Ella’s experience training with Raasay was a great experience. She started off with knee pain and no core strength. Over the last few months Ella’s posture and core strength has improved massively including her coordination. I highly recommend Raasay to address any weaknesses or Imbalances.

I would like to just let you know what an incredible difference you have made to my
life.
I came to you as a 77 year old, both knee replacements done in the last year with
step-down and physiotherapy included, but with very little or even moderate use of
my legs as I was hoping to achieve with the replacements. I saw your ad on our site,
and even though I dislike gym intensely decided to “go for it”. That was a life
changing decision.
Within the first month my balance was restored 100% and the rest followed with the
strengthening and other exercises. A further benefit was literally seeing my flab
firming up and restoring my confidence, especially in my arms.
I recently returned from a hectic 2 week trip to Italy where I walked up to 19,000
steps a day, and I reckon I climbed Mount Everest every 3 rd day, as Italy does not
seem to do flat ground. I was able to do this and what is more enjoy the fact that I
could keep up with the family and not have to sit and wait for their return on some
bench!
I have sent your details to my surgeon who does a great number of knee
replacements and have suggested that he consider advising his clients as to the
major benefits involved in your therapy.
Thank you again Raasay for changing my life and enabling me to lead an active life
once again.

Raasay is professional and friendly. My lower back and knee pain was
relieved through massage and rehabilitation exercises. I would
recommend that any dedicated sportsperson visit Raasay on a regular
basis to address any weaknesses or imbalances.

Raasay Waters saved me from a life of pain and misery after I
developed a frozen shoulder 5 years ago...I was frozen in pain making it
impossible for me to surf, cycle, kayak, sleep or sit comfortably...over a
period of a few months she worked my frozen shoulder to the point
where life became normal again...first weekly sessions got me onto a
course of recovery...and soon I was back to being normal again...and
now I have committed myself to monthly maintenance sessions and look
forward to exercising freely knowing that if anything needs tweaking
Raasay is my first port of call....she offers a no nonsense service and
gets to the source of the problem with intuitive ease...I have
recommended her to many friends who have only returned with glowing
reports...I can highly recommend Raasay to any person who is
physically active and does not want the services of a machine toting
physiotherapist but that of an physically active therapist who provides
personalised service.

I met Raasay Waters, Sports Therapist a couple of years ago at Kelvin
Country Club, Newlands, Cape Town. Having recently joined the gym
together with a friend and needing help with an exercise program, one of
the members identified Raasay as a personal trainer. Following our
weekly sessions I find my physical strength, balance, and fitness has
improved a lot as well as my mobility Raasay is a great motivator and
keeps the sessions interesting, varied and never boring. She has a great
sense of humour and we have lots of laughs. Even during Covid
Lockdown, we were able to keep exercising via Zoom online. I highly
recommend Raasay who is patient, caring and mindful of appropriate
exercises for different age groups.

I started attending Raasay's fitness classes at Kelvin Grove Club mid to
end 2019. For the first time in years the exercise routine offered the right
combination of engagement and stretch that brought relief from a lower
back issue I have had for 8 years. Before that I had a year of classes at
biokineticists that brought almost no pain relief results so I was very
surprised and relieved.
The strengthening and stretch combo also had an unexpected and very
welcome spin-off in terms of sculpting and toning what had become a
flabby unfit middle-aged me! I am delighted at the weights I can now
handle and I can feel the beginning of a strong core, if not a six pack Lol!
After some months of specialist instruction under her guidance (including
Whatsapp and Zoom classes during lockdown) we started
physiotherapy. Raasay suggested I have a scan to rule out the
possibility of an underlying structural reason for my constant glute and
back spasms.
It turned out I had some worn intervertebral discs, that caused a nerve or
nerves to get trapped.
Thanks to her I have now embarked on addressing that issue with a
specialist.
The stretch and strength classes with Raasay will continue as part of my
pain management routine.
