"Massage"
February 2006
Success Story
I have been having weekly massages from James at Holistic Touch for the last three months. Before the treatment I couldn’t sleep long because of a bad back and my neck was affected badly when cycling long distances.
Now I can sleep with no pain at all and I am not losing money to have days off work with bad backs. My cycle training is now on target and I look forward to thousands of miles in the saddle this year.
I’m carrying on with weekly sessions to prevent any injuries occurring.
Well done to Holistic Touch

"Sports Therapy"
March 2006
I attended Holistic Touch with what I thought were problems with my back,
however after an initial consultation with James we concluded that I had
problems with my shoulders. I attended weekly half an hour sessions and
gradually the pain and discomfort subsided, this allowed better performance
in my running and has generally made me more comfortable.
I now attend monthly sessions to keep on top of any stiffness which may be
developing, I would highly recommend any one with aches, pains or
discomfort to go to James for help. He is highly knowledgeable, friendly
and professional. I only wish I had went sooner!
Clare, 23 yr old, runner.
"Thai Yoga Massage"
April 2007
The Thai foot massage was a 'different experience', I've had reflexology before but the use of the 'tool' made the sensation extremely relaxing yet stimulating!

"Sports Injury"
December 2007
My shoulder injury was an absolute nightmare, but James just seemed to pinpoint the problem straight away and with each treatment gave me back mobility and freed me of any tension. I would like to say a big thank you, I know exactly where to go if I incur any other fitness related injury, or indeed if I just feel like a relaxing massage. Once again, Many Thanks.
