Restored Eden Physiotherapy — Physiotherapist in Southampton, England

Lois really did a great job and tackled my problem area with skill and precision after she gave me hope that I can overcome the slight hunch I have developed in my upper back which had affected my self confidence. She also emailed me some exercises which I can do at home which are super helpful too. Lois is very professional but also very empathetic and I thoroughly recommend her.

I had an excellent experience with Lois Dolman, physiotherapist today. She met me at reception, introduced herself clearly and asked for permission for a trainee, Dan to observe our session, which I appreciated. She took the time to ask detailed questions about my situation (BPPV - vertigo, dizziness, nausea and vestibular problems) really listening and trying to understand my symptoms in order to identify the best treatment. I found it especially helpful that she used videos to explain what the treatment involved so that I could be prepared. She also used Dan to demonstrate. She was gentle, professional and reassuring, guiding me through the treatment movements. Although the results were not exactly what she initially expected, she explained clearly why that might be and what it could mean, which I found both helpful and reassuring. At the end of the appointment, she kindly walked me back to my husband, explained to him what he needed to look out for and do, and ensured that I was safe to leave the building, which was very thoughtful. Throughout the entire process, Lois communicated everything clearly and made me feel comfortable, informed and supported. I would highly recommend her.

I had another most amazing deep tissue massage with Lois a week ago! She's so professional, and compassionate. She understood quickly what I needed, and I feel soo much better, as she dealt with a lot of tension in my neck and shoulders. Thank you Lois 😊 I'd highly recommend Restored Eden Physiotherapy!

Had a full body massage with Lois and it was amazing. As a cyclist I get a lot of tightness in my legs and upper back, and she really helped work out all the built-up tension. Walked out feeling looser and much fresher. Highly recommend!!

I had a small tear in my MCL prior to Christmas so came to Lois for a consultation. Lois assessed my knee and gave me a massage. I had a skiing holiday at the end of January and I was fearful I wouldn’t be able to go, but thanks to Lois I was able to go and skied with no pain. Would 100% recommend.

Lois is an amazing physiotherapist professional. I can't find enough words to describe how helpful, careful and knowledgeable she's been with my son's sessions. We have had fantastic experiences with her in the last two sessions! She was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to thoroughly explain everything. My son felt comfortable and confident in her care. The exercises the physiotherapist gave him were tailored to his needs to the highest standards. I highly recommend Lois, she definitely goes for the extra mile to help successfully!

I can’t recommend Lois at Restored Eden highly enough! My 12-year-old daughter had been struggling with knee and back pain, and after just two sessions with Lois, she’s completely pain-free. From the start, the booking process was straightforward and Lois was so accommodating with scheduling. What really impressed me was how Lois took the time during the first session to talk with my daughter and really understand where the pain was coming from. She had her do various stretches and exercises to properly diagnose the issue, which actually turned out to be originating in her thigh rather than where she was feeling the pain. Lois worked systematically - first on her thigh, then her knee, then her back. She explained that she’d finished the work on the thigh but needed another session for the knee and back, which I really appreciated - no rushing through or trying to do too much at once. The second session focused on her back and knee, and Lois’s technique is genuinely impressive. You could tell she knew exactly what she was doing and could feel when she’d released the tension. She was also brilliant at putting my daughter at ease throughout - friendly and professional. It’s now been about three weeks since the second session and my daughter hasn’t had any of the pain she was dealing with before. Lois clearly knows her stuff and takes the time to understand each person’s individual needs rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Would absolutely recommend Restored Eden to anyone needing sports massage!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Four weeks ago I pulled a muscle while getting dressed and was in a lot of pain for that morning. By the end of the day I was able to get around ok but was in pain for the next 3 weeks but getting better. I wasn't sleeping hardly though as I couldn't get comfortable. Last week my daughter recommended Lois Dolman to give me a massage. By today I was back to sleeping better and the pain had almost gone. So I didn't think I needed physiotherapy. My goodness I was so pleased I kept the appointment...after assessing me Lois gave me a massage (never in my 68 years have I had one before) and I just felt so much better in myself afterwards, I was able to move around better and felt lighter. Thank you so very much Lois...you are a miracle worker. Starting to feel a little stiff now as you said I might right after the treatment, and hoping that will wear off soon. I will update you.

I had an amazing experience with Lois. She was very professional, attentive, and really took the time to understand my needs. The massage was relaxing yet therapeutic — I left feeling completely refreshed and tension-free. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality care and genuine skill!

I visited Lois at Restored Eden Physiotherapy due to foot pain and anxiety about hiking a high mountain. She was fantastic — her recovery massages, warm-up and stretching advice, and genuine encouragement really helped me. After just two sessions, I feel stronger, more confident, and ready to keep exercising. Lois is knowledgeable, caring, and truly dedicated to her patients. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking effective treatment and holistic support.
