What Lightwater Physiotherapy patients are saying
Shirley-Ann has changed my life! I recommend her to everyone I know who needs TLC, physically and/or psychologically. My sessions here are the high spot of my week. 

Claire, Frimley 
Shirley-Ann is an excellent physiotherapist – I have recommended her to all my friends. 

Erica, Ascot    
Shirley-Ann has helped me a lot with my knee pain! I will come and see her again and cannot praise her enough.

Erma, Lightwater 
Shirley-Ann has created a very comfortable ambience and environment in her treatment room.  Much of this comes from the positivity and warmth that are a part of her persona.  I found Shirley-Ann to be both gentle and at the same time assertive in pushing me to complete my exercises each week.  It was the first and only time that anyone in the medical profession has motivated me to push myself further than the minimum level suggested!  She employed a number of different techniques and I experienced a measurable improvement in the range of movement in my shoulder each week.  I was very impressed and have since recommended Shirley-Ann to several friends. 

TR, Bagshot
I have been using Shirley-Ann Walters for a number of years now for sports based injuries. Initially it was for a fractured shoulder whilst skiing and more recently a lower back injury whilst playing squash. Each time Shirley-Ann quickly got to the root cause of the pain and the required treatment quickly. Shirley-Ann has an extremely empathetic manner about her and makes the treatment sessions interesting and enjoyable, whilst enabling a quick recovery. In a strange way I am looking forward to my next injury so that I can use Shirley-Ann again.  

Gary, Sunningdale
I have been very pleased with the treatment that I have received from Shirley-Ann, she always talks about the problem before commencing any treatment. Whatever problem I go to her with she is able to sort me out.

Joy, Lightwater
Shirley-Ann has been my physiotherapist and has treated my whole family for over 20 years. She is professional in her conduct, however she offers a great deal more. She is caring, attentive and takes time to listen. Shirley-Ann will always take the time to discuss the treatment she feels is best for me and is always open to my considerations. In today’s world where they say time is money being treated by Shirley-Ann is truly an uplifting experience even if I have come to see her with pain! Her own self-development enriches the treatment she offers me as a patient. 

Alison, Windlesham
The treatment I received for RSI from Shirley-Ann was of very real benefit.

Chris, Sunninghill.
Shirley-Ann I'd like to express my gratitude to you for the treatment sessions I had with you.  At a very 'needy' time in my life you impressed upon me on multiple levels the importance of personal well being. Your practical skills nurtured my physical pain, your nutritional advice promoted a nourishing and sustaining diet, most importantly I felt you took great care to understand my individual needs and that special detail made all the difference.  Needless to say I was extremely satisfied and restored to good health.  Thank you.

Robin, Camberley
Hi Shirley-Ann, Thank you for the Treatment yesterday. It was wonderful and I’ve spent today doing many things that I’ve been putting off for weeks. Suddenly I felt more proactive.

Keely, Windlesham 

I cannot Thank you enough for your care and treatment – the impingement in my shoulder has been amazing in such a short space of time. Your holistic approach is both healing & relaxing and I immediately felt the benefits of seeing you.
I have given your name to many of my friends! Many Thanks for your care Shirley-Ann., much appreciated. 
 
Carol, Windlesham. 

I have visited Shirley-Ann on several occasions for a range of treatments and have always found her professional, highly skilled and above all helpful in treating my injuries. 
I highly recommend Shirley-Ann for any kind of physiotherapy treatments required. She also offers a range of complementary treatments that are also very effective.
 
Richard, Fleet.

 
I am a cancer patient with a lot of scar tissue from several surgeries and had 6 sessions on a weekly basis with Shirley-Ann and my treatment has more than met my expectations. 
 
I would highly recommend Shirley-Ann, she is a very empathic listener and quickly puts you at ease. She understands your needs, explains simply & clearly what treatment she will carry out, all in a homely and comfortable environment (I still love the heated blankets!).
 
Within a few sessions I had a lot more mobility and more confidence in what I was able to do. I'd previously had Deep Tissue massage with other physios which was quite painful and uncomfortable, Shirley-Ann's treatments were very gentle but effective. 
 
