“Snapped my ligament in my knee – had reconstruction op. Rachel was superb.  I had previously had 2 sessions of physio through work insurance  – with a main provider. Rachel stands well ahead on those.”

Women’s Health Penarth

“I found Rachel after 7.5 years of chronic pain following an infection, several doctors and other practitioners, supplements, herbs, diets, probiotics, painkillers and countless tests & scans revealing nothing. After second appointment with Rachel things started to continually improve and I do not have any more issues with pain. Very happy and highly recommending Rachel Disley Physiotherapy.”
