Massage Therapy Testimonials

Myself and my partner Paul have been regular clients for sometime. I have an old back injury and have over the years tried numerous ‘remedies’. Wendy was a lucky find, who is almost too good at finding the particular troublesome area at each visit. Her hard work combined with the correct advice on self help means my life is a lot easier. Paul on the other hand has the enjoyment of a top to toe relaxation massage with the occasional need of Wendy’s full strength! We would strongly recommend her

Thank you for sorting out my frozen shoulder after just two treatments, it is now thawing nicely and my golf swing is back to normal. Also myself and the old boys appreciate your patience and understanding on Monday nights at our keep fit workouts

Mr Ron Crawford

I have been a patient of Wendy James for very nearly 10 years. I regard her very highly both as a person of integrity, and as a superb Sports Masseuse.

I suffer from increasingly bad arthritis mostly in my knees and shoulders. Wendy has treated my knees since 2002, and she has helped me through the total replacement of my right knee joint, and she is presently helping me with a swiftly deteriorating left knee joint which will be replaced during the next 12 months. Her skill is in her strong and superb massage and her knowledge of how every muscle and ligament in the human body works!

I always feel better and more mobile after her sports massage treatment on my legs. She really does keep me going!

I thoroughly recommend Wendy James. She is an excellent masseuse and her skills are many.

When I first started seeing Wendy during September 2010, my lower back felt so stiff that I limited flexibility bending over to put on socks/tights. Also the stiffness in my neck and shoulders made my arms feel heavy.

I had got into poor postural habits at work in an Outpatient Clinic that over time had detrimental effects on my whole body. More little aches and pains started manifesting and I was concerned that if I didn’t address them now, in my late forties, more serious structural problems would develop that would lead to injury.

I felt reassured during the initial appointment that Wendy has a very extensive knowledge of the mechanics of the body. And I felt a sense of relief as her hands expertly and instinctively worked on the most restricted areas.

Wendy employs a whole bag of remedial techniques to restore optimum function to the soft tissue and joints. Aspects of the massage can be uncomfortable – I call it “good pain” – but she had to work with years’ worth of over tight muscles.

I found that these sessions gave me an improved self awareness and early identification of potential problems in the future. And now, some six months later I feel so much better than when I first walked into Wendy’s well appointed treatment room with a whole list of complaints.

I am so glad that I happened upon her name.

Thank you Wendy for my relaxing massage. It was fantastic ??

I have had a long standing problem with a sore heel and rumbling Achilles tendon. Wendy expertly diagnosed the cause of the problem which was tightness in the calf muscles, and she explained to me very clearly how she would be treating the problem, and when the massage would be painful – although this was a “healthy” pain aimed at relieving the tension in the calf. I am very pleased to say that she has cured the problem and I would always return to Wendy in the future whenever I need treatment again, as I have 100% confidence and trust in her highly skilled approach.

Wonderful massage and manipulation to my foot post surgery to try and reduce swelling. Has made a difference after just one session and i got some great advise on stretches and self help to do at home

Mr S Howard

I would always use Wendy for any fitness niggles and for pre-running race massage. I think she is really, really good and I have 100% confidence in her!!!

“I recently took part in the South Downs Way in a day bike ride. In preparation for the event I have been having deep tissue sports massage with Wendy, this is where I found out about Kinesiology taping. In previous years doing the event I have suffered with extreme cramp in my upper legs. Whilst discussing this with Wendy she suggested giving the taping ago. After explaining to me what it can do I thought “what’ve I got to lose”. On the day of the event my left leg was taped up with me still wondering how it will perform. After about 45 miles my legs felt fine, however the very edge of the tape started to peel off slightly. It was one of the hottest days of the year and the constant cycle motion and sweating created this slight lift in the tape. 50 miles in still no cramp where the tape was. 60 miles in no cramp but I was getting very fatigued and irritable. Instead of waiting to my next check point and trimming the edges of the tape that had started to peel off as instructed by Wendy I ripped it off in temper. 63 miles CRAMP ! I completed the ride albeit in a element of discomfort. Conclusion. For me the tape worked, I never had any issues with my thighs in fact it probably gave me the bonus of a psychological boast that I felt good and confident wearing it. Physically my leg performed well with tape applied . Would I use it again ? YES, but if it started to peel id trim the edges as instructed.”

I was very impressed with Wendy, being able to help me with a deep tissue massage at late notice over the weekend. It really helped me with my muscle spasms in my back and neck. Very impressed and will be coming back for future treatment. Would recommend to anyone. Many thanks.

Thanks Wendy for the excellent massage this morning, one of the best I have had!

Mr D Epps

We’re delighted with the result of just one massage with Wendy. My husband Ken’s shoulders and spine were almost completely straightened up, having been curved over as a tall, older man. She certainly knows her stuff!!

Mrs Grindlay

I have been doing Wendy’s exercise class once a week for about eight years now with much benefit to my shape and fitness. We are both challenged mentally and physically with something new each time, so we are never bored, and its fun too. I couldn’t recommend more highly!
