About me.

My name is Elise and I’m a highly experienced MSK Specialist Physiotherapist who provides Physiotherapy, Pilates, Gym Training and Sports massage services for clients in Harrogate, North Leeds and Nidderdale.

I’m a Physiotherapist of 16+ years with over a decade of experience in pilates coaching. I have specialist training in both Mat and Reformer Pilates, with expertise in working with cyclists (at both professional and amateur levels), runners, pre- and post-natal clients, and those undergoing cancer rehabilitation.

I am a proud Mum of 2 who commits as much care, enthusiasm and skillset as possible to support my family and clients. I pride myself as an extremely professional and friendly practitioner who always wears a smile and will always endeavour to put a client’s needs and preferences at the heart of their treatment in a holistic and caring manner.

Physio Gym Training

It’s well known that resistance and strength training are crucial for body health and function, especially as our bodies mature. Despite this, many clients I support are rightly apprehensive about gym training due to an absence of understanding around which exercises they would benefit from, and also which ones would be safe for them factoring any injuries or on-going medical implications. My Physio Gym Assessment and Physio Gym Training services provide a prescription gym plan and education on how to use the necessary equipment. You can then utilise this in your own gym space, or train in small groups with me to build your knowledge and confidence.

Physiotherapy.

Many people think that physio is just there to treat an injury of fix a problem, but it actually works as a preventative method to enhance your health and lifestyle. As a Physiotherapist, I will use manual and exercise therapies to affect pain, restore movement, strengthen muscles and encourage normal movement patterns.

Physio Pilates.

Whole body, low-impact form of exercise that aims to strengthen muscles while improving postural alignment and flexibility. It is a very inclusive exercise, being suitable and adaptable for all ages and abilities.

Pre & Post Natal Care.

Supporting both pregnant and post-natal Mums with specialised Pre and Post Natal Physio check appointments, and also specialised Pre and Post Natal Pilates group classes or 1 to 1.

Cancer Care.

I am proud to support Cancer clients at any stage of their diagnosis. As a Physiotherapist with additional training as a PINC and STEEL Cancer Exercise specialist, and completion of the Pink Ribbon Programme, I have extensive knowledge and experience supporting cancer clients to find movement and exercise right for each body.

    I’ve been having weekly sports massage sessions with Elise for over 5 years and can’t recommend her enough. Her knowledge and experience when it comes to providing diagnosis and treatment of injuries is superb.

    I enjoy long distance cycling and running and wouldn’t be able much of this without her treatments and her excellent Pilates strengthening classes.

    She genuinely cares about the people she treats and teaches, and has a real passion for what she does. She’s definitely one of the best around!

    Went to see Elise about issues I had been having with my neck and shoulders for a while and no other physio has successfully addressed. She did a full sports massage and neck traction to help reduce tension and I am now virtually pain free after only a few days since treatment. She is patient, kind and really listens to what you are telling her about your symptoms. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!

    Elise has been my go to physio for years, as an ex physio myself I often know that I need is some physical intervention and Elise is just fab. She takes into account all my sports (which pull my joints in all different directions!) and puts me back on the road with various repairs.

    Her pilates instruction and support is second to none, genuinely I have done many classes and no one reaches her level in my opinion.

    Elise never fails to fix me, she’s an absolute star! I’ve had pain in my hip since December; after two visits to see Elise the pain has gone and I’m bad to my normal gym regime. I cannot recommend Elise enough. Over the years she’s helped me with my knee problems, plantar fasciitis and now my hip. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Worth her weight in gold!!

    10 years ago I was a total wreck... With some expert attention to main cause of the issues Elise did an A1 job in getting me back on track which I'm still keeping up with I've seen every witch doctor, chiro, herbalist, hospital and can honestly say she's the first to put the wheels back on this bus and make it sing. She listens, you learn and get expert advice and a programme of what to do and for what you get is very reasonable in cost and awesome in value.... Highly recommended
