TESTIMONIALS
"In 2015 I picked up a knee injury during the Paris marathon and went to Julia May for her physiotherapy assessment and advice. Julia is a great listener and teased from me my training, the type of discomfort I was feeling, its trigger points and she also looked at my functional movements. Jules gave me a number of exercises which I worked hard at to increase the stability around the knee. I was back running and able to compete again later that season. Jules showed herself to be knowledgeable, patient (with my questions), confident, sincere and caring. I would 100% recommend Julia and The Running Specialists."

"With a chronic knee issue I sought the advice of Julia. After several sessions of acupuncture I was able to qualify and compete at the European Duathlon championships. First class service from someone who knows the body and how to cure ailments, Highly recommended"

“Jules is an amazing Pilates teacher, taking us back to basics so we were able to master all the exercises properly even though we had all done Pilates before. Her determination to get us to do the exercises properly is fantastic to ensure were always the most out of the sessions.
Jules taught me before,through and after my pregnancy which was just brilliant. She is a fantastic teacher who has amazing attention to detail and her huge knowledge of the way the body works through her Physio works really helps. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.”

Two decades of bad posture left me with a persistent ache in my upper back that one day flared into an agony that I could no longer ignore. I tried all my usual remedies with the foam roller, better posture, paracetamol, and they simply didn’t work. Enter Jules! Two acupuncture sessions with her and the pain simply disappeared. Nearly a year later, it still hasn’t returned. Thank you, Jules!

I went to see Julia for physio in an attempt to build strength in advance of a hip operation. After 5 weeks the additional strength and conditioning had taken pressure off the hip and eliminated the pain and irritation. I subsequently decided to cancel the operation and have maintained some degree of the exercises to ensure I can continue to run pain and operation free.
