Easy to book an appointment and the website had lots of useful information. It was helpful to be able to complete the assessment form beforehand as I was able to really detail the difficulties I have been having. Frances, who I saw was very friendly and encouraging. The excercises she advised for my difficulties have literally changed my life- I have been wfh since lockdown predominantly and sitting for long hours has had a detrimental effect on my back. I put helpseeking off for so long but couldn't any longer. I'm glad I took the risk as Frances instantly alleviated all my worries when I met her. Would highly recommend. Don't put it off like me!

Had a brilliant experience today with Lee. I was assessed then he addressed some of the issues with daily homework to do with multiple exercises. Hands down Move 4 was head and shoulders above Three Shires!! I didnt get any of the above on my first visit with them unfortunately.

Second appointment with Lee for a niggling knee issue preventing longer run training. He is very thorough and patient, ensuring no stone is unturned in getting to the bottom of the issue and putting a plan in place to resolve it long term, strengthen the glutes and free off the hip flexors! Lots of challenging exercises to work on, but already I can feel the difference. Can’t recommend him enough, brilliant. Thank you!!
