Lisa has been a regular client for Sports Massage over the past 4 years and comments as follows:
“I was training for my first marathon and a friend recommended that I try a sports massage. It was a new experience for me and one that I now recommend to all my friends. It helps to keep my body in good order and to be able to cope with the demands I put on it. For me it can be relieving tension in a particular area or simply relaxing my body in preparation for a race. Carole is very good at treating specific niggles and is a wealth of information and advice.
Personally I think spending money on maintaining a good ‘machine’ is well worth it. Very often athletes will spend hundreds if not thousands of pounds on their new bike, shoes, clothing as well as things like oil, cleaning fluids, bike parts and even paying someone to fit them to their bike. Why not spend some of that money on maintenance for yourself in the form of a massage. I know I perform better by first and foremost looking after myself and my body. Carole helps me to do that.”
