Reviews of The Body Compass
G.Lou has been a great help with my back issues over the last couple of years. I’ve really appreciated her gentle, whole-body approach and knowledge, and her practical suggestions on how to help strengthen my body and prevent recurring issues (which I still need to work on!). It’s a blow for me that she’s left Bristol but great for those in NZ that she’ll be able to treat!
e.I have been working with Lou for over three years now. In that time, every session I had with her was positive and informative. I found them extremely interesting and I came away from each session feeling more knowledgeable regarding what I was physically struggling with. I have brought two different "injuries" to Lou, and I saw improvement in the first one once I started doing the exercises she prescribed regularly. Overall, Lou is an extremely intelligent professional who provides a warm and trusting atmosphere.
A.I was diagnosed with Cerebellar Ataxia which means that I had difficulty in balance, co-ordination and movement. Lou was recommended to me as one of her specialities is balance.
The first time that Lou and I met we spent the time together understanding where I was with my balance and coordination. Louise quickly identified exercises that I should do on a daily basis and throughout our time together these have evolved and changed. There have been times when I have let the exercises drop and I notice that there is a deterioration in my balance and confidence. Through trial and error, I have discovered that after a period of not doing the exercises, if I start them again, then my balance and confidence return which makes them a very powerful tool.
Throughout the time with Lou I have kept a diary and the following are one or two of my entries that illustrate the improvements I’ve noticed:
In order to remain mobile, I still go for a run on a regular basis and have observed that I am able to run down a single track on the edge of a corn field with-out keep toppling off the path.
My running shorts have a zip back pocket to keep a key in. I am now able to reach back and unzip the pocket, put a key in it and zip it up again. Previously I had to take the shorts off to access the pocket.
Buttons, I’m able to do up the buttons on a shirt once ironed and lying flat on the ironing board. Also, I’m able to do up the buttons of the shirt once its on.
With my exercises, as devised by Lou, I have a tool that enables me to ground my balance and enables me to be proactive and to continue as I am.
J.I have seen Lou for various injuries and i've been impressed with her knowledge and understanding of the body. Lou is always determined to get to the route of the problem rather than simply deal with the obvious issues. Her manipulation and exercises have really helped me recover and return to the sports. Thanks so much and I highly recommend her.
L.I have been seeing Lou for over 18 years. She has worked wonders on all my body challenges, aches and pains and enabled me to keep fit and active. She is doing very exciting work with concussion with younger children in sport, something close to my heart as a mother to two rugby playing boys. I can thoroughly recommend her. Her care, sensitivity and professionalism is outstanding.
C.I first met Lou 21 years ago when she treated my newborn son who had endured a very difficult delivery into the world. The first appointment made a phenomenal difference and only one further session was required to change our distressed baby into a settled happy little chap.
I have long term back issues which she has helped to manage throughout 3 further pregnancies and more recent treatment which has enabled me to pursue my love of running and cycling.
Lou has a scientific approach to her work but also an instinctive knack of getting to the crux of any problems, it’s a winning combination and I regularly recommend her to friends.
C.Lou helped me to sort out various creaks, aches and pains which I had previously put down to old age. Having always been pretty physically active and conscious, I particularly appreciated the trouble Lou took to explain things and answer questions. So, as well as feeling physically much better having been through her care, I also feel I have learned a lot about how to look after myself better going forward!
k.Since I have been seeing Lou, I have not only been able to heal and strengthen my initial injury but my health in general has improved. I originally went to her with a torn muscle in my calf - she helped me with that but also drew attention to the underlying issues (some of which, like my lower back pain, I have struggled with for over 20 years) Since seeing Lou, my energy and overall physical wellbeing has improved considerably. In one session, she is able to bring one into balance but also give constructive exercises to shift both mental and physical patterns and encourage movement and wellbeing. I now consider my visits to her as important as a regular check up with the doctor or dentist. She also has a great sense of humour and positive attitude that is infectious.
