Testimonials

Sports Therapy
I booked with Holly for a sports massage when I started getting pain in my lower back and shoulder blade due to sports and daily habits. Before we started the massage, I was asked to complete a few simple mobility movements to assess points of discomfort and range of flexibility When the treatment began, I was satisfied with how informed I was kept throughout. Being reassured and checked on to make sure I was not too uncomfortable. I was given a full run through of the stretches and after care at the end of the session to make sure |looked after the areas that had been treated. The email I received of stretches were listed in detail and were very easy to follow. Holly was happy enough to answer a couple of follow up questions about certain stretches after the treatment and how to keep an eye on my posture to help with future back problems. I was very pleased with my sessions throughout and have highly recommended Holly to a number of friends, colleagues and family members.

It would not be hyperbole to say that the care, treatment and support Holly Flint has provided me over the years has been life-changing. I hadn’t seen myself as necessarily someone who would need Sports Therapy, as my sports days are decades behind me. But through a combination of yo-yoing weight and sitting in a chair 12–14 hours a day, as the CEO of a successful game studio, my body has taken a beating. Before working with Holly I had days where I could barely walk due to pain, tightness and discomfort in my right hip. I’m still doing those long days in a chair, but the treatment Holly has provided me allows me to spend the day not in pain, and to be active with my 2-year-old when I get home. Holly’s approach goes beyond just what she does when you’re on the table. She provided a custom exercise plan for my hip, and helped me to adjust when I wasn’t getting on well with certain stretches and exercises. Holly’s execution is only matched by her knowledge, and the very clear drive for always improving that knowledge that she has. I cannot recommend Holly highly enough, and I know that whenever I have wear and tear that is giving me recurring pain and discomfort she is the first person I call.

I have been seeing Holly for many years as required for various injuries and niggles through my strongman prep leading up to competitions and during off season training. She has always identified the problem area quickly and treated it effectively. I continue to see her regularly to keep on top of tight areas and general maintenance. Holly has always made me feel comfortable, relaxed and welcome when I see her. Which given previous experiences is a breath of fresh air

My wife and I have been seeing holly for over two years and I can't recommend her highly enough. She's very approachable, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. Holly has helped us both with a range of injuries, both new and long-standing, and she always takes time to understand the problem and explain the treatment clearly. Thanks to her support, we've been able to recover faster and manage ongoing issues much better. A fantastic sports injury therapist who genuinely cares about her clients.

I have visited Holly a number of times for both injury treatment and sports massage for general back aches. With a knee injury she found the problem, eased pain, made recommendations for recovery and prevention as well as ongoing exercises. She checked in to see how I was doing. I found her approach to be professional, friendly and really caring. I also have required deep tissue massages for general back aches. I have found regular massages have kept niggles at bay and helped me live more comfortably. Her recommendation to do yoga for both back and knee has helped massively with mobility, strength and wellbeing. I have recommended Holly to others and will continue to do so as I find her to be a wonderful sports therapist. Her professionalism, attention to detail and ongoing care is brilliant. Thank you for all of your help!
