Testimonials

I first contacted Kim after being recommended by my physio, about a problem which was a bit tricky. I have MS and have been injecting into one or two spots for 12 year& Very lumpy scar tissue with associated pain is the result.

I asked Kim if she could help - Ive never been faced with that condition before, but lets just take a look and see what can be done. She approached the problem with logic and a can-do attitude. While absolutely improving my injection sites with virtually no residual pain, she discovered leg muscle wastage as a result of my cleverly adapting a new style of walking to avoid fatigue. Kim has adapted exercises for me which are all manageable and resulting in the beginnings of muscle rebuilding.

Kim has a wonderful way of seeing the problem and pragmatically devising the best therapeutic massage treatment. She is dedicated, very cheerful (well she is American) and gives me great confidence that together we can work towards my becoming a stronger, healthier person before too long.

When I go on holiday and miss appointments, my body and I really miss Kim."

"I first went to see Kim on the recommendation of a friend when I was training for my first marathon a couple of years ago. I had been suffering from pain in my left knee which was becoming steadily worse and, with only a few weeks to the race and barely able to walk, I was getting desperate.

Kim managed to see me at very short notice and, despite my very vague explanation of where my knee pain was, quickly identified that it was due to a tight ITB and weak VMO. She told me that she could help me but was also honest about what it would involve. After an intensive hour of working solely on my left ITB, I could still barely walk, but I left armed with stretches and strengthening exercises together with Kims assurance that things would improve.

After another session with Kim a few days later, I was able to run again and, with regular visits up until the marathon, together with a fierce devotion to stretching, finished the race over five minutes faster than my target time without any pain whatsoever.

Until I found Kim, I had seen several massage therapists, none of whom gave me much confidence in their abilities. I have been very impressed by Kims passion for her profession and her knowledge of the human body, how it works and, most importantly, how to make it work. As a keen athlete herself, she is also able to appreciate peoples individual sporting goals and to help them achieve them.

I now see Kim about once a month, or more regularly if I am training for something specific and, although Im not as dedicated to my stretching as I once was, Kim still manages to keep me running."
