TESTIMONIALS

“I started seeing Simon due to a finger injury a few years ago. He was very quick to diagnose what wrong and gave me a great rehab plan! Since then I have seen him for pretty much any niggle I have- finger, knee, you name it! It’s great because Simon understands how important climbing and moving is to me- being in the GB Climbing Team being able to train is pretty important! So all his rehab and recovery still involved some form of training so I could get back to full strength ASAP! Could not recommend highly enough!

– Rhoslyn Frugtniet – IFSC World Cup Climber.

Charlie was really friendly, helpful and reassuring, and the exercises she gave me have fully solved my back problem! Absolutely great.

– Claire

His unlimited psych for sport, exercise and rehab always spurred me on to complete all my exercises which was a key part of my recovery. All injured climbers should just book in with him now as you’ll be climbing hard again sooner if you do!

– Ponder Stibbons

Amazing session! Sarah answered loads of questions I had and helped me to integrate some exercises into my yoga practice so I have a solid way of moving forward and rehabilitating my body

– Imralis

I highly recommend Simon and the Rise team for both climbing and running related physio for either injury or performance reasons

– Alistair

I saw Sarah when my lower back went into painful spasm. Sarah was extremely empathetic, helpful and skilled. I left feeling very reassured and after just one day of prescribed exercises my back is already improving!

– Jen

The transformation I’ve experienced seeing both Simon for an initial physiotherapy consultation, and Stefani for 1:1 Pilates sessions over the course of several months has been incredible.
