Testimonials

I have known Janet for a number of years as a physiotherapist and Pilates teacher. Janet is caring and reliable. Above all, Janet has a wide experience of working with patients.

She is very understanding of the many aspects of managing pain, especially chronic pain as in the case of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Her experience and knowledge of physiotherapy is profound and she uses this to work with the patient to develop a personal programme of exercises to help alleviate pain in the body.

Janet also supports the patient, through dialogue, to develop their own coping strategies. In all aspects of her work, Janet is professional and dedicated in the care which she provides to her patients. After a physio session I always feel that her helpful, encouraging and thoughtful manner has left me feeling more optimistic about my health and ability to live with ongoing pain.

Thank you for the care, empathy and professionalism and you have shown me over the years on what, at times, has been a difficult health journey. It has always been appreciated and gratefully received.

I have been attending Physiotherapy sessions with Janet for over 4 years following a spinal injection for stenosis of the lower back. Janet’s expertise and patience have continued to reduce my leg and back pain beyond that achieved by the injection (which was very successful in its own right), and increased the flexibility of my back. I can even continue to play cricket with little, if any, back discomfort!

An important and helpful part of Janet’s therapy revolves around the psychology & physiology of pain and how to manage it. Having a positive mindset about pain – what it is, what causes it, how the brain interprets the signals – really helps in your understanding of what pain is telling you about your body. In turn, this gives you the confidence to work through any pain, knowing what has likely caused it and how then to reduce it,

Janet made me feel very welcome and listened patiently to my problems with my neck and sciatica. She has helped me to understand how chronic pain can affect one psychologically and given me clear guidance on how to overcome my problems through gentle exercises. She is very knowledgeable and a friendly, caring & approachable person.

When I first saw Janet I was very stressed and with quite a lot of pain in my hip. She listened (endlessly!), gave me advice, gave me exercises, listened some more, and as a result I am much less anxious and in less pain and feel reassured and supported. She is a warm sympathetic person – you can say anything to her.
