Fantastic experience: Getting in touch with Kerry has been a game changer. I have suffered back problems on and off for some years and have tried various chiropractors, physios, acupuncturists etc… all with limited success. The improvement in a very short space of time with Kerry has been incredible. I feel like a new person… not an ache or pain to be had! Kerry was also excellent in dealing with my ankle after surgery… clued up, patient, and on hand with loads of advice and guidance. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
Thank you David. So glad you are now back ready for all your activities.
Fantastic experience: Kerry was so kind and understanding helping me with a long standing issue. She explained the exercises well and adapted them if I struggled with the levels Highly recommend
Thank you Jane it has been a pleasure treating you
Fantastic experience: Amazing service by Kerry, first time I see a physiotherapist and she is amazing, highly recommended
Thank you for the review Mauricio
Fantastic experience: Throughly enjoyed my first 1:1 reformer session with Kerry. The studio space itself was calm, inviting and Kerry was exceptionally knowledgeable, patient and professional. Will be returning for more sessions. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the review. It has been great working with you.
Fantastic experience: informative, friendly and a great intro to reformer p.
Hi Martin, glad you enjoyed your session.
Fantastic experience: Okay... so 5 months later I no longer need treatment for the chronic shoulder pain I've put up with since last year. Kerry's personalised programme of weights/resistance mentioned below really worked. Couldn't recommend her more highly! April 2025 Excellent first session with Kerry hoping to sort rotator cuff injury: careful and detailed examination, followed by a proper diagnosis (at last!) and a plan of action and treatments to deal with it. Kerry a very empathetic and confident practitioner.
Thank you for the kind review Neil, its great working with you
Fantastic experience: Kerry was fantastic, it was easy to book an appointment and she gave brilliant professional treatment and advice, would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I have a chronic lower back problem and Kerrie has been my Physiotherapist for many years. She is an excellent hands on therapist and has greatly helped me maintain a high level of mobility.
Fantastic experience: A great session from Kerry who managed to unlock my tight hips and get muscle tension released. She took the time to understand what I needed and ensure my treatment was correct. Make her your go to resource!!
Fantastic experience: Kerry offered a very friendly and professional service, and managed to provide me an appointment at fairly short notice. I felt reassured by Kerry's level of knowledge and diagnosis of my knee issues. She also provided me with a training plan and the app is very easy to download and use.
Fantastic experience: I took my daughter to Kerry to consider how to improve her core stability and reduce the risk of future injuries. Kerry conducted a thorough assessment and came up with a set of initial exercises for her to carry out, which were at the appropriate level and which are starting to get my daughter to be able to control her core.
Thank you Chris for great review, glad you have found the sessions beneficial
Fantastic experience: Kerry is an excellent physio and pilates instructor. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone! Thanks so much for all your support so far Kerry!
Thank you Holly, its been great working with you.
Fantastic experience: Kerry is lovely and gave a very thorough assessment. I felt she really listened to what I want to achieve with my physio. I'm looking forward to seeing my progress.
Thank you for the review Jess, look forward to continuing to work with you.
Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I came across Kerry! I'd been trying to find someone who could help me with my back problems for months and had really been struggling. Kerry is very knowledgeable, thorough, patient, she listens and is always able to come up with solutions that suit your individual needs. She has been able to explain things to me that others have not. Kerry would be a very very easy recommendation for me to make and I am very happy working with her.
Thank you Emily for the kind review
Fantastic experience: Kerry was recommended to me after I had been struggling with a back and glute injury from CrossFit for a while. Kerry was able to find the cause of my issue and offer me a tailored exercise plan that helped me improve quickly. Within weeks, I had seen a great improvement with my injury. Kerry is friendly and professional, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a physio! Thank you Kerry!
Thank you Kate for the review, it has been great working with you
Fantastic experience: Kerry was absolutely amazing. She listened to my concerns and my queries, spent a lot of time really understanding my injury and gave me helpful guidance and optimism for my injury to heal. Looking forward to continuing my sessions with her.
