"Ruth performs sports massage in an extremely professional and thorough manner. I have total confidence in her."
Dave Marshall, Rower, World Class Start
"Ruth has a friendly, caring nature and shows a genuine interest in me which helps me feel at ease. She is receptive and adapts to my needs as an athlete in order to maximise the benefits of the massage. Ruth is continually updating her knowledge, skills and experience to provide the best for me."
Sarah Willimott, Distance Runner
"Words that spring to mind are ‘relief, release, a proper stretch, wholeness, relaxation and a good night’s sleep.’ Sports massage has helped me in two ways. I am a runner and suffer with very tight calves and sometimes hamstrings too which I find difficult to stretch on my own. I also have some shoulder and neck problems which have been linked to twisted hips and everyday life stress!
Sports massage keeps my legs moving by releasing the tightness, it hurts but the relief of having the muscles really stretched is indescribable. The work on my back and shoulders helps to alleviate the pain when necessary but if I receive massage regularly the problem is managed.
I would recommend sports massage to anyone, sporty or not! A sports massage practitioner has an excellent understanding of the body which helps to identify the real problems rather than just treating the symptoms. It’s amazing, the benefits of having the muscles stretched and released to give you a new feeling of being able to stand tall and feel relaxed."
Kim Baines, Runner
"Ruth was recommended to me by my chiropractor, as I have had painful problems with my neck and shoulders for many years.
I have found her to be professional, thorough and understanding at all times. She has tried various techniques to find the most beneficial, also showing me how to self-treat trigger points between sessions. This has resulted in fewer headaches and a reduction in anxiety. She always explains what she is doing and why she is doing it.
She has also suggested lifestyle changes, both in my professional and personal life, which have proven to be very successful. I have found massage to be both therapeutic and relaxing, soothing away the stresses of the day.
Ruth is very conscientious and provides plenty of encouragement. All in all a complete package."
