Many people seeking advice on exercise are not sure where to start… This is where our true value lies.
Our individual programmes are designed to for you to practice easily at home - we focus on your goals, taking into consideration your current ability.
Every exercise programme is different, because every individual has different abilities, different physical demands, different needs and varying amounts of time to dedicate to their exercises at home.
Eva will take time to listen to your story, your health journey to this point, and any barriers you have feel may make it difficult to start exercising. Most people who come to our service have underlying back/neck/shoulder/hip or knee issues, and this is where the expertise of an experienced physio makes the process smooth and manageable.
