Arcadia Physiotherapy

I was honestly at a loss late last year when I was really suffering with my pelvic floor, I booked in to see Kathryn early in the year and thought I could at least 'give it a go' to make my life easier.It was the best thing I did. Kathryn was so kind and helpful with such a sensitive topic, I would 100% recommend anyone to go to her. She was thorough in looking at all the other muscles that work together to help the pelvic floor and gives tips you can use well after your appointments have ended.I saw Kathryn for 6 months (approx 5 appointments) and I no longer have the issues that were causing me so much misery this time last year.Worth every penny and wouldn't consider going anywhere else if I needed help in the future.

I first went to see Kathryn over a year ago with extensive injuries to my legs and back which had prevented me from doing any running for almost 5 years. She took the time to listen to all the issues and looked into them thoroughly, which did not happen when I went to the NHS. She is extremely knowledgeable and was able to help me with all of my issues and got me back to running 5-10km regularly. I still go back whenever I have a problem because I know I will get the best care and advice from Kathryn. I could not recommend her enough.

I am an Osteopath. I first became aware if Kathryn about 3 years ago when she moved into a room close to my clinic. She had taken the time to contact me upfront to see if I would have any objection to her moving in. I was stunned by her open nature and her commitment to do what is right both in terms of her business and her clients. Since this time I have taken a few treatments from Kathryn. I am always impressed by her knowledge and her openness to new ideas. She demonstrates the rare ability to use evidence based approaches where available and fill in the gaps with reasoning tailored to the individual which in my opinion is the mark of a true caring professional.

Arcadia Physiotherapy helped me with my pelvic floor and knee pain. Kathryn was approachable and made me feel relaxed while talking about what would normally be an embarrassing problem. I'm on the road to recovery and have Physiotherapy to thank for this.

I would whole-heartedly recommend Kathryn for women’s health physio. Physio with Kathryn has had such an impact on my life - her kind, empathetic approach, along with her knowledge, has been just what was needed. I’ve already made measurable progress and am positive about the future thanks to her support.

My menopause specialist recommended Kathryn and I’m so thankful she did! Kathryn’s fabulous advice and guidance means I do not need to visit Kathryn in person for now, but I will definitely book to see her again. Kathryn is so knowledgeable in all things Women’s Health, her thorough yet gentle examinations should be recommended to all women as a self care package throughout their menopausal years! I can’t Thank Kathryn enough and I highly recommend!

I wish I gone to see Kathryn sooner! Issues with pelvic floor health were impacting my every day life. Not only was Kathryn empathetic, knowledgable and skilled; she has also been able to help. I found Kathryn to have a kind approach and she was very comprehensive in her explanations and guidance. Kathryn is very thorough and able to devise an effective and achievable plan. She also took the time to listen - really listen. I wholeheartedly recommend Kathryn.

I found Kathryn empathetic, thorough and professional. I went to see her last autumn and over a period of a few weeks she helped me to understand my pelvic floor and the importance of being able to relax it. It was only after I'd achieved this that we moved on to pelvic floor exercises. I had never felt confident that I was doing these right and Kathryn's patient approach helped me to feel what I needed to do. I really appreciated that she sent follow-up emails after my appointments with useful links and re-capping what I needed to do before the next appointment.

Having suffered the after effects of a fractured vertebrae and acute sciatica on and off for approximately 14 years I was of the opinion that I was likely to suffer with a level pain and discomfort for life however Kathryn's treatment has been nothing short of remarkable. She quickly diagnosed and treated my long term injuries and strains and in just a few appointments and I am now on the road to recovery, gaining strength, flexibility and most importantly, confidence in my back. Now pain free, I am again participating in sporting activities, something that I had given up due to the after effects. The exercises Kathryn has given for me do do as 'homework' between visits have improved my flexibility immensely. I have received treatment from several Physiotherapy practices with limited success since my initial injury years ago but my progress under Kathryn's treatment has been by far the most successful. I would certainly recommend seeing her if you are suffering pain and discomfort.

Kathryn is kind, compassionate and has a wealth of knowledge both of women's pelvic floor issues and physio in general. I can honestly say that she has changed my life for the better. After months of bladder pain, doctors visits and unnecessary antibiotics I discovered Kathryn and she set me on the road to recovery. I now have a tool kit of exercises and knowledge about my body in the event my bladder symptoms flare up again. She also treated me for a sprained foot and again knew exactly what was needed. I thoroughly recommend Kathryn and am so grateful that I found her.
