Sophie is great. A very thorough session with some excellent treatment instructions. Plus brilliant conversation and swapping of stories and ideas! 

Perfect. Serendipitous and I'm so grateful for all Sophie did and the start of the journey. 

This was my third appointment with Sophie and not only is she an absolute delight to be with, she's helping me to feel better! After years of trying different therapies to manage chronic neck and back pain, I feel like I've finally found my person, who in just a few sessions, has unpicked what's going on and treated me successfully, with a variety of techniques, tape and homework! Every now and again you meet someone who is a little bit special, with extra skills and a reall passion for what they do and Sophie is that person.... highly recommended!

As always, incredibly informative and gives guidance on injury prevention. Physical treatment precise and fixes problems to allow me to push on.

Great. All mechanics issues sorted. Very knowledgable and great maintenance advice.
