Knot Out Sports Massage & Pilates

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a few sports massages with Kat now after picking up running injuries and she’s got me back running in no time!, I can’t recommend enough and I will always go to her in the future! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: I went to see Kat for a post Ultra run sports massage. I arrived with very stiff quads and achy body . I honestly left with the soreness much relieved and my legs and body feeling revived. Thank you Kat ! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Kat! I was in a lot of pain with my neck and shoulder and she helped me with different techniques of how to prevent this happening with exercises. Kat provides a 5* service and is very professional and honest with her approach, with no pressure to over book your sessions.

Fantastic experience: After burning my back and a knee on separate occasions Kat has me back up and run quickly.

Fantastic experience: Excellent sports massage after playing in a 6-a-side football tournament. Consultation to discuss any problem areas and issues first. Really good massage session. Very happy to recommend Kat for a sports massage. See you soon for the next appointment.

Fantastic experience: Lauren has really helped with my troublesome calf and kept me running. Fantastically friendly, ultra professional and incredibly knowledgeable. I can't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I cannot rate Kat’s Pilates Class highly enough! I started with regular sports massage for a back injury and in order to strengthen my core Kat recommended Pilates. Having not done this before I was quite nervous about it, but the class is very welcoming and supportive and Kat is an experienced instructor. The classes are grouped in sessions of 6 weeks, progressing in difficulty if you choose to challenge yourself. Kat listens to requests to work on certain muscle groups and designs really effective, holistic and fun programs. For me as an older person improving my balance and flexibility and strengthening my core are my priorities and I can see very definite improvements which have delighted me. A very definite thumbs up from me.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend seeing Kat if you have any aches or pains. She’s been great helping me stay on top of my shoulder a back pain.

Positive experience: Kat offered genuine interest in my various aches and pains, she listened, offered advice and took great care. She was also happy to refer when I needed it. I would recommend Kats services for anyone wanting a sports massage with someone who knows how much it matters.

Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend going to Kat, her Pilates classes are well structured and are tailored to all abilities. I love coming away feeling stronger and calmer. I’ve also seen Kat for massage & acupuncture-which seems to have fixed a pain in my knee that I had been struggling with for almost 2 years.

Fantastic experience: Lauren is great. She's super knowledgeable and took the time to understand the issues I was having with her knee. She provided a great sports massage and also gave me some exercises to take away. I've been back to Lauren multiple times for a sports massage and it's great every time

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love going to Pilates with Kat. I started seeing Kat for sports massage and was going every 4 to 5 weeks with similar issues each time, including shoulder pain, sciatica and a tight lower back and glutes. Kat suggested I try her classes and I think I'm about a year in now. The blocks of 6 weeks work brilliantly, starting "easy" and getting progressively more challenging but only if you choose to do so, or feel able to. I am so much stronger, my arms have noticeably toned up and my back pain is gone! I've not had a sciatica flare for nearly a year. The stretching and strengthening is gentle but significant and even though I don't do anything extra outside the class, I'm so much stronger than I was. If you're thinking of taking a class, I can't recommend Kat enough! She's very encouraging, welcoming, non judgemental and makes you really believe in yourself. I walk out with so much more headspace than I have going in. I don't know why doctors don't prescribe pilates instead of painkillers!

Fantastic experience: Kat's pilates classes are fantastic - Kat is incredibly knowledgable and very friendly, and the studio is really relaxing. The 6 week blocks get progressively harder and I've seen real improvement throughout each block. Kat's sports massage is fantastic too and she really helped my husband to recover from a back issue. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Kat is a fantastic instructor, I had never tried Pilates before and come from a very non-sporting background but she made me feel very comfortable and welcome. Two years on I’m still going every week and have really benefited from them. She is consistently encouraging and provides really expert guidance to ensure participants maximise the gain from her class. I thoroughly enjoy Kat’s classes and would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Been to Kat a couple of times now with various aches and pains, and been really pleased with the results. Would thoroughly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Kat is always friendly and attentive, asking questions and confirming issues before starting any treatment.

