Here are some samples of what my clients say about me...
"Well, I am astounded! For the first time in many months, I can get out of bed or an armchair, and stand upright straight away. My husband used to cringe watching me get up and said I looked like a 90 year-old, painfully struggling to walk. So I don't know quite how you did it, but you have made an enormous difference to my mobility and pain levels, in just one session.....I can't wait for my next appointment." (Cathy Harding, Kinnerley, Shropshire)
“I first went to Heather for a back and hip problem which was getting in the way of my regular walking and running activities. I found her very helpful, easy to talk to and keen to educate me about how I could improve my condition in the future with an ongoing strengthening and stretching programme. I was so impressed that I started referring my patients to her for sports injuries and chronic musculoskeletal pain problem and have had very positive reports back from them.” (Dr Catherine Mangham, GP, Shrewsbury)
“I can strongly recommend Heather Smith as a provider of soft tissue therapy to assist in the recovery of injuries and maintenance of general well-being. She is thoroughly professional, knowledgeable and friendly.” (Andrew Preston, Oswestry) “I felt much better a couple of days later thank you - in fact I forgot that I had any pain at all! It makes a refreshing change to have someone who really knows what they are doing as they've been properly trained.” (Joanna Livermore, Aston Rogers, Shropshire)
“Having suffered from neck and shoulder pain due to a spinal injury the difference I found after one massage was immeasurable. I’m very thankful I found Heather and recommend her to other wheelchair users.” (Jamie Walker, Ludlow)
"Through a well-being week at my work place Heather was invited in to take some of “that stress away” she was great! Provided an excellent treatment on my neck and shoulders exactly where I needed it. The rest of the team loved it too so much so Heather now has been hired to massage the whole office every couple of months !" (Bernadette Rock, employee at Resource Bank, Telford)
“I noticed an improvement after the initial treatment and exercises last week and managed to play golf twice this week even if I did use a buggy the pain was less in both my back and knees.” (Zena Hargest, Oswestry) “I just wanted to say thank you for your help yesterday Heather. I slept much better and this morning my neck feels easier with better movement and much less pain. Worth every penny. Thank you.” (James Goddard, Landscape Gardener, Shrewsbury)
“Thank you very much Heather. I feel you really moved things forward for me. My elbow has retained a greater range of pain free movement. In general, I feel much better and I have not had any pain in my knee all day. Booking the session with you is one of the best things I have done to improve my health and well being.” (Rhys Evans, Llangollen)
“Heather has helped me with a back problem I have had for many years. The main problem being my shoulder and neck, with stiffness in my lower back. Prior to work carried out by Heather I had one or two days a year when I actually felt pain free. I also suffered from approximately 20 days per month with headaches and migraines for which I took a prescribed medication called Pizotifen. For back pain I took high levels of anti-inflammatory tablets. Heather has worked with a high level of professionalism to improve my range of movement and release tight muscles. Heather has given me exercises, which has given me control and power to improve my range of movement. I am no longer taking any medication, and can not thank Heather enough for her help. I strongly recommend Heather Smith to anyone seeking a fully qualified sports and remedial therapist.” (Amber Morris, A3 House & Pet Sitting, Llanrhaeadr-YM, Powys)
“I first saw Heather when my right shoulder had seized up and I was in a great deal of pain. She was able to relieve the pain considerably using massage and other techniques. She gave me very good advice on how my posture could have contributed to my pain and left me with a range of exercises to do at home. All along I felt secure in that Heather obviously understood the body so well and she knew exactly what she was doing. She provided excellent after-care and was always happy to help and answer any questions I had. I know now how to manage the problem myself – I am very grateful to Heather and her expertise.” (Kate Morrison, Oswestry, Shropshire)
“Just a quick email to say thanks Heather for the remedial massage that you gave me last week. As I hurt my shoulder immediately prior to my attempt to climb Mont Blanc the timing was pretty crucial. I’m pleased to say that I made the summit with very little pain despite carrying a heavy rucksack for many hours. Many thanks for your work – you got right to the root of the problem very quickly and I much appreciated your expertise.” (Helen Tatchell, Machynlleth, Powys)
“Thank you so much Heather for treating my tennis elbow. I noticed immediate relief and a continued improvement whilst working as a hairdresser and doing household chores. I’m now able to sleep without the need for pain relief. I try to work on the area myself like you showed me and it really helps. Having suffered the pain for 5 months I wish I’d spoken to you about this earlier! Thanks again!” (Meirwen Lloyd, Hairdresser, Four Crosses, Powys)
“Heather I found your treatment and diagnosis spot on, but I need to keep doing the exercises. 18 holes of golf tomorrow to test it!!” (Arthur Evans, Dorset)
“Heather has been working on an old shoulder injury that I have had for some years. I could not remember a time when I would wake up with no pain. After initial treatment, I have had several follow up sessions and now find that I can go some weeks with no pain – until I over push myself! I have recommended Heather to my horse riding clients.” (Kate Butler, Riding Instructor, Dudleston Health, Shropshire)
