ABOUT US

A personal message from Steve Lovell

 

As a keen sportsman I have participated in various energetic sports and hobbies over the years including playing hockey at county schoolboy and county veteran level, competing in judo at national competition level, rock climbing and travelling to Thailand to train in Thai boxing. My first experience of massage was from a thai boxing coach who administered a back massage by walking on my back. Painful as it sounds it did actually loosen up the muscles! Since then I have received treatment for various conditions and as a way to help my recovery after injury. Having experienced the benefits of massage I have now become an advocate for sports and therapeutic massage. Without it I would struggle to actively participate in my current sports  - hockey (I am proud to say I have played for my local club for the last 37 consecutive seasons), Wing Chun Kung Fu and WTF Taekwondo.

 

As a consequence of my positive experience I am pleased to be able to offer you a package of various types of massage which will help you to recover or to relax.

 

I hope you enjoy our therapies and they help you to achieve your goals whether they are in sport or in achieving a healthier more relaxed lifestyle.

 

Steve

 

PS - please don't worry our treatments will not involve walking on your back!
