Renaissance Harrogate has been running from the heart of Harrogate for over thirteen years. It is owned and run by Angela Tunstall, who became a qualified sports/work related injury therapist after finding it difficult to get a good treatment for her own sports injuries. A fitness class instructor and personal trainer, Angela has always maintained an active, healthy lifestyle and knows the importance of massaging out those nagging injuries before they become more serious or prolong recovery.

Angela's clients now include MPs, racing drivers, power lifters, barristers, athletes and even a competitor from the World's Strongest Man, but also anyone involved in local sports, keep-fit enthusiasts, and those with injuries obtained through their work. In addition, Angela has successfully improved the quality of life and mobility for many elderly people who had almost given up on finding a solution to their problems. The treatments are individually tailored to each client based entirely on their needs.
