When I entered the waiting room I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who offered me a drink. I filled out a questionnaire and then was taken to a room downstairs with a therapist called Joe. He was very knowledgeable and listened to what I said was the problem. My main complaints were my back, shoulders and neck. He gave me some very useful tips about my posture which I plan on putting into practice on a day to day basis.
The whole hour was focused on working those areas and he asked me to suggest any changes to pressure which is always good. I was going to rate the massage an 8 because it was very well done and clearly personalized to my specific requirements. In the end though I did end up leaving there with a sore neck still and my back hurt the next day. That’s not to take anything away from Joe as he was a very good therapist but feel like we probably spent too much time chatting for him to be focused enough to give his best massage so missed my neck area. I would go back there and recommend it to anyone who has an injury or ongoing posture problems.
