What People Say

'10 days in hospital, 7 months of constant pain, 3 MRI's, xrays, ultrasound, a huge prescription of painkillers and still no answers as to why I was in so much pain... until I had a consultation with Sarah. Within 15 minutes I could piece together what had been going on and see a way forward to get me back on track again, enjoying my normal active lifestyle without compromise.

Sarah's approach encompassed everything that was going on in my body and mind that was impacting my pain, and her simple explanations helped me to understand why she was giving me the actions to do. Sarah was always available if I got stuck or had any questions which was fantastic after months and months of frustration. I loved joining in the movement classes once I was at the right stage. They put all the individual movements together in a way that flowed and felt like my more normal exercises of yoga and qi gong.

Within 2 weeks of starting the programme I was seeing massive improvements. My husband couldn't quite believe how I was so quickly able to regain my range of movement! He says Sarah is ‘worth her weight in gold’. The absolute relief when, just 10 weeks in to the programme I realised when I was no longer in constant pain, and that the pain I was still getting I knew what to do to ease it. I've still got some work to do but I know I've got the support of Sarah to help me achieve all my goals.'

Caroline, loves life

'I love the notion of building circuitry in the brain to change the way I move, building resilience ... understanding the things that are influencing how I move day to day.

I have the tools to make the changes and everyday I can see the progress'.

Hannah, Mum and Buiness owner

'I was working on an intense year long project. Long hours, at my computer, gave me persistent neck and shoulder pain which was aggravated by my love of cycling. The Healthy Movement Programme gave me the break that I had been searching for. I worked step by step to restore my movement patterns and now four weeks later I can work and cycle in balance.'

Jack, Entrepreneur

Ongoing neck pain was putting Phoebe's career at risk. She couldn’t perform and was worried about her future professional dance career. She had tried everything - osteopathy, physio and painkillers. Focusing on retraining her movement helped her to say goodbye to her neck pain, resume dance training and working within 12 weeks.

'Sarah changed my life. She gave me hope and the processes, practice, belief and understanding that I could see and achieve a pain-free future'.

Phoebe,  A professional dancer

‘As a young athlete facing the long road to recovery following a hip fracture and subsequent operation, Sarah’s guidance from an early stage and frequent touch points  has not only given me confidence but also the context to the understanding of my symptoms and limitations in sport and activities, in the different phases of my recovery.

Having instinctively focused on strengthening muscles, Sarah really pushed me to change my movement and focus on controlling movement and understanding my cheats and compensations. The seven touchpoints and the knowledge I have gained I can see supporting me through-out the rest of my life. A little goes a long way!’

Young amateur athlete

'I suffered a significant tear to my oblique abdominals and was experiencing frustration with my weightlifting training and despite gains in strength was struggling with overhead lifts. I felt out of balance and not fully in control of the bar and small adjustments to my technical model were not paying dividends. Sarah identified that I struggled with specific movements and was able to facilitate me to find the know how to use new movement patterns and avoid old compensations. My lifts became better and more controlled, my recovery from them was quicker and I could apply my strength more effectively. I felt that I could trust my movement to a greater degree ... This was the missing link that made all the difference ... movement coaching. Within a small time-frame Sarah had helped me make some hugely significant changes to both my performance and resilience. She makes movement the focus and movement matters'.

John, Former rugby player

'I’ve had injuries to my knees, hips and shoulders over the years and Sarah has done a fantastic job sorting them out. Whilst in the past she’s assessed and helped me manage them in person, more recently it has been virtually. Her clear instruction for movement retraining has resulted in quick improvement and sustained recovery, allowing me to continue skiing, hiking, mountain biking and canoeing.

I’m confident Sarah’s approach has helped prevent my injuries reoccurring and I am now so aware of ensuring my body movements are the best they can be, which makes me feel great.'

Dr Annette Richardson

'At the beginning I wasn’t convinced, and I can’t believe the investment I made on changing my movement made all the difference. I understood what I had to do and built on it.

Despite strength training, stretching and numerous treatments my shoulder pain was influencing my enjoyment and performance of my golf and tennis as well. This programme really got to the nuts and bolts and has allowed me to put it all behind me and I am back to my competitive self '.
