Reviews of Bodyworks Physiotherapy Clinic

D. W.

I had a fantastic experience at this practice. I contacted them as I was experiencing minor lower back pain, probably due to the fact that I am very tall, and also because I play tennis regularly. I was assigned to Claire Downes. She was friendly, respectful, courteous, and efficient at all times. She took time to find out about my issue, and wider lifestyle. She then explained how the process would work clearly. We went through a series of diagnostic movements to check the cause of the problem. It is obvious that she knows her stuff because she was able to pinpoint the specific muscle group and relieve some tension with massage to the area. She then gave me a simple exercise to do every day, and after exercise. Just that one exercise has changed everything and I no longer experience pain to the area. 2 sessions and I am back to normal. What more can I ask for?

Cannot recommend Bodyworks enough! Had to be seen at short notice as I'd put my back out badly and couldn't travel, Katrina got to the bottom of the problem right away via zoom consultation and gave me a number of stretches and ways to alleviate pain and get back to normal. I was also given several exercises with video tutorials to do once I'm back in action in order to avoid repeating the injury. Excellent end to end treatment.

c. m.

Amazing people. Had 2 bulging disc's in my lower back ,struggling to even walk. Just after a week seeing Claire it was soooo much better,I was like a different person. Can't thank her enuff!!!!!

A. C.

Was recommended Bodyworks Physio after a total knee replacement by another Professional who was treating me. Louise and Katrina were brilliant. Both extremely professional and encouraging. Also they were able to offer ideas as the treatment progressed to enhance the work already underway. Slowly the improvement began whilst me knee started to heal. Very impressed, they were very accommodating by offering evening appointments after I returned to work which greatly assisted. I have and will continue to recommend Bodyworks to anyone who needs a Physiotherapist, they are excellent.

I can't recommend Katrina at Bodyworks highly enough. I recently visited the clinic with lower back and hip pain, and Katrina was able to relieve some of the pain during my first session and informed me my hips had become slightly misaligned. I was then provided with exercises to continue at home to relax the muscles and realign my hips. I attended the clinic just a week later for a follow up. My pain had completely gone, and upon examination my hips had realigned, so Katrina kindly didn't charge me for the check up. If you're in pain don't hesitate to book in straight away. Katrina is really knowledgeable and you won't feel pressured to book in for unnecessary treatment/appointments.

I have been attending pilates classes at Bodyworks for many years now and also have had physiotherapy with Katrina. Katrina and her staff are knowledgeable, friendly and put you at ease straight away. The service is great and the classes are always filled with humour. During lockdown Katrina kept us going via Zoom and gave extra time ensure we all had access. Would highly recommend this practice.

A. T.

A long term back problem and pain in my pelvis has been slowly improving with the assessment and treatment from Katrina. Her patience in explaining things, listening to what isn’t right and working up home exercises to keep me progressing forwards is brilliant. I am able to do more with less pain. Thank you Bodyworks - an excellent physiotherapist service.

G. H.

My wife and I attend two online sessions of pilates a week-they are always varied and make a huge difference to our overall wellbeing as well as helping with my lower back problems. Before lockdown, my wife had been to pilates classes here for several years and has always found the instructors caring and good humoured. She has also seen Katrina for physiotherapy and has always been struck by her compassionate and very thorough approach. Can't recommend enough for both the pilates classes and the physio.

H. J.

Absolutely brilliant! After years of different physios, I’ve found one that I can trust implicitly. Katrina makes it her mission to find & fix the problem. I can’t recommend highly enough. Apart from the physio, I’ve always considered Pilates a bit too “tame” for me, how wrong I was! Katrina suggested it, & after 4 months of zoom Pilates lessons, I now feel a whole lot stronger & more supple. This company is informative, courteous & professional. Thank you.

C. W.

A very good weekly workout. Bodyworks’ Zoom Pilates sessions are innovative, well planned, educational and, surprisingly (!), very enjoyable. Using very little in the way of equipment, the lessons are challenging and varied - with advice for participants at every level of expertise. I would recommend the classes to anyone who wants to keep up their Pilates in the comfort of their own home.

A. B.

I have seen both Katrina and Claire to help resolve my pregnancy related pelvic/groin pain and they are both absolutely fantastic. They squeezed me in at short notice and were both very thorough, helpful, friendly and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.

