Helping to achieve physical goals, whether that be in sports or everyday life, or get back to themselves after injury or surgery, we offer a spectrum of physical therapy treatments, so every client can find a method that works for them. From superficial treatment of minor injuries such as muscle sprains, right through to rehabilitation of serious injuries like fractures or soft tissue ruptures… From expert advice on back care, to teaching Pilates and a range of exercises to help you move functionally and pain free… Personal Best Sports Therapy can offer the best treatment for you.

“I love my job. I love seeing the changes in people, from when they come to me in pain, to when they walk out again pain free, and go on to achieve something life changing for them.”

Meet Tamsin, the friendly face behind Personal Best Sports Therapy, and your treatment provider. Tamsin has been working as a soft tissue therapist in Torbay since 2014, when she qualified as a holistic massage therapist with Devon Academy of Complimentary Therapies. Since then she has been working hard to gain more and more qualifications and experience. Her list of certificates is ever growing, but to date includes level 3 Swedish and Indian Head Massage, Level 3 Sports Massage, Level 4 and 5 Sports Therapy, Level 3 Personal Training and Level 3 Pilates Instruction. Most recently she has achieved the status of Bodymaster Practitioner, having studied under renowned UK Osteopath, John Gibbons, and also gained a qualification in Acupuncture for soft tissue injuries.

“Tamsin keeps me fit and healthy with regular sports massages (although I’m not a sports fanatic) I just needed help with chronic muscle problems. She’s encouraging and supportive and has worked so hard to improve my physical fitness. I’m now able to live an active and pain free life and I’m loving it.””

“After breaking my ankle with multiple ligament damage whilst running Tamsin was very keen to get me back on track and gave me weekly treatments ( ultrasound and massage ) which massively sped up my recovery. Further down the line she also gave me some great exercise’s and stretches to help build the ankle back up, without her help I wouldnt of been able to get back to running so quickly after the break and I thank you.”

“Last year I suffered an injury to my MCL whilst playing rugby which kept me off the field for 7 months. I went through rehab with Tamsin which worked wonders and got me back playing far earlier than expected. The training was intense, but fun and very rewarding and I highly recommend Tamsin to anyone who has a sports related injury!”

Personal Best Sports Therapy: Opinions

5/5 (50 Opinions)
les tozer 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent service, has severe back pain and after only 3 visits to Kathryn and some home exercises I was sent saw a massive improvement

Whisty 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I've had two assessment sessions so far to address back issues (something all to common for the 60+!). Highly professional assessments by Kathryn at Newton Abbot, and the exercises I've been prescribed (together with the excellent TeleHab App to monitor progress) have made a noticeable difference to pain levels, strength and flexibility. What I also appreciate enormously is the follow up available via email to query technique/effects etc. I'm hoping to be back playing golf in the next week or so which really says something about the progress made. Thanks Kathryn!

Nathan Johnson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been visiting Anne from personal best therapy for several months now. When I first arrived I was unable to run without issues and now I am able to run consistently thanks to a structured rehab and treatment plan created Anne. Anne is very knowledgeable and provides an excellent professional service

Teresa Palmer 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent care and diagnosis. Very quick appointment process. Kathryn made me feel like I was was in good, professional and caring hands. I thoroughly recommend Kathryn.

Matthew pile 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Brilliant experience with Kathryn spoke about the problem before so she could help fix the problem in the best way, very professional throughout and feel a lot better now.

Kieran Goss 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Excellent physio and massages by Kathryn that helped me get past leg pain and back to training hard again

Leanne Reeves 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had a highly professional consultation with Anne who was able to diagnose my running injury. She took the time to fully assess and understand my injury which enabled her to gain a full picture of the problem and to give me the best possible muscle strengthening exercises. She was also able to help me make a plan to get back to running which was invaluable. The exercises she gave me were manageable with a busy schedule and alongside my plan to get back to running I was able to notice positive results within two weeks! I am now back running again fully after one month. Thank you Anne, your advice has made such a difference!

Steve Marsland 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started getting treatment from Tamsin for a knee problem that had stopped me skiing and taking part in any sports that involved running. Through a combination of treatments and her suggested exercises I am now back skiing and running. The treatments that Tamsin carried out has enabled me to be as active as I have ever been with little problems. I would have no hesitation in recommending Tamsin to anyone that needed any of the treatments that she offers.

Lorraine Bolger 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I damaged my shoulder at work which then caused further pain in my neck and headaches. Tamsin found the cause, treated it and gave me a series of exercises to keep my shoulder flexible and I’m still problem free. I couldn’t thank her more for her professional and friendly treatment and would gladly travel from Plymouth if I needed her help again.

Alison Steer 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Tamzin has been fantastic for my daughter who plays netball at a high level. She sometimes will have just a full body massage or a more intensive session as part of an injury recovery programme. Tamzin is very professional & my daughter has learnt so much about her body, injury prevention etc. Would highly recommend

Swallow Woodworking 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Personal-best therapy is definitely my first choice when I have picked up a niggle or an injury. Tamsin always goes out of her way to fit me in for an appointment at a time to suit even she is really busy. The quality of the treatment is high too, she’s effective at coming up with a diagnosis, but at the same time not afraid to say “I’m not sure what’s causing that but let’s try this”, a rare trait for a soft tissue therapist.

