My best friend gifted me with a sports massage. One of those things I had contemplated for a while but never quite got around to booking. We're all guilty of neglecting ourselves and putting something else as a priority!
I was a little sceptical beforehand, other people are quick to tell you about their bad experiences with a sports massage (I have to stress... NOT WITH RYAN!!) Having said this, Ryan made me feel very welcome and very comfortable from the moment of arrival. Ryan is very knowledgeable so I knew I was in safe hands... and boy what hands!! I think my message to my friend was "hands (and elbows) of a god" 😂 I will definitely be seeing Ryan again!
I hope this review helps you make your mind up... do it... you deserve it 👌🏼 - Jessie·
Ryan was absolutely amazing and made me feel so at ease the entire time. Never had a sports massage so didn’t know what to expect but he talked me through the whole process. Honestly couldn’t recommend him more than enough!

Great sports massage from Ryan. Worked with me to treat the areas that most needed work, and provided great advice on moving forward.

Ryan is absolutely superb. I have been an avid runner for decades. Due to over training in the last 2 months, I was unable to walk without massive pain for nearly 3 weeks due to strained muscles in my lower back and leg. One Sports Massage therapy session with Ryan and I am amazed at the gain in mobility and decrease in pain. On his schedule for monthly maintenance. Thank you Ryan!

Ryan was absolutely brilliant. His communication was top tier to begin with. So friendly and informative. I was completely clueless and never had a sports massage before but he really made me feel at ease about it and I’ve always hated the idea of a massage but Ryan made me feel so comfortable I wish I found him sooner. He was actually able to fit me in really quickly which was fantastic as my current work schedule is a pain currently and that was extremely appreciated. I cannot recommend Ryan enough! I will definitely be back!

Having now seen Ryan weekly over a number of sessions, I can confidently say my initial impression was absolutely justified.
My shoulder issues are not straightforward. I have a long history of Olympic lifting, chronic shoulder dysfunction, significant compensation patterns, and major tendon reconstruction surgery on my left shoulder. Over time this led to substantial overcompensation on my right side, creating tightness, trigger points, restricted movement, poor tissue quality, and persistent pain around the scapular region.
Ryan has taken a genuinely clinical and structured approach to the rehabilitation process. Across multiple sessions he has worked extensively through my shoulders, chest, lats, traps, rhomboids, triceps, and biceps, always treating the shoulder girdle as a complete functional system rather than focusing on isolated muscles. His understanding of how compensation patterns develop and how they affect movement has been particularly impressive.
The results have been significant. The pain and discomfort around my scapular area has reduced substantially, my range of motion has improved, tissue tone is noticeably better, and for the first time in a long while I can move comfortably without constantly being aware of restrictions or irritation around the joint.
More recently we introduced dry needling once the larger issues had been addressed through manual therapy. I was slightly apprehensive beforehand, but the process was virtually painless. More importantly, several of the deeper trigger points that had been resistant to treatment became noticeably smaller, with the benefits becoming increasingly apparent over the following days.
What I particularly appreciate is that Ryan understands rehabilitation is a process rather than a quick fix. As the tissue quality improves and the shoulder complex begins to function more normally, new compensations and trigger points can emerge as the body adapts. He continually reassesses, adjusts the treatment plan, and focuses on the next limiting factor rather than applying the same approach every session.
Beyond the treatment itself, Ryan has also provided practical advice on modifying my training to support recovery, helping me continue exercising while reducing the risk of reinforcing the very compensation patterns we're trying to correct.
I've worked with many sports therapists, physiotherapists, and rehabilitation specialists over the years. Very few combine the anatomical knowledge, hands on skill, and rehabilitation mindset that Ryan demonstrates. If you're a serious lifter, athlete, or someone dealing with complex long term shoulder issues rather than a simple strain or niggle, I would have no hesitation recommending him. He's made a meaningful difference to a problem I've been managing for years, and we're continuing to make progress every week. - Bradley Clifford·
I went to Ryan with a sore right hand side of my back he knew exactly what to do and his worked paid off I am now fully back on my gym plan and gaining lots more strength than I could have when I was carrying this injury so THANK YOU SO MUCH RYAN!
