 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having experienced knee pain during other events I decided a course of prehab was needed before a big charity challenge I had lined up. Ruby was recommended to me and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. She provided a strength training plan based on my specific areas of weakness, tracked my progress and  adjusted the plan accordingly. She was hugely supportive and clearly very knowledgeable. I will definitely return whenever her skills are next needed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Ruby after several weeks of a painful neck that was interfering with my sleep. She analysed my condition thoroughly, gave me a deep massage as well as a set of daily exercises to carry out. Three weeks later I am sleeping properly again and feel well on the way to a full recovery.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ruby has been amazing throughout my post natal physio journey. She helped me safely return to weight training and running after having my baby, which was do important to me. She’s incredibly professional but also so warm and personable, and her advice was always spot on. I’m really grateful for her support and can’t recommend her enough. Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been seeing Ruby since October having  suffered a back injury following a nasty fall. Ruby very quickly diagnosed and identified the exact location of my injury and commenced a treatment plan for me. Carefully reviewing progress and providing hands on massage and manipulation to ease my pain and discomfort towards me making positive improvements. Ruby is extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable and puts patients at ease during their treatment. I am so pleased I found her and would have no hesitation recommending her, and have done so to others.
