• Sophie Mason believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) is hindering your ability to performing self-care tasks like hair washing or reaching their back, a personalized plan focusing on being able to climb stairs with ease and confidence once again can make all the difference.
• When pain in my shins when I try to run or be active (shin splints) is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing dancing the night away at social events and family celebrations, physiotherapy with Sophie Mason can help you work towards feeling equipped with effective self-management strategies and exercises. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.
• Many individuals seek help from Sophie Mason, their physiotherapist, when my child walking on their toes most of the time starts impacting daily life.
