​I was seen by Emelia for a 60 minute sports massage. All round great experience and she focused on a long term injury relieving muscle tension in my back. Very professional and would highly recommend.

Was a really good appointment and Emelia was really lovely, she helped identify the problem and was able to personalise some excel uses for me to do. She has even said after a month she will send me some more to help further again. Could not recommend more.
