As a former professional motorcycle racer, it will come as no surprise that I’ve needed a lot of treatment over the years. I’ve worked with countless physiotherapists, but often left feeling little had changed.

Thankfully, after moving to the Isle of Man, I was introduced to Isla. Since working with her, she has quite literally transformed the way I feel. Old injuries, aches and pains that I’d simply learned to live with have either disappeared or improved beyond what I thought was possible.

Her knowledge, experience and professionalism are second to none, and she always takes the time to understand the root cause of any issue rather than just treating the symptoms.

I can’t recommend Isla highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely knows how to get the best out of your body, you won’t find anyone better.

When I first started working with Isla, I could run, but I couldn’t do it consistently. I was stuck in a frustrating cycle of being able to run for a period of time, then having my Achilles flare up and being forced to stop again. It was very much stop-start, and I struggled to see how I was ever going to get back to training consistently enough to reach the level I wanted.

With Isla, we stripped everything right back to basics. Rather than just focusing on the Achilles itself, she looked at how my whole body was moving and wanted to understand where the problem was actually coming from. We worked on identifying weaknesses, imbalances and movement patterns that could have been contributing to the chronic Achilles issue.

That approach completely changed my rehabilitation. It wasn’t just about treating the Achilles when it became painful; it was about understanding why the problem kept coming back and building my body up properly so I could tolerate the demands of running.

Step by step, she helped me rebuild my strength, consistency and confidence. What makes the journey even more special is that I went from being stuck in a constant cycle of running and stopping to ultimately making the Commonwealth Games.

I honestly can’t thank Isla enough for everything she has done. Her knowledge, patience and belief in me played such a huge part in getting me back to doing what I love and achieving something I wasn’t sure was possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone dealing with a difficult or long-term injury.
