Testimonials

Testimonials from clients

I have been seeing Sam for treatment for the past year having made a return to rugby for the first time since leaving the Army. Her expert knowledge and experience in treating my PCL injury and developing a rehabilitation and strengthening programme has meant I’ve been able to run and play rugby to a ‘pre-injury’ level for the first time in years. Over the past year Sam has also taught me a great deal in injury prevention from effective strapping to the correct stretching and mobility exercises to help prevent a re-occurring ankle sprain I had been suffering from over the years. Sam always provides a friendly and comfortable environment and I always look forward to getting treatment.

I have been seeing Sam for the past 3years. Over the last 15 years , I have spent up until the last 3 years trying to seek the best treatment , to help relieve many symptoms of my fibromyalgia. This includes relieving tight and achy muscles, nerve pain issues, neck problems, headaches and a few more ! To me , having seen Sam over the last few years of my life has been a relief to me. To find someone where you do not have to necessarily direct them to certain problem areas is wonderful . Sam seems to tune in and I am pretty sure it is down to her extensive knowledge of massage / injuries. For this reason I would highly recommend Sam for myriad symptoms as her knowledge seems to be extensive. I would also like to thank Sam for for her relaxed and professional help.

Following 2 separate issues that I needed a doctor and hospital treatment neither were able to diagnose or solve the problems I was having from playing rugby, on both occasions I sought Sam’s assistance and she not only diagnosed the issues but quickly resolved them with some great treatment, I can’t recommend her highly enough....

Andy Clarke

Having shied away from massages and treatments for most of my life I was eventually persuaded to give Sam a visit as my Sciatica was getting worse, not better and I had to get match fit in 2 months and I could barely get in or out of the car. Sam has not only eliminated my pain but has worked magic on my whole body muscle tightness. I now feel so much more flexible, Sam has undone years of not stretching and I can now flex!!!