Fantastic experience: Lucky to have found Kerry through google searching! I tore two ligaments in my ankle on holiday and there was nothing the NHS could offer so I was so relieved after my first appointment with Kerry that she could help me. Kerry supported me through the recovery period, giving me confidence week by week and helping me with physio exercises to complete. Kerry is really lovely, good at remembering things we had discussed, she was very professional but she also pushed me too. Would highly recommend her to anyone in the local BCP area :)
Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to be recommended to Kerry. Kerry was instrumental in my recovery from my broken arm/shoulder and worked very closely with me to ensure this. Kerry is highly professional, highly experienced, caring and has such a sunny disposition. Kerry turned my initial dread of having to have physio, into me looking forward to our weekly sessions in her warm and inviting garden studio, as well as guiding and encouraging me to fulfil my exercises without it feeling like a burden. What a pleasure. Thank you Kerry for everything you have done for me. I cannot recommend you highly enough ☺
Fantastic experience: I was suffering from what I thought was a sore upper left back but after a consultation with Kerry we discovered it was being caused by an incredibly stiff neck that I had just adapted to over a long time without realising. She explained the root causes after a chat about my daily routine and demonstrated which exercises would best help. Kerry was really polite and professional and I have a few more sessions booked in to make sure the problem doesn’t reoccur.
Fantastic experience: Kerry has a lovely home studio, she is very warm, non-judgemental, welcoming and friendly. She is working wonders on a long-standing injury. I would definitely recommend her.
Fantastic experience: Kerry knew instantly what the problem with my hip was. She has massively helped me understand why it was clicking and how to stop it happening. She is very approachable and sympathetic, I can't thank her enough.
Fantastic experience: I am a keen runner but when training for a marathon was really struggling with my knee. Kerry was a life saver, listening to me, providing exercises and acupuncture in a relaxed environment, which helped me strengthen my knee ready for the marathon. Would definitely recommend Kerry.
Thank you Paul for the great review, I am so glad we got you through the Marathon and even better achieved a PB!
Fantastic experience: Kerry has been such an important part of my recovery from major surgery. She deals with not only the specific exercises I need to improve my strength and stamina, but also helps me manage my overall energy levels so I see sustainable progression. Highly recommended.
Thank you Bex for such a lovely review, its been great working with you and seeing your progress.
Fantastic experience: Kerry has magic hands. She helped my cricked neck so well. It was like she has X-ray vision and can literally see what’s wrong. Her treatment was first class. A super therapist, I will be back. Thank you.
Suzie it was a pleasure to help you, thank you for the kind review.
Fantastic experience: Small friendly Pilates class. Suitable and inclusive for all abilities. Kerry is very knowledgable.
Fantastic experience: Superb physio. Got to the cause of my lingering injury. Great series of sports massages but more importantly a tailored recovery plan that worked. Also gave me ongoing plan to strengthen and prevent recurrence of injury. Very professionally, friendly, knowledgeable and effective. Have booked a years massages so pleased.
Thanks for the great review James, glad to have helped and continue to help. Most importantly well done for all the hard work you have put into your recovery.
Fantastic experience: Kerry is super friendly and caring. She makes you feel comfortable, but challenges you compassionately to get you to where you need to be to get better. I’d recommend her services to everyone!
Fantastic experience: Kerry is a fantastic physio, she is very professional. After my treatment, I was instantaneously relieved. Highly recommended Kerrys practice.
Thank you Rob for the kind review.
Fantastic experience: Kerry is an amazing and highly professional physiotherapist. I have a chronic unstable ankle and a nerve injury. Since I have being under her care my quality of life has improved immensely, as I am able to be much more active. She is caring, friendly, always positive and supportive specially in the down moments and challenges I face. I could not recommend her more. Muchas gracias Kerry.
Thank you Angelica it is a pleasure to work with you, sessions are always so enjoyable and you are doing amazing in your improvements.
Fantastic experience: I booked Kerry for a sports massage after being pregnant as my back was suffering, she made me feel so welcome and went through everything and asked about the areas that hurt. The massage was amazing and I instantly felt relieved from pain it was just what I needed. I also did a reformer session with Kerry which was brilliant, I felt like I had a full body work out and it was great fun at the same time. I highly recommend kerry, she is welcoming, patient and really cares about you as a client. She is highly trained in her field and knows what she is talking about. Thank you so much Kerry.
