TESTIMONIALS

I had an assessment appointment with Jen this week. The assessment was very thorough and unhurried. Jen was warm, engaging and very professional and I was really impressed with the way she explained what was, for me, a relatively unknown topic. I came away, reassured and more confident about managing my condition. Later that same day, I received emails containing everything we had discussed so that I can work on my issues at home. I could not be happier with the service Jen provided and would not hesitate to recommend Jen as a physio.

Had my first appointment today after my nhs physio is no longer able to do the treatment I needed on my pelvic sacrylic joint. Jen also assesed my lower back and found that was a factor in my pain and lack of movement also. she made me feel comfortable from our first phone call to the treatment I received today in a cosy environment. All I can say is thank you! and see you in December.​

I went to see Jen with sciatica and neck problems, both of which were very painful. Jen thoroughly investigated the causes and with a course of treatment including a personalised exercise program I very quickly started to feel better. Jen is passionate about her profession and offers a caring personal service. I highly recommend her.

Jen was really approachable and put me at ease straight away.
A true advocate for woman's health which I respected massively. My appointment was thorough, comprehensive and I came away with an action plan that was followed up in writing via email to enable me to have a point of reference.
Jen showed empathy and understanding and was non judgemental throughout which was much appreciated.

Jen was amazing at helping me understand my body better! She is very friendly, gifted and knowledgeable; I felt at ease working with Jen and super grateful for our time troubleshooting tricky pelvis and hamstring injuries! After following Jen's rehab advice, a hamstring injury that had been bothering me for years sorted itself out and I feel more aligned and confident about getting back to running and aerial, yay!

Jen was very informative clarified the information I already had from the consultants. And put my mind at ease. I felt jen fully understood my multiple problems and the effect it is having on my life.
She has given me practical advice to take home and offered me lots of support going forward.

Jen is an extremely knowledgeable professional. I would definitely recommend you to use Jen as she tailor's individual care during and after treatment with upmost professionalism.
Thank you Jen.

This is the 1st time I’ve used Jen, but was on good recommendation from Carol Stansfield. Jen had an appointment for me quickly and was very professional and explained the issue with my back and gave me exercises to help.

Brilliant service, will definitely be using you again!! Thank you!!

Jen was professional and attentive in her review and diagnosis, providing services to suit the problem and then emailing exercises for continuing my rehab. I would recommend using her.

Kind and effective Rehab Physio. Many thanks.

I can highly recommend Jen Stroud Physiotherapy. Jen managed to fit me in an appointment at short notice,. The initial consultation was very thorough & informative, she treated my sciatica professionally and now after a couple of days it is greatly improved. I would have no hesitation using Jen Stroud Physiotherapy again in the future.

Jen was recommended to me by other new mums I had met in Plymouth.

She is warm & friendly, really puts you at ease.

Most importantly she really knows her stuff, glad to have found her :)

A complete professional and her knowledge of physiotherapy was extensive. I have had back issues for many years and with one consultation Jen has reduced the pain. I left with a better knowledge of my back and other parts of my body as well as exercises to perform to assist further pain relief.

Would highly recommend. It’s a 10 out of 10 from me.

I do not normally write reviews, however on this occassion I feel that a very positive review is more than justified. I came away from an initial appointment extremely impressed with the depth of her enquiry concerning my condition and level of pain, the subsequent treatment plus a detailed exercise regime given me to follow. Two weeks later my condition is improving and the pain levels much reduced. Jen has also kept in contact with me to check my progress. I  am therefore  confident in recommending  a visit  to Jen Stroud for any person with back problems or sciatica.

Thank you for your email asking about my experience and treatment for a problem which I have had for several years, my right leg which on standing and walking  for a short time would go numb, this was caused by a fall. I was pleased that you were willing to give me acupuncture and exercises to help. The treatment  was pain free and you explained clearly as you went along, I was also pleased that you spoke clearly as I have hearing issues. I am hopeful that with more treatment I will have improvement and be able to stand and walk better. I rate you five.

​​​I was recommended to Jen by our neighbour following my recent hospital visit which left me severely weakened.  She showed compassion, professionalism and excellent understanding of my prolapsed disc.  The exercises she has recommended have been very good and will help strengthen my back prior to surgery.

