Sophie Lax 150h   Introducing Sophie Lax, our resident ACC-approved Physiotherapist

Sophie is an experienced women’s health specialist from London with over a decade of industry experience.

Since qualifying from Manchester Metropolitan University in 2008 with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy, she has spent her career developing her skills through experience in both the public and private sectors.
As a specialist in both MSK (muscles and bones) and women’s health, her skill set is ideally suited to the treatment of all pregnancy-related problems as well as sports injuries, spinal pain, chronic pain and arthritis.

Utilising this combination of clinical skills Sophie has helped hundreds of patients through their rehabilitation journey and is focused on minimising the stress and pain that can accompany pregnancy.

Sophie is highly qualified and has continued professional development throughout her career. In 2009 she commenced her post-university training with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute focusing on deploying Pilates as a tool for rehabilitation.

Last year she became a certified Practitioner for Rehabilitation through Polestar UK, one of the highest standards in Pilates education.

Your first physio session with Sophie will normally be for an hour. With her holistic approach, Sophie will thoroughly assess you and your treatment may include manual therapy, exercise coaching, exercises on Pilates equipment and home exercises.
You and Sophie will decide what the best options are for you to get the best possible recovery. We also have an extensive referral network if you need other help.
