A session with Gareth starts with him asking where the pain is and about past injuries, then tailoring the massage to the areas that need attention. Clients describe improved mobility after shoulder surgery and knee issues, and book sports massage for training recovery as well as injury support.

This was my first experience of having a treatment like this, and it certainly won't be my last! Gareth was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive from the moment I arrived. He took the time to understand exactly what I needed and explained everything he was doing throughout the treatment. His professionalism and knowledge immediately put me at ease. I felt amazing afterwards and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone, whether they're dealing with a long-term issue or something more recent.
