After suffering an excruciating and sudden attack of back pain early this year and trying extensive physiotherapy with little success, I finally found Carlo and Debbie who have both been fantastic in supporting my recovery. I had several sessions with Carlo who fully explained everything that he was doing, gave me extra exercises to do and helped me to feel less anxious about moving more freely. I then moved on to sessions with Debbie who was very knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. Her thorough explanations of muscle engagement and the positioning of my body have enabled me to feel secure in undertaking Pilates as an exercise. They have both been fantastic and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
I have been training regularly with Debbie for two years -- both for strength and overall fitness. I have found her to be extremely knowledgeable and attentive. She is continually adapting and customizing workouts so I can keep improving my fitness levels, and she pushes me to stay motivated.
Can we have some more stars to add please?? Debbie is very brilliant, very dedicated, very caring, very patient has to be for me listens and responds, and takes care of you in a wonderful way. I can feel and do things now that were unimaginable just a short few months ago, and she is directly responsible for making my life a lot better that it was prior to doing her classes. She's also really lovely and personable, and she makes it an enjoyable thing to do, even when it hurts just a bit.
A lifting injury 6 /7 years ago left me with a lower back weakness on one side. Newly-retired last year I wanted to find a more local and convenient Osteopath to help keep me fully functioning all year round. So, when my back 'popped' again causing me a lot of pain it was Carlo Dore who managed to get me back on the road again and continues to be my go-to professional. Separately, I had been professionally advised that clinical Pilates would be helpful to pick up from where my gym membership had ceased. Again, looking for a locally based trainer I was signposted to Debbie Dore and have been having weekly 1:1 sessions with Debbie, Covid Lockdown permitting. My osteo' sessions with Carlo will, on occasion, identify issues where Debbie's intervention in the form of an exercise or particular approach would prove beneficial to me. Debbie has proved to be great support. Our sessions are a perfect blend of very focused training which is very motivational and sets goals as well as being fun, enabling this 67 year old bloke who is not as fit as he would like to be to begin a journey of continous improvement in my flexibility. It quite simply just gets better......! Carlo and Debbie are surely the ideal professional partnership in really putting the 'C' is Complementary Health and I cannot recommend them more highly in their respective fields. Thank You both so much!
Debbie is a fantastic Pilates teacher. I first started working with Debbie 1:1 after a slipped disc, she slowly and safely got me moving again, to the point I’ve been able to return to playing hockey and can move better than I think I’ve ever been able to! Having never tried Pilates before my back issues, it really can be transformative and Debbie has been an amazing partner in my recovery, I’ve recently joined her online zoom classes and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Debbie is an amazing teacher with a huge amount of Pilates knowledge. Her sessions are always different & she encourages you to challenge yourself so you never grow tired of Pilates. I have learnt so much and my technique has improved greatly in the last 5 years I have been attending Debbie’s Pilates classes.
I have attended Debbie's Pilates Classes for over 3 years now, and will continue to do so. She is an excellent Pilates teacher, making sure that each participant gets the most out of the class. There is always a new variation to the excercises, which keeps classes fresh and exciting! Should one be in need of deeper body work, then Carlo is the person to see. My family and I have had many treatments with Carlo, who pays great attention to his client's pains, and physical issues, also suggesting supportive exercises one can do at home. Debbie and Carlo Dore are a great team, and I highly recommend them for everyone's wellbeing!
After having real problems with my back and spine for a Iong time I visited both Carlo and Debbie for Osteopathy and rehabilitative Pilates. They are both absolutely amazing. Very knowledgeable about the body, muscles and skeletal system. Both are very professional, friendly and since my very first visit my back has settled and been strengthened. Highly recommended.
I've been attending Debbie's classes for over 5 years. Debbie is very knowledgeable and pays particular emphasis on explaining how the various techniques can be of benefit to all. She makes an effort to vary the exercises and keep things interesting and fresh. She has a good memory recalling our individual issues or needs, to make sure we achieve maximum benefit . In the current climate it is a pleasure to come along and exercise, whilst feeling secure all protocols are observed,
Carlo has helped me many times over the years for recurring back issues. He's always done a great job fixing my ailments and the additional advice from Debbie to help recovery has been an added bonus. Always a very friendly service. Highly recommended.
