What We Do
Everything we do has come out of years of experience and collaboration with some of the best minds in the industry. Nothing we do is off the shelf. We are all about the individual and giving each person what they need, when they need it, for their own personal version of optimal health. Our multidisciplinary no-stone-unturned approach is thorough and direct so there is no messing around when it comes to getting results.
Corrective Exercise
We mostly don't realize, or we ignore, that we are using our anatomy in ways that can create wear and tear. Our shift towards more sedentary lifestyles is creating mechanical shifts in our bodies. Tension headaches, chronic back pain, and achy joints all seem the norm in this day and age. Corrective exercise aims to bring one's body back into normal postural alignment and restore proper function by improving strength and flexibility where needed. It bridges the gap between what your body is currently capable of and what you want your body to be able to do.
Clinical Massage Therapy
Whilst our passion is to encourage our clients to be independent in all aspects of their health and wellbeing, sleepless nights, stress at work, injuries, and just life, mean that sometimes a really world-class treatment is needed. We have over 20 techniques that we use and mix appropriately according to the needs of each individual. We are licensed to work with cancer patients, and use the Hydrotherm Mobile System for pregnancy and disability to ensure maximum ease of treatment for the client. We always ensure that each person is equipped with specifically prescribed exercises to increase and progress the efficacy of the treatment.
Functional Eating & Lifestyle
We all know how important nutrition is for weight management and overall health, but when it comes to recovering from injury or pain addressing and managing inflammation is key. From gut and sleep problems, to low energy and mood, inflammation is often the silent culprit. By addressing food habits that may be getting in the way of your results, you can access those results faster, and make sure they last. And no, it's not all about calorie counting or restrictive diets. What we're talking about is using food as a tool to fuel and rebuild and nourish your body, so it has what it needs to do it's job, and do it well.
Scar Tissue Therapy
Scars from simple to radical surgeries, burns, car accidents, war wounds, and pregnancy can all cause adhesions and restrictions by connecting structures that should not be connected. This can restrict mobility and organ function and can create pain, discomfort, and nerve/numb sensations both locally and distally. Using ScarWork techniques pioneered by Sharon Wheeler, this painless, hands on modality assists in reconfiguring the soft tissue. This helps break down scar tissue reducing the adhesions. The restrictions in the scar itself as well as the adhesions free up during the treatment, restoring function, range of movement, and sensation to the affected areas and beyond. This works for all types and sizes of scars. Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork can usually level out uneven scars, ‘lumpiness’, raised areas and unsightly distortions. Although appearance is not our main target there have been numerous scars that have greatly improved over the course of time. Whether your scar is fresh or decades old, scar work is equally effective.
Fascial Stretch Therapy™
Fascial Stretch Therapy™ is a pain-free, table based system of assisted stretching. With FST you get to lay back and have someone else do all the work, you don't even have to lift a finger... or leg, your practitioner will do that for you. This unique stretching method aids in improving flexibility, performance, strength, and pain relief. How do we do it? By focusing on the body’s fascial tissue and joint capsules. It can be done as part of a corrective exercise session to prime the body for movement, or as a stand alone treatment. Benefits include stress reduction, improved flexibility, decreased muscle tension, improved performance and strength as a result of new ranges of motion being created, and reduction in pain due to tight or imbalanced muscles.
Online Support and Virtual Training
We offer online programmes and virtual appointments for corrective exercise and strength and conditioning. With these you have regular face to face video calls as well as email support throughout the duration of your programme. This is ideal for anyone not able to travel for in-person sessions, or anyone going away on holiday who wants to maintain or continue with the progress they've made.
Our Approach
Cool Health was born out of a need for education around our bodies and how they work. Our bodies are incredibly resilient and do a lot for us throughout our lifetimes. They will, of course, experience some wear and tear along the way, but with care and attention it is possible to maintain function and strength throughout. Oftentimes knowing how best to care for and maintain this amazing asset is not common knowledge, and that’s where we come in.
Our job at Cool Health is to teach you the specifics around how to care for your body. To ease you out of pain, improve performance, strengthen, and prevent illness and injury into your later years.

Play Write, Actor, NarratorCarole and Rachel have seen me through many of my aches and pains and whenever I get into trouble they know exactly how to get me back on track and out of pain.
(obviously needs filling out but I think Tracy will be a great testimonial to have on the website)
Alan Brown
InvestorFor me the emphasis on flexibility, functional stability and strength training, rather than just macho muscle building programmes, makes all the difference. The pre operative rehab programme allowed me to get back into the gym just two weeks after a hip replacement operation.
Jon Bowskill
Corrective Exercise SpecialistI have worked with Carole for fourteen years and with Rachel for nine. Together we work as a team providing biomechanical assessments and coaching people through in-depth exercise programmes, often with the aim of relieving chronic pain and recovering from injury. Carole and Rachel provide a three dimensional approach and are who I recommend when clients need that extra level of support via coaching, hands on therapies such as clinical massage and Sharon Wheeler's ScarWork, and nutritional/ lifestyle advice.
