Client Testimonials
Doing a multi-disciplined sport your body is put under a great many physical demands, from impact sports to explosive movement, and in the running domain especially, I had numerous injuries and constant niggles.
Whilst at Oxford, Denise helped me to maintain a hard training regime through remedial sports massage, flexibility help and rehab exercise. During my final year at Oxford, Denise allowed me to maintain a higher level and intensity of run training than I had done in previous years at Oxford, and thus in the summer I ran ‘personal bests’. I was able to stay injury free and found the flexibility and core exercises a great help as I was able to train harder and longer, and this was a direct result of the therapy and advice I received from Denise
Denise has been my remedial massage therapist for nearly a year now. Having had several operations across both shoulders, my rugby career should have been over. I suffered from aching joints, impingement pain, a lack of mobility and a lack of strength, due to stiffness and tightness as a result of the operations. I thought my playing days were limited, if not over, and was on the lookout for some help to enable me to train at a level suitable for the Varsity match. After a few sessions with Denise, I felt vast improvements in the range of motion and as a consequence, an increase in strength and power, not to mention a huge reduction in the amount of impingement pain and aches across my shoulders and back. Denise’s magic hands enabled me to train and perform once again at a high level in sport, and contributed to my ability and confidence on the pitch.
As I look forward to preparing for another Varsity season, one thing is for sure: that Denise is fundamental in my personal training plan to be ready to play rugby at a high level again. I cannot recommend her highly enough – her knowledge of the body and application of the practice is outstanding!
Thanks for all your help, I look forward to working with you through 2012
I first went to Denise for a sports massage as a one off with some general aches and pains – hoping to get some relief when my body was feeling really run down before a competition. That weekend, I dropped 2 seconds off my PB and since then have been going before every race.
Denise understands my body better than I do myself; often I come in with one part of my body in pain and she realizes that the cause is somewhere else I hadn’t even noticed. Denise allowed me to get the most out of my body, to be healthy and pain free.
When the swimming season was over and I was busy revising for my Exams, I started to get really bad headaches so i went to the Doctors and they said it was stress related, but something in my neck just didn’t feel right. I went to Denise for a session and she worked out it was all coming from my poor posture at my desk. Following a few sessions I was completely cured and able to work at my best.
