Welcome

Our goal is to create robust, energized bodies and address injuries through personalized diagnosis, treatment, and care. We work to align and optimise your body, enhancing strength, balance, and performance.

With over 15 years of teaching experience since 2004, Fiona is a Yoga Alliance UK Senior Yoga Teacher specializing in Ashtanga Yoga instruction for students and fellow practitioners. Her adaptable and enjoyable classes cater to diverse needs, promoting fitness, flexibility, and sports performance.

Fiona Diggle offers groundbreaking KORE body alignment therapy, targeting underlying causes of various conditions for injury recovery and balance. Complementing her yoga practice, she became a qualified KORE therapist in 2016 and an acupuncturist in 2018.

Fiona's expertise combines with her yoga teaching to offer a comprehensive package: addressing musculoskeletal issues, promoting strength, energy, flexibility, and overall fitness.

Yoga

​Fiona is a friendly and experienced Senior Yoga Alliance Teacher - aiming for all her clients to increase their flexibility and fitness whilst enjoying the class. 

She originally trained as an Ashtanga Yoga teacher and now delivers classes taking her inspiration from Vanda Scaravelli.

All of her yoga classes are relaxed and fun - taken at the client's own pace. She caters for all levels of fitness - from total beginners through to experienced yogis.  

As a keen sportswoman Fiona has worked with many different Athletes. Most recently she has held bespoke yoga classes for rugby players, swimmers, cyclists and pistol shooters - targeting their 'problem' strength and flexibility areas to help enhance their sports performance and to assist in preventing injury. 

Classes are small and can be taught in groups or individually. Everyone is welcome - just bring yourself and wear loose comfortable clothing.  

For clients with specific injury or pain problems, all yoga programmes can be tailored to work in conjunction with KORE therapy treatment.

Acupuncture

Fiona has recently completed a CPD to learn NADA and Battlefield protocols both of which are auricular treatments.

NADA is a powerful protocol for treating addiction, helping with anxiety and stress amongst many other things including a sense of inner quiet and strength.

“Hi Fiona, just to let you know how K & I have been doing since we had our treatment last week. We both have been feeling great, relaxed, calm and an overall feeling of well-being. Neither of us have had any restless leg and let me say that is huge for us. Khas been able to sit and relax, read a book and watch tv without her legs jumping. My body certainly feels lighter and easier to carry if that makes sense. We both thank you so much for your expertise.”

Fiona will be offering this as a one off or a series of 6 sessions which you can book through the website. Each session takes about half an hour.

BATTLEFIELD is for pain. It is remarkable for reducing pain in the body; involving semi-permanent needles meaning the needles stay in your ears for up to four days

Battlefield acupuncture will be offered as a pain relief or as part of an existing treatment to help reduce pain

K.O.R.E Therapy

Kinaesthetic Optimum Recovery Enhancement (KORE) is a unique treatment and assessment system that can treat a variety of chronic conditions.  It incorporates Western diagnosis methods with Eastern treatment therapies. 

KORE therapy has had a huge impact on the fitness and sporting world - being utilised by top athletes and the British Army to aid recovery, enhance performance and treat underlying conditions. 

Each KORE session starts the same way - the therapist completes a fully clothed painless diagnosis by testing muscles.  Once the problem and its root cause have been established, the client receives a series of treatments to relieve any pain, reduce stress, encourage recovery and restore energy levels.  

Every treatment combination is unique to the client's requirements, however, it may include; cupping, cranial balancing, Anmo Fu (deep organ massage), Tui-na (deep tissue massage), Qi gung (energy balancing), Acupuncture and food tolerance testing. 

The aim of the treatment is to realign the body so that it can return to working efficiently.  Post treatment, Fiona can also provide bespoke exercise programmes to facilitate rehabilitation and enhance recovery maintenance.

As well as accelerating sporting performance, it has been discovered that KORE therapy and Acupuncture is very effective at treating a large variety of conditions including: back pain, neck problems, sports injuries, asthma, migraines, digestive issues (including IBS/Crohn's disease), depression, skin complaints, arthritis, fatigue, infertility, frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, stress - and many more besides. 

Treatment can be on a regular basis or may last several sessions depending on the individual's requirements. Some changes can be quick and dramatic, whilst others may take longer - it depends on your body and how long you've had your injury. 

Testimonials

  • I went with an open mind not really sure what the treatment was.... but thought anything is better than nothing ....having suffered unexplainable bad joint pain for the past year, with hip pain previously and waking up stiff and tired every morning! I am pleased to report that after having 2 sessions during my holidays back home in Dumfriesshire I have woken up in my own bed with no stiffness and managed climbing Merrick (800+meters) with NO HIP PAIN...I am looking forward to my return to work through my list... but feel more confident to try more physical activity now without having consequences.. THANK YOU FIONA!

  • After seeing physiotherapists and sports therapists Fiona was recommended to me by a friend. I was told to go with an open mind and 2 sessions later my Plantar Fasciitis had gone. Highly recommended, especially if you want to leave with knowledge about your injuries other than just the standard stretches you get from the physio

  • Took my daughter, a 13 years old dancer, to KORE with an injured hamstring and on 2 crutches. Tia came out of the first session off her crutches, attended 2 more sessions and with the therapy and advice given on stretching and exercise too, she is now fully fit and also no longer experiencing strains or pain even after a small break from dancing, which she always did in the past. Thank you

  • Lewis, a competitive swimmer, has started attending KORE sessions, not for a particular injury, but for relaxation, strength and flexibility, to benefit him before he attends big national events. He always leaves his sessions feeling good inside and out. Thank you

    Lewis

  • I can't recommend KORE therapy enough. I dislocated, fractured, cut the nerves and wrecked the muscles in my shoulder and arm after falling off my bike. I underwent surgery to remove bone fragments, put bones back into the correct place with screws, moved the muscles into the right place and stitched them back up. My recovery has been a long process. However, KORE therapy has definitely sped up my recovery. Regular sessions have not only eased the pain, they have increased movement and they have been very relaxing. My surgeon and physio have been amazed at the speed of my recovery and I truly believe this is down to Fiona's voodoo magic. Thank you so much!

  • I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed today and how great I felt afterwards. It’s miraculous! I will crack on with the exercises and be in touch very soon for another appointment. In the meantime, would it be possible to make an appointment for my hubby?!
