Paul Atkins

Testimonials

I had increasing pain in my shoulder lasting over 14 months. I eventually had surgery and some exercises from a physiotherapist, but no treatment that helped. I was unable to lift my arm which was stopping me diving and exercising. I went to see Paul. After only two sessions the pain I had for 14 months had gone. Subsequent sessions got my shoulder to where I was before and better!! I have since been back cave diving in Florida and France. Paul listened to my problems and provided a great service - not just treatment but advice and guidance so I could help myself. Thanks Paul. (Mathew Gentile: Engineer and Diver)

The massage Paul provided really helped. It was the best investment I ever made. After last years event I could hardly walk. This year I was fine!" (Oliver J: Elite athlete, London Triathlon)

Although I am not a sports person, I found Paul's massage very beneficial. As I spend most of my day at a desk it was great to get the mobility back into my joints as well as feeling relaxed". (Alan S: Conference Organiser)

I' m 82 now but I try to keep myself active. I had a pain in my legs and knees, particularly walking up hill. My doctor gave me pain killers which I didn't want to keep taking. I went to a physiotherapist who gave me exercises that didn't help. I couldn't see much point in seeing someone offering sports massage as I don't do sport, but my grandson had been and said it was wonderful. I couldn't believe how effective his massage was. The pain comes back every six months or so, but Paul is able to get rid of the discomfort and keeps me going without me having to take more pills. (Martha A: Retired)

I have been riding horses for many years and have from time to time, experienced injuries and tension across my back and shoulders as a result of inadequate attention to my riding position. Sports massage has helped enormously with the discomfort I have experienced and it has enabled me to ride with much better posture and improved the relationship I have with my horse by being more able to ride in a more relaxed way. Working with Paul has enabled me to step up my training without further problems. I would recommend Paul to any rider who wants to improve performance at any level.

I went to see Paul after the discomfort in my neck and hip had got quite bad, the result of continually picking up my young baby and carrying her around. I was not sure what to expect as I had never had a sports massage before, but Paul made me feel comfortable and at ease. The experience was brilliant. I felt so much better when I left, and I've been recommending him to all my friends . (Zoe T - First time mother)

Just a short note to say thank you for the wonderful massage you gave me the other day. I came away from the experience feeling both refreshed and relaxed. The work you did on my neck and shoulders releasing the tension - was particularly welcomed. The restful ambiance of your treatment room and the professional manner in which you work only served to add to the experience. I am now able to move bits of me that haven't moved for several years !

The sports massage was fabulous. Paul offered just the right balance of post-race stimulation and tissue work. Absolutely no effects today and I have a spring in my step instead of a pain in my legs! (Joseph M: Veteran triathlete and Director Strategy BP)

I went to Paul for an all round massage and to get greater mobility in my neck and shoulders. I don't do much sport so I didn't know what to expect. I felt better immediately after the massage, but also what Paul did for me was very helpful and long-lasting. I also had a "pull" in my leg that Paul has sorted out. (Judi S: Management Consultant)

Thank you for your support and professionalism. The ankle is now much improved and has enabled my subsequent projects to flourish (Nuno S: Dancer - Henri Uguiki Dance Company)

Your massage made all the difference - I feel great and ready to train once again! (Ashmelash A: London Marathon: Mens elite runner)
