Testimonials
“Leading up to the European Masters Athletics Championships in Poland I had been struggling with a variety of long term injuries. Within my first visit Josie diagnosed the cause of these injuries and using her experience of dealing with sports athletes set out a rehab programme which treated my injuries but also enable me to resume my normal training schedule.
Without Josie’s personal commitment to getting me back on the road to recover I do not believe I would have achieved my goal of securing double gold over the 100m and 200m at these Championships. I am forever indebted.” W.Macgee
“After sustaining a back injury, I continued to suffer from severe back pain for 15 years and was barely able to function. Then I met Josie! She quickly analysed what was wrong and devised an intensive rehabilitation programme. I still see Josie for a regular MOT but I am now completely pain free, leading an active life and have even taken up running to keep fit.” L. Mcintyre
“I was having a persistent problem in my quad. No amount of stretching would alleviate the tightness I was feeling. It was getting worse and worse and my first race of the season was approaching. I was advised to go and see Josie to get treatment for the problem. During my first consultation Josie was able to diagnose my problem, my pelvis was out of line. She assessed my movement and power using a cybex machine and by analysing my walking and running. After treatment on my back and around my hips and s a series of rehab exercises, I was able to resume training immediately and race as planned. I was grateful that Josie was able to diagnose the problem so quickly and assure me that my quad was not injured, allowing me to compete for my university at the British University Championships.”
