work as a professional guitarist.  I contacted Denise and booked in for treatment.  Denise met me in a lovely treatment environment.  She was a complete professional and made me feel totally at ease on my first session.  Her knowledge of anatomy is second to none and within moments she had found out my arm pain radiated from, in fact, my shoulder.  Denise was able work on it in a holistic manner by aligning my whole frame – this made sense.  Her movements were confident and she found areas of tension I didn’t know I had with almost a 6th sense.  This was my first of many treatments, I will be going back for more for sure. Denise is a warm kind person with an innate sense for her craft.  Her qualifications are exemplary but this isn’t just why she’s an excellent practitioner. She’s a natural at detecting and treating injuries that are not visibly obvious until she finds the root causes.  I would recommend her skill set to anyone looking for therapy and well-being.  She is a body master and she excels at her craft -book with confidence that you are receiving a top-class professional treatment from a first-class practitioner.

Suffering from arthritic knees, twisted ankles, a dislocated & broken thumb, hockey & cycling injuries…as well as wear & tear from other sports & poor posture from sitting in an office… Denise has always found ways to help my rehab & improve my body mechanics. I can’t thank her enough for helping me over the last 7+ years

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.

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!

She’s fixed my various sporting injuries over the years and understands body mechanics so well to provide holistic treatment.

Denise is by far one of the most professional and knowledgeable Sports Therapist I have known. If you book in to see her I can guarantee you will not be disappointed as her assessment and treatment protocols are first class.

Denise has the amazing ability to help people where others can’t. She treats what she finds intuitively and this process works exceptionally well for all of her patients as everybody improves, not just physically but psychologically and emotionally as well because she is very empathetic as well as a great listener. If you are struggling to find a therapist then please get in contact with Denise as I guarantee you will not be disappointed as she is a true professional.

I am an Osteopath and I often refer my own patients to Denise before they have a consultation with myself as she basically decides if I actually need to get involved in the process and most of the time my skills are not required because she has basically fixed them.

Denise has trained for many years and is qualified in a variety of disciplines of Sports therapy and Remedial Massage therapy so she is very experienced and a knowledgable practitioner.

Denise is truly unparalleled! She combines such a wide range of expert techniques and a deep understanding of the body and how it functions as a whole. In addition, her interest in you as a person and her gift in identifying the real root of problems (even ones you didn’t realise you had) make her seemingly miraculous in her abilities to remedy, strengthen and optimise your performance.

Dancing requires your body to be strong, powerful as well as limber, perfectly balanced and graceful. As a female ballroom dancer, we are required to create huge curves and shapes with our body, which sometimes looks like we are bending over backwards, while dancing backwards and spinning at high speed in — all in 3″ heels!

This puts huge and dangerous strains on the body if done incorrectly. In addition, learning to do all this correctly takes years of training — most dancers start aged 6 so their bodies are conditioned correctly during development. I started age 21, and Denise’s magic has helped to free my muscles so that I can learn to co-ordinate my body naturally from the start and prevent dangerous injuries. She has helped both me and my partner work at our full potential (and even improved his posture so he looks about 15kg lighter!) which has resulted in us achieving a huge amount in a very short space of time.

I first went to Denise for a sports massage as a one off with some general aches and pains – hoping to get some relief when my body was feeling really run down before a competition. That weekend, I dropped 2 seconds off my PB and since then have been going before every race.

Denise understands my body better than I do myself; often I come in with one part of my body in pain and she realizes that the cause is somewhere else I hadn’t even noticed. Denise allowed me to get the most out of my body, to be healthy and pain free.

When the swimming season was over and I was busy revising for my Exams, I started to get really bad headaches so i went to the Doctors and they said it was stress related, but something in my neck just didn’t feel right. I went to Denise for a session and she worked out it was all coming from my poor posture at my desk. Following a few sessions I was completely cured and able to work at my best.

Denise is professional and extremely knowledgeable in everything she does. Her full massage is by far the most relaxing massage I’ve had and travelling around the world I have tried a few. She knows exactly how to treat your ailments and does a fantastic job if you have any aches and pains. Denise is very approachable and discusses any issues you may have and treats you as an individual explaining exactly how she will treat you as you go on.

Doing a multi-disciplined sport your body is put under a great many physical demands, from impact sports to explosive movement, and in the running domain especially, I had numerous injuries and constant niggles.

Whilst at Oxford, Denise helped me to maintain a hard training regime through remedial sports massage, flexibility help and rehab exercise. During my final year at Oxford, Denise allowed me to maintain a higher level and intensity of run training than I had done in previous years at Oxford, and thus in the summer I ran ‘personal bests’. I was able to stay injury free and found the flexibility and core exercises a great help as I was able to train harder and longer, and this was a direct result of the therapy and advice I received from Denise