A. L.

Have been doing Pilates classes over the last few months - absolutely brilliant! I'm always made to feel comfortable and all levels of experience are valued. I'm feeling much better both physically and mentally after following the exercises. As someone who has always shied away from classes I'm overjoyed to say how much I now look forward to my weekly class! Thanks Bodyworks 😀

K. H.

I phoned for a same day appointment as I was desperate and in quite a bit of pain. Not only did bodyworks fit me in and gave me an appointment for an hour after I called, but Katrina was very thorough and understanding of all my issues - and the next day I was pain free, so I can't speak any higher of the service I received from Bodyworks!

P. C.

I've used the physio services several times and attended the Pilates classes for a few months now. The physios have helped me tremendously, not only with hands on treatments (pre Covid 19) but also by giving me targeted exercises so that I could take responsibility for my own recovery. The Pilates classes with Claire are fun, but also make us work hard! Have been doing online classes recently and am just really impressed with the level of tuition and support which Bodyworks have been giving to their clients. They are fab!

J. B.

Bodyworks Physiotherapy are amazing! They are a wonderful team who provide professional, educational and knowledgeable treatment for all your physical and rehab needs. Including great Pilates classes ! Highly recommend Katrina Wade and her team.

B. K.

I have seen several physios here. They have all been very thorough, very helpful and very skilled. I have had back problems for over 4 years following issues in pregnancy. The Bodyworks staff have helped me every step of the way, from post-natal pilates to insisting my gp referred me for an MRI (which led to spinal injections) to now regular treatment to rehabilitate. I would be lost without them. Thank you x

s. w.

Bodyworks Physiotherapy is the best physiotherapist centre, in my opinion. Myself, my daughter, my friends and family have all attended as patients and all highly recommend it. My friend's ruptured Achilles tendon was missed by a visit to a hospital a&e but following my recommendation visited bodyworks, who diagnosed this trauma and helped tremendously with a full recovery. It's a professional, organised very friendly. On every visit you are treated with compassion and understanding, listened to intently so you can be given an individualized treatment plan. Thankyou bodyworks and I adore your Pilates classes which adapted to zoom in the pandemic so quickly, so all your clients never felt abandoned! Always innovative.

M. P.

Our online weekly Pilates sessions have been just brilliant throughout most of this year since the first lockdown. Our instructor, Jo has provided really clear and varied lessons so that we can maintain and/or improve on our Pilates fitness in difficult times. It's excellent value and adds to the structure of our week.

A. M.

I see two practitioners at Bodyworks, Claire for random and recurrent pain in my neck and back, and Katrina for longer term physio. Both ladies are really nice and utterly professional. Claire always resolves the crises that crop up due to being 58, and with Katrina she is brilliant at explaining the physiology and how I can train to gain strength.

C. S.

I have been attending Pilates classes at Bodyworks over several years. The classes are really enjoyable (never boring) and continue to help me with the ups and downs of my painful lower spine and gluteal region. Thank you to Katrina Jo and Debby for all their dedication over the years and for making the classes fun.

h.

Really excellent experience with Bodyworks, came here for rehab after a knee operation. I have had physio before but this was the best service yet, plenty of exercises etc and now my knee is stronger than it has been in a long while. Highly recommended.

H. P.

Excellent support from Claire to solve my nagging hip issue. Assessment took place via zoom and was very thorough. It was easy to follow my exercise regime with both written instructions and a YouTube demonstration. I put in the work and after a few follow up sessions now much stronger and the problem is resolved. I recommend Bodyworks. Staff are very professional. Helen

M. R.

I wouldn't go anywhere else! The amazing people at Bodyworks are always willing to do whatever it takes to fix me when I have needed them. Fantastic wealth of knowledge and experience and the most caring people ever! I recommend them to anyone who needs physio of any kind and has been palmed off before without receiving the help they need - these guys won't do that! I just hope they survive this horrible pandemic and are still able to be there for everyone on the other side........

I am a keen golfer and well beyond retirement age! Three years ago I had a back problem which prevented me playing. Golf had given me exercise, company and fun which I thought had come to an end. I have had physiotherapy and pilates classes with Katrina and steadily my back has improved and I can now walk and play 18 holes several times a week. The golf isn't quite what it was but I am very happy! I cannot say how grateful I am especially as the pilates classes have continued via Zoom during lockdown. Katrina even manages to make exercise fun!

