Having had several physical difficulties (knee and back especially), I would not hesitate to recommend Cathedral Physiotherapy to you. Sarah is such a gifted therapist and her many years of expertise shines through as soon as you even begin discussing your problem with her. She is really friendly and put me at ease straight away. I was also impressed that not only was she able to explain why I was feeling pain in language that I understood, but also able to explain how the treatment she was going to give me would be effective. You will trust her completely! Sure enough, after a few sessions and a clear programme of exercises to carry out at home, I could feel a huge difference. I have tried several practices in the area and, without a doubt, Cathedral Physiotherapy out shines them all.

I had a couple of back problems a couple of months ago due to a cycling accident and went to Sarah for some help, she did a great job and wasn't bothered about working on me a few times in the week which was great. After a couple of visits it was all fixed and she gave me stretches to do for a month so the pain doesn't return. Sarah's great and well recommended! Thanks Sarah!

I recently visited Cathedral Physiotherapy, which is situated in a convenient city-centre location. I was treated by Sarah Moore. A high standard of care and treatment has resulted in an immediate improvement. I felt confident and reassured by Sarah's expertise, because of her thorough explanation of my condition, and appropriate treatment. I would rate my experience of Cathedral Physiotherapy as outstanding.

I found the whole experience at Cathedral Physiotherapy to be outstanding. Not only is it a picturesque location, easy access from the city centre, and nestled in a magnificent Georgian houses in Exeter’s Southernhay, but the service was exceptional. The clinic was exceptional clean, bright, well laid out and very welcoming. Sarah Moore, the physiotherapist, was simple brilliant. Her caring and professional attitude towards my diagnosis was superb. She made me feel at ease and able to convey my issues to her without any misunderstanding. She took an incredible amount of care and time to ensure she thoroughly understood my concerns. The treatment plan she produced was clear, easy to incorporate into my everyday life; it was like having a consultation from my very own private physiotherapist. If I have any niggles or issues in the future, you can be sure I will be visiting Cathedral Physiotherapy again.

Nick Hitt - Exeter
Following years of sport induced back injury/pain and having seen a number of other physiotherapists, I had assumed that back pain was part of my life and to be managed. However Sarah Moore changed all that. Sarah listened fully to my history and made a thorough assessment leading to intervention and exercises. Through Sarah's experience and skill I am now back running and cycling and back pain is a thing of the past. I am thrilled with the professional and genuine care Sarah took while seeing her and I would highly recommend her. Particularly having seen other physios, Sarah was able to deal with a more complex issue resolving it fully.

I am so pleased I found out about Cathedral Physiotherapy in a local magazine. The premises are situated in the picturesque location of Southernhay close to the City Centre with easy parking nearby. They are immaculately presented, newly painted with a large and impressive Consulting/Treatment room.
I saw Sarah Moore on 29th January 2016 with regard to an stubborn pain in my right side. She immediately identified the problem in the facet joint of the vertebrae and treated the area. She gave me exercises to follow and within days the pain had receded and a full recovery made.
I saw her again on 24th February 2016 when she re-examined me and found flexibility had returned to the area. She recommended that I include the exercises given in my dairy gym routine.
Sarah also examined my left shoulder as I suffer from occasional pain on stretching out, due to a long term tear in the rotator cuff. She further examined a slight restriction in my right hip. Additional exercises were given in respect of both, also to be incorporated in my gym routine.
I found Sarah to be enthusiastic, knowledgeable, personable, friendly and professional. She was extremely thorough in the diagnosis and treatment given. What I also liked was that there was no requirement or encouragement to make a further appointment. It was left entirely for me to make that decision. There were no hidden charges either, just two rates clearly explained which was very refreshing to see.
As a regular gym user at The David Lloyd Leisure complex, Sandy Park,
I will now have no hesitation in seeking further help from Sarah Moore of Cathedral Physiotherapy should the need arise. Thank you so much, you were amazing.

