I’ve worked with Denise for a long time. She has helped me with various difficulties, some of which have gone away, some will never go away.
She is cheerful, focused, patient, supportive and thorough. Always professional; I trust her completely.
She is really good at identifying the problem and setting the right exercises. Although her sessions might be hard, they are enjoyable and I leave feeling better - and always with new exercises!
A good and valued physio/person to know.

I worked with Denise to release a trapped femoral nerve in my back, she gave me lots of good advice and exercises which helped speed up the process and make me pain free.

I hurt my Achilles Tendon and gave it six weeks rest then went back to playing golf which made it a lot worse. I then went to REP physio and Denise said the main problem is not your tendon, you have a torn calf muscle. So six weeks of intensive exercises and three visits and both all healed very well to enable me to play golf and its been a great summer. A summer I would not have had if I hadn't gone to physio. Thank you so much.

You don’t have to be an athlete to have a sports massage, I am just a normal, casual gym goer who was having some pain in my shoulder that had been niggling for a number of months. At REP they are Incredibly knowledgeable and experienced therapists, Nathalie knew exactly what the solution was to the shoulder pain I was having and now I am pain free. She made me feel really comfortable throughout, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her or the other therapists at REP again.

I’ve been to see Gemma for a few different issues now, and have always had excellent experiences. She’s extremely knowledgeable, really friendly and personable, and has a great way of being reassuring while giving you the tools to get back to training.

After having lower back surgery after 20 plus years of back pain my consultant recommended that i have a meeting with Gemma to discuss my physiotherapy going forward. Having been to numerous other physios in Leicester the trip up to Nottingham once a month is more than worth the while.massive thumbs up

Gemma is a fantastic physio! She really knows her stuff and sorted out all my back/neck/shoulder problems, when other physios hadn’t!
She is thorough, caring, makes you feel at ease and absolutely know what’s she’s doing. I refer her to anyone who needs treatment!

Highly recommend Gemma, she has been helping me with on going back issues over several years. I have improved greatly with her physio & guidance now on top up sessions.

Just completed a 10 week pilates course with Sally. It was brilliant, small class size ( max 4 in a class). This allowed Sally to support us all according to our specific needs /injuries and abilities and ensure we were all getting the most out of the exercises.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend. Thanks Sally!

I’ve been coming to see Gemma for my physio Needs for a few years now and can safely say she is the best. I have tried many places who say they can help but just go through the same motions every time - whatever the injury or requirement.
With Gemma she will go above and beyond and take the time to get you on the way to recovery if she can’t resolve it in that moment - with recovery exercises or whatever it takes until the next appointment. She will also utilise the entire duration of the appointment in order to help you.
I always know that I’m in good hands and that I’ll get the results I need every time.

Gemma has successfully treated all our family for various issues, myself, husband and two teenagers over a number of years. Either for sports related issues or just age and job wear and tear problems. I can’t recommend her and her business more highly. She is extremely knowledgeable and also has a very easy and supportive manner, making you feel comfortable to ask questions. I also have ongoing preventative sessions with her to ensure we keep issues under control. I had severe pain when I first saw her and over a period of time I’m now back to full activity and movement with no symptoms.

Gemma was recommended to me and she’s so good, I travel 30 minutes each way to see her! She has helped me recover from a hamstring injury and shoulder injury that were both really affecting my day to day life.
Thanks to her expertise, encouragement and tailored rehab programme, I’m now back running pain free and can get on with daily activities without pain.
I’d definitely recommend Gemma - she’s incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and genuinely cares about her patients’ progress.

I went to REP after struggling with a chronic bout of sciatica. After spending a lot of time and money trying to find someone who could help, Gemma came to my rescue, and I never looked back.
Recovery didn’t happen overnight, but within a few months I noticed a huge improvement. Since then, I’ve continued to see Gemma and the team on a monthly basis to stay on top of any aches and pains and keep everything moving well.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gemma and the team to anyone looking for physiotherapy or sports massage treatments. They’re knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely care about their patients. They are awesome—thank you so much for everything!

