Jenny’s testimonial: Bouncing back stronger with Zoe’s help

At the end of 2024, my packed marathon schedule and increased speed led to my first injury since 2018—a strained calf. With a race planned for January, I needed to recover quickly but safely. That’s when I turned to Zoe.

From the moment I contacted her, Zoe was brilliant. She saw me straight away, thoroughly assessed my injury, and provided targeted sports massage—focusing not only on my injured calf but also on my other leg, which had been compensating. She gave me clear advice to follow between sessions, and after just two weeks of rest (my first break since 2020!), I began rebuilding my running.

Thanks to Zoe’s expert care, I was back to my pre-injury pace by Christmas. She continued to support my recovery with follow-up treatments, including a pre-race and post-race massage. Not only did I complete my January race pain-free, but I achieved a personal best on a tough, hilly course! I was absolutely over the moon.

What sets Zoe apart is how much she genuinely cares. When my calf ‘popped’ early in my injury, she called me straight away to check in and reassure me. She regularly followed up on my progress between treatments and took a whole-body approach rather than just focusing on my legs. Plus, I could always book in quickly, which is crucial for a runner desperate to recover.

It’s only January, and I already have a PB! Having Zoe as part of my training routine for 2025 is a no-brainer—I know she’ll help me stay injury-free and performing at my best.