Thank you for the lovely review Roxanne, it was great to see you children during the reformer session too.
Fantastic experience: Friendly efficient class, enjoy exercise’s atmosphere good for all levels.
Thank you for the kind words Elaine, great to see you each week and showing great improvements
Fantastic experience: I booked to see Kerry after 6 months of suffering with a lower back/glute injury, previously I had seen a chiropractor and another physiotherapist who couldn't identify or provide the correct treatment. I was at the point of despair with my injury as it really limited me from living my usual very active lifestyle. Kerry is highly professional and an expert in her field, she quickly identified the root cause of my injury and created a bespoke exercise plan for me to follow. My injury quickly improved and after a few weeks I was injury free. It was a pleasure working with Kerry, she is friendly and gave great advice to help me stay injury free in my training. It's super to work with someone who really cares and is passionate about helping people. Huge thanks Kerry!
Thank you for the review Tom, glad you have returned back to Cross Fit!
Fantastic experience: I went to see Kerry regarding my clicking hips, which had become more frequent and prevented me doing certain exercises. Kerry was so knowledgable but also extremely approachable and helped me to understand the root of the problem so I could fix it before it caused any further issues. It was great to have her professional help and guidance on strengthening exercises, which gave me reassurance and motivation going forwards. She really takes the time to assess you as an individual and prescribe tailored physiotherapy programs. Would definitely recommend. In fact I already did to my husband who saw her about an injured ankle and was equally pleased with the service!
Thank you for the great review Faye, hope you have stayed consistent with your exercise program.
Fantastic experience: Knows her stuff; lovely and relaxed; good advice and support after
Thank you for the review Matt, I hope you understand your injury better now.
Fantastic experience: After a fall off my horse a few months ago, I set up some sessions with Kerry for mobility rehabilitation purposes. Kerry was kind enough to offer me a short notice initial appointment and offered different treatment plans from acupuncture to massages. Moreover, she creates tailored exercise plans for clients to help them continue their recovery at home. I thoroughly recommend Kerry from South Coast Physio & Pilates, and plan on returning to keep my skeletomuscular wellbeing in check, especially as my main sport can be quite traumatic on the body. Thank you Kerry!
Thank you for the lovely review Zoe, so glad your back horse riding.
Fantastic experience: Kerry saw me at very short notice and gave a fantastic service. I am still awaiting hospital scan results but this session has given me the confidence to start moving by following the prescribed exercises. Thank you.
Thank you for the review Laurence, so glad I could give you the confidence for a early, quick recovery.
Fantastic experience: Kerry is fantastic, she was the third Physio I saw for an injury and I have seen incredible results since seeing her from October 2021. Kerry takes the time to listen and is exceptionally talented at diagnosing the problem and working out underlying issues and thinks outside the box where needed. I have complete faith in Kerry who has built me up to where I'm completely pain free but also ensured I could still train safely whilst I was injured by providing modifications and guidance. Thanks so much for everything you do.
Thank you Shelby for the lovely review, its been great working with you.
Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Kerry enough; she went out of her way to fit me in for an appointment before I went away back in August. She was very professional and knowledgeable, and was able to identify the issue straight away. I wouldn't go elsewhere!
Thank you Larissa, so glad you got in touch and I could help. Take care.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Kerry for Physio! I've had two really effective treatments for back and shoulder pain 6 months apart. Kerry gives great aftercare advice and is always really professional. This is by far the most effective treatment I've had for back pain over the last 4 years!
Thank you Nicole, great you have seen such a benefit! :)
Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Kerry highly enough. With my shoulder problem, she pinpointed the real problem, released the tightness, sorted out my pins and needles and gave me the exercises I needed to prevent the problem from coming back. If you're looking for a competent, friendly physio, don't look any further.
Thank you for your review Vincenzo. Keep up with your exercises for future injury prevention.
Fantastic experience: In recent years I have had two leg injuries which Kerry helped me to recover from. She set specific exercises for each of the injuries to speed the recovery and wrote them down for me which I found very useful. Both injuries meant I was not able to drive, so the fact that Kerry comes to the house was a godsend. After treating my leg, she showed me a safe way to get downstairs, how to get out of the bath - and how to get in and out of my rather high bed without causing pain in my leg. This would not have been possible without home visits. I will not hesitate to call Kerry if I have any further muscle or joint problems - I think she is marvellous and can’t recommend her highly enough.
