I've been to see Ruth about two different ailments now, and can vouch for her expertise and professionalism. Unlike another physio I've visited, she asked lots of questions first and tried more than one approach to get the results I needed. Highly recommended!

I had muscle pain around all my right side for years. Initially, I went to see physio in Finland (where I lived at that time) and later at the NHS, unfortunately, things did not resolve and even got aggravated. In the meantime I started my physiotherapy course at uni in York. My own playing with my body to find the cause of the problem did not work very well as my problem seemed to be something which is not easy to spot and is not directly tought in physio classes, I knew it is pain from muscles' overuse, some sort of tendinopathy, which is there due to hypermobility syndrome and there is an issue in the kinetic chain but that was it. Ruth helped me to understand the issue deeper than I did before, she did not only help me to solve it but also explained the anatomy behind it to help my own learning, recommended some books/online learning. It was amaizing to find someone who knows the human body so deeply and can explain it. I would highly recommend Swan Health Physiotherapy and Ruth as a professional!

Ruth quickly identified a nerve / muscle imbalance sports injury that my daughter suffered and has helped to relieve the pain and develop a great rehab programme. We were worried that our daughter may be unable to participate in an upcoming National competition but the brilliant work Ruth has carried out has meant this is now fully achievable. We are very grateful and would highly recommend Ruth.

I was recommended to see Ruth by a doctor friend as I had been suffering from a twisted spine for a couple of months and despite going to see a chiro nothing was improving. Ruth explained that I had been treating the symptoms and not the cause of the issue and therefore was unlikely to ever get fully better. After an initial examination and manipulation Ruth gave me a series of simple excercises to help strengthen the muscles to prevent the issue from starting again. By doing one particualr excercise the spine was almost straight immediately so we worked on strengthening my core. 3 visits later and I have just been told that I don't need to come back but to keep up with the excercises. If you have any issues and are thinking a physio can help, please do yourself a favour and book in to see Ruth. AND DONT GOOGLE YOUR TREATMENT before hand (in-joke)! Thoroughly recommend her. Pleaseant and honest as well as reasonable rates. Thank you Ruth.

Ruth sorted by lower back pain in 2 sessions - she listens and adapts treatments providing exercises. I can strongly recommend.

Ruth is absolutely fantastic - I was in a lot of pain when I was recommended her services and she was so caring, calm and knowledgeable. Gradually Ruth has used manipulation and acupuncture to heal a disc issue in my neck and relieve resulting nerve pain. I would recommend Ruth to anybody and will not hesitate to use her again in the future should I need to. Thank you Ruth!

Highly recommended. Ruth treated my 12 y.o. gymnast daughter for back pain. I liked the way she focused on working with my daughter, not deferring to us parents. Hands on treatment and trigger point release was well judged, really effective and sensitive to the nuance of a young gymnast body. I liked the way Ruth worked to understand my daughter to diagnose muscle imbalances and develop a practical exercise regime, progressively modifying and targeting as my daughter improved. After a difficult prep phase Ruth helped my daughter to pass her National 3 grade with Commendation, place in the Regional competition, and most importantly allowed her to enjoy the competition 😃!

I can't recommend Ruth enough, she is fantastic. She has now worked wonders on two issues/injuries (shoulder and knee) which were both having a debilitating impact not just on my active leisure activities, but in every-day life, too. Having tried various other options and treatments in both cases Ruth has been the difference, and I'm now able to not only enjoy my hobbies again pain- and worry-free but go further with them than I once could have hoped. Friendly, accommodating, knowledgable, skillful and effective; Ruth is brilliant. If you're similarly experiencing challenges which are proving prohibitive or even just frustrating - I really do recommend getting in touch.

I started seeing Ruth as I was struggling to make progress with my hip rehabilitation following 3 complex hip surgeries including a pelvic osteotomy and two total hip replacements, plus a recent diagnosis of tendinopathy. I had lost confidence in exercise and everyday movement and wasn't sure what to try next. Ruth is patient and empathetic and really took the time to listen to my health history, current concerns and restrictions. Ruth has put together a physio plan that I feel comfortable with and which fits in with my routine, which we are now building on gradually. I feel more confident with doing exercises and everyday movements and feel like I am making great progress in strengthening my pelvis after years of surgery. My hip pain from the tendinopathy has reduced and I am feeling better in myself and my body. I am very grateful to have found Ruth and I feel much more hopeful about my mobility and capability for exercise. I can highly recommend Ruth to anyone in need of physio, especially anyone with a history of complex surgeries. Thank you Ruth!

I contacted Ruth back in March after experiencing some shoulder pain. After a number of sessions with Ruth, my shoulder is now much better. Thank you Ruth and I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who might be needing treatment.