Gemma has been amazing in helping me both recover from and prevent rugby-related injuries, whilst also maintaining my overall physical condition. Her expertise has enabled me to rehabilitate effectively and continue performing at my best. I would highly recommend Gemma to anyone seeking a professional, knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely caring physiotherapist.

I have known Gemma for fifteen years since she was the physio at Nottingham Rugby and she has been looking after my Complex medical issues since. Always very friendly, the ultimate professional and so knowledgeable. She makes time to discuss your medical problems and consequently treats the whole body.
Gemma has worked tirelessly to develope her business and expand it to include the skills of her colleagues to offer a larger variety of treatments.
A fantastic physio who I cannot recommend highly enough.

Gemma has helped me tremendously with my powerlifting performance. I used to get tightness in my traps and shoulders but after being treated by Gemma and following her guidance, I’m pain and tightness free. Gemma is hugely knowledgeable, she is thorough and strives to get to the root cause of the issue. I’d highly recommend Gemma and REP.

I've been seeing Gemma for a while to sort out a frozen shoulder and it's been going really well; she (and I imagine the others) are super friendly, and she clearly knows her business. The fact that the gym is there as well to practice exercises on the machines is a bonus. I strongly recommend them.

It’s hard to quantify how much Gemma has done to help me recover from surgery and her continued support since. I’ve seen a number of physiotherapists over previous years; until Gemma was recommended to me. She is far and away the best I’ve visited, consistently gaining new techniques, methods and experience to give her patients the best possible care. Friendly & professional, I absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend Gemma & R.E.P. Physiotherapy. Sessions are already reasonably priced but the value far outweighs any cost! 🦩🌊🦄 🇬🇧

I have been seeing Gemma at Restore Empower Perform for about 6 months now and can't recommend them enough. I attended with a running injury I just couldn't seem to shake with rest and basic exercises. Gemma has offered detailed insight and guidance since the first session and navigated me back to a full recovery. What I like about the service compared to other physios is that it's not just one or two quick fix sessions and signposting to exercises in the hope that you'll keep doing them. I got a diagnosis and a plan as a foundation and have continued to attend for regular sessions to keep building on that foundation to keep the risk of injury low and to work on all the other areas for improvement. Gemma has helped me stay positive and patient and I'm delighted with the outcome.

Gemma is an incredibly professional and precise physiotherapist whose expertise has been instrumental in helping my students recover from their injuries. Beyond her effective treatment, she has played a vital role in my own development by helping me better understand the complexities of sports injury rehabilitation. Her genuine care for her patients is evident in everything she does, and her guidance has empowered me to provide a significantly higher level of care for my students. I strongly recommend Restore Empower Perform Physiotherapy. 👍🏻👍🏻

I have been seeing Gemma for almost a year now, following a recommendation from a private GP. I had a problem with my right knee and through Gemma‘s thorough diagnosis, explanation and rehabilitation program, my knee is now pain-free. What surprised me the most with Gemma‘s approach to her work is the full explanation as to why things were happening within my body, going right back to surgery which I had in December 2023 and a very stressful working year, which also contributed to what was causing the problems. I am continuing to work with Gemma to build my strength and minimise injuries in the future. I would highly recommend anyone to see Gemma, she really has changed my life.

I’ve been receiving physio treatment with Gemma in response to a bad ankle break last year and the quality and service has been excellent. Gemma takes the time to really drill into not only the details of the injury itself but also the wider clinical history and, most importantly, the goals and aims to ensure that the work program is properly tailored to my needs - her background working with elite athletes shows. In my case, this was a heavy focus on getting back to competitive levels of off-road running, and this has paid off with a positive return to racing this year.
In addition, the access to the gym facilities at the clinic site is a huge benefit.
Highly recommended.

I can't speak highly enough of Gemma who I have seen for both sports massage and physio treatment in the past. Gemma is clearly highly skilled and knowledgeable when it comes to understanding the underlying causes of sports injuries and takes the holistic picture of your lifestyle into consideration.