Thank you very much for your kind words Christine. Take care
Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed the virtual Pilates class, Kerry was a great teacher and the steps were easy to follow. The small session size was perfect and meant she could answer any questions and give individual feedback.
Thank you for your review Rhian. I look forward to seeing you in future classes.
Fantastic experience: Kerry is a fantastic physio. Very thorough and considerate. Follow up has been great including rehab exercise programming. Can’t recommend her enough.
Thank you for your review Ollie. Keep up the hard work.
Fantastic experience: I cannot recomend South Coast Physio and Pilates enough! Kerry is an excelent professional, she goes the extra mile to make sure my recovery is in a good track. If I need a more short notice session she tries to accomodate it. I've recently also tried the pilates classes and they have helped me so much, she ensures that everyone is doing the exercises correctly and acomodates for everyone's problems. Best service possible!
Thank you for your review Sofia. I will always do my best to fit you in as soon as I can :) I look forward to seeing you in the next Pilates class.
Fantastic experience: Kerry is a great physio whose knowledge has really helped me rehabilitate after an injury.
Thank you for your review Dave. Keep up with the exercises and the hard work will pay off.
Fantastic experience: Kerry is absolutely fab! Made me feel so comfortable and has really helped me!!
Thank you for your kind words Hennie. I am glad you found our session beneficial.
Fantastic experience: Attended a brilliant group Pilates session outdoors run by south coast physio and pilates. Kerry is very professional and approachable. Other instructors will just give all of you the same exercise despite ability which means some aren’t challenged enough and others risk injury. Kerry tailored the exercises to the individual’s ability which is what we had hoped for and everyone felt they had a good workout. We will be booking as a group regularly from now on!
Thank you for your review Laura. I am really glad your team enjoyed the session. I look forward to seeing you all again soon.
Fantastic experience: “I am thoroughly enjoying the pilates classes, so much so that I also booked a 1:1 physio session to further explore an old injury. Kerry’s attention to detail but well explained treatment plan means I am already seeing the benefits. Thank you Kerry!”
Thank you for your lovely review Nicki. I am so glad to hear you are already seeing the benefits. I look forward to seeing you at the next Pilates class.
Fantastic experience: Attended virtual pilates sessions, Kerry has a very professional manner and makes the steps clear and easy to follow. Small sessions enabled tailored feedback even in a virtual setting. Would recommend and will continue to attend
Thank you for your review Megan. Its great to see you each week in the Pilates classes, I love your dedication. Keep up the hard work.
Fantastic experience: I recently had a wonderful physio massage from Kerry at South Coast Physio and Pilates. It was one of the best massages I've had in a long while! I've also had some physiotherapy with her on my elbow that I was having issues with. Having seen multiple physios throughout my journey with my elbow recovery I feel confident in saying that Kerry gets the balance right on how far to push me (as some previous physios had been so gentle I didn't feel like they were doing much at all). I've also attended a couple of the pilates classes which were great - the guidance on how to move through the poses was well done (cause I hadn't really tried pilates much before). Thanks! :)
Thank you for your review Emma. I am glad you enjoyed your massage. I am happy to hear you feel you have been progressing and we have got the balance right.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend!! Professional, friendly and really know their stuff!! The sessions were fun, informative and worked wonders on my dodgy knee. Thank you !!
Thank you for your review Hannah. Glad I could help with your knee.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic sports massage and acupuncture on my shoulder after injuring it at work, Kerry got it moving freely and pain free in no time!! Would highly recommend her to anyone, incredibly knowledgable, super approachable and a very competitive price!
Thank you Tom for your review. I am glad your shoulder is now painfree.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend it ladies and gents. She is extremely professional, answers every question you may have and explains everything to the last details, breaking it down for you to understand. All of this with an affordable price and a great after care, you really couldn't ask for more. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my physio and I can't wait to do a pilates class.
Thank you Jordana for such a lovely review. I am glad I have been able to help you understand your injury.
