Isla Scott Ltd
If pain, persistent symptoms, stress or feeling disconnected from your body are getting in the way of the life you want to live, there may be more to explore. And if you’ve tried the usual approaches without finding the answers you hoped for, perhaps it’s time to look at things differently.
Your pain and symptoms sit within a context that is unique to you, so even when your problem sounds similar to someone else’s, your starting point and the pathway forward may look very different.
At Isla Scott Ltd, I take a neuroscience-led, whole-person and highly bespoke approach. Drawing on over 30 years of physiotherapy experience, behavioural science, movement science and a broad range of evidence-informed disciplines, I look beyond the presenting symptom to understand the bigger picture, exploring how the different pieces may connect.

Patients' Experience
I first went to see Isla after being diagnosed with Endometriosis and Adenomyosis. I’d been struggling with chronic pain in my hip area, a consultant suggested it was potentially adhesions related to my diagnosis, and I was keen to find someone who could help me manage it better.
Isla took time to understand everything going on around my pain, and we worked through both the physical and emotional sides of it. That combination was really valuable: it helped me understand the emotions I was holding onto physically that were manifesting as pain, while also giving me targeted exercises to improve my symptoms. It covered all sides, and the difference it made was dramatic.
More recently, when I had a flare-up and started experiencing rib pain, I went back to Isla. She checked me over physically and we talked through my emotions around it. Amazingly, because of the work we’d already done together, rib pain that had been going on for a couple of months was dramatically better within a single session.

I’ve known Isla and her team for about 10 years and in that time they have offered outstanding treatment to all of us competitors at the Isle of Man TT races. I have had countless little injuries helped by Isla over the years but last year at the 2019 TT I arrived with 2 badly broken bones in my foot after having been in an accident racing 2 weeks before, with her outstanding knowledge and treatments every day I was able to soon walk without crutches and none of that would have been possible without her and her team’s help. I owe my two podiums at last year’s TT down to her and her fantastic team’s ability and ever increasing and cutting-edge treatments.

I was mostly house bound when I first came to Isla. Driving no further than to drop off and collect my daughter from school.
I was racked with anxiety and due to physical pain and fatigue, I had been unable to do physical exercise for years.
The mind-body work we have done together has been life changing.
I am now driving myself around the island, taking Glen walks, doing yoga, and socialising, all without the debilitating anxiety, fatigue or chronic back pain I had before.

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.

After breaking my neck & a six month stay in a spinal unit in the UK rehabilitating, with daily intensive physio, I came back to the island to hardly any, we made the decision to go private and luckily for us Isla had just moved back to the Isle of Man, she has helped me to get back on my feet and more importantly to stay on my feet. She also helped me in the saddle when I was competing at National level in para dressage, I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

When I was younger, I had an accident on a quad bike which left me struggling with my back for years. I went to see so many different physiotherapists over that time, but never really felt like I was getting anywhere or finding someone who truly understood what I needed.
By the time I met Isla, I think I had almost started to accept that I might never get back to doing the fun things I used to do before the accident. From the very first session, Isla was different. She was easy to talk to, kind, genuinely interested, and it was clear she really wanted to help. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.
After only a couple of sessions, I could already feel a difference, which gave me hope again. Nearly 10 years later, I am able to enjoy playing with my children and getting on with life in a way I honestly did not think would be possible at one point.
These days, I only need to pop in to see Isla every couple of months to keep on top of my back, and I always know I am in good hands.
I cannot thank Isla enough for everything she has done for me over the years. She has made a real difference to my life, and I would recommend her to anyone.