Carla,  Camberley

Video Session feedback – March 2020
  
"I have just experienced a remote session by Skype with Shirley-Ann. It was a beautiful session where I could feel the support and a deep stillness and settlement in my body as tension released from different areas. We may be in 'lockdown' and 'self-isolation' at home but there was a strong feeling of freedom and connection throughout. "

After damaging my shoulder muscle following a minor skiing accident, and an MRI scan to indicate the problem, I was referred to Shirley-Ann for treatment. Her understanding of the symptoms and her diagnosed treatment worked perfectly and within a few weeks I was back to normal fitness playing racquet sports again. I decided to visit Shirley-Ann again for a sports massage some time later, and again a fantastic service and made me feel amazingly well.  On top of that, it is a real pleasure to be in Shirley-Ann’s company, very easy to talk to and very caring.  Thank you and best of luck in all of your future work. 

M A, Bracknell
I have known Shirley-Ann for a few years, and found her to be a very open and honest person.

As a physiotherapist, she helped me through all my aches and pains, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs treatment.

Mike, Sandhurst
After many years of physio treatments for one ailment or another, the information given to me by Shirley-Ann, both in layman terms and technical terms is first class and enables me to understand a little more about why the injury occurred and more importantly how to make it stronger in the future. I feel very happy to recommend Shirley-Ann to friends and family" 

SR, Egham
I contacted Shirley-Ann recently about a foot injury which I had had a few weeks. She saw me promptly and soon identified the symptoms and provided the necessary relief.

Touch wood, the injury has not re-occurred again!

On the basis of my experience, I would recommend Shirley-Ann to other potential clients.

Will, West End
I have been a patient of Shirley-Ann for sometime now and originally called her in desperation from work one day when I could hardly stand up and the pain I was experiencing from my lower back was both debilitating and draining. She told me to come straight away. My first visit was fantastic. What a lovely lady with a huge wealth of experience and compassion. At the start of treatment she made me feel so at ease that I felt that I had known her for years.

I am very much into complementary therapy and Shirley-Ann treats not only your physical problem but encourages you through chat to make changes in your life style. Like many of us my life is demanding and in the past I have found it difficult to say 'No' to people, which causes stress and then more pain.

My treatment encompasses ultra sound coupled with gently massage and chat. On the first day I saw Shirley-Ann I could hardly stand straight or sit easily as my back was in trauma.  When the treatment was over there was a marked difference both physically in movement and mentally.

I look forward to my treatments and go back on a regular basis for 'maintenance'. I can certainly say that my back problem, although will never mend itself, has improved and I have certainly altered aspects in my life. I can now say 'No'.

I cannot thank Shirley-Ann enough for the help she has given me. She is marvelous.

Denise, Lightwater
Just to say thank you that was such a valuable hour with you this afternoon. I walked home raising my arm into the air every few hundred metres just for the thrill of it! 

Mary, Lightwater
Thank you so very much for the treatment you have so lovingly given me.
Not only have you helped my back, you have lifted my spirits too!!!
It has been a Joy coming to your home which is filled with an air of tranquillity and filled with your healing love! Thanks a million.
 
MSG Bagshot (An International Low Back Pain Case Study Initiative client for Connective Tissue Therapy)

I have greatly benefitted from your expertise in Esoteric Therapy and Healing Techniques to the extent that I feel totally transformed and back to myself again – for the first time in many years – for which I have to thank you most sincerely.
When I came to you I could hardly walk, let alone run, I was limping and had vey low energy levels and other symptoms. Thanks to you and your methodology I was able this summer to walk/hike up and down the Alps, and increased my capacity for riding a bike much further than I had been able to do for over 8 years! 
Your interest in me, my wellbeing, your enthusiasm and caring personality has supported me more to think about myself and my own needs which in turn has enabled me to find a much better balance and level of happiness in my life. 
If things change I very much hope that you will see me again and do your magic! In deep gratitude and with love. 
 
Inge, Lightwater. 


​After a treatment with Shirley-Ann I feel three inches taller and ten years younger!

Video Session feedback – March 2020
  
I would like to share my experience of my first physiotherapy session via Skype.
Shirley-Ann rang me at my appointment time and off we went. 
After we went through my records with Shirley-Ann to confirm if there had been any changes she conducted a thorough discussion about how I had sustained the injury to my shoulder and a full explanation from me of the pain and limitations that I have been experiencing. 
I was asked to try several movements exactly as I would have in her treatment room and to adjust my screen and body position to get the correct view of these movements.
Shirley-Ann demonstrated a couple of exercises that I could do and made the relevant suggestions for self help that I could administer at home.
The whole experience was as if I was there I person but with no physical contact.
I was totally happy that a thorough assessment was made and advice given for me to move forward in my recovery.
