Great piece bringing together all the key components needed for a running to run for distance or speed with strong technique ­¤Æ¬­¤Å╗

­¤æć­¤æć­¤æć and this is why MRI is only half the picture.
The goal when helping someone with a disc injury is to reduce pain, improve function and increase movement.
It isnŌĆÖt to get your disc to fix ­¤Öł
... This process happens naturally over time anyway.
With Sports Massage weŌĆÖre trying to improve your experience of your recovery and deal with any symptoms that linger AFTER disc recovery has taken place ­¤ÆĆ

Are you sitting comfortably: the myth of good posture
"OŌĆÖSullivan says that rather than focus on the right posture, the ability to vary it and shift easily may be more important: ŌĆ£While it is appealing to think that if you sit up straight you will not get back pain, this is not supported by big studies across many countries.ŌĆØ

Talk to us if you'd like more advice.

We're having a frightfully good time in clinic today! ­¤Äā

Vicki works at a level I have rarely if ever experienced. She has got some serious skils!

Vicki is not only talented but she also takes care of her patients in a broader sense. She immediately identified my problem and she has been treating it successfully. I really appreciate the fact that she makes sure that I understand the nature of my injury, what caused it and the healing process. She is very knowledgeable and she knows how to communicate with non experts. She rowed for a long time, therefore she is very familiar with the sport and with the injuries that rowers may experience. On top of that, she has been giving me a lot of advices on how maximize my performance without falling apart. Absolutely recommended.

Vicki is absolutely amazing. She has not only helped me to recover from a weightlifting-related disk injury, but has also helped to keep me sane and healthy during the final months of my PhD. Her approach is holistic in that she won't just make sure you feel good physically, but also learn to deal with pain and recovery mentally and psychologically. Vicki definitely knows what she's doing and will always answer questions and help explore physical and mental issues while also providing lots of exercises to do at home. I thoroughly recommend HeadStart!

Vicki is a total star - her informed and caring approach is transforming. I first went to see Vicki, a bit reluctantly on the advice of friends, with a specific shoulder injury and she got me back to rowing in no time. I am now a complete convert to her sport massage and go regularly with injury prevention and performance improvement goals in mind - although sometimes it's just a brilliant antidote to life's non sporting challenges.

Vicki has helped me with no end of injuries. She always provides reassuring comfort that I can continue sport, ongoing help with any new issues, and guidance to try and prevent further injury.



Vicki is very reliable and effective, and very good at what she does. I have had lots of experience with physios and sports rehab and none have been as good, efficient or helpful as Vicki.



I always recommend Vicki to all of my team mates who have injuries and they always come away happy with the service HeadStart are able to provide.

Vicki has an amazing ability to look at some pain in one part of the body and magically find the cause in some other part of the body, which after a quick massage, poke or stretch provides great relief! I really enjoy the sessions and also doing my homework (stretches/strength work/self massage) so that I am in a better condition when I go back!

The experience, knowledge and client centred approach at Headstart is second to none. Vicki has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the body, injury and a gift for applying the right technique at the right time. I am very lucky to be an intern at Headstart. The clinic is a 2 hour drive from where I live but completely worth the journey to learn from such highly skilled and client focused therapists.

Just had a great first session with Vicki. She was so approachable and friendly, and I felt at ease straight away. Vicki was very easy to talk to and listened carefully.



During my first session, Vicki explained everything to me in detail, and in a way that I could understand. She also started some hands on work, and went through what to do in the next couple of weeks. It's good to know that I can not only get the help to resolve some short term problems, but to manage the longer term issues I have.



Thank you Vicki for fantastic service.

IŌĆÖve had a great experience of HeadStart Clinics, having seen both Vicki and Imogen. Vicki helped me to deal with and understand some deep-rooted knee issues that have plagued me my entire life. Meanwhile Imogen found the source of the pain in my calf and massaged it away, and gave me the knowledge to deal with it myself at home should it come back again. Both therapists are extremely professional, knowledgeable and above all friendly.

I would recommend HeadStart to anyone.

I've been having issues with recurring sciatica for a few years but since I started attending sessions with Vicky the pain became much more manageable and my workouts are now limited by my strength rather than pain in my lower back. Could not recommend more!

I'm so impressed by Imogen. After treatment with 5 other various sports therapists/ acupuncturist/ chiropractor for this recurring 'shoulder' injury, she has found my problem is my neck! I had pains going down my arm which after two sessions has gone and the burning pain in my shoulder is minimal to what it was. She is definitely the person who got me through 72 holes of golf Wednesday for charity and I thank her so much

I'm not an elite athlete, but I do sing and when my jaw started to feel as if it was dislocating each time I opened my mouth, I realised something had to be done about it. Vicki has been unknotting the mess that my jaw is, but has also been working on the root causes which are the knackered neck, stiff shoulders and stuffed-up back. She's knowledgeable, fun, intuitive and goal-oriented, and is undoing decades of twisted-up joints and muscles. I feel great!

I would highly recommend Vicki. Not only is she excellent at what she does but she loves her work so takes great pride in giving her best and gets very excited about her results. She communicates easily and clearly explains what's going on with the issues I'm having with my body and why. In addition she gives me stretches or movements I can do at home, in between sessions in order to speed up the healing.

I would definitely recommend Vicki to anyone with an injury. I've been seeing her since August for various injuries I've sustained while either lifting or horse riding. Seems once she has one solved I go and do something else! Wouldn't see anyone else. Thanks Vicki!

I went to Vicki for some recovery work over the Christmas period and found the sessions extremely helpful. As well as bringing a wealth of expertise and knowledge, Vicki has an easy manner which set me at ease immediately and communicated her ideas clearly. In addition she gave me some excellent tips and advice for how I can improve flexibility and range of motion in order to prevent injury and improve athletic performance.

I would highly recommend to anyone looking for rehab or general maintenance work and will certainly visit again when I'm in the area.

Many thanks!

I have been seeing Vicki for a couple of years now for various injuries and issues. Vicki always gets to the source of the problem, when other practitioners have not been able to. You get so much more than a massage when you go to HeadStart...you get physical rehabilitation. And they are such good value for money too!

Chiara is brilliant - full of advice and reassurance about any niggles. Her sports massages really make a difference.

Can't recommend headstart clinic enough. Have mostly been seen by Imogen who is lovely, professional and puts you at ease straight away. Even though I knew she was still learning and gaining experience I never once felt this was an issue and felt very safe in her capable hands. I learnt how to ease my knee pain that has plagued me for years which has helped me no end and means less painkillers to be taken.

Another insightful and succesful visit to Vicki who has really helped both me and my mother in law with very different problems. Her ability to fully understand the symptoms and more importantly the causes is so refreshing to find. Her patience is inspiring and her knowledge extensive. I can highly recommend Vicki at Headstart whether you're training for a half marathon or have a persistent cough and trouble breathing.



ItŌĆÖs four years later and I still use Headstart for their consistently great service, knowledge and support! Thanks to all of you at Headstart - I think I must have had treatment from all of you over the years and itŌĆÖs always professional, friendly and really helped me out of pain!

After herniation of L4/L5 and the inconvenience and pain this produced I went to see Vicki. Short version...Vicki got me breaking down my squat,Core focus and methods of building back up, some manipulation. We started with 40kg squats. Whilst I occasionally find it painful after sleeping on my back the reality is in the gym; I'm now regularly squatting over 100kg with no back repercussions ’┐Į. Thank you Vicki.
