I have a wide range of skills to help you achieve your goals and help you to be fit for the life you choose."

Highly recommended. I have had several injuries which may have prevented me from taking part in various running events I had signed up for. Catherine is excellent as she was able to quickly assess the problem and treat this efficiently. Thanks to her I managed to complete all of my events. Would definitely recommend a visit.

After injuring my hamstring at football i needed treatment on my injured hamstring, to which Catherine provided 1st class deep tissue massage and gave me professional advice for my rehab. I would definitely recommend Catherine to anybody who requires any sports injury help.
