Manual therapy in Bristol

“I went in for a pregnancy MOT with Rosie Cardale and have rarely, if ever, had better care. We discussed my history and my current back and pelvic pain, treatment was gentle but effective, and her advice and prescribed exercises were excellent. Such warm, supportive care! If you need anything related to pelvic health, pregnancy or postpartum I can’t recommend Rosie enough!”

“I had three months of physiotherapy with Dave Mercy starting in June 2025 to help rehabilitate my right foot following a medically necessary operation to break and re-position my heel bone following a diagnosis tibialis posterior tendinopathy with a split tear. The physiotherapy started approx three months after surgery. Dave helped me to progress from being in an air-cast boot on my first visit and unable to put my weight through my foot, onto massages to reduce and eventually eradicate the post surgical swelling in my foot, onto a range of exercises in the gym to exercise, stretch and strengthen my foot and allow me to complete everyday activities that I can now once again enjoy. The support that Dave provided was comforting in the early days and then as the gym exercises progressed, Dave was encouraging and challenged me to develop my foot strength, flexibility, and gave me the confidence to put my full weight through my foot and complete a wide range of exercises that I didn’t think would be possible. I am walking well and whilst the finer aspects of my foot recovery will take longer to achieve, for now I can walk without the pain I previously had, which is a massive achievement. Thanks Dave, you had a hugely positive impact on my level of recovery!”