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Kat at KnotOut on and off for a few years, and I wouldn't go anywhere else! She is professional, respectful, friendly, knowledgeable and very good at what she does... She has helped me with a variety of problems, more recently a very sore shoulder which is much improved Kat always listens and makes suggestions for ongoing exercises or treatment, and provides a very high class service! I would not hesitate to recommend her services, and frequently do!

Fantastic experience: Pilates classes with Kat are great ! Options are explained to make things easier or harder. We use a wide range of accessories. Type of sessions will evolve regularly and Kat makes sure to suggest bespoke exercises depending on your situation. I highly recommend these classes !

Fantastic experience: I started seeing Kat 3 years ago and I wouldn’t go to anyone now! She got to the actual problems of my pain and I have started her Pilates class I have now decreased my visits to her as for a sports message as I’m stronger and it has reduced my back pain! I can’t recommend her enough!

Fantastic experience: Restorative Pilates with Emma Started doing Pilates in January on a Tuesday eve with a friend and we love it! Emma is lovely and friendly, and very patient with explaining the different exercises. The studio has a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend Knot Out sports massage enough. When I first came to Kat I'd been struggling with pain in my hip adductor for several months which was preventing me from running & limiting my weight training. Kat is so knowledgeable about sports related injuries & pains, and she really took the time to figure out the root cause of my pain & helped me to understand the anatomy/physiology behind it. After two intense (in the best way) sports massages & following Kat's advise, my pain has all but resolved. I've enjoyed the sessions so much & found Kat's massages & knowledge so beneficial to my training that I'll be continuing to go to her regularly for the foreseeable. Highly recommend to any sports people to go see her!!! Your body & training will thank you for it.

Fantastic experience: Pilates with Kat Davies. Myself and a friend have been to several different Pilates classes over the last few years and are really pleased to have found Kat. Her classes are inclusive, friendly, and thoughtfully put together. To add to this Kat provides a level of challenge that is appropriate and scalable for all. Having had about 5 months away from most exercise due to injury and loss of motivation following on from that Kat's classes have eased me back in and driven me back to enjoying exercise and remembering how strong my body can be. In addition to this - no two classes are the same (increase in challenge, movements), awesome varying musical playlists, and above all they are run by a humble, unassuming, qualified instructor. We liked them so much we're now in to our second block of 10. Thank you Kat, looking forward to what 2024 brings!

Fantastic experience: 5 stars for Kat! I was in agony with lower back pain after an injury in the gym. After two sessions with Kat, this problem has completely alleviated. The assessment, massage treatment and advice on rehabilitation was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I started going to Kat a few months ago and had 3 sessions now. She has made an enormous difference in relieving the tightness in my neck and shoulders. Not only that but she has targeted other areas that I hadn’t realised were poor and given me much more flexibility and better posture. I would highly recommend even one session so she can pinpoint any areas that need work. She is also a very engaging friendly professional therapist. Treat your body and go and see her!

Fantastic experience: Kat is a fantastic sports therapist and pilates instructor. Kat has dramatically improved my hip mobility and posture, especially helping with tightness in my neck and shoulders. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Pippa for physio ever since I moved to Devon in 2021 and she’s really helped me to manage my neck mobility and pain issues

Fantastic experience: Been seeing both Kat and Pippa for an ongoing shoulder injury which was effecting work and gym. Both have been great and easing the pain and helping me manage and improve it going forward

Fantastic experience: Sadly my last visit today as moving away been seeing Kat for last 2 half years can't rate highly enough kept me running solved any problems I hadAnd easy to discuss any issues Thanks

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Proper diagnosis, no pain can hide from Kat's hands.

