AI Review Summary
This summary was created by AI based on recent reviews
Mrs Kerri Holden shows professional and knowledgeable care for her patients. She provides clear diagnoses and tailored treatment plans. Patients receive personalised exercises and digital copies for self-management and rehabilitation. Her care is frequently sought for lower back pain, shoulder pain, and general pain management.
Kerri has been able to provide a detailed diagnosis of what is going on with specific weaknesses in my body and how that is causing some issues, in particular hip flexor soreness. My programme is then tailored to these issues. I think this level of knowledge is going to really benefit me. Very much more than just one to one pilates. A wider review and understanding of the challenges.
This was my first visit to Kerri. She was very warm, friendly and professional. She asked insightful questions and listened to what I needed. The treatment was exactly what I was looking for and has made a very positive difference. Having exercises to take away has been immensely helpful as it’s given me a constructive way to help myself. It’s also made me more likely to return because I feel the intention is genuinely to do what will help me most. I’ve really appreciated Kerri’s approach.
Thank you so much for such a generous review — it means a lot. Sending people away with something practical to work on isn't an afterthought, it's a deliberate part of how I work, because what happens between appointments matters as much as what happens in the room. And you're right about the intention — working out what will actually help most is the whole job. Thank you for taking the time to write this. Kerri
Kerri is a wonderful practioner. She is really up with the most recent research and understanding. I found her very reassuring and skilled in her approach. And her touch is lovely!
Thank you so much for this thoughtful review — that's very kind. Keeping up with current research is something I genuinely enjoy rather than a box to tick, so it means a lot that it came across. And I'm really glad the sessions felt reassuring — that matters to me as much as anything else we do. Thank you for taking the time to share this. Kerri
Very happy with my visit which was handled very professionally
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. I always try to make sure a visit feels professional but also personal — taking the time to explain things clearly and put you at ease along the way. Really glad that came through, and I appreciate you taking the time to share this. Kerri
Travelling from overseas, desperate to see someone. Very accomodating to fit me in, excellent service and very thorough. Would highly recommend Kerri’s services.
Thank you so much — I'm really glad we could fit you in and put your mind at ease while you were here from overseas. It's always a priority to make sure people can be seen quickly when they need it, and I'm so pleased the visit felt thorough and reassuring. Thank you for recommending my services, it's greatly appreciated. Kerri
Kerri has been an amazing support with Costochondritis and has improved my daily quality of life. Always aware of where pain is and caring throughout. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this — it's really kind of you to take the time. Staying attentive to how things change from session to session, and adapting as we go, matters a lot to me, so I'm glad that came through. Kerri
great and relaxing and feel great after the treatment. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much — I'm really glad you left feeling both relaxed and easier. I always try to pair treatment with a clear picture of what's going on, so it's not just about feeling good in the moment but understanding how to keep feeling that way. Really appreciate you taking the time to say so. Kerri
I have already written this. Please let me know if it didn’t register
Thank you for checking — it's come through, and it's much appreciated. I ask for feedback both after a first visit and again at the end, because I'm interested in how the whole experience feels rather than just first impressions. Do let me know if there's anything you'd like to add. Kerri
Kerri is so knowledgeable and methodical in her approach. I felt very reassured by her expertise and I look forward to seeing her again soon.
Thank you so much for this lovely feedback. A methodical, step-by-step approach matters to me — it means you always know why we're doing something and how it fits into the bigger picture, rather than being asked to just trust the process. Looking forward to seeing you again soon. Kerri
I've visited Kerri in her role as an osteopath (helped manage all the knock-on effects from my shoulder injury) and in her role as a Pilates teacher. I trust her experience and professional abilities in both these roles, providing very good advice and guidance, and for Pilates, making it fun and rewarding!
Thank you for such a generous review — it means a lot. I love being able to combine osteopathy with Pilates, because treatment doesn't stop at the table — it carries through into how you move day to day, which is where real, lasting confidence in your body comes from. So glad you're enjoying that combination, in the clinic and on the mat. Kerri
