The philosophy

Assessment before assumptions.

The details make the difference.

Your symptoms, clinical history, physical demands and goals all contribute to the assessment. Those findings guide the treatment and rehabilitation approach, rather than relying on the same intervention for everyone.

Client experiences.

Expertise & reassurance

Dee is a brilliant therapist. Very knowledgable and highly skilled. She is empathetic towards clients coming to her in pain. I felt so much better after our session physically and mentally. Dee made me feel confident about my own training. Highly recommend her for muscle related injuries!

Sam, London

Personal attention

My partner recommended Dee, after working with her for his Achilles. I’ve had a number of sessions either Dee this year and I couldn’t recommend her more - She’s super friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I’ve left every session learning something new about my muscles, sleeping position and so much more.

Shahida, London

Rehabilitation & confidence

I walked out of her studio floating on air. I informed Dee about my left knee issues doing lunges. Dee took me into the gym & began to work on my function and mobility. A few weeks have gone by. My squats are deeper more stable. I'm using the leg extension machine with weights. Whereas before I was in absolute agony & my dominant leg would take over. Do yourself a favour book a session with Dee you'll not look back. She is an absolute gem

Trevor, London

Recovery & relief

I suffer from sciatica and disc bulge, and I was lucky to be referred to Dee. The first session was magic, she made my pain 90% disappear, so I wanted an extra session with her because I was in London only for a holiday and I wanted to get more therapy and she is better than most physiotherapists that I spent thousands and didn’t get a satisfactory result.

Amna, UAE

Training support

My trainer recommended I see Dee to help me deal with all of my post workout aches and pains. Dee has been fantastic and has really helped me train harder.

Catherine, London

Professional perspective

As a manual therapist myself I am quite fussy about who treats me. However, I know I can count on Dee anytime my body needs restoration or I am dealing with a niggle.
