Success Stories

Chris Hovenden
 Competitive cyclist and triathlete

Training across three sports means that I frequently have one niggle or another. David has been great in helping get my body into a condition that allows me to get the sessions in that I need to perform to the level I want/aspire. My calves have been particularly problematic in the past and regular deep tissue massages from David have really helped alleviate the tightness, making it possible for me to swim, bike and run several times a week.

Sinwai Muay Thai Martial Arts and Fitness Gym

David has been providing sports massage and injury prevention advice for the past couple of months, to my fighters who are active competitors in Thai Boxing and Boxing. David has assisted in recovery for several of my students who have suffered common injuries in the sport such as, hamstring pulls, back and neck pain and offered preventative measures to protect the joints with the regular impactive nature of our training.

DW Sports Therapy is very well priced and provides a great service. It was not just the professional manner of my treatment but also the extensive knowledge and advice offered during and after my treatment. I had a course of sports massages on my tight hamstring, which I tore in 2011. I found instant relief from the massages and was also given a range of stretches to do as well as guidance on how to place less pressure on my hamstring in the future.
