Would not have continued skiing without your treatments

Dear Denise

It’s Joel Howley the water skier, I have recently returned home to Australia so I thought I would write you message.

Despite coming to you with a rib injury that had been getting progressively worse for 12 months you managed to get me back on the water in just two weeks!!

I returned to the USA to continue with the Pro Tour and broke the Australian record for slalom Waterskiing at my very next tournament.

None of the medical professionals I saw in the USA could relieve my pain and you fixed me in two weeks. I would not have continued skiing without your treatments.

Thank you, thank you, thank you… I have now signed with Connelly Waterskis and I am begging my career as a professional waterskier injury free.

Thanks again…

By far the best therapist in Oxford

I have been having sports massages with Denise for almost 7 years. She is by far the best therapist in Oxford. Denise’s extensive knowledge and experience combined with the variety of treatments she can offer make her a therapist who has successfully treated many of my injuries over the years. As a client of Denise’s, I also appreciate her supportive, caring and kind approach. Knowing Denise has my best interests at heart is an important part of trusting in her as a therapist.

I have greatly benefited from Denise’s ability to apply the technique she believes appropriate when treating my occasional shoulder pain as well as a long-standing issue I have had with my ankles.

Denise instinctively knows how much pressure to apply to my body and never leaves my body sore, which is very important to allow me to return to my triathlon training.

As a Personal Trainer, I have no hesitation recommending Denise to my clients as I believe she has the knowledge, experience and personality to make my clients feel very comfortable.

In 2016 during the build up to the Triathlon World Championships I saw Denise regularly, almost weekly so she could help me to prevent any niggles becoming injuries and to keep my body moving well during a period of hard training. A large part of successfully getting to the start line without any issues was having Denise as part of my therapy team and I feel extremely grateful and thankful to be able to have treatments with her.

Complete Trust

Denise has been treating me for a number of years both as an athlete and now as an international weightlifter. Denise’s approach to sports therapy is holistic, thorough and methodical. She has got to know me as a sportsman and exactly how my bodies physiology works within the context of weightlifting, both competitions and training.

Denise is a sports therapist who I have complete trust in to ensure that my musculoskeletal system is able to perform at its highest level when called upon. Next year, the aim is to win the British Masters 85kg weightlifting title and then to medal at the European Weightlifting Masters in Budapest (June) and then the World Weightlifting Masters in Barcelona (August).

Denise is absolutely, crucial, to any future weightlifting successes and her regular input into my training program, injury prevention and physical wellbeing is imperative, short, medium and long term. Denise keeps completely up to date with any advances in current practices and as such, always provides me with the highest quality treatment.

Brilliant!

I came to Denise in a lot of pain with damaged tendons in my wrist. Denise takes a holistic approach so she doesn’t just work on the area of pain but looks at your whole alignment. I felt a marked improvement after my first session. Denise has a natural talent and I would recommend her to anyone. She has also helped my 15 year old stepson with sporting injuries from American football. Such a lovely lady and just brilliant at what she does.

Highly Recommend

I have had back problems all my adult life since age 18. Now age 56 and have a degenerative scoliosis and had a recent spinal fusion. I have seen many many therapists over the years including chiropractors, acupuncturists, physios, osteopaths etc etc and Denise is the best. She is innovative, confidence-building, sensitive, but above all, is a superb soft-tissue therapist. Cannot recommend her highly enough.

Highly Recommend

I have been to a number of therapists and medical professionals of various backgrounds and qualifications, but Denise is the only one who consistently resolves my occasional wonkiness and tight back problems. I highly recommend her!

Annette Andresen

Enjoyable and Highly Recommend

Denise has helped me manage my pain for a very long time. Her knowledge, compassion and frank nature have made the treatments enjoyable as well as therapeutic. I highly recommend her and look forward to continued treatments in the near future.

Highly Recommend

I suffer from severe tennis elbow from time to time, and rather than see the doctor for steroid injections like I had done in the past, this time I went to see Denise. Denise used a combination of massage, acupunture and kinetic tape and I was amazed at the results. Would highly recommend.

Highly Recommend

I go to Denise for all my aches and pains, more from an equestrian perspective and wouldn’t use anyone else. She is thorough and is honest if she thinks I do need to come back to have more work done. Lovely lady, who takes her time making sure you walk out feeling better!

Zoe Allen

Fantastic Therapist

Dee is a fantastic therapist! I’ve worked closely with her over my career in international sport for many years. I highly recommend her to all levels of athlete from community to elite!
