I've carried old, chronic injuries for years, the kind you learn to live with, quietly ignoring them until they flare up badly enough to force your hand. I happened to be passing through Exeter over the weekend and, by pure chance, spotted an available appointment with Rosie. On impulse, I decided to book in for a 90-minute deep tissue session and get all my troublesome areas, neck, shoulders and spine, properly looked at.
From the moment I arrived, Rosie was incredibly warm, friendly and welcoming. What really stood out was how thorough she was before even starting the treatment, taking her time to understand the history behind the injuries, asking the right questions and genuinely listening rather than rushing straight in. Her knowledge was evident and it gave me real confidence that I was in good hands. She adapted her approach to each problem area, applying exactly the pressure and technique needed rather than offering a one-size-fits-all treatment. You could tell she truly understands the body and how old injuries carry themselves over time.
Coming out of that 90 minutes, I felt like a renewed man, lighter, looser and more mobile than I have in a long time, yet at the same time more grounded and aware of those old injuries in a way that felt constructive rather than painful. A huge thank you to Rosie for such an amazing treatment, honestly, if it weren't for the distance, I'd be booking regular sessions just to keep things maintained. If you're in the Exeter area and carrying tension or long-standing injuries, I'd highly recommend Rosie!

I found myself with 90 minutes to kill in Exeter, and being aware of tension in my back and neck, I searched for recommended massage therapists in the city centre. To my very good fortune, Fran had had a cancellation for that afternoon so 20 minutes after getting off my train I was checking into Barefoot Physio.
Fran was welcoming and friendly and not at all phased by an impromptu booking from a frazzled traveller just off the London train. I had a deep tissue massage focused on my neck, shoulders and back. It was an excellent treatment and not only did I feel physically light, I slept like a baby that night. Fran also followed up with some very helpful video guides to some self-guided wellbeing practices, which very much appreciated and definitely ‘above and beyond’ customer service when I’m a one-off out of town booking. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a friendly welcoming therapist with strong hands and a warm smile.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this Catherine - I’m really glad the timing worked out and that we could help ease some of that travel tension.
It was a pleasure meeting you, and I’m so pleased the treatment helped you feel lighter and sleep better that night. I’m also glad the follow-up videos were helpful - even for one-off visits, I always hope clients leave with something useful they can take away with them.
Wishing you comfortable travels ahead, and you’d be very welcome back anytime you’re in Exeter again.

I went to see Victoria after I had my first baby for a ‘mummy MOT’ and she was amazing. She really listens and tailors her advice and support. I knew second time around there was no one I would trust more with my postpartum recovery and immediately signed up to her Pilates classes. I haven’t been disappointed - the classes are just as supportive and it is great that I can take my baby with me and ease back into fitness in a non judgmental environment. The classes cover exactly what you need and are adapted to meet the needs of those attending - truly fantastic!
Victoria provides an amazing service, she is holistic in her support and has excellent knowledge around women's health. After coming to the appointment feeling a bit wobbly, Victoria made me feel seen and provided lots of support and assurance to help me feel stronger postpartum. I wish I went to see her sooner!
This is the second injury I have had and both times Ellie is a brilliant physiotherapist. She has helped me fully recover from a hip injury and is now helping me with a lower back injury. Ellie has a friendly and professional manner about her and gives a diagnosis followed by a clear exercise and treatment plan. Every exercise shown and explained what and why it's being used, access to an app with all videos off the exercises you have to do.
I have been running for the past 3 years and decided to race in the past 2 years. After a recent race I developed peroneal tendinopathy which is inflammation on the foot tendon. An injury I had never faced before. After some great recommendations from my run club I booked an initial assessment with Elly Skinner who was really professional and gave simple breakdown of the symptoms and we created a recovery schedule involving strengthening and stability of the affected areas. Needless to say after following the program I finished Exeter Half Marathon with minimum pain and now preparing myself for the Great Western Run! I would definitely recommend Barefoot Physio if you need individual and professional advice.

Amazing experience here! i've been struggling with tendon pain in both my Achilles on and off for years, and it got so bad last summer i could hardly walk. Elly was able to prescribe simple exercises that immediately provided relief and also long term healing. im now starting running again which i never thought id do. Cant recommend enough, if you've got pain, go and get it sorted!
I am a cyclist with knee pain that has been keeping me off the bike. Rebecca spent the time necessary to confidently diagnose the issue before providing effective treatment and further exercises for me to do at home. Very impressed with the whole experience. Highly recommended.

I have really benefitted from and enjoyed working with Elly. I have had longstanding difficulties with my ankle and recently injured it running. Elly has helped in creating a structured but realistic plan, cheering the little milestones and improvements made. She has been really helpful in her positivity and her understanding that physio exercises have to slot into the rest of my life. Finally, things are actually wildly improved with my ankle and running and overall strength. I very much recommend Elly and Barefoot!

Had a great deep tissue massage at Barefoot. John was knowledgeable and took the time to understand my specific issues and priorities in advance; and also provided some advice at the end. Would not hesitate to recommend!
Really happy with treatment from both Rebecca and John, they got me back up and running with an easy to follow plan and regular check-ups to adapt the plan when needed. Very knowledgeable and gave me confidence to continue.
