Banbury Private Physiotherapy Practice

Did you know we are also based in Banbury under the name of Banbury Private Physiotherapy Practice? An established rehabilitation and sports therapy practice since 2010. BPPP retains the traditional, independently owned and reputable Banbury Practice. We strive to maintain that you, our patient, will have our undivided attention as we seek to create a rounded therapy approach of expert practice and varying skill sets to resolve your issues.

Lucy has joined the practice as a Level 3 Sports Massage Therapist while she finishes her degree in Sports Therapy. She has spent 8 months as an intern sports therapist with the Swindon Wildcats Ice Hockey team, allowing her to develop her skills in acute and significant injury management in a unique environment.

 

After graduating, she is eager to become trauma certified and begin working within sport to support a variety of athletes while she evolves as a clinician. She is also trained in the use of myofascial dry cupping and IASTM and is keen to qualify in the delivery of dry needling to compliment her treatments where necessary.

 

Lucy has had her own experiences with injury and post-surgical rehabilitation, and as such is an empathetic and hardworking addition to the team, whose unique history has equipped her to help people recover better and become stronger.

Holly discovered pilates whilst awaiting back surgery in 2008 and turned it into a career in 2016 when she trained and qualified to become a level 3 Mat Pilates instructor. She now teaches approximately 120 people per week ranging from 19 to 83 years old. 


The joy of Pilates is that there is always something that someone can do in a class and Holly promotes this in all of her lessons. Whether you are pre, post op, rehabilitating from an injury, living with a permanent disability or to enhance your strength and mobility, you will always be welcomed and catered for.


Holly believes in working hard to gain the most out of each Pilates session but this is always balanced with a little light humour as it has to be enjoyable too!

ABOUT

Holly

Mats first contact with t’ai chi was in 1992 in Ealing, London. Unfortunately, his progress was cut short due to work commitment. He moved to Walton-on-Thames in 2005 where he started with Master Hine Tai Chi Institute (co-founder of T’ai Chi & Qigong Union for Great Britain). He practised weekly with the excellent instructor Kevin Mullins (Walton-on-Thames T’ai Chi) and attended Master Hines Saturday seminars as well.

 

In 2018, he moved to Banbury and started at the British Tai Chi Academy with Master Peter Fletcher. He's practising with Master Peter the Yang style: 8 movements, 24 movements, 48 movements, Qi Gong and Reflexology.
