Testimonials
As a terminal avoider of exercise, I took up running a couple of years ago and took things relatively easy at first. As I eventually began to increase my mileage, working towards longer distance races, I found that my legs would feel much more tired, more often. It didn't take long for this to affect my ability to train, and rest alone wasn't having any impact.
My first massage with Sally had an immediate, positive impact on my training. Sally's massage was very effective, and she highlighted potential problem areas for me to work on in my training. My subsequent monthly sessions with Sally have been just as important in keeping my legs feeling fresh, and I consider them to be absolutely essential to success in my training and to avoid injury. Sally is very adept, knowledgeable and sensitive to my requirements as a runner and I continue to highly recommend her to others, including non-runners.

I first met Sally when she held a promotional event at Fitness First Gym, after having a quick consultation I decided to book a Deep Tissue Massage. This was quite an experience at first, especially the day after when everything ached. I have since been back a number of times now and enjoy the treatment. Sally makes me feel at ease whilst I am there and is very professional in her manner. I have recently lost a great deal of weight and since having the massages I feel that my posture is improving. The only down side to the treatment for me is that the time goes very quickly, but I do feel relaxed and energised afterwards. If anyone should ask me is it worth it? I would certainly say yes and it is money and time well spent. I would certainly recommend Sally to others.

Regular massage treatment from Sally has been one of the best investments I've ever made. Because of a genetic disorder I regularly dislocate joints, and as a result I deal with arthritis and a lot of residual soreness in the surrounding muscles and tendons. I get massage treatments every other week, and these treatments have been fantastic not only at addressing acute injuries, but also at keeping the long-term soreness and stiffness from building back up. Sally's massage technique is wonderful -- she combines an intricate knowledge of anatomy with a very intuitive sense of where things are sore or stiff. I'm convinced that my regular treatments with her are as useful for preventing injuries and chronic pain as they are for treating it. For me, they've quickly become an essential!

I lead a relatively active lifestyle, but also have a job that involves sitting at a desk in an office five days a week. Since starting to visit Sally for deep tissue massages on a regular basis, I have become much more aware of the tension that has built up in my back and shoulder muscles over the past few years. The massages have been excellent in relieving this tension, leaving me feeling much more energised and has helped a great deal in improving both my posture and flexibility. The service Sally provides is superb and I would recommend her to anyone.
Mike Emery, IT Professional
Having been a physically fit and keen sportsman most of my life I desire to maintain and keep a high level of fitness and personal motivation to enable me to cope when the pressure is on, particularly at work. Over the years I have received treatment and advice from various outlets and advisors but felt no real advancement or relief from what they gave or offered. When browsing the Web I saw SB Sports Massage, took on board what it offered and decided to give Sally a call. Since seeing Sally from the beginning of the year for Deep Tissue Massage to my upper body i.e. shoulders, neck and back I have had best posture restored and areas in the shoulder region that had been seized up for years liberated. I continue to have the treatment as often as I can. I believe the wealth of expertise and knowledge that Sally has would benefit lots and lots of people seeking relief from stress and stiffness and enhance their general wellbeing. I have from personal knowledge, contact and observation no hesitation in recommending SB Sports Massage. Sally has always displayed initiative and enthusiasm for my case within her ambit of activity, as well as the element of reliability and I am grateful that I am able to continue enjoying life to the fullest due to the treatment received.

I have been receiving massage from Sally on a regular basis since December 2008 and I am very impressed with her work. Not only have I received massage to treat tension in my upper body, but also pre and post match massage on my legs. Following a pre-match massage I have felt more comfortable warming up and have a greater range of movement during a game. The results of regular post-match massage have been invaluable; as I have been relieved of the usual stiffness and aches that I get from playing, which has had a positive impact at work.
Samantha Warrington, Teacher of PE
Being a fitness coach I need sports massage as part of my weekly routine to help with recovery after training and general maintenance after teaching around 20 classes a week. I have been visiting Sally regularly and have found her to be very knowledgeable about my various muscle tensions and my injuries, which have occurred due to the nature of my business, and I have benefitted greatly from my massages with her. Through my work in the fitness industry and especially through my Pilates teaching I have been able to recommend and refer my clients to Sally. My participants often come to my Pilates sessions because of back problems and various postural imbalances; Sally has seen a number of my clients who have always come back to me with nothing but praise for her. I will definitely be recommending her in the future.
Natalie Green, Fitness Coach and Pilates Specialist
I have been active all of my life and used to participate in all manner of activities and sports. However, in my early 20’s, I began experiencing severe back pain and discomfort which prevented me from participating in the usual activities, thus reducing my fitness. I have used many healthcare professional over the years to treat my back problem and I have found the best results come from Sports Massage. I have been visiting Sally twice a month for deep tissue massage for several months and I have ironed out my stiffness and tension with the help of massage. Although an effective Sports Massage can result in temporary discomfort, Sally is good at sensing my tolerance level for pain and the end result is always worth it. I would recommend sally to anyone who has some form of discomfort anywhere in their body, whether you are a serious athlete or not.
