After 8 years on Otley Street I’ve now moved back to Albert Street to a bright and spacious clinic.
Providing soft tissue therapy, massage, advice and rehabilitation for anyone struggling with aches and pains, recovering from injury or wanting to optimise sports performance at whatever level.
I look forward to welcoming you to the clinic for treatment or to discuss how I can help.

Last few days of the sale, still a couple of pairs of women’s shoes in size 4, a few pairs of men’s in size 11 and 12 and some children’s sizes left.

Get in touch for more details, the shop is usually open 9-10am as well as other short times each day.

As some of you know or have seen the sign, Fit for Purpose is moving premises in the next couple of months. I am moving back to Albert Street very near to my first Skipton clinic and will be concentrating on the clinic side of the business.

I will still be offering soft tissue therapy and sports massage to help with injuries or everyday aches and pains with rehab advice and exercises aiming to help all clients perform at their best whether in sport or life. I will also still be offering running gait analysis and bike fitting.

The shop will not be continuing after the move and therefore all shoes and clothing are reduced with up to 50% off full price. So call in and pick up a bargain in the last few weeks of the sale. The shop isn’t open full time at the moment while I am busy with clients. It’s usually open between 9 and 10am as well as another couple of hours each day so get in touch and we can find a time to suit you.

Look out for more notifications of the move as I prepare my new Fit for Purpose clinic.

🤞Reopening plans 🤞

A year ago we were heading into the first lockdown but now things are looking brighter and there is some positive news that we are hopefully able to reopen for face to face therapy appointments as well as the shop from 12th April. That’s less than 4 weeks to go ! 😊

It will be confirmed nearer the time and I’ve not started taking bookings just yet in case things change. I have a list of people who have been in touch wanting appointments and I’ll be in touch soon to get those booked in. If anyone else would like an appointment on reopening please get in touch by email or phone and we can get that sorted.

If anyone wants advice or help before then, again just get in touch and we’ll try and help either with a phone or video consultation.

Hopefully this is the last time we’ll be preparing to reopen and it is the start of getting back to our safe, active and healthy lives without restrictions. 🤞💪🤸‍♀️🚵‍♂️🏊‍♀️🏃‍♀️☀️

There is still also the sale on clothing and New Balance shoes that was promised for January! 👟👟👕

Stay safe and I look forward to seeing you all again soon.😀

Following the government announcement of lockdown 3 we are once again having to close the shop and clinic at Fit for Purpose. Guidance from our Professional Associations means we are currently unable to provide face to face treatments and appointments. Although frustrating we have to close again, with the increase in Covid cases nationally and locally this seems the sensible and right decision at this time.

However, we are still here to help and support you through this time. So if you have any queries or concerns with injuries or pain and want some advice on how to manage and rehab injuries please do get in touch.

If you have an appointment booked and I’ve not yet contacted you I will be in touch soon.

Hopefully this will only be for a few weeks and we can all get back to seeing people, going places and doing what we want safely soon.

Take care and see you soon

Lockdown / tier 4 restrictions depending the shop and clinic will reopen on Monday 4th January. Get in touch if you want to book an appointment and look out for details of a sale on New Balance shoes and clothing coming in Jan.

***Covid-19 Update***
We are still waiting for clarification following the lockdown announcement on Saturday. It is looking likely that the shop and clinic will both have to close from Thursday 5th November, hopefully reopening on 2nd December but specific details have yet to be released.
If you have an appointment booked from Thursday I will be in touch if we do have to close and it needs to be rearranged.
Hopefully the details will become clear before Thursday!

The shop has very limited opening hours for the next 2 days while I am busy with clinic appointments. If anyone wants anything from the shop get in touch and we’ll arrange a convenient time for you to call in.

The clinic is now open and we can offer face to face appointments again.
There are restrictions and extra safety procedures in place so please bear with us as we get used to the new way of working. There is also a reduced capacity for treatments but we will do our best to fit everyone in as soon as we can.

If you want to make an appointment or have any questions then please get in touch.

We look forward to welcoming you back.

We are currently still unable to reopen the clinic for sports massage and soft tissue therapy treatments and don’t yet have a date for reopening.
Our professional associations are working hard to get some clarity on when we can get back to work and help support all our clients again. We are working on plans to keep everyone safe with extra precautions and cleaning in place when we can reopen.

The shop is open part time so you can always call in for a socially distanced chat about any injuries, or get in touch by phone or email for advice.

We will update when we have a date to take appointments and look forward to seeing you back in the clinic, hopefully sometime soon.
