I sought Karen's help due to severe and sudden-onset lumbar pain. She kindly spoke to me on the phone and encouraged me on some things I could do until I was able to come see her. When I did come see her she listened well, was very gentle and knowledgeable on how to help me. Highly recommend!

Karen really does give a five star service! I went to her after suffering pains in my arm and she was very attentive, taking the time to understand my issues. Her assessment was thorough, and the advice and exercises she gave me have already made a noticeable improvement. She’s knowledgeable, supportive, and clearly cares! I’d highly recommend her to anyone needing physiotherapy in Málaga.

I had a wonderful experience with Karen. She was extremely thorough with her assessment, treatment and exercise homework she gave me. I was in A LOT of pain. But my low back pain was feeling better after the first appointment and by the third, I was back to my old self. I'm so grateful I found Karen! I highly recommend her.

Brilliant service, I felt well looked after and listened to, especially when I explained that I'm autistic and struggle with certain exercises/awareness of pain etc, she adapted her recommendations for me. Karen is patient and knowledgeable and I'm grateful to finally have a solution to the knee pain that I've dealt with for years.

Karen Reay is a very friendly and professional physiotherapist. Having the sessions in English was extremely convenient and made communication easy and stress-free.

I visited Karen due to a persistent pelvic inflammation. When I first sought her help, I was experiencing constant pain. Karen demonstrated effective exercises tailored to my condition. I followed these exercises daily throughout my recovery process until I got better. I am deeply grateful for Karen's help and support wich made a significant difference in my recovery journey.

Karen, thank you very much—your assistance helped me tremendously! I can highly recommend her to anyone seeking physiotherapy :)

I am having physiotherapy sessions with Karen after being recently diagnosed with spinal stenosis. I find her very knowledgeable, thorough, professional and responsive to questions. From the beginning her approach inspired confidence. She has given me a series of exercises designed for my specific needs and video links to ensure that I am doing them correctly. I felt better after my first session and am confident that I will make good progress. I strongly recommend her.

Karen came to the house and diagnosed the reasons for my painful leg. She also provided me with an exercise programme. I thought the service she provided was excellent. She was gentle, professional and easy to talk to. I found her extremely helpful and clearly very experienced.

I went to see Karen due to pain in my leg/hips. She started off with a thorough examination and assessment of my body movements and overall condition and then focused on the areas where I have problems. Within seconds, she located the thigh muscle that has been causing me pain and treated it. She also recommended a number of exercises and patiently guided me through each exercise, ensuring that I did them all correctly. Afterwards, I also received very helpful videos demonstrating each exercise. She is also brilliant if you have neck/shoulder pain. In short, Karen is professional, kind, patient, and clearly very experienced. You are in safe hands with her!

I had my first appointment with Karen today and was thoroughly impressed. She obviously has excellent training and experience and continues to research the most up-to-date medical information and techniques. She answered all of my questions and provided a variety of exercises to help rehabilitate my knee and back. The exercise plan is available online complete with directions, accompanying photos and videos to ensure proper technique. I am feeling very hopeful and am grateful she is here.

Born with scoliosis, I’ve visited or researched physiotherapists wherever we’ve lived and become something of an expert in the incompetence of the Industrial Medical Industry.
I am glad to say, Karen Reay is the rare exception. She is professional and thorough. After one session her treatment relieved the pain in my neck. To my surprise, she then sent me a link for a thoroughly personalised exercise course with videos and an exercise diary to cover the period.
If you are unlucky enough to suffer from scoliosis, if you are looking for help with an injury or just need to manage the problems of age, I would not hesitate to recommend Karen.

I came to Karen some time after I badly damaged a tendon in my right leg. Unfortunately because I waited so long for treatment I was experiencing a complex set of symptoms. My leg proved to be as stubborn as its owner. Karen's patience and expertise allowed her to layer by layer get at the root of the problem. The combination of in office therapy and strength and a stretching program groomed to my schedule and needs has returned my mobility to me. Simple thanks is not enough ... Karen deserves a statue!

I have been treated by Karen both in the UK and Spain for shoulder, lower back and knee problems. Karen is very thorough with her diagnosis and treatment. An added benefit is that when she recommends exercises she provides videos showing how they should be performed which I have found very useful. Compared to the UK, her charges are very reasonable. Karen also runs online Pilates classes which my wife has taken part in for a number of years.

My husband is immobile at the moment and Karen came to visit us at our villa in the Campo.
Karen was extremely professional in all her communications with me.
The visit was excellent- she gave me simple exercises I could help Roland with-
Light weight- lifting exercises and leg stretches.
My husband can often be a "difficult patient"-
He was not difficult with Karen!
He found her helpful and personable-
A very important quality, that many professionals do not seem to possess!
For me, that was crucial

Karen also explained the medical/physical reasons he has his current mobility problems, which I found very useful in order for me to better understand the situation we are in.

I have a much better understanding of my husband's disabilities and feel more able to empathize with him and learnt a lot from watching the success Karen had with her communication skills with my husband

I would whole- heartedly recommend Karen for her patience, understanding and professional knowledge

Karen’s online Pilates classes have helped me to strengthen my back and hips after I had resolved pain with chiropractic care. I’m really grateful for her professional and practical care both in the classes and during our consultation. I have been almost completely pain free for the last two and a half years. I definitely recommend Karen’s services to anyone dealing with ongoing pain!

I am here in Malaga with my husband on a 2 week holiday to escape the Canadian winter. With all the walking and sightseeing we have been doing, my back and hip began to hurt with every step. I found Karen on line and saw her twice. She worked on my back and each time I left feeling so much better...and able to continue sightseeing. She gave me exercises to continue my rehabilitation. I highly recommend Karen.

Definitely recommend! Professional, efficient, safe and friendly from start to finish.

I really appreciated Karen's honesty when she explained that I could manage the recovery of my shoulder injury without the need for a full course of sessions.

The exercises she gave me to do have been working the injury is getting noticeably better and better in less than 24h. Mobility and strength, with significantly less pain.

Highly recommend if you need a physiotherapist in Malaga or surrounding areas in Spain!

*****Thank you so much Karen *****

Karen has treated me several times for a recovery of a broken elbow. I really appreciate her thoroughness, expertise, and friendliness. She is able to explain things very clearly and gives clear instructions on how to move forward. I’m thankful I found her and am thankful for the improvement I’m experiencing.
