When my shoulder became very painful, a specialist suggested that physiotherapy could help. I had several physio treatments by Theresa Bell of Bodyworks, which were beneficial. I am now 88 years old with not only an arthritic and damaged shoulder but also an arthritic knee and increasing mobility difficulties. I attend I hour Studio Pilates exercises (maximum 4 clients per session) plus...

Weekly Pilates

I first saw Theresa Bell 10 years ago for a lower back problem. She advised basic pilates exercises initially to be carried out daily at home. I have since been attending weekly pilates studio sessions for maintenance. Over the years during episodes of acute pain I have attended for physiotherapy, acupuncture, ultrasound and recently had an excellent sports massage with the new therapist Joseph...

A First Rate Clinic

Jo Cheyette is a knowledgeable, skilled and dedicated therapist. I have been consulting her for some time for various soft tissue ailments and via massage, ultrasound, acupuncture and exercises prescribed I have been well looked after. She is warm, approachable and empathic as well as highly skilled. The facilities, location and reception staff are all excellent. Can’t recommend them highly...

The best practitioner I have come across

"Thanks to Theresa and Body Works I have experienced significant improvements to the various ‘challenges’ to my body since I was 80. The original physiotherapy sessions in 2012 (recommended by the shoulder consultant) helped to keep the shoulder in use and subsequent sessions, which include very helpful, illustrated exercise programmes, are continuing the good work - given my reduced mobility....

We are very lucky to have them on our doorstep

I am a patient and a Pilates student with Theresa. The fact that she is both a physio and a teacher of Pilates says a great deal about her approach to looking after her students and patients and helping them to look after themselves. I feel in very good hands when being treated by Theresa. She really knows what she's doing and is also very intuitive and reassuring, which is as essential when...

Pilates for stress and back problems

"Having been told by my GP that the strange symptoms I was experiencing as a result of a back problem were due to stress and that I should try Pilates, I contacted Theresa Bell at Body Works. I was so relieved and elated to be told on my first appointment with her that my symptoms were real and a result of the peripheral nerves becoming inflamed due to my lower back problem. I was taught some...

Lower Back Pain

Graham, a postman, had 5 physiotherapy treatments for lower back pain. After completing his treatment he said that he would recommend Body Works for the following reasons: "I felt nervous about physiotherapy before for I came in for the first time, but the practice was warm and friendly and Theresa was smart and reassuring. Everything was explained clearly and I was given a simple exercise...

Dancer’s Lower Leg and Heel Pain

Ruby aged 9 attended 4 physiotherapy sessions for longstanding lower leg and heel pain when walking and ballet dancing. After 4 treatment sessions (which included soft tissue massage, stretches, advice and exercises to improve leg alignment, strength and calf flexibility, reduce pain and improve alignment when walking and doing ballet) Ruby was discharged by Theresa as her pain was significantly...

Pilates for Asthma

"I think many people are not aware of the importance of breathing in Pilates exercises. I have asthma, and I find the emphasis on controlled breathing very helpful, I invariably go out of the session breathing better than when I came in. When I am not well I use Pilates exercises and visualisation to help me control my breathing, and having strong core muscles and improved posture enables me to...
