My first time visiting an osteopath for an ongoing hip issue. Kerri has been absolutely brilliant - very professional and friendly. She puts you at your ease and diagnosed and knew exactly what was required to 'mend' the issue. I've since signed up to attend her Pilates classes. Fully recommended.
Very helpful exercises. So pleased that Kerri had directed me to a plan that had been exactly what I needed
100% recommend. Kerri saw me the same day I contacted her because my back had seized up and I was in a lot of pain and discomfort. After the initial phone call where she was warm, friendly and reassuring - I thought I might have done something seriously bad - I went to her clinic that day, which is a calm, relaxed professional space. We spoke to start with to get a sense of my overall health and then did checks on my mobility and injury, Kerri tested to see if I needed cold or heat therapy, then she did assisted stretches and massage to help loosen my back muscles and designed a recovery exercise plan for me. Kerri is thorough, caring and incredibly knowledgeable. This week I lifted my first dead weight!
Kerri has helped me build confidence back in my body following spinal surgery. Her expertise, attention to detail and thoughtfulness is excellent.
The Pilates class is very interesting and different every week. They're not boring, well-led, and informative. Kerri is very good at explaining how to do stuff, and she gives you different levels so you can do what suits you and your body during the class, which makes it very inclusive.
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.
Thank you — that's a generous thing to write. Working out what's actually driving something, rather than treating the spot that hurts, is the part I care most about getting right, and it's why the programme ends up different for each person. Do keep telling me how you're finding it as we go. Kerri
