I had a deep tissue massage from Rob for my neck shoulders and lower back and it was absolutely incredible.
First all of all he is very professional and he took the time to understand what my issues were so he could provide the appropriate treatment .
I left very satisfied and with an unbelievable feeling of relaxation.
Highly recommended!!

He creates a very professional safe space for you and comes equipped with everything. He even has an extra face rest so that your face can sink deeply into the bed without uncomfortable pressure. The massage was just what I needed for emotional release and I felt deeply relaxed afterwards. I have rebooked :-) More...

Would highly recommend Rob to anyone who is in need after a really good deep massage. I went to him in agony with my kneck and shoulders which I've been in pain with for some time now. I've tried other people and not one of them worked until now. I can't praise Rob enough. I'm booked back in for another session in a weeks time and genuinely cannot wait to get back there. He really knows his stuff and easy to get on with too. Don't waste your money on other people just go straight to Rob you won't regret it More...

I was able to secure a booking even at short notice. Rob was very pleasant, so professional and skilled. Needless to say I didn’t even hear my alarm go off by next morning as I slept like a baby for the first time in a long while.
Thank you Rob, will definitely be booking again soon.

Rob turned up on time, was really friendly and assessed the issue with my lower back. He knew straight away what the problem was and set to work.
After a very in depth sports massage I could really tell the difference, I literally felt a few inches taller where before I had been stooped over in pain. Rob even told me some stretches I could do myself to help alleviate the problem.
In summary, if you are looking for a sports massage in the Leeds or Wakefield area then Rob is definitely the man for the job

I was very impressed by Rob everything was 5 star he pays attention and listens and you can clearly tell he loves what he goes and makes it his mission to try to fix the issue also on top of that he advises on aftercare … I’ve had massages from all over the world different styles and methods used but I never came across someone who cared so much about it… he’s a very humble man professional to a T! I felt comfortable and he was a standout from the rest.. for others it’s about the money and looking at the clock but Rob gave a calming energy and was very positive person to speak to… he really is fantastic and I would absolutely recommend him he is king of massage.

I had a really great massage with Rob, he was equal measures of gentle and firm and followed my guidance as to the level of pressure I liked. He was knowledgeable and explained which muscles were causing me issues and why. He was punctual, had all the relevant equipment and he even had a little pair of steps to help me get up onto the bed. I very much enjoyed the massage and have booked in again. More...

I have been experiencing severe arm/shoulder pain since Christmas. Movement has been severely restricted and even simple things like getting dressed and undressed have been difficult and uncomfortable. Sleep has also been disturbed due to pain on movement. After just three sessions with Rob, there has been a massive improvement. The discomfort has almost completely disappeared and I now have a full range of movement. More...

After being misdiagnosed with a jarred elbow, I returned to hospital two weeks later in a lot of pain and unable to do simple things (like, you know, lift my arm) to discover I had in fact broken my shoulder. It was a lot of damage for a small area and right where the tendons meet. I was told by two consultants and my NHS physiotherapist that I would never regain full mobility and would likely struggle for years to come. My NHS physio was lovely but was reticent to do any manipulation after having been immobilised for such a long period (to compensate for the hospital having told me to use my arm as much as possible in the two weeks after the fall). I was given gentle exercises, which were gradually increased in difficulty and resistance. That was all. Last month I was still in considerable pain and struggling with everyday tasks and then my other shoulder began to really hurt due to overuse. I decided I needed more help than I was receiving via the NHS and that’s where Rob came in. He responded very quickly to my queries and spent some time on the phone discussing my concerns. He didn’t try to get me to sign up to multiple sessions (he wanted to assess the injury first so that I didn’t overbook unnecessarily) and he was up front about costs. Rob travelled to my home for each session and brought everything he needed with him, which made it very convenient. He quickly identified problematic areas and used a combination of manipulation, stretches and deep tissue massage. I saw rapid and vast improvements very quickly. Whilst some parts were painful, Rob explained what he was doing and was always very clear that I only had to say if I needed a reprieve. It was clear he knew what he was doing and I felt in safe hands. Each visit I had more mobility and my strength was finally returning too. I have now been discharged by the NHS physio and he told me yesterday that I have more mobility now than he thought I would ever get back! So a huge thanks to Rob. I finally feel like I can get back to a normal life. I would highly recommend him for injury rehabilitation. More...

Great experience. Very thorough from the initial assessment that highlighted what needed to be worked on. Rob gave me advice on what I need to work on in the gym after the session to continue correcting it. Would definitely recommend having a session More...

I have been experiencing lower back pain for a very long time now. It got very bad, to the point that the pain was waking me up at night, and neither changing the mattress or painkillers helped. So when Rob offered to help me, I thought I would give it a go. My first massage from Rob was after 3 weeks of not sleeping properly due to constant pain waking me up in early hours. I needed to take time off work as I was exhausted and run down. All the pain was gone after an hour of massage. The results amazed me! My pain sometimes comes back, due to lots of manual handling at work and I expect that to be a long standing issue. However, every time I feel my back getting worse I ask Rob for help and he works wonders! More...

Rob is amazing. Sorted out all my aches, pains, kinks and posture problems. Even analysed my gait through the way I stand, and figured out why I was getting knee pain from just standing wrong. He also figured out my arm pain when the doctors couldn’t. Plus his sports massages are amazing. He also gave me lots of stretches to do to help with the various problems. He really knows his stuff!

I help my clients to achieve their fitness goals first and foremost by listening to them, understanding their needs (not just what, but also why) and helping them to push themselves safely to their absolute limits, in order to really realise their full potential. With the additional application of healthy eating and Sports Massage, I can keep my clients in peak condition.

What do you love most about your job?
I love helping people to find relaxation, overcome injuries, and generally feel better within themselves.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted a job where I would not be counting down the hours until I could go home, a job where I would not be planning my next holiday, a life that I did not need to escape from. So I made it happen. Fitness and Physical Wellness are my passions.
Why should our clients choose you?
I would choose me because I really care about making my clients happy. I pride myself on my professionalism, as well as my friendliness. I would read my reviews, as they tell you everything you need to know.