I visited Jen last week having previously gone to an acupuncturist in Plymouth whose premises were not very clean. I found Jen’s studio to be exceptionally clean and Jen extremely professional. I am going for my second visit today for both acupuncture and physiotherapy. The studio is a little hard to find but worth the effort.

Jen has truly been an amazing find. She took time over our first phone call to discuss my problem (painful leg sciatica) and then before my initial appointment with her she phoned to check to see how I was doing. She is extremely knowledgeable, reassuring, understanding and very good at what she does. After a couple of treatments and with the exercises she has given me, my pain has significantly reduced. I feel I am getting my life back again! I would highly recommend her.

Hi I received really good treatment from Jen
She was very informative and helpful
Jen work on my neck back and shoulder which gave me great relief, also gave me exercise to do With no pressure to return I will use Jen again with no hesitations .

Jen has been a great healer, listens well to all of my concerns , has alleviated my pain. Has helped with lots of exercises and suggestions. Would highly recommend her.

Highly recommend Jen to anyone needing a physiotherapist. She is very professional but also gentle and very reassuring, and you can really tell that she really wants to make a difference to people’s lives! I was given a full exercise rehabilitation plan as well as lots of other information and advice, considering both my mind and body, which I feel has made a huge difference to my daily life in just a week. Really looking forward to see the impact of Jen’s work long term. The location of the studio is beautiful and relaxing too!

I highly recommend Jen, she diagnosed and eased my pain so quickly. She is friendly and puts you at ease and nothing is too much trouble. A very outstanding service. Thank you. 

Jen was very thorough with my treatment and talked me through the process in a calm and professional manner. Exercises were given, which proved very helpful as was the advice for the future. Treatment is still ongoing, but I am confident that with Jen’s help things will continue to improve.

When seeking a new therapist recently I came across Jen on-line but gained the impression from her website that she deals only with women’s problems. As her surgery is very close to home I telephoned to determine whether she is able to help with sciatica in (old) men. What a good decision!
My two to three week forecast from my NHS carers had become about five weeks by.the time I got to see Jen.
I found her to be knowledgeable, experienced and caring.. Whilst I would not be without some of the stream of assorted painkillers provided by the NHS, I am pleased to now be on a variety of exercises which have. enabled me to do without most of the painkillers and to start walking again.
We shall see!

I have been in a lot of pain for a number of weeks, I made contact with Jen and she fitted me in as soon as she could. I found her very understanding, she listened to my concerns and didn’t make me feel awkward at all. I found her to be very empathetic. I would highly recommend her.

I have experienced long term neck and back problems over many years, with my usual Physio retiring I set out to find an equally good replacement. After trying others I have decided to stay with Jen, she treats in a relaxed atmosphere, listens to what you have to say, and is personable and very knowledgeable - and - she does the trick every time!

I had an appointment with Jen for a C-section scar therapy session. Jen was very thorough and knowledgeable, and did a full assessment to see if my scar was having any impact on my range of mobility. During the appointment Jen used the Lymphatouch device which helped with some scar tightness I had been experiencing. Jen was able to offer some product recommendations and showed me some scar massage techniques to continue at home. Jen is very personable and made me feel at ease, and I can highly recommend booking in with her for any issues.

I have suffered a lot of pain with a hip problem and having had an x ray and consulted with my GP who referred me to the surgery Physiotherapist, nothing seemed to help. I found Jen on the internet and I didn’t have to wait long for an appointment. I attended and spent a good hour with her.  She was extremely thorough, professional and gave me excellent advice, which I had not been told by others. After my treatment with Jen, I felt like a ‘new’ woman!  No pain for the first time in months! I am continuing with her exercises and I would highly recommend Jen’s services.

I found Jen by word of mouth and she’s absolutely brilliant and made me feel totally at ease.I got an appointment within four days which was only 6 days after the injury meaning she was able to offer help and advice really quickly unlike the 5 month wait previously for an NHS physio. Jen specialises in women’s health as well which give her the advantage of a holistic approach to treatment. After my first session it was apparent that the problem in my knee was also linked to my hip so I was given exercises to help with that along with manipulation, ultrasound and help with posture. The NHS physio was only prepared to work on what I had been referred with. I would definitely recommend booking with Jen and I already have my next appointment in her diary!