Colin Holmes 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Over the past few months Tamsin has treated me and given valuable advice on long term problems with shoulder and lower back mobility associated with years of active sports. She has been entirely professional and my experience of her treatments has been very positive. I keep exercises advised by her going; I no longer have shoulder or back problems and thankfully able to pursue active sports . I have no hesitation in recommending her services.

Resilience Online Coaching 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I Have been a client of PB Sport therapy for years. Every time i have had a injury Tamsin has always been incredible, both in treatment terms and also flexibility of appointments (even when she is busy!). I really could not recommend her more.

Iris Butler 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I saw Tamsin as I was suffering from a problem with my shoulder. After my consultation and treatment, I have continued with the exercises Tamsin suggested and my shoulder is fine now. I have been very happy to recommend Personal Best Sports Therapy to friends.

Fantastic experience: Tamsin is great at identifying a problem and providing physio as well as suggesting exercises that really help, especially for an ageing footie player as in my case.

Vicky Dumayne 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My experience with Personal Best Therapy has been excellent, I have seen Tamsin a number of times now for various ailments and I have always come away very happy with the treatment that I have received. Tamsin is attentive & thorough in her work and I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Ian Buswell 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: After visiting numerous sports therapists over the years, I found Tamsin a few years ago and now wouldn't go anywhere else. She listens to her patients before coming to a diagnosis rather than just jumping to conclusions. The treatment and rehabilitation plans she then designs specifically for the injury and the individual and has always got me back to normal really quickly. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anything from a sore neck to serious injuries.

Sam Savage 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My back pain has never been in such professional competent hands. Tamsin is a true genius in pinpointing the problem and getting to work on it. Fast result.. my back felt better within minutes of my session.

Katie Brock 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Was recommended Tamsin through my running cub and she is an excellent sports therapist. I suffered from a bad achilles injury in June 2019 and was treated for this, was given exercises to do in my own time which was really helpful. She is very reliable, professional and flexible with appointments. I purchased several products to help with the rehab which was priced very reasonable. Would highly recommend.

Paul Norris 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I first met Tamsin when she worked at Devon Hills. I had a multitude of issues with my lower back and legs. Tamsin was extremely attentive from the off and worked with me to understand my particular issues. We scheduled in weekly sessions for deep tissue work and also came up with a tailored stretching plan to help with some muscular imbalances. Tamsin has a deep understanding of her field and the treatment doesn't feel 'generic' but extremely customised. Highly recommend Tamsin.

J REED 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a problem with my hamstring which wouldn't get better for months. A couple of visits to Tamsin and she not only diagnosed the issue on my first visit but gave me some exercises and after the second visit and some more exercises I was fixed. I have been back several times with different issues over the years as they are great.

Rich 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was recommended Tamsin by my PT. I had severe arm and shoulder pain-so much that I would wake 4/5 times during sleeping with strong pain. I really thought it would be a waste of time and I should see a doctor instead. WRONG, after the first session the difference was fantastic. Could sleep without waking and she had cut the pain in half. Only needed one more session and I was pretty much fixed. Thank you Tamsin.

Mary Foulstone 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Certainly the BEST Rehab, Sports and Therapy I have ever received. After serious horse riding injuries 20 years ago I never thought in less than a year I would be as mobile as I am now. Trust and confidence for me in a therapist, is rare and Tamsin Philp makes me wonder why I ever worried.

Fantastic experience: I visit Tamsin regularly for massage on my arthritic knees, an on going condition. However, recently I have suffered an ankle problem ,but have received massage, strengthening exercises and a follow up call this week , to see how the injury is progressing. I have always found Tamsin both professional and caring and would recommend her to any of my friends or family .

Alex Munro 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Personal Best Sports Therapy for nearly 2 years. Their level of knowledge and attention to detail is second to none. I am a keen runner and regular appointments with Tamsin have definitely helped me avoid injury and keep running. She also got me back running ahead of schedule following a hamstring tear and the personally tailored rehab plan really worked.

Jill Clements 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was suffering from shin pain after running. I had been advised by a running store that I needed stability running shoes, but after a thorough examination (and the best sports massage ever) Tamsin recommended I go back to my regular running shoes. I came out of the appointment feeling about 18 again , with absolutely no shin pain. I returned to using my regular running shoes and I had no symptoms after that. I would highly recommend. Tamsin is an expert in her field and she will be my first port of call if I have any injuries or pain in the future. If you want expert advice and treatment, I would highly recommend! X

Fantastic experience: Since I discovered Personal Best I haven't used anyone else. I have the chronic annoyance of achilles tendonopothy. I have always been offered an appointment quickly, and recieved high quality care in a relaxed environment.

lucy nelson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Running has been my saviour in a very difficult year- I have had several visits to Personal Best Therapy and cannot praise them enough for understanding me and how important being able to run is to my well being. They have gone above and beyond, nothing is too much trouble, whether it’s fitting in last minute appointments that suit or sending extra advice -(excellent exercises shown on videos so easy to follow)and getting me back out running! Always very professional, expert knowledge and superb treatment. Thank you

Psychedelic Funkmonkey 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've had a bad shoulder and neck for some weeks now and was recommended to get a sports massage. My partner and I were on a trip round Devon and Tamzin was so accommodating for the both of us in the short time we had in the area. It was the first time I've had a sports massage and didn't know what to expect. Within the 45 minutes I was there Tamzin really went to work on my neck and shoulders, making my muscles feel much lighter and improving my flexibility in my neck with lessend pain. The effects of which have improved further over the last couple of days. Couldn't be more happier and impressed with the results. Thanks Tamzin.
