I went to Esther and she was so informative and took the time to explain everything to me. She was kind, caring and compassionate towards me and I felt she understood my needs. She listened and made me feel at ease. She has followed up with everything in writing after my appointment which has helped me to complete the exercises. Esther's location is easy to get to and in a lovely relaxing environment.Posted on Google![]()

Esther is knowledgeable, patient, and caring. She took the time to understand all the physical ailments I’ve had in the past, not just the one that was currently causing pain. Esther understands that our body is interconnected and works to address overall health; something I wish more healthcare professionals would do. Thanks to Esther, I’ve been pain free and feel stronger overall. As an aside, it’s amazing that Esther does home visits. I’ve had issues with my back in the past that have made it painful to walk and, in turn, unable to go to the physio at the start of my back muscle spasms. It’s great to know that I now have the option to get started on my physio sooner when/if my back spasms again.Posted on Google![]()

Esther is the most amazing physio I’ve ever used! I had a trapped nerve in my neck and could hardly move, but she worked it, gave me exercises and even more importantly she told me how to correct my posture so that the problem wouldn’t happen again. I’d highly recommend her - she’s professional, so knowledgable, and is also really lovely and put me at ease. Thank you!Posted on Google![]()

I can't recommend Esther highly enough. I saw her when I was in a lot of pain with a suspected fracture and ankle sprain. She was incredibly kind and caring, but what really stood out was her expertise and professionalism. I felt in very safe hands throughout. Thank you, Esther!

30-Minute Massage – A focused treatment targeting specific areas of tension, pain, or discomfort. Ideal for those needing relief from muscle tightness, stress, or minor aches in a particular area, such as the neck, shoulders, or lower back. A great option for a quick yet effective reset.

This comprehensive pelvic health appointment is designed for women experiencing a range of concerns, including pelvic floor weakness, diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation often occurring after pregnancy), back pain, and hip pain. We’ll assess your posture, breathing patterns, core strength, and movement mechanics, often using external techniques. Depending on your specific needs and symptoms, an internal examination may be beneficial for a more thorough evaluation. We’ll discuss this possibility with you, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Together, we’ll create a personalised plan involving exercises, manual therapy, and lifestyle advice to improve your function, reduce pain, and enhance your overall well-being.

We understand that some pain conditions are complex and require a more in-depth approach. To ensure we can thoroughly assess your needs and provide the best possible care, we recommend booking a complex initial consultation if you have multiple areas of pain, or if your pain has been longstanding or has a complex history. This will allow us to listen carefully and understand your unique situation. While a standard initial consultation may be sufficient for some, a complex consultation helps us avoid needing a second appointment and ensures we can address all your concerns from the start.