I would just like to say how I found you very thorough and listened carefully to my issue with my shoulder, or as later as you pointed out, my neck which is actually the cause.

A few simple exercises and a session of acupuncture and I am feeling better already.

You are very professional and it was a great pleasure to meet you.

Having received previous Physiotherapy advice I was a little guarded as to what Jen could offer any differently. I made contact with her and received a prompt response. I then booked towards the end of April and was suitably accommodated with an appointment. From the commencement of the appointment to the end was truly professional in her approach and gave huge attention to detail in her assessment. On conclusion, Jen gave a series of exercises to carry out on a regular basis along with advising that she would be writing to the surgery with her assessment and suggestions on the way forward. Within a short time, I was contacted by the surgery and later discussed my symptoms with a Doctor. Things have now progressed and since carrying out the exercises regularly along with some help from a PT instructor I am definitely more mobile and not in so much pain. I would definitely recommend Jen.

Jen is an extremely professional and competent young lady who absolutely knows what she is doing!

Went to her with a lot of hip and ongoing back pain. She diagnosed me correctly and organised with my GP an MRI scan.

Jen then proceeded over the course of a couple of months to give treatment that helped the pain and encouragement to do the exercises

that long term  will help prevent another episode.

I will happily recommend Jen to anyone at any time.

I went to Jen in regards to my c-section scars and pelvic pains, it was really easy to book with her. After one session I noticed a big difference and Jen made me feel at ease during the whole appointment.

Jen is fantastic professional and understanding. I had a number of fertility treatments and was concerned around my health. Jen gave me a full MOT and put me at ease and recommended exercises to support. I was impressed and recommended her to my PT Amy B who has put forward more of her clients. I would highly recommend Jen and her will be going back for follow up check ups.

Very easy to book online Jen is very knowledgeable and thorough, diagnosed the problem and has given me a treatment and exercise plan which is already helping after one visit. Would definitely recommend Jen Stroud Physiotherapy with five stars.​

Saw Jen about an ankle problem. She was very helpful in finding exactly where the weakness is and tailoring an exercise programme to address it. Jen took the time to explain the issue and exercises very clearly.

Pelvic floor health issues were impacting my everyday life..Jen is professional, knowledgeable about women's health issues,very understanding, reassuring, explains things clearly and listens to you. Her kind empathetic approach along with her knowledge has been just what was needed. I've already made progress.

I highly recommend Jen for Women's health physio.

​

A comfortable, relaxing experience. I felt like Jen had many years of experience and was very thorough in consultation and treatment. She was friendly and welcoming and I immediately felt at ease. I’m very happy with the treatment and advice I received. I would highly recommend her.

The exercises are really helping and I’m already seeing a difference in my scar it’s smoother, less tight and I think there is less of a hangover so I’m really pleased! 

I’m also using the silicone strips which seem to be helping making it look less red etc.

I bring an elderly client regularly to see Jen with a back problem . She has always been so kind & considerate . The treatment she provides is first class and makes a big difference . I would highly recommended Jen for any physio needed

Jen listens and works through your treatment. Having seen Jen a few times for an ongoing issue I am seeing an improvement from the acupuncture and soft tissue treatment that seem to complement each other.

Jen is excellent. I have suffered with my lower back for years after an injury and just thought that that was going to have to be it. Using acupuncture during a flare up, Jen has reduced my symptoms immeasurably- I now rarely get sciatic pain rather than having it every day. During an acute flare up of (another) back injury, Jen’s knowledge allowed her to diagnose the issue and her methodical approach allowed early treatment to alleviate the pain.

Add into this how just simply lovely Jen is and I couldn’t and wouldn’t recommend anyone else when they require a physio.

I recently had an acupuncture and physiotherapy session for my shoulder with Jen, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Jen's expertise and personalized approach made the session incredibly effective. My shoulder feels noticeably better, and I appreciate the thorough care and attention to detail. Highly recommend Jen for anyone seeking top-notch acupuncture and physiotherapy.

Great service fitted me in promptly.. diagnosed and eased my pain would definitely recommend very friendly outstanding service
