Customer Testimonials
Tim Birch, Chariman Poole Athletic Club
I write to thank and commend you for the physiotherapy support you provide to Poole Athletic Club when you attend our club training sessions.
The flexibility you offer in creating a tailored service for our club requirements is very much appreciated by the Club's Committee, as up until your appointment we had been unable to find such a flexible service.
Our members, both juniors and seniors, have benefited enormously as our athletes have found the convenience you offer along with your expertise and depth of injury knowledge has greatly reduced the lay off time for many of our athletes.
As a club this means we can ensure that our athletes are available for competition.
There have been a number of instances where athletes have been advised by other medical practitioners to avoid training whilst a few sessions with you has not only kept athletes training but also reduced the time taken for recovery and more importantly found the reason for the occurance of the injury in the first place.
Members have found the back up of your own medical, gym and training facilities most useful.
I have no hesitation in recommending ther services of Body in Motion and Anne-Marie to other sports people or individuals needing physiotherapy or general advice and fitness training,
Vanessa Ugatti, Watch Out World
Since starting personal training sessions with Anne-Marie last November, I have cursed, moaned, whinged, bitched and even cried and yet Anne-Marie has remained steadfast throughout. The service she offers is challenging, motivational and above all consistent. She will not let you off the hook and yet she does not bellow like a sergeant major. In my opinion, two sessions with Anne-Marie a week are worth more than 4 sessions on your own in a gym. So if you want to get fit, increase your stamina or gain more strength, Anne-Marie will undoubtedly assist you to reach your goal. So what are you waiting for? No excuses, just results!

I consulted Anne-Marie Samuel of Body in Motion over a pain in my knee sustained while on holiday in Bournemouth. The massage treatment which she performed resulted in immediate improvement to the injury and a feeling of great relief as well as a sense of being in safe hands. I would recommend this to anyone in need of treatment in this area, or indeed any other type of muscle injury.

Anne-Marie, of Body in Motion in Bournemouth has done more for me in four weeks than anything else I have tried. I feel younger and have already received compliments. I am more mobile and happier with myself.
Alan T, Bournemouth
It is with great pleasure I take the opportunity of providing this testimonial to the services of Anne-Marie Samuel and her colleagues at Body in Motion. In late July I suffered a clean break to the left leg above the ankle and spent six weeks in plaster. I had two sessions of Physio elsewhere which achieved nothing. I then made an appointment with Anne-Marie who explained clearly what the symptoms were, why they were affecting me and how we could overcome the various problems I was facing having been in a plaster cast for a period of 6 weeks. I have been having weekly sessions with Anne-Marie in her well-equipped premises in Bournemouth and am well on my way to regaining full movement and strength with a lot less pain. She and her staff are very polite, patient and professional and I wish Body in Motion every success for the future. Alan T, Bournemouth

I find it easy to work out with Alex at Body in Motion; he keeps my requirements in mind while he pushes me during my workout. I have found it very helpful having a friendly knowledgeable personal trainer working with me, would and have recommended him to others. I am amazed how quickly I am getting fitter and am losing weight rapidly almost 2 stone in 8weeks.
Andy V
I am writing this testimonial because of the fantastic work you have done with my knees.
Over 15 years ago re-occurring football injuries permanently damaged my knees, consequently limiting what I could do and giving me frequent pain. Your exercise and treatment program over the last 5 months has meant that not only has the pain almost totally disappeared but I am able to take up far more sport and fitness activity than was previously possible.
Because I work many hours, being able to book evening appointments with you has been a vital feature of your Customer Service that was much appreciated.
I shall recommend you and your company to anyone I know with sporting injuries or fitness problems and will continue to book periodic appointments for ‘knee calibration’.
Thank you very much for your expertise and help.

After the 2005 EC in Sweden I sustained a groin Injury which later in the year of 2006 I had to have an operation on a sports hernia (Gilmor's Groin). Since then I have been in continuous rehab and only recently have I been getting progress with it. The injury I had was very frustrating as I could not perform at the level I knew I could perform at. It disabled me to run, change direction and even getting in and out of the car hurt like hell. Walking became painful at times to. I meet a chiropractor who now is one of my best friends and he has been working on my leg, working on imbalances with my pelvis and feet. He recommended that I also see a quality physiotherapist as both treatments were required. He sent me to go see Alex at Body In Motion. Alex sat down with me and wanted to know exactly what has been going on, so I told him. He examined me and explained the situation I am in and began treatment right away. I am still rehab-ing as I have been told that this groin injury is a very old one and is going to take time to overcome, but after only seeing Alex a few months now I have improved so much that I am able to run again and begin changing directions at a fast pace. I have even been entering 60m track events in London, which is something I thought I could never do again. If and when people ask me how my leg is and where to go for injury problems I always recommend Alex and Body In Motion, so professional, cost effective and most importantly...RESULTS!!! Thank you Alex and Body In Motion

The Sports Therapists at Body in Motion have been crucial in helping me recover from and prevent injury. This has been instrumental during 2006/07 power lifting season culminating in my British Championship victory.
Peter R, Bournemouth
For years I could not drive a car more than 20-30mins without agonising sciatic pain. I just wanted to let you know that last week I had the joy of a drive to Bristol and back (6 hours driving) and only very near the end of the return journey did I start to feel a little stiffness in my back. And that was after only two treatments with you! So you have caused a major improvement. Many thanks!
Lucy W, Pokesdown
I had suffered with work-related wrist pain and tendonitis for about a year. It began gradually and built up to the extent when I was experiencing constant soreness, stiffness and frozen joints in my wrist and hand. Daily work and everyday tasks become more and more difficult and it was at this point I decided to start treatment at Body in Motion. I have received fantastic professional treatment from Anne-Marie Samuel. She has thoroughly listened to and understood my the nature of my injury, been excellent in determining the course of treatment, sensitive in observing changes and improvements in the condition and shown a great depth of knowledge of how things should improve in the future and what to look out for to maintain good health. The service at Body in Motion has always been professional, friendly, extremely helpful and accommodating and I would not hesitate to recommend them 100% for anyone seeking quality treatment for a sports or work-related injury.
