Luke’s role in football gave him the chance to assess and treat a variety of injuries and see the patient through the entirety of the recovery process to culminate in returning back to full fitness / sport. Luke ran a weekly clinic providing injury assessment and treatment to players and to members of the public. During clinical practice he was able to utilise his skills, from manual therapy to electrotherapy techniques and apply appropriate treatments according to the requirements of the individual patient.

Roger is a level 3 qualified massage therapist.
He began his career in the construction industry as a builder and over the years picked up many injuries, aches and pains and suffered wear and tear to his muscles and joints. Roger always turned to massage therapy or physio therapy to obtain the help needed and so began his love affair with massage. In addition to being beneficial for his body it also helped him greatly to manage stress and to relax.
Roger is a massive believer that massage therapy is as good for your mental well-being as it is for soothing those tight tired muscles. Many clients have told him that they have had their best nights sleep after their massage treatment, a 60 minute massage can be equivalent to 8 hours sleep in the form of relaxation.
Swedish massage
A full body Swedish massage is designed to relax the body, it is gentler than a deep tissue massage but can be a combination of relaxing and tension releasing. It can be used to loosen up tightened muscles, relieve pain and improve lymphatic flow in the body. This massage can be tailored to meet individual needs, you may have several areas of tension but do not want a deep massage to your whole body so it can be a mixture of relaxation and deep pressure as required. It is great for relieving physical, emotional, and mental tension.
Relaxation massage
A full body massage designed to relax your body and mind, this is a smooth, gentle massage that uses only light strokes and pressure, no deep at all. This is great to help with sleep, anxiety and helps to promote calmness. A 60-minute massage can be equivalent to 8 hours of sleep in the form of relaxation.
Hot and cold stones massage
This is a therapeutic treatment which uses hot and cold basalt stones to help relax, detox, and heal the body. Cold stones are used to help reduce swelling and improve blood flow; it is also very refreshing on a hot day. Hot stones are used to help muscles to relax and soften. Traditional Swedish massage techniques are also used in this treatment to prepare the muscles. Hot stones can penetrate up to ten times deeper without the same pressure needed to apply in a deep tissue massage. Hot stones are not suitable if you suffer from high blood pressure without medical consent from your GP/consultant. It is also not advisable if you suffer from migraines, diabetes, or epilepsy.
