After my broken ankle had fully healed I needed treatment to rehab my muscles and tendons so I could get back to running. Richard is a superb professional who really knows his stuff . After a course of treatment delivered expertly with witty banter I was able to resume long hikes and short jogs, well on the road to recovery.

I would highly recommend him.

I have visited Richard three times now, for neck and shoulder pain, upon personal recommendation from others. Richard is very knowledgeable and professional and immediately makes you feel at ease. I would say the pain has eased about 80% after just three sessions. Richard gives great advice for exercises in between sessions, even sending videos of how to do them. I am very grateful to Richard and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending his services to others. More...

Q&As

I love getting feedback from clients telling me that my treatment for them has alleviated their pain and discomfort.
Receiving a Five Star Review tells me that my treatment has helped someone free themselves from their pain cycle and that they are now able to enjoy life once again.

I was inspired by another therapist who was treating me for my calf and achilles pains. He gave me the confidence to enrol with in the training program (back in 2014) and it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

I’m passionate about making people better and I have a great “bedside manner”. I will talk to you throughout the treatment session to get your feedback on discomfort levels but also tell you what exercises you can do yourself at home to help with your rehabilitation.
I am very customer-focussed and send out reminders regarding rehabilitation via e-mail or WhatsApp (if requested).

During lockdown I was able to help customers via Zoom or FaceTime. I was able to demonstrate how to self treat and how to perform stretches or strength exercises which would facilitate their rehabilitation.

During Flu Restrictions I have a 25minute gap between clients and keep the room ventilated. I also wore an apron, mask, visor and nitrile gloves during treatment. I aim to get all paperwork completed electronically to save time in clinic.

Services

Enough time to provide a full body massage or to effectively deal with any muscle, nerve or joint pain issue.

55 minute treatment in the comfort of your own home.
