Late last year I was due to take part in my first marathon in New York however, 3 weeks prior to the event my left knee swelled up for no apparent reason. What do you do when you have the one and only allotted place for your chosen charity and your flights and accommodation are booked?
I therefore consulted my brother in law who is a GP in Edinburgh and he urged me to get some intensive Physio sessions booked in. Following a recommendation I went to see chartered physiotherapist Joanne Hornsby and in the couple of sessions before I flew off to New York I can safely say she worked miracles on my knee. Joanne managed to get a lot of the swelling down and gave me a number of exercises to do to help further.
I subsequently completed the marathon however, I have no doubt that I would have not been able to do so were it not for the Physio that I received before and afterwards from Joanne.
I would like to place on record my thanks and appreciation to Joanne for helping me achieve one of my lifetime goals.
`As a sports professional Jo has been looking after me for several years now and without question she is one of the most thorough physio`s I have come across. Meticulous in her approach, Jo likes to investigate and get to the root cause of the problem. Her no nonsense, hands on approach is quite refreshing as you always feel like you are making headway. Jo is exceptionally good at working out the most complex of injures and equally good at correcting them. Very professional and highly trained with years of experience working with elite athletes, I can wholeheartedly say that Jo is top class when it comes to treatment, advice and support.`

Joanne Hornsby and her team are caring practitioners who will do their upmost to find appointment times to suit their clients needs and their professionalism certainly shone through for me on this occasion.
I have been seeing Joanne for the past ten years for treatment and
preventative maintenance massages, which helped me through twelve
ironman triathlon competitions.... Joanne's sports massages keep me
injury free and loose throughout the intensive training periods
required when racing ironman. Joanne's little fingers really go deep
into the muscles..."Ouch!!!!" Equally when I have had completed races
the post race treatment is invaluable. When I had injuries / niggles
Joanne is always able to pinpoint exactly where the problems have been and
not only treat but give good training and stretching advice with each
injury. Thanks Jo you've been awesome :-)
I have had appointments with Joanne since January 2009 for stiffness and pain in my neck. I am now 98 years old and Joanne has helped me enormously to overcome my problem. She is a caring and patient person and extremely good at her job. She is easy to get along with and we have had a strong relationship over the years.
