I originally came to Katie Bell Physiotherapy & Wellness with a trapped nerve in my neck, torn tendons in a shoulder, almost constant pain eased by quantities of codeine, paracetamol & amitriptyline. I had previously had to have cortisone injections for the relief too. After the 1st appointment I haven’t taken pain relief and have been doing the exercise program. I have occasional nerve pain, but adding Pilates in has really made a difference on that too. Not being in pain has given me my life back. My range of movement and my confidence has improved so much. I now feel really good, and friends who I don’t see often have commented unprompted on the difference in me.

I came with back problems and osteoarthritis. The experience of working with the team at Katie Bell Physiotherapy & Wellness has been positive and enjoyable with individual needs met in group situations as well as on 1:1 sessions. The end result is that I have been able to walk normally and go up stairs easily and without pain. I feel greatly improved and the programme of daily exercises are becoming much easier and less painful.

The experience has been really positive and inclusive. Since starting Pilates I have had an immediate reduction in back pain. I feel much more mobile, taller and thinner now.
