Amaia D’Souza

I am currently in my final year of my MSc Physiotherapy degree and have so far gained clinical hands-on experience across MSK, Paediatrics and Amputees settings. I also have a background in Sport and Exercise Science (BSc), Sports Massage, and a PGCert in Optimisation of Health for Performance in Irish Dancers.

I am an elite Irish dancer (dancing for almost 15 years), and have competed internationally, including the World Irish dancing championships. My passion for sports therapy/physiotherapy developed through first-hand experience of managing multiple dance-related injuries, which has given me a deep insight into the physical demands required to perform at an elite level and the importance of moving well, recovering safely and staying strong.
I have supported local charities (Epilepsy and Multiple Sclerosis UK), through sports massage and have a particular interest in foot and ankle health, given the high mechanical demands placed on this area in most sports.
In my free time I enjoy training in the gym, and dancing. I am always looking for new ways to challenge my physical performance, and would like to compete in a hyrox and try out some new fitness challenges one day.
My aim is to bring together my experience as a competitive dancer with my clinical knowledge to support active individuals through injury prevention and rehabilitation.

I was referred to Reflex-18 earlier this year for a chronic injury that had been steadily getting worse, and I’m so thankful that I found them. Josh Harvey has been amazing throughout my recovery/rehabilitation journey. He truly listens, looks at my case from multiple angles, centres his approach around evidence and tailors a plan that focuses on reducing pain while improving my overall strength, movement, stability and function. As a dancer, it means a lot that he took my specific goals into account and adapted my treatment accordingly. Josh explains everything clearly, often drawing diagrams, mapping out timelines, and breaking down exactly why the issue may be happening. His detailed approach and structured recovery plan (including strategies for managing pain while dancing) have helped me make steady progress. Reflex-18 have also recently opened new classes, and I’ve really enjoyed the Pilates classes I started attending. Overall, I would 100% recommend Reflex-18 to anyone dealing with a persistent niggle or long-standing injury. Without Josh’s help, I would likely still be in the level of pain I was experiencing at the beginning of this year. I’m extremely grateful for the care and support I’ve received from Reflex-18.

I have had a few sessions now at Reflex-18 and I have really been impressed. I saw both Helen and Josh, who were both very professional and knowledgeable. The plan and advice they gave me has really helped me and I am no longer suffering the pain I had. Thoroughly recommend Reflex-18!

I came to James after suffering from a back injury in preparation for a marathon. He was thorough in trying to understand the root cause, not just the symptoms, and was instrumental on my road to recovery. Highly recommend for sports injuries.

Had my second physio session with Reflex-18 at CRFC, treatment and advice has been excellent, and the support between sessions has been brilliant. Feeling confident about recovery and getting back to it.

Tyler has been a revelation as both a Personal Trainer and Masseur. My wife and I have been working with him as a PT for several weeks and more recently I have seen him for two massages. In both respects he has proved himself to be a skilled and enthusiastic professional with an engaging manner and a keenness to educate. He is certainly making a positive impact on our physical conditioning and wellbeing. We have no hesitation in recommending him to others.