I deliver kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms for a national retailer, in January i sustained a painful injury to my upper back and was introduced to Sarah for assessment. I was diagnosed with sprained ligaments to several areas of my back and ribs.
I was devastated as i was unable to work and this would have a huge impact on my finances. Sarah was fantastic at reassuring me that this was treatable which immediately put my mind at rest, her understanding of my personal situation also gave me great comfort and confidence in her.
I have completed my treatment, for now and am looking forward to returning to work whilst continuing the exercises i've been given.
I would recommend Sarah to anyone seeking relief from pain following injury or as part of rehabilitation,
Not only have i recovered but I have been given the tools and advice to prevent further injury and lead a more productive and healthy lifestyle.
THANK YOU so much Sarah

After deciding to move a piano on my own, I pulled my side badly and could hardly work or sleep. After leaving it 4 days in the hope it would get better, I went to Sarah and I was so glad I did. Sarah has a lovely way about her; she examined me, did some exercises with me and then offered acupuncture. I had never had acupuncture before and I was very nervous but she completely put me at ease. I left with exercises to do and booked another appointment 2 days later. That night I slept so much better and the next day I could move so much more freely. Even though I felt a lot better, I went back the next day as booked and now I am nearly enough back to normal. I couldn't recommended Sarah more highly;she is very caring and certainly knows her stuff. 5 stars well deserved, thank you so much Sarah for sorting me out.

"I am feeling a whole lot better because I received treatment at Cathedral Physiotherapy"
I have had arthritic problems for around ten year, with pain being controlled with medication. Out of the blue having driven for around an hour I experienced pins 'n' needles in both arms (more on right side) which took several days clear. When this happened again the GP suggested physiotherapy. NHS PTs in Exeter are under great pressure and I knew if I wanted to resolve this un-comfortable problem I needed to look elsewhere. This basement clinic is in the centre of town with handy car parks etc close by.
Sarah Moore is very well qualified, but more than this she listens to what you have to say about what might be the problem. The treatment is firm but caring, it is then down to you to listen to your body when doing any exercises Sarah prescribes. I very rarely give reviews but I am feeling a whole lot better because I received treatment at Cathedral Physiotherapy.

"I visited Sarah after having ongoing pain in my shoulder from a sports injury. The treatment focused on correct posture/position and strengthening exercises, along with advice on what specific things I should or shouldn't be doing to aid recovery. I was so impressed with Sarah's willingness to answer my questions and her attention to ensuring that I was doing things right to help in the longer term. In addition to her obvious knowledge and experience, Sarah is a lovely person and makes you feel at ease - highly recommended."

An electrician by trade, I paid a visit to Sarah after suffering from horrendous muscle spasms to the left hand side of my back meaning I was an able to do physical work or walk upright. Her experience and knowledge was excellent and the treatment received has really helped me get back to normal.

Sarah is an excellent clinician with amazing diagnostic skills. After 30 years of a stiff neck and painful shoulder, not to mention a fortune spent on various supposed remedies, Sarah sorted me out within a few weeks and I am now pain free and moving better than ever. I can't recommend Sarah too highly.

"Pain has decreased steadily with these treatments and movement is now almost back to normal"
I've had treatment on my shoulder following surgery, with the aim of restoring all aspects of the joints functioning. In addition to exercises to restore movement and strength, which I do and home and in a swimming pool, I have received some trigger point manipulation to free up knotty spots in the shoulder, back and neck, all of which were contributing to pain in the shoulder and neck region. Pain has decreased steadily with these treatments and movement is now almost back to normal, after four sessions. I am very satisfied with the diagnosis of my problems and the help and advice received, for what I consider to be a modest rate of payment (£35 for 1/2 hour but sessions frequently have been significantly longer than that.)
My experience of Cathedral Physiotherapy was excellent, with sensitive handling of a complicated shoulder and systematic approach to the various aspects of treatment. I honestly cannot fault the experience I've had from this physiotherapist and would thoroughly recommend her to others."

Sarah Moore has excellent clinical knowledge, long experience, and a scientific approach. I went to her on the recommendation of a friend, with a very sore & crunchy shoulder which was limiting my movement. We had an initial 1 hr session where she methodically examined and tested everything. She diagnosed my problem and prescribed some stretches and exercises to correct my strength and movement. After a week of exercises I feel much much better. I had a follow up appointment where she carried out some massage and manipulation. Sarah has a great ability to understand your anatomy, she can find the unknown muscle or tendon that is tight, in places I was not even aware were sore. It is a testament to her skill and clinical excellence that she can know my body better than me. She gave me an extended set of stretches/exercise and thinks I do not need to come back! I am very impressed, and very pleased. Highly recommended.

I hurt my back trying to get running fit. Sarah made me feel I was in the hands of a professional. Her advice was considered and appropriate to my (older) physical capacities and I felt motivated to follow it. My back is fully recovered and stronger than it was though I intend to continue with the exercises she gave me as I have learned a lot about how my body works from her and understand how to protect myself from injury. She even prompted me to consider that I didn't need her help any longer, before I raised the issue with her - no trying to keep me coming (and paying) when I didn't need it! Excellent.

