Annabel - Soft Tissue Therapy High Street, Portishead, Bristol BS20 6EL

"I had suffered with a sore shoulder and associated loss of range of movement for over a year and had started to accept it was just something I had to put up with, as it hadn't healed on its own. The loss of range of movement had started to interfere with my work, so upon recommendation, I went to see Annabel. I had 2 treatments and in-between was given a series of daily exercises to do, which I religiously followed. There was a marked improvement after 3 days. 3 weeks later post the second treatment my shoulder is back to within 95% of how it used to be. I have been given an updated set of exercises to maintain to rehab. I couldn't have hoped for a better outcome and would recommend a visit to anyone suffering with muscular issues. (Although probably don't wait a year to get looked at!)"

"Annabel , is not just professional and thoughtful when treating ones symptoms, she has full empathy for the pain one is carrying and transfers this through the physical nature of her treatment towards you. I had a frozen shoulder that was causing me a lot of sleepless nights and stress in the day. She gave me exercises that eased the discomfort and her weekly treatments transformed my disability remarkably quickly. I now have full use of both my arm and shoulder. I can't recommend her enough."

"I first went to see Annabel regarding hip and lower back pains that were effecting my runs and rides. Following a consultation, she was able to tailor a plan, complete the treatments and kept me informed about the next steps. The exercises that she gave me to do at home were easy to follow and aided my recovery. It helps that she is a keen athlete too."

"Annabel has been a massive help keeping me in one piece over the last couple of years as I've trained for, and competed in, triathlon, swimming and cycling events of various distances. Her knowledge and experience has provided me with some really interesting insights into recovery and specific training to protect against injury and increase performance. Annabel's holistic approach and friendly, welcoming personality makes monthly torture sessions something to look forward to!"

"Annabel is an experienced therapist. She is a good listener, empathetic and extremely knowledgeable and will go above and beyond to provide additional information to help along the way. Annabel has been treating me on a 5-6 weekly basis for over one year now. I have treatment as a preventative measure to enable me to continue with all the sports which I enjoy. I always feel a sense of muscular relief and relaxation following the deep tissue massages, Annabel exerts the appropriate pressure to release acute muscle tightness. It's really good to know that I am in very safe, reliable hands!"
