Testimonials | Bradford on Avon Sports Massage & Personal Training

Following a hamstring injury picked up playing football, I contacted Richard from Bradford-on-Avon Sports Massage. He was extremely knowledgeable about my potential injury and his initial assessment helped identify precisely the extent of the damage I had done and ruled out some fears I'd previously had.
Richard then went to work on tackling my injury whilst talking me through each step. After a 45-minute massage my hamstring felt better immediately and I was then given advice on daily stretches and exercises I could do at home to heal the injury and prevent further trouble in the future.
Now, two months on from the massage, my hamstring feels great and I have resumed playing sport far sooner than I had previously feared. I can't thank Richard enough for the help he gave me and I continue to follow his advice to this day.

I started personal training with Rich having concerns about what I could manage given a long term injury that I thought left me unable to do many exercises, Rich took the time to listen and understand where I was at and to work with me to overcome my apprehension.

Understanding the areas I wished to target, Rich built up targeted exercises and stretches to help me to strengthen and build - helping me to improve not only the areas that I thought needed attention, but also my confidence.

Through the time we worked together Rich always managed to keep the exercises mixed up so that they stay fresh and to keep me motivated plus he’s never short of time to help out offering advice, guidance and support to keep me on track and offer encouragement should I falter in my progress.

Rich puts you at ease and makes every training session really enjoyable whilst pushing you to work harder than you would on your own. I would strongly recommend Rich to everyone looking to train for any reason, any fitness goal or recovery needs.

Richard is an excellent sports masseur and very thorough. His service provides a full analysis of posture, problems and solutions as well as a comprehensive massage getting right to the root of the problems with great follow up afterwards.

Excellent treatment. Really improved my stiff shoulder and neck. Richard is very personable and obviously knows his stuff. He explained what he was doing and why I had problems. It all made sense and the programme of exercises he gave me to follow have certainly seen a great improvement.

Richard was brilliant. He spent time with me to really understand the problem, and the treatment was great. Highly recommended.

Harriet Kingaby.

My neck and left shoulder were very sore and movement was limited. I am a Mum with two very active boys and spend much of my day lifting and carrying. Richard quickly diagnosed the problem and started treating my shoulder, which had an immediate effect. He also showed me stretches which have stopped the problem returning. I would highly recommend him.
