Robyn Boothroyd MCSP HCPC

Robyn‘s career spans across Hong Kong, Singapore, and London and has left a trail of very happy people as you can see by the amazingly inspiring testimonials below. You can find out her top recovery tips and what to expect from treatment with her in the video below:

She is a certified Pilates for Rehabilitation practitioner which furthers her ethos of ‘let exercise be your medicine’. Coming from a background of physiology and kinesiology Robyn is able tocombine a hands–on approach of myofascial release or dry needling with the active benefits that exercise medicine brings.

She graduated from the University of Nottingham over ten years ago and then worked in a large public hospital in Singapore where she was exposed to a wide variety of acute, chronic and traumatic musculoskeletal injuries. She then transitioned into the private sector to further pursue the use of Pilates in her rehab and to continue her passion of healing through movement.

Having always taken an active interest in sports and fitness Robyn appreciates the need for clients to be able to function at their peak and stay injury free. She believes Physiotherapy and Pilates to be an excellent pairing to assist anyone recovering from injury; or to further challenge their athletic ability.

’Robyn has helped me to resolve an injury which I haven’t been able to fully recover from for years. Other physios have provided short term fixes to my back injury mainly via massage but ultimately the same problem has reoccurred. Robyn has differed by:
1) spent time assessing what causes the injury in the way I move and run
2) built a program to strengthen specific muscles and improve mobility
3) motivated me to achieve goals via a specific program.
The course of physio has been challenging but rewarding. Heavy focus on prevention over a cure and she has allowed me to take ownership of recovery through a program whilst providing expert support and guidance. I have a better understanding of my physiology and awareness of what causes injury and how to best manage it. It’s been great fun working with Robyn and I can’t thank her enough.’

‘Robyn is amazing! She has been so motivational over the past six months. Not only has my physical function and fitness returned quicker than I expected, her approach has really helped me focus mentally. She’s a very skilled professional.’

’I cannot recommend Robyn enough! At the start of my physio journey I had a lot of pain, and after several sessions I’m now pain free and also have learnt a number of strategies that I can use myself to prevent or treat the pain in the future. Robyn was great at finding the crux of the problem, being incredibly supportive and treating me with both physio and Pilates-led exercises. Plus she’s lovely and I will miss seeing her on a regular basis!’

‘I have been suffering from knee pain for nearly 10 months. I have seen two consultants and a number of physios. Nobody was able to accurately identify the issue or help with my pain management. After a steroid injection, I was recommended by the consultant and I could not be more grateful for this recommendation. Robyn was wonderful. She was clear about the recovery and action plan from the beginning, setting me attainable goals and useful ways for me to monitor my own progress between sessions. She would quiz me in every session to make sure that I understood why each exercise was necessary and how this would benefit my recovery and the outcome. My knee is almost back to normal and I just know that I could not have done this without Robyn’s help. I am leaving the area but I will definitely make sure I travel to see Robyn if I need help in the future. Do not hesitate to use her services – it was the best decision I made and I have sent two of my friends to her already. Thanks again!’

’I went to see Robyn initially after having back issues for 3-4 months which I thought would go away, but gradually got worse resulting in me waking up one day in intense pain. It took me about 30 minutes to stand up into a crooked position, I could not stand up straight and was in a bit of a panic! I just googled local physio and am so thankful that I called Reform and found Robyn. I was possibly in the wort physical state in my life, feeling really low and depressed like this might be it for the rest of my life! My first meeting with Robyn was an initial assessment, she took a great deal of time to talk to me, listen, and look me over to understand exactly what was going on. I immediately had absolute confidence in her obvious expertise in her field and knew if I followed exactly what she said, I would recover. Over four months and about 8-10 visits I can say, not only that I am fully recovered, but actually in better physical shape than I have been for over ten years or so. Robyn has taught me to be more mindful of my body and how to look after it to avoid further issues. She created a bespoke exercise plan for me which was available through an app where she would upload what I needed to do so it was really easy. She gave me advice on what painkillers to ask my GP for (neuropathies painkillers, which I had never heard of and no one had ever mentioned before) and then kept tabs on how much I was taking and advised when to start coming off the painkillers. I am truly thankful for all the work she has done, I was in a really bad place thinking that I would have issues for the rest of my life and can write this today feeling like I am 18 again!’