E. H.

Absolutely fantastic. Prior to COVID I had treatment for an arm problem. It went on for a long time and I ended up seeing 3 different physios at Bodyworks (during holiday period cover, and dealing both pre and post-operation) and all were excellent. Recently, during COVID, my wife has developed severe lower back pain. Katrina offered an initial video consultation at short notice. It was extremely comprehensive and professional. She then booked a face to face session as the pain is so bad that she can barely walk. Bodyworks' attention to COVID-19 is brilliant - all precautions are taken. Extremely professional. We can't recommend Bodyworks enough.

L. C.

I joined a Pilates group with Katrina in July, mainly due to sciatica and joint problems and also to help tone up after losing weight. Katrina is excellent at ensuring you are in the correct position, that you work your resistance up gradually and varies the sessions so they dont get repetitive. My sciatica is so much better now, and I really enjoy these weekly sessions.

a. s.

I have used Bodyworks Physiotherapy extensively over the last few years and have been impressed by their knowledge, professionalism and ability to give me the best possible treatment available. With complex spinal issues, I needed a physio that understood my problems and, armed with this knowledge, do everything they could possibly do to keep me moving - Bodyworks successfully did this. I have already recommended to others and three of my close family have used/are still using this clinic for their physiotherapy needs.

N. S.

I had a problem with my lower back where the muscle got into spasm and was in a lot of back pain at work. Katrina saw me promptly and accurately diagnosed my complaint did some gentle manipulations which helped relieve the back pain greatly. She also gave me some preventive exercises and advice on posture and ergonomics that was specific to my job as a dentist. Since then my pain has resolved (as long as I do the exercises!) and I have referred other patients of mine and friends who have all reported that they have been very happy with the treatment received at Bodyworks. If you are looking for a Physiotherapist in Colchester, I cannot recommend them highly enough! I hope to join their pilates classes in the future also.

C. N.

I would like to thank publicly as I have done privately Mrs Katrina Wade on helping me with my knees/back and shoulders, I have found she has improved my mobility with acupuncture and ultrasound and nothing is too much trouble. I would also like to extend my thanks to the team at the Bodyworks centre for being most helpful. I hope that anyone who reads this will take my strong recommendation and give Mrs Wade at Bodyworks a call, you have nothing to lose and (in my case) everything to gain, I feel my movement has improved which make me feel better in myself. Thank you Katrina Wade at Bodyworks.

C. H.

Claire has been my saviour. I have seen her every week since January after a broken leg prevented me walking for 2 months. She has also helped with a linked shoulder issue and life is looking so much better. All the staff are friendly, efficient and great at putting you at your ease. Would thoroughly recommend Bodyworks to anyone.

N. H.

I was unable to make it into Bodywork's, so they set up a video call instead. We were able to have a video face to face conversation to get an overview of my problem, a visual examination to establish what was causing my issue, and then come up with some exercises and and a plan to work through and resolve my issue, with an ongoing plan and a scheduled review in a weeks time to monitor my progress. I was sent some information via email to explain the exercise plan for me to follow, with a summary of which exercises to do and how frequently. Overall I was impressed with how effective this meeting was. Thank you Katrina

I initially started going to Bodyworks to attend the Pilates classes. I have suffered from back problems for many years due to a car accident. Pilates has helped my overall strength and well being. Three years on and I love Pilates. I have since used Bodyworks for physiotherapy successfully on a number of issues including hip and knee problems. Bodyworks strike just the right balance between friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Bodyworks.

P. C.

I've been attending Bodyworks for about two years now on and off and do a Pilates class there which I love. Before finding Bodyworks I'd given up everything I enjoyed in life due to pain. Now, thanks to the treatment I've received, I'm back exercising and dancing and not in pain afterwards. I no longer waste time going to my GP with pain related issues and go straight to Bodyworks where I know problems will be resolved.

P. M.

The on-line Pilates classes are excellent. Well presented, clear instructions and varied exercises for those who have injuries/problems. The hour flows well and the structure of each lesson is well thought-out. Highly recommended.

C.

I've had a shoulder injury and coccydynia successfully treated at Bodyworks Physiotherapy by Katrina who is always empathetic and professional, as well as highly skilled. All the staff are very experienced and it shows in their results - cannot thank them enough - I recommend them to everyone!

H. E.

From the start to the end of my treatment I have been so impressed with the friendly and professional service from all Body Works. I cannot recommend them enough. All of the staff I've met are really helpful and very polite. To top it all of my shoulder problem is now gone thanks to my treatment and exercises given. Thank you to all body works, Highly recommended.

