GET BACK YOUR ACTIVE LIFE
Sore today & Stronger tomorrow
Meet Carla Stapleton owner and dedicated sports therapist whose journey began in 2015 with a Raynor Massage qualification. My passion for sports therapy ignited while working with the All Whites Ladies Rugby team, where she became passionate about injury assessments and rehabilitation. Pursuing My interests further, I graduated with a Sports Therapy degree from Exeter College in 2022. With hands-on experience providing pitch-side first aid and rehabilitation for teams like the Royal Marines and Devon Girls under 15’s, I am committed to helping athletes prevent injuries and enhance their performance.
From 2015 to 2022 I also worked in various clinics in Newton Abbot and Exeter with a mixed clientele presenting with sport, lifestyle injuries and long term health conditions.
In 2022 I graduated from university and completed my Aquacise and Pilates Instructor qualification. I am planning to use these extra skill sets to enhance my understanding and enable me to develop my client’s treatment plans.
Back pain
"I have suffered with mid-low back pain for around 7 years now and have tried absolutely everything to cure it. It is worst at night and significantly affects my sleep. I’ve been working with Carla for 6 weeks now and she has provided a personal service which is specifically tailored to my issues. Carla looks at the whole person, including lifestyle and has made recommendations focused on improved sleep. She has a thorough and methodical approach to identifying the issue and leaves no stone unturned. I would highly recommend Carla’s services and will be continuing to work with her in the future."
Acupuncture to help with chronic lower back pain
I have been suffering from chronic back pain for some time, with a diagnosis that requires fixing with surgery. While awaiting my operation, a msk specialist advised me to try acupuncture. Since then, I have been receiving weekly acupuncture treatments with Carla, and the results have been incredible. She has made my life significantly more comfortable, helping to reduce my peripheral pain to a level where I can manage daily life with much less discomfort. I genuinely cannot miss a week—this therapy and has been a lifesaver for me!” Carla clearly understands how this has affected me and has treated me holistically and empathically and I highly recommend her to others in the same situation.
