I was apprehensive about my appointment as unsure what to expect. But Anca is so lovely and very professional. It was very interesting to be told how and why my body was aching where it was. And after a bit of physical manipulation she tailored a few exercises to help me not get as bad in the future. She did go above and beyond. Well worth the money paid. I noticed an immediate improvement in my pain. I will definitely be back. More...

Anca and Orchard Sports massage were a great find! I was impressed by her ability to get to the root cause of my nagging foot pain. My muscles started to relax almost immediately. She was professional, extremely knowledgeable and thoroughly detailed. Anca also followed up with exercises for me to keep at - no hesitation at all in recommending her! More...

I had my first massage with Anca at Orchard Sports Massage last week. I had been experiencing pain in my back and shoulders and some numbness due to sitting at a desk all day, every day. Anca talked me through how the muscles and nerves in the body work and she gave me exercises to do to help improve my mobility. She then gave me an amazing massage. I felt a lot better immediately afterwards! I have been continuing with the exercises and I can really feel a big improvement. I haven’t had anymore numbness since the massage.Anca is very knowledgable and makes you feel at ease. A really good experience, thank you,Rebecca Silveira More...

Really great session with Anca. Far more than a simple sports massage, she was able to give a full body overview to assess areas of concern and not just address any problems but let me know why the problem was occurring. She was very knowledgeable and provided useful follow up exercises to help between sessions. I will definitely return for a follow up. More...

I was recommended seeing Anca by a friend and it's probably the best recommendation I've had! Anca was brilliant - she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She quickly diagnosed some issues I was experiencing just from the way I was standing. She continued to check in with me during the session to ensure that I was okay and provided some follow up exercises to help with some of my issues. More...

I was advised by my PT to get a Sports Massage Therapist onboard, to help with flexibility and strength of leg muscles, related to football. Anca was brilliant, the immediate consultation was useful and helpful to diagnose existing muscular issues. The therapy itself was 1 hour and has definitely helped with my mobility - even after just 1 session. Highly recommend and look forward to my next follow up. More...

Anca was excellent. So friendly and knowledgeable. She took time to listen to my problems and you could see she knew how to address them there and then. When I had the therapy she knew exactly where the underlying issues were and sorted them. My back was stiff and had seized up. I could barely bend over and touch my toes. After treatment, the following morning I could bend over and get the palms of my hands on the floor! She has also given me a programme for stretches to do. To be honest I couldn’t have wished for any more. Totally satisfied and would highly recommend to everyone. More...

My first visit to Anca and my first massage in nearly 2 years. Wow, don't hesitate to visit. Anca spent considerable time with me going through my history of sporting injuries and outlining where she will focus her efforts. Anca's knowledge of anatomy shone through and she was very meticulous at working in my problem areas whilst also explaining what she was doing and why, and I certainly feel much better after what felt like the fastest hour of my life!

She listened very attentively and did a good examination and explained everything she was doing.

I’ve suffered with lower back pain, tight hips and hamstrings following an injury for the last (nearly) 2 years. I’ve had copious amounts of physio, but nothing has seemed to loosen or help. Within my first session Anca pinpointed the areas of concern and tightness and really worked to loosen me up - the most effective anyone has been in the last 2 years. Not only that, she explained everything throughout to inform and reassure me. She then followed up the session with an email giving exercises to try to help mobilisation. I feel encouraged after only the first session and can’t wait to go back for more. More...

Well what can I say but Anca was my last hope. I have had a very bad back for the past three months and no one seemed to be able to help. From start to finish Anca took the time to explain everything she was doing and why she was doing it and made me feel at ease. Without me telling her she found the areas that were causing me trouble and instantly started to address them. This was my first appointment with her and it certainly won’t be the last. More...

A big thank you to Orchard Sports Massage! I’d returned from a weekend mountainbiking in Wales spent the following week in pain and sleepless nights with extreme arm and hand numbness. I had a one hour therapy session with Anca where we discussed the problem, I had acupuncture and an excellent massage. I’m pleased to say I just had my first nights unbroken sleep (as Anca said I would) and today there is a huge improvement in both arms. Very professional and very pleasant treatment. I’d recommend Anca to anyone and I’ll definitely return as and when I pick up another injury. More...

Anca's sport massage was fantastic. Based in a (very deep) biological knowledge of the the body, this massage was informative, effective, albeit sometimes painful (she did warn me in advance! !! :)This is not a relaxing massage, or like a sports massage you might get at a spa. However, what Anca does do is bring a much more considered and informed approach to improving and addressing your sporting ailments.I also left with a very clear understanding of the exercises that I needed to do to make me feel better.Would definitely recommend if you're after a really good sports massage.
