How did my body get into such a mess? A surgeon who doesn’t pre-assess his patient and doesn’t do after care, and Physios who just go through the motions. I had a bilateral knee replacement 3 ½ years before I found Laura, I began with 2 months of ‘on line’ assessment (due to lockdown) followed by 10 months ‘in studio’. During that time Laura has encouraged me and took me a step at a time, I now know where I have been and need to go and can see the light at the end of the tunnel, which is fantastic, thanks so much Laura

Back in October 2020 my lower back 'went' and after a couple of weeks of no improvement I visited local chiropractors/osteopaths etc. but there was no improvement. Got an x-ray and an mri scan which showed severe disc bulge and a disc herniation. A visit to a different chiropractor recommended by a friend led to an ambulance call and worse pain and agony. I spent all of Christmas Day in bed; daring not to move. I had to give up my beloved walking and golfing and my future looked extremely bleak and back surgery seemed to be the only option....then I discovered Laura. It's not too big an exaggeration to say that she has saved my life. I live across the border in Lancashire, a 50 minute drive from her but I don't mind because it has been worth it. She has a lovely warm and positive demeanour and encourages you so much. She is very knowledgeable and if something might not work as well as was hoped, she always has an alternative. I'm almost pain free; I do 4 mile walks regularly and as long as I do the exercises that Laura gave me everyday then I'm fine. I expect to be playing golf and hiking up Pendle Hill again in a couple of months. She is just wonderful!

Love the pilates reformer classes with Laura and James. Within a few months of joining the class my back has gone and I found that my core strength drastically improved. They are so knowledgeable and patient and tailor the sessions to your needs. The classes are small allowing for a lot of attention through the exercises, so it’s the perfect class for beginners. I would highly recommend Laura Franklin Rehab.

Visiting family in the area, and my husband had pulled his neck. Found James at Laura Franklin and managed to get an appointment the next day. After 30 mins, his neck felt so much better and definitely had much more movement. James explained things really well to him and made sure he was comfortable at all times. Would highly recommend James.

A fantastic place in which I would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone. All members of staff are highly knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely care about your health and how to help you. I have attended Pilates classes where the instructor was amazing! She was able to tailor the classes to meet the needs of all so it felt as though you were getting one to one treatment! I’ve never been to a class where they are so vigilant and where they ensure each person is doing the exercise correctly! I’ve also recently attended a Menopause workshop which was fab! The trainers were knowledgeable, adaptable, friendly and made the whole experience very interactive. We talked openly about our experiences and symptoms, we were able to do a Pilates class which was specifically designed for strengthening exercises for menopause and then we had a nutritionist talk to us about diet relating to menopause!! To top it off, we also received a fab goodie bag! Absolutely brilliant!! Thank you Laura Franklin and team!

Having recently begun physio rehab with Laura, combined with therapeutic massages from James for a shoulder injury I cannot recommend Laura Franklin enough. The level of care & expertise from both of them is simply outstanding. I am making remarkable progress from an injury that was impacting every area of my life.

I attend regular reformer Pilates sessions with James and have really noticed the benefits even after the first five sessions. I have more confidence in my body and it’s ability and have a lot less aches & pains, this then allows me to continue my other exercise regimes to stay in shape with more confidence.

Two days before taking part in London Marathon I was feeling tight and achy, with a few niggles I wanted attending to. I contacted LFP and was able to get a minute appointment with James. I believe James is quite new to the practice but he certainly knew his stuff. I explained what I needed and he was straight to work on getting me relaxed and supple for the big run. I had great service from the guys here and was able to complete the marathon as planned. Big thanks to James - I'm not sure I could've done it without him!

Went for an assessment as I had many aches and pains particularly in knees and shoulders. Great experience. Really felt listened to and an individual exercise plan was put in place which continued over 8 weeks. I saw results straight away and was encouraged to keep to the plan. I joined a pilates class too which is very enjoyable and I have seen real progress over the months, now I can follow a maintenance plan and continue with the pilates classes. Highly recommend this very professional business. I had appointment reminders and well being e mails regularly , communication was excellent.

Had a group of eight sessions with James Barber. He really understood my problems and helped me work through them. I now have the tools to keep active. Many thanks James.

Sought treatment from James. After 8 weeks of rehab I am pain free and back to doing all the activities I love to do. James was knowledgeable and understanding but what I really liked was his dedication to helping me understand what we needed to do to prevent future problems. I cannot thank James enough.

Working through the online classes. Very controlled and informative- great for a beginner like me and can’t wait to get into the next session. Highly recommend for those who can’t get out to classes!

I booked a 6 week Pilates course for myself and colleagues at our workplace, which has been a really positive experience both physically and mentally. Also a great team bonding exercise, delivered by James. Thank you LFP from the Cube Accountancy team.

I share a weekly session with my husband and we work with Faye . I enjoy the workout on the reformer and I know that Faye is slowly building a programme with me to build my core which is slowly improving my spinal stenosis condition . Both my husband and I work on given exercises at home and we are both seeing a great improvement since we began our classes. I have a 60 mins journey to get to the class but having the opportunity to work with a fully qualified experienced physiotherapist more than justifies this time commitment .

I have attended Laura's Pilates mat classes for many years. They are always varied, layered in complexity and always expertly managed. Laura demonstrates, explains and tailors the exercises to individual needs and abilities. She is always professional and welcoming but her range of expertise is phenomenal, both in Pilates and all round physiotherapy.

Laura is an exceptional Pilates instructor and physiotherapist. I really enjoy, and benefit from, the Pilates classes delivered by Laura and James. They are a great team and have developed their exercise plan to suit all levels of ability. My rehab journey with Laura began with miserable chronic back and hip pain to current pain-free days. I never thought this would be possible!

I have suffered with various different niggles over the years, and never quite felt that previous physio/chirp/osteopath treatment completely got on top of it. I found out about Laura via a Instagram live chat about endometriosis, shortly before I moved to Baildon - she has helped me understand my body so much better than ever before…not only do I have less pain, but I can recognise very early signs of niggles developing and have a tool kit of exercises to address them before they become an issue. Laura has helped me trust my body again, and I can properly enjoy my activities again instead of the constant underlying fear of injuring myself again :-)