Fantastic experience: I've had an ongoing shoulder and elbow injury and even with other medical intervention, haven't been able to find pain relief or find a way to heal. Kat came highly recommended and after my first visit I can honestly say I had the first undisturbed nights sleep for months. I have a bit of a journey to get back to full health but for the first time I feel confident that I have found the right person to get me back to doing what I love. Thank you Kat

Fantastic experience: Kat is very knowledgeable. She discusses what she is going to do pre treatment and provides exercises post treatment if required . She is professional but also personable. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Kat has been an amazing help with sorting out my lower back issues and assisting my recovery for my recent ankle operation rehab. She's incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I've had several treatments with Kat, predominantly for a frozen shoulder, and every time has been fantastic and made a significant difference to my healing progress. She is professional and extremely knowledgeable, able to explain and advise, and I would highly recommend her sports massage.

Fantastic experience: Seen Kat a couple of times now and just a positive experience. Very knowledgeable and will advise on most things, massage therapy’s, stretching and exercises. The massage itself is great, in a lovely quiet calm setting and all painful knot’s massaged away. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Kat enough! I’ve had lots of massages in my life and she is by far THE BEST! I usually come for a sports massage, but this week I also needed a bit of relaxation so I chose to have 1/2 hour sports massage for my legs and 1/2 hour Indian head massage. I knew Kat was amazing working those achy muscles, and she was just as good for a relaxing massage! She also always gives you helpful tips for stretching at home, and has convinced me that I need to stretch every single time after I exercise, which I didn’t do before… Don’t hesitate, book in with her!

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Kat for a little while now to help with a tight hip and calves. I have seen a massive reduction in pain and mobility which in turn has had a huge impact on my running capabilities. She also has done some work on my torso to help my posture as I sit at a desk all day. Cannot recommend her enough. For those that are into competing, her pre and post massages are exactly what you need to avoid injury and help fast recovery!

Fantastic experience: Kat is brilliant, she gives fantastic advice and has an excellent massage technique, will go back.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Kat for her knowledge, kind personality and professional treatment, felt at ease and came away with good advice and felling much better

Fantastic experience: I had a great and very therapeutic session with Kat. Very relaxing and professional approach . Had issues with a very tight ham string which feels immensely better. Would recommend

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Kat enough for a sports massage. She is professional, knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. She really worked on my problem areas and I could feel the difference straight away whilst feeling relaxed.

Fantastic experience: Kat is really friendly and informative. Highly recommended particularly if you exercise or play any sport. Kat has massively helped me!

Fantastic experience: It was my first time seeing Kat today for a sports massage to help with a persistent issue I've had for years. She was very friendly, knowledgeable, listened to my issues and provided aftercare advice to help inbetween sessions. I have already booked myself in for another session. Book yourself in!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic treatment from Kat, extremely knowledgeable explaining the process throughout. Really friendly and personable which helps getting relaxed regardless of how tight the knot is. Results will speak for themselves. Highly reccomend to anyone looking to get back to feeling their best.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic massage, Kat finds all the knots, even if you didn't know they were there! She is extremely professional, very friendly and I would recommend her highly.

Fantastic experience: Great leg massage, I felt very comfortable with Kat and she came across very knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Kat was very professional. Helping to resolve my tight Hamstrings and lower back. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Really great treatment! Helped my rotator cuff injuries massively and really loosened off my back in the process!! Highly recommended seeing!

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Kat is very professional and personable. My new go to sports massage therapist.

Fantastic experience: Knot Out is always my go-to when it comes to sports massage or deep tissue massages. I lift weights at the gym and often find myself feeling quite tight/tense after heavy sessions. Kat is always welcoming and professional. Treatments are very affordable (I have found it difficult to find affordable treatments in Exeter) and she has always managed to quite literally get the knots out. The deep tissue massages and trigger point therapy she has undertaken with me have helped so much, especially in my upper back from where I've been working from home a lot. I would strongly recommend Knot Out to anyone who participates in sports regularly or even those who just have muscle aches/pains. 5 stars from me