I've been a regular client of Gemma's for many years now, and I can't recommend her services enough. I've always been very sporty, but also have scoliosis which causes mobility issues and leaves me prone to injuries. Gemma is the first physio I've ever had who has taken the time to get to the root cause of the problem and help me towards a sustainable long term solution which has helped me to get back to the sports I love injury free. When I first met Gemma I struggled with constant back pain and sciatic nerve pain, now I'm pain free in my day-to-day. Gemma has a very approachable, friendly manner and she takes her time to really figure out and get to the bottom of an issue. I like the fact that you get a good 45 minute appointment and don't feel rushed out of the treatment room, which I have experienced with other physios in the past. If you are struggling and in need of a physio, I highly recommend Gemma.

REP Physiotherapy has helped me rehabilitate from a complex ACL reconstruction.
Gemma’s knowledge, support and traditional ‘hands on’ approach have really helped me gain strength and confidence in my recovery. With access to a fully kitted out gym onsite, you can be shown exercises, so you have the confidence to put these in to practice in between sessions.
Clinic rooms are fully equipped with treatment beds, taping, acupuncture kit, skeleton demos etc.
After many many years of other physios giving me printed out exercises, seeing no progress and going to sessions feeling like a chore- REP have really been my saving grace! I feel fully supported by this genuine and knowledgeable team and cannot recommend them enough!

I have seen Gemma on and off for a couple of years now. Having initially come to see her with back issues, I ended up seeing her to help further with other issues regarding knees and feet. She got me moving better after a few sessions and I felt so much better for it.
Having a number of serious health conditions to juggle and seeing multiple clinicians and doctors, Gemma has been very patient and fantastic in advising the best exercises and discussing the best possible options for me.
We've had discussions that work in sync with hospital treatments and talks that I have with different doctors and practitioners. Gemma happily takes on the advice I've been given from hospital and really listens to any concerns I may have. I find that to be an excellent quality.
I'm always keen to gain her insight, whether it's the right exercises that can help, just having a chat about general aches to the right kind of trainer that could assist with movement 👍
Definitely recommend Gemma for physiotherapy 👍

I’ve had physio from Gemma for a number of years and she has always provided a highly professional and outstanding level of service. Gemma is always thorough, personable and compassionate in her approach and she always explains treatments clearly. I love the fact that she has given me a wide range of home exercises (and videoed them to ensure correct technique) which have been a massive help in my day to day life. Gemma’s expertise and more importantly her level of care is second to none, she is one very special physio.

I have been having treatment with Gemma for quite sometime now due to several conditions that need maintenance. She’s the best! Having needed physio help most of my life I’m certainly qualified to say that. Gemma takes time to assess one’s needs as a whole person not just the ‘bit that hurts’. She’s so comfortable to be with, incredibly skilled in her work and very professional. She advises me about home exercises and so patiently explains how things are connected hence causing pain in different areas. Always very reassuring. Wonderful sense of humour!! Travelling to see her on a regular basis is certainly worth it.

I was first recommended to see Gemma after a two spinal surgeries and was experiencing a lot of muscle spasms and general pain. Initially I saw Gemma once a week and within 4 weeks I was straightened up and feeling more positive. Four weeks later, I was getting to be pain free and had better range of movement. I now book in once a month to keep me 'topped up' and iron out the tense muscles.
I had a re-visit to a different Consultant (I had been waiting for this appointment) and the MRI scan showed a vast improvement from the previous one! Spinal discs were more aligned, a lot less free fluid and a healthier spine overall. The Consultant said to keep doing what I was as it was working!
Gemma has given me education on how to move and adjust, practical lessons and theraputic moves to keep things flexible and I have seen her once a month for over 2 years.
I can highly recommend REP Physiotherapy, they (and Gemma especially) has kept me moving, prevented further surgery and given great advice and coping strategies for when I have a bad day. It's also given me the confidence to get back in the gym and move more!

Such an amazing team of therapists. Excellent set up. I have seen 2 of the physios and also doing the Pilates classes. The whole experience has been life changing. Gemma and sally are observant, compassionate and incredibly skilled in their approach and understanding of my needs. Would highly recommend to anyone needing physiotherapy.