M.I went to Louise Bashall on recommendation and was rewarded with unbelievable expertise in her art. I visited her in extreme hip pain produced by osteoarthritis, - after her manipulations I was pain free. Louise advised me how to manage my deteriorating hip but in the meantime I was able to resume practically all aspects of my normal everyday life. This lady has amazing know how and magic hands!

A.Our son has been seeing Lou since early September, originally seeking her help and advice about neuro developmental delays. Our son struggles academically, with his anger/behaviour at home and in particular with daily anxieties.
Lou’s calm temperament engaged him from his first visit and now asks to see her when he feels tense and stressed. We always leave with a relaxed happy boy and can without doubt see the difference in his behaviour and ability to be calm.
We 100% recommend Lou for her expertise, knowledge and welcoming, kind nature.
Thank you Lou for helping our little man.
A.I went to Louise at The Body Compass to help me with balance problems I experienced from the condition Labyrinthitis. After a series of sessions and exercises given to me in my own time, step by step my symptoms reduced considerably. A major breakthrough for me. Very professional and I would highly recommend Louise for balance issues and other health issues you may be facing.
R.Lou has powered me through my recovery from a head injury and ligament damage following a cycling accident a year ago. From the very first days of nasty concussion and pain through to fine tuning the longer-term balance and alignment issues, throughout she has been vastly knowledgable, professional, kind and - most importantly - effective!! I feel lucky to have had her passion and experience in balance, dizziness and coordination issues to guide me to a full and lasting recovery.
J.Thank you, Lou, I greatly appreciate your kind and reassuring approach, you always make me feel I'm in very safe hands. I am always completely impressed with the depth of knowledge and passion you so obviously have for your subject and the results are self evident. Looking forward to my next visit.
C.I would highly recommend Lou and found my sessions with her extremely interesting informative and helpful. She is very good at putting you at ease in a way that is both friendly and professional, giving great confidence in her abilities.
G.After seeing the difference Dr Bashall had made in a very short period of time with a friend who had been suffering for months with a balance disorder I felt I should contact Dr B because of the stiffness in my neck and shoulders and tingling fingers from excessive use on the laptop. Dr B’s approach was professional, reassuring and very effective from our first meeting.
I couldn’t believe how the minor adjustments made in one session could have such an immediate effect not just on my body but more importantly my mind too. Dr B’s wealth of experience and passion of both these disciplines is so evident, which is why I confidently would recommend her to anyone. She doesn’t just fix your back , she fixes your mind too! A massive thank you for your ongoing support and advice .

M.Having suffered with disc issues in my back for quite some time, I came across AIM (Anatomy in motion) and found Louise in my search for a local practitioner. I booked a 2 hour introductory session and went along not really knowing what to expect. When I left 2 hours later I had a much better understanding of what was going on with my back, but more importantly, how my feet and subsequent overall physicality play a huge part in my back issues. I left the session pain free and armed with daily exercises that are really changing the way I stand and walk for the better. My body is feeling much more aligned and my pain levels are reduced to practically zero.
I have since had another session with Louise and plan to continue. She is ever happy to answer my seemingly endless list of questions. I cannot recommend Lou and AIM enough. My only regret is that I didn't discover this approach 10 years ago. I could have saved myself a lot of pain.
R.Lou works with our 6 year old son who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. I don’t think she’d heard of the condition before - it’s a rare disease - but we were so comforted by her research and willingness to learn in order to help Felix in the most effective way. Lou drives 40 minutes to treat him which is incredible testimony to her commitment to his health. She is astutely intuitive and picks up on where tension needs releasing and while he can’t express exactly how he feels, he will say ‘I need a Lou day’ when he’s in discomfort. Lou has also raised money running the Paris marathon and is volunteering as a chiropractor on our annual 8 day fundraising cycle ride to help find a cure for Duchenne. We feel very fortunate for her care and compassion.
