Ben has been helping me prepare and recover for running challenges for over a year now. Ben is a super friendly guy with a very professional manner. I have recommended Ben's services to several of my running friends and they have found him very helpful too. If you're looking to recover from an injury or simply have some help to keep you ticking over when under high loads of training, Ben can help.

I’d had a lot of trouble with my shoulder. Within 3 weeks we’d booked in sessions and had sorted the problem. Great guy who goes above and beyond to provide a great service. Great results and would highly recommend to anyone with any injuries or niggles or just generally wanting a high quality sports massage

I first went to Ben with problems in my calf and also my some foot pain. Not only has he resolved these issues but he's also helped with other underlying issues I didn't know that were hindering my training. Ben is friendly, helpful and I now go every month to have a massage to keep injury at bay and keep my muscles in good shape

About Me

My name is Boaventura Mesquita affectionately know as Ben. I originate from Portugal however I have made Wales my home since 2004. I been involved in sport all my life both as a player and a youth coach. I become interested in sports massage therapy through sustaining personal injuries and looking for ways to promote my recovery. I became passionate in this field and in order to help others I qualified in sports massage therapy up to level 3 in Pembrokeshire college sports academy. I then continued with my development by completing sports Massage and Injury Rehabilitation level 4 at Bath university. I'm currently employed by Haverfordwest County AFC as their head of injury rehabilitation and recovery, as well as helping people with sports injuries. My aim as a therapist is to help anyone in need, and not those solely involved in sport. 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.
