With a professional approach, Ben helped me solve a ankle sports injury. The rehabilitation program that Ben made for me was easy to follow yet direct and very successful. Highly recommend.

Since breaking my neck a few years ago, I've sought multiple pain management strategies. Unlike many specialists I've seen, Ben takes a holistic approach and acknowledges the impact an injury can have on other areas of the body. I've found this approach far more effective in reducing my pain than simply focusing on the main injury. I'm confident that my pain will continue to improve going forward with the maintenance programme. Thanks Ben!!

I have been using Ben now for quite a while for a knee injury that was causing me major problems for the last several years. I find him very professional and knowledgeable and genuinely a nice guy. I hardly suffer with my knee at all now. I highly recommend Ben to anyone.

I been involved in sport all my life both as a player and a youth coach.

I continue to develop my skills and a range of techniques by regularly attending new training courses plus continued development of my completed qualifications.

SERVICES WE OFFER

Sports Massage

Deep tissue massage is focused on regaining normal muscle and soft tissue flexibility to assist recovery from or to help prevent injury. This form of massage works by increasing blood flow to the tissues, assisting with scar tissue breakdown, and encouraging lymphatic drainage of swelling and waste products. The effect of this is normalised soft tissue flexibility and thus improved joint mobility. Soft tissue tension affects the normal position of the joints and associated nerve tissue. Therefore it is often involved in movement imbalances, postural dysfunctions and is almost always a contributing factor in musculoskeletal pain.

Sports Rehabilitation

Rehab treatment utilises the most appropriate and current techniques, including mobilisation, manipulation, soft-tissue massage and trigger point therapy and stretching. This is coupled with guided specific rehabilitation to educate, retrain, activate and strengthen the particular areas of your body to help alleviate your symptoms, achieve your identified goals and prevent future injury recurrence.
