Very thorough questioning and then assessment of my back pain and two days on my back feels a lot better already although i will be attending for a few more sessions to continue the healing. Very approachable, friendly and professional therapist, thank you Martin.
As a competitive cyclist and runner, I was interested in a sports massage to help flush out any remaining lactic acid and to help soothe tired legs after a particularly hard training block. To begin with, Martin ran through a few quick tests to spot subtle differences in the range of motions on my left and right sides. Then throughout the massage, he helped to identify which leg muscles were slightly tight ranging through to very tight. Some of these I already knew about but others were good to spot and keep in mind. I regularly foam roll at home with both a Trigger Point Grid and extra firm Rumble Roller, but even with my requested medium pressure, there was clearly a huge difference in how a masseur can precisely target troublesome spots and also work the muscles as they flex. (E.g. working along my calves as I slowly flexed my ankles). Martin was very welcoming and I was comfortable throughout. Highly recommend.