After being discharged from NHS physio post ankle fracture being unable to do anything but walk, Sarah has really helped me get back into both climbing and running again. She explains what she is doing very well and is lovely and friendly making you feel at ease. Each appointment felt worthwhile and Sarah did not expect weekly visits, which is always great for the student budget! I really like the use of an app for the list of exercises from each session as this allowed me to keep on top and track my progress. I would thoroughly recommend Sarah for any physiotherapy needs.

Sarah offers a very special physiotherapy service which combines excellent assessment, efficient treatment techniques /exercises and a very friendly yet highly professional manner. She is dedicated to her work and has taken a Master's degree to enhance her theoretical perspectives and associated practical practices. Sarah believes that patients should not define themselves by their injuries or health problems and this seems to me to hold much wisdom as clients work towards recovery. I have visited a number of physiotherapists during my life but have never felt that I was experiencing such expert care where 'the whole person' was so well taken into account. Thank you, Sarah!

Hugh Neason - Exeter
Having had bilateral resurfacing of patellofemoral joints (both knee caps resurfaced). I had my first session with Sarah one week post operation where at the time i could barely elevate my legs off the floor when lying down and flexion was scarcely beyond 90 degrees. After a total of two months of therapy (initially 2 sessions per week in the clinic and progressing onto one clinic and one Hydrotherapy sessions per week) my flexibility has improved to ''normal'' (after about five weeks). Once full flexibility was achieved i progressed onto more dynamic therapy. The Hydrotherapy has been a massive boost in terms of physical improvement but also psychologically due to the greater stress that can be put on the limbs without the impact of 90 Kg hitting a solid surface. I cannot praise enough the impact that Sarah has had upon my progress in such a relatively short period. I work in an environment that requires physical and dynamic responses by my body and am confident that i will be more than able to return to full time work in the near future. I cannot recommend Sarah enough and her approach to my post operation therapy. Her professionalism and the education that she has given me into the anatomy and physiology of the knees but also the impact upon the rest of the body is second to none. Many Thanks and much appreciation.

I went to see Sarah after being in a lot of pain with my back and ribs. When I got to Sarah, I could hardly breathe in so she got to work right away. It turned out that one of my ribs had twisted which was causing the awful pain. After a 30 minute treatment, the pain had lifted substantially and by the following day, I had almost no pain at all. I was in so much discomfort that I didn't think anything would help. It just goes to show how knowledgeable and brilliant Sarah is. Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend Cathedral Physiotherapy. Sarah is extremely professional and made me feel instantly at ease with her friendly and welcoming demeanour. It was clear that she really listened to my needs and helped me to achieve my therapy goals. The time spent in the clinic was always beneficial and week on week I could see (and feel) that steady progress was being made. Sarah’s approach to therapy is gentle but also very effective, which left me feeling relaxed and motivated to carry out the exercises I had been given. Cathedral Physiotherapy is easy to get to from the city centre and the clinic is always clean. In addition, my appointments always ran on time and were very reasonably priced. All in all, I felt that the therapy I received was of excellent value and If ever I have any further physio needs I wouldn’t consider anywhere else!

Thank you Sarah. I would certainly recommend your physio service. An issue that had been plaguing me for nearly 3 months was so quickly diagnosed. I doubt that few people look for upper cervical nerve issues in relation to vertigo. Once explained it made perfect sense. Although circumstances made it difficult to attend a further session, the self help exercises gradually produced significant improvement. As all other reviews state, yours is an extremely professional and friendly service with years of knowledge demonstrated and applied within just an hours session. Very impressive expertise but with the holistic and individual touch. I would not hesitate to return again, rather than tolerate a debilitating condition. Thank you

Sue Wilson - Exeter
I had experienced worsening knee pain for many years which culminated in a sudden extreme pain, prompting me, finally, to take steps to address the problem. Sarah saw me very quickly and was extremely thorough in taking a history and in physically assessing the issues I was experiencing. The explanation of what was happening and why it was causing the pain was thorough and clear, even to an ignoramus like me. Sarah gave a comprehensive "how and why" explanation of the rationale for how this could be treated with exercise, and the exercises themselves. I found Sarah's knowledge and understanding, and her ability to convey this to me accurately and clearly to be invaluable in motivating the ongoing process of carrying out the exercises. Most importantly, it worked! Following Sarah's advice and exercise programme has made a huge difference and I can only pass on my grateful thanks for fixing so quickly and professionally a problem which was becoming increasingly debilitating. I can wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Sarah to anyone experiencing problems like mine. Thank you!