K. M.

I have been attending the Saturday morning online Pilates class for beginners.its brilliant and I highly recommend it. Katrina follows up weekly with exercises. So organised. So helpful.

S. T.

Katrina and her team are some of the most experienced and professional Physiotherapists I have both worked with and been treated by. Highly knowledgeable,up to date and very competent. If you need physio treatment in Colchester look no further.

K. B.

I have visited with bodyworks a few times now. Each time I am made to feel comfortable and at ease. The physios I have met with have been very knowledgable and highly professional. Have helped myself and my daughter out no end. Highly recommend them for ladies issues as well as muscular and pain issues.

L. R.

I've had a problem with my knee area for over a year, different physio said it was connected to tight calf muscles but didn't seem to know how to fix it and didn't give me any exercises, I couldn't walk for longer than 40 mins without my knee locking and having terrible pains and being quite immobile for the next 24hrs. I went to see Katrina who decided it was my IT band and gave me 5 glute exercises to do twice a day and after a month I'm now able to walk for 75 mins with no pain! I'm going to continue my strengthening exercises to keep improving my knee, thank you so much!

C. P.

I have been doing Pilates for over 10 years now and all the instructors have been fantastic. I would highly recommend body works physiotherapy all staff are highly knowledgeable and professional.

B. H.

I have used a number of physio's and osteopaths over the years, and Physioworks rate amongst the best of them. They always managed to fit me in an appt, and the staff are first rate. The physio's take a truly holistic approach in the treatment they offer, and always take time to explain everything and answer questions. I dealt with Amy and Katrina, both of whom I can unreservedly recommend. I went in with knee pain, which Amy instantly diagnosed as a torn Meniscus. My GP assured me this was not the case and refused to refer me for an MRI, insisting I go to a physio through him. I declined and was referred for a private MRI by Katrina, the scan showed my Meniscus is in fact torn! Without the support of Physioworks I would still be arguing with my GP. I can now be referred for a surgical consultation and hopefully be my knee fixed. I would say this is the best Physio practice in Colchester, and I used most of them.

A UK leading Physiotherapy clinic. Katrina and team are brilliant at sorting out the sports injuries , neck and back pain and really excel at this. However, where Katrina's clinic is different is that she is one of the UK's top physios in treating patients who are pregnant or post natal or have other women's health related conditions such as prolapse or stress incontinence. Katrina also sees men with pelvic floor problems post prostata surgery or with pelvic pain. Recently she taught with world leading pelvic physio Dr Ruth Jones. Katrina and her physios are exceptional. Let them help you , your partner , relative or friend.

C. B.

I highly recommend Bodyworks Physio, for both physio and Pilates. Highly knowledgable staff which is always going « the extra mile » to support progress and recovery.

K. J.

Katrina will always try to see you as quickly as possible when you desperately need treatment. She doesn't just stick to one particular treatment she will try different methods until she finds the right one to alleviate the problem. A true asset to Colchester to have such an excellent physiotherapist.

G. J.

Excellent help and advice following my prostate operation, really helped in my recovery and normal functionality. I would highly recommend them, first class.

J. B.

A really helpful, professional, friendly and personal service. Excellent Pilates classes with fun but effective instruction. Highly recommended.

N. Z.

Friendly efficient service. Katrina is very knowledgeable in her subject - this instills confidence for patients

N. P.

Katrina was recommended by a relative of mine. I am eternally grateful for that recommendation. Katrina is experienced, knowledgable, caring and, what is most important, helped to get rid of the pain and get me mobile again. I can thoroughly commend her to you.

M. M.

Great physios session yesterday, I’ve had pain since the first lockdown and in one session it’s so much better already.

R. M.

Katrina and her team provide highly specialised care and get excellent results, they are also kind friendly and approachable I highly recommended their services you will be so glad you went

J. S.

With just three simple neck exercises Katrina cured a six week debilitating neck pain overnight - I cannot thank her enough - all the way from Dorset !

L. W.

Received some excellent advice from Katrina at Bodyworks Physiotherapy Clinic recently and I would highly recommend you speak to Katrina if you are worried or concerned about personal health matters.

V. P.

Wondeful team and great service. I would not have been able to get back on my feet and back to work after hurting my back without them. The advice the team give is invaluable.
