Body in Balance Physiotherapy

I wholeheartedly recommend Ivana. She is such a skilled physiotherapist and all around wonderful person. Ivana has helped no end with my complex injuries. If it weren’t for Ivana’s knowledge and instinct my journey could have looked very different, I’m so grateful. What I’ve really benefited from is how Ivana looks holistically at your whole body rather than individual injuries. If you want have a Physio who truly cares about your outcomes, Ivana is your person!

I first made an appointment with Ivana, who had been highly recommended to me by a friend of mine, for some acute pain in my right glute. Ivana was quite quickly able to identify a number of areas that were a cause of concern, and through a combination of massage and exercises, was able to put together a comprehensive treatment plan. The results were fantastic - I wasn’t experiencing the same level of glute pain, but I also had a much better awareness of my body and movement. We have since moved on to exploring breath work, which is integral to my yoga practise, and helping to release some long held tension in other areas of my body. Even after just one session I could feel the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ivana - she is extremely professional and welcoming, and her breadth of knowledge is incredible. She’s fantastic!

I've been to see Ivana a few times now, each visit addressing different issues. My first appointment was to help with muscle separation and core strengthening after the birth of my daughter. The second visit was for a sports massage. Tonight, however, was the first time I went because of acute pain in my right rib area, a pain I had been dealing with for weeks. Ivana quickly identified several areas of concern and, through a combination of massage and exercises, put together a comprehensive treatment plan. The results were fantastic—even after just one session tonight, my pain has significantly decreased. It's amazing! The rib problem stemmed from long-held tension in other areas of my body. Ivana's expertise and thorough approach made an immediate difference. The pain is now at its lowest in weeks! Body in Balance is like a hidden gem! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ivana—her professionalism and warmth make every session a positive experience. Her extensive knowledge and expertise are truly impressive. She’s like a well-kept secret, but she deserves to be widely known for her exceptional skills.

Out for dinner with friends it was obvious to them I was really struggling with shoulder pain. I explained how debilitating it had been for months, and they recommended I make an appointment to visit Ivana. At the first visit Ivana took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, to see how my movement was affected, the intensity of the pain and where it came from. She took care to understand how it affected me when working, and when at home. She even considered my work - life balance to try and create a personalised treatment programme based around my fairly hectic lifestyle. During the last 3 months or so I have visited Ivana about 7 or 8 times, during each visit she monitors progress, checks the severity of pain, massages the shoulder and upper arm and then creates a bespoke programme of exercises I can do at home in between visits. The results have been frankly remarkable, I am now virtually pain free, and have almost full range of movement. Thanks to my friends for recommending Ivana, I would most certainly echo their recommendations, she is a first class physiotherapist, freeing me from chronic pain.

I decided to come here after several years of pain and discomfort following an injury - one of the best decisions I've ever made! Ivana is excellent - she is very knowledgeable, approachable and clearly takes great pride in her results. Her approach worked wonders for me, right from the first session, and she helped me understand how to maintain her good work. I have had treatment on the NHS and abroad before but it simply does not compare to this level of attention and expertise.