More effective than magic, Sarah is a brilliant physio.
Unless you have Harry Potter skills you cannot beat father time, and with ageing comes creaking and stiffness. If you also get a bit sillier with age, then like me, you go off on ridiculous mountain biking holidays that have the potential to really hurt.
Well lets hope you have a Sarah Moore in your town because she has got got some serious science skills to diagnose and fix you up.
She will do a proper assessment of your body and movement, and then if necessary carry out some hands on squishing and bending, and then send you off with a list of instructions.
This was my 3rd visit (for three different ailments, she prides herself on fixing you first time so you won't have to come back for a do over) and once again Sarah has shown herself to be worth every pound of her experience and skill.
If you don't have a Sarah in your town, be happy that Exeter has good transport links because she is worth the journey. Or move here.

Sarah was recommended to me by another physio who has since changed career. She told me that Sarah had fantastic knowledge and experience having led a team at the Exeter RD&E for many years. Sarah lived up to her reputation and we found her an amazing help. My daughter is 11 years old and had an ankle injury from competitive swimming and was struggling to train. Sarah quickly identified muscle imbalances Jessica had which were causing the area to be prone to injury. Through specific exercises she helped my daughter to regain muscle balance in order to heal and prevent the injury reoccurring. Her advice was invaluable and quickly enabled my daughter to return to her competitive swimming. Sarah also has a lovely, warm personality which put my daughter at ease. We found her to be a fantastic physio. Highly recommended!

Simply brilliant! Eight weeks ago, I was experiencing extreme pain in my lower back and travelling down my left leg. I was in a bad way, and had hardly slept for over a week, as I dragged myself into Cathedral Physiotherapy to see Sarah More. It didn't take long to realise that Sarah was very highly experienced as she went through the diagnosis and treatment. She also provided me with exercises to carry out at home, reviewing each visit as my condition improved. Sarah is professional, friendly, caring and supportive and I would highly recommend her.

That's the quality/feeling that came across very strongly over the course of my sessions with you, even when I needed to adjust my thinking about what was maybe causing the knee problem (i.e. something more long-term) - but it still felt like we'd find a way to manage that well..- so THANK YOU especially for that, and also your very warm and friendly way of working.'

Just thought you would like to know that my shoulder is 99% back to normal and I'm working out at the gym five times a week again. Thanks for your help.

After paying for countless physios and scans over the course of several years, I convinced myself that my shoulder injury was untreatable; that was until I started seeing Sarah. She is a kind, professional, and consistent physiotherapist who has helped me greatly, both physically and mentally, over the course of several months. I could not recommend more.

I came to see Sarah a couple of years ago after a yoga related knee injury, she was excellent and also helped me with the neck and back pain that I d had for years. All in one session. She really helped me fix my posture. I would recommend her to anyone

In July 2021 I ruptured both of my achilles tendons and was subsequently in double boots and a wheelchair for the following 12 weeks. After coming out of the boots I had experienced serious muscle Atrophy in my lower legs and my ankles had seized up pretty well. Sarah's work has been nothing short of amazing, within two - three sessions I was walking with a lot more ease, my joints and muscles had started to heal well and my range of movements were increasing. I have been seeing Sarah weekly from October through to December and I am now able to use the gym and go for long walks again. Sarah's obvious knowledge and experience have been key to being able to go back to work and driving and the support had been fantastic. Thank you so much.

I have suffered with sciatica for approximately eight years, despite genuinely working hard to counteract it. Shortly after Christmas 2021 I had the worst bout in years, which left me in significant pain and bordering on immobile for a couple of days.
I was able to get an appointment with Cathedral Physiotherapy within a week and over the course of four appointments over the subsequent month I am all but completely recovered. While I would have in all likelihood recovered eventually regardless, there is no doubt in my mind that Sarah at Cathedral Physiotherapy has significantly aided and sped up my recovery. Furthermore, we (mainly Sarah!) have finessed an exercise routine for me to undertake going forward which has left me genuinely optimistic of avoiding a repeat of such chronic back pain in the future.
In working with Sarah I felt as if my concerns and anxieties (which spanned years and took some time to describe to her, and came with some emotional baggage and frustration on my part) were listened to and taken into account, which is a quality I have found lacking from other physiotherapists in the past.
Practically-speaking, the office is conveniently-located (I always found it easy to park at Southernhay), it was easy to book appointments, and the exercises I were given were sent to me in a convenient format for reference purposes.
I am enormously grateful to Sarah and would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone with similar problems.

