Ashleigh Hill Rehab Therapy Totnes

About Me – Ashleigh Hill
Hi, I’m Ashleigh — a holistic rehab therapist based in Totnes, offering injury rehabilitation and massage therapy to help people recover from pain and move more freely.
My journey into therapy began with my own injuries — first during my time in the armed forces, and later as a rugby player. That personal experience of pain, restriction and recovery sparked a deep interest in how the body works — and how it heals.
I went on to study rehabilitation, followed by a second degree in exercise and fitness science. This gave me a solid understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and movement. My experience with Exeter City Football Club and ongoing work in massage therapy and injury rehabilitation have shaped how I work with people today.
🔬 My Approach to Rehabilitation Therapy
I offer a tailored blend of injury rehabilitation, soft tissue therapy, and movement coaching — all with the goal of helping you regain strength, confidence, and comfort in your body.
My approach is influenced by a range of pioneering practitioners and thinkers:
Fritz von Bothmer – whose movement work emphasised grace and awareness
Leon Chaitow – integrative soft tissue therapy and clinical insight
Gray Cook – functional movement systems and performance rehab
Dr. Kelly Starrett – mobility, biomechanics and pain science
Lorimer Moseley and David Butler – reshaping how we understand pain
Wim Hof – breathwork and nervous system resilience
Dave Asprey – human performance, recovery and lifestyle health
Mike Boyle – functional strength and rehab in sports
These influences help me see the body not just as a mechanical system, but as a dynamic, adaptive one — where movement, stress, emotion and rest all play a role in recovery.
💡 What You Can Expect
Every session combines careful assessment, hands-on massage therapy, corrective exercise, and tailored advice. My aim is to make sure you feel supported at every stage of your recovery.
I work with people dealing with chronic pain, recovering from injuries, or wanting to move with more ease and freedom. My clinic is based just outside Totnes, offering a calm and welcoming space for your therapy.
If you’re ready to start your journey towards better movement and less pain, I’d love to help.
