“I have been having regular massages from Sam for a couple of years and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She tailors each session to my specific needs and helps with my migraines and any aches and pains I get from being on my feet all day.”

The treatment
A typical treatment consists of Sam discussing with the client about previous medical history, any relevant injuries, daily routine, and specific areas of concern. Also a discussion of issues arising in their ridden work and what level of achievement they are aiming for. After this initial background information has been given then the full body treatment, focusing on the problem areas, with stretches is carried out. Suggested exercises to support ongoing muscle development between recommended treatment sessions are given. These exercises help maintain and enhance the benefits of the therapy. Treatments can be carried out at Sam’s practice or in your own home.
Treatment times are either 30 minutes or one hour, depending on each individual requirement.
AFTERCARE
After the initial treatment has been carried out a tailored plan will be arranged for each client for specific, problem areas.
“I've been seeing Sam every couple of weeks for massages over the past few years. I used to visit a chiropractor for my back issues, but thanks to Sam, my back has improved so much that I no longer need chiropractic care! I highly recommend Sam to anyone in need of sports massage.”