Sarah has a calm and friendly professional manner. I felt very well listened to at our first meeting and throughout. Her diagnosis, timescale for recovery and the exercises she gave me were fully explained. It was good to see her for reviews and modifications to my exercise programme. I went to see her with a painful groin strain which was severely limiting my activities. I just wish I had gone to see her earlier!! I waited too long for it to get better on its own (it didn’t) and then to see a GP.
I can feel so much improvement and I’m now able to continue my exercises on my own. I would certainly recommend Sarah

What an amazing experience! Not only is Sarah an incredible physio, displaying deep in depth knowledge of her chosen field, she is also a lovely person who shows genuine interest in your problem. I had a pain for 18 months which other physios/sports therapists and doctors could not identify. I had scans which fortunately showed no abnormalities, nevertheless the discomfort still plagued me, affecting my ability to exercise, and my quality of life. In my first session with Sarah, she literally put her finger on the problem and gave me exercises to do to help alleviate the condition. Within 3 to 4 days, the pain had started to subside, and within a month, I wasn’t even noticing it any more. I saw Sarah once more for some massage on my back, and the problem has now been eradicated. I wholeheartedly recommend Sarah to anyone considering visiting a physio. She is without a doubt the finest physio I have ever come across and a credit to her profession. Thanks Sarah. You’re incredible!

A big thank you to Sarah who really does know her profession. On my first visit she put me at ease and pinpointed the cause of my knee issue. She has even made my pain less and has provided me an exercise plan that will hopefully solve the problem. Definitely recommend a visit if In need of a Physiotherapist. Thanks again, Matt

Sarah is amazing! I injuried my knee during marathon training with just 2 months before the big day. Sarah's assessment was thorough; she listened to my concerns and symptoms, diagnosed the problem and gave me exercises and ultrasound to help the issue. Pleased to say I completed the London Marathon 2023 with no knee pain!!! AMAZING!

I visited Sarah for the first time a few months ago. I'd decided to find a private physio as I wasn't getting the time, and dedicated approach I needed, from the NHS. I had looked at the top rated physios in Exeter and Sarah come up.
From the moment I met Sarah I instantly knew I was in good hands. I honestly felt so relieved to have found someone like Sarah. She was incredibly thorough, dedicated, highly knowledgeable and so lovely to talk to.
I had suffered with debilitating hip impingement pain for 2.5 years and had by this point exhausted all options. Within an hour, Sarah had assessed me fully, did some physical manipulation on my spine and guided me through some exercises. She then printed out an exercise program sheet and emailed me this along with the physiotools app.
I started 2 sets of the exercises (daily) from the next day. After 5 or 6 sessions with Sarah and doing the exercises everyday for several weeks, I am honestly feeling the best I've felt in 2.5 years. I've built up the strength on my right side (which was found to be very weak) and have gained back my mobility and sanity!

Came to Sarah at Cathedral Physio with bad neck and shoulder pains which I had for 6 to 8 weeks. Three visits and an exercise programme later and now completely sorted. Great service, very friendly and professional. Heartily recommend.

Sarah has been nothing but amazing! Her warmth and thoroughness makes the consultation a great experience and been a massive help to help with my injury. The online system also proves super useful for the set up and follow up of consultations with exercises.

Went to Sarah for two separate injuries and came out with super clear and helpful exercises. She sends details on how to do each exercise digitally so I have them forever

I would recommend Cathedral Physiotherapy to anyone who is looking for a physiotherapist. Sarah made me feel comfortable and supported throughout my entire journey. Sarah completed a thorough assessment process with me, I left feeling like the weight of the world had been lifted. I was provided with a manageable exercise routine using an app, along with regular appointments with Sarah to check my progress. During my appointments with Sarah, I felt supported emotionally as well as physically throughout a really challenging part of my life. I am so grateful for her service!!

I wanted to report back to you that the sciatica afflicting my back and upper leg on my right side has gradually been improving since the first consultation with you. I very much appreciated your professional expertise in assessing the issue and the reassuring advice that pain would recede over time especially with the help of the exercises you prescribed. Your advice was especially helpful when, feeling better, I would twist the wrong way and would suddenly feel the impact of moving less mindfully than I should! So in those instances of one two steps forward and one step back I knew that I just had to take a breath and move a bit more carefully in order to allow things to settle once again. I am not completely over it even now but I am definitely getting there! So, some appreciation is due I think. Thank you!

Just a short note to say thank-you for all your help over recent months, and in a positive way, it's been life changing! I've gone from not being able to walk 600m without some severe pain, to walking 22km in the volcanos of Hawaii, to over 37km in and around Edinburgh - and all within the last four weeks.....Thank you !
