I have been an active runner all my life competing on a regular basis. I also take part in numerous outdoor sports such as kayaking, climbing and mountain biking. After struggling with lots of little injuries I decided I wanted to learn more about my body so I could understand my own body; this was when I looked into sports massage.
During this journey I have learnt that we need to look at the body as a whole. Since qualifying to work as a Sports Massage Therapist I have worked with members of the general public helping them to move better and also supporting elite athletes. For me, the biggest point to remember is you do not have to be an athlete to benefit from sports massage therapy.

As you may have worked out by the website name I'm Ben, I have been a keen runner and cyclist all my life and also take part in numerous outdoor sports such as kayaking, climbing and mountain biking.

Sports massage uses deep manipulation of the soft tissue to correct problems and imbalances caused by strenuous physical activity. Sports massage is an effective way to release tension and restore balance in your musculoskeletal system. Incorporating regular massages into your training plan can support your recovery, performance and help to prevent injuries.
If you are late to your appointment, the session will continue with the remaining time available, and will conclude at the original agreed time for the same fee. A minimum of 24 hours notice must be given to cancel an appointment. Failure to attend an appointment with less than 24 hours notice of cancellation will incur the charge for the full appointment.

Ben deserves the five stars that I have awarded him. For several months now I have used Ben for sports massage to keep me active and running whilst other professionals have attempted to manage what was misdiagnosed as sciatica. It was Ben, who, through his knowledge and experience felt that sciatica wasn’t the cause of my ongoing pain and discomfort and referred me on to a consultant Physio who diagnosed Proximal Hamstring Tendiopathy. Feeling now that I am finally on the right pathway to recovery I continue to use Ben to compliment other treatment that I am receiving. Ben is the ultimate professional

Absolutely first rate sports massage. Ben knows exactly what he's doing and I have no hesitation in recommending him. He has given me a better quality of life by easing those aches and pains built up over many years of leading a sedentary working life in front of computer screens. Thanks Ben. I return on a regular basis and if you want yourself sorted out then Ben is the person to do it. In addition, he's a really nice chap.

I could not recommend Ben enough, he is very personable & excellent at what he does. I have struggled with muscular pain for many years, but since I found Ben the pain has been far more bearable with his treatment and advice. I have tried a few places that offer sports massage in Cardiff and whilst some were good, none of them came close to Ben’s standard. I also think it is worth mentioning that his rate is reasonable in comparison to others offering a similar service.

Ben is absolutely amazing. Very professional and friendly service, had me belly-laughing from the get go! Being an elite swimmer, I put my body through a lot day-to-day, and if I ever suffer with DOMS, or an issue arises, Ben helps me out so much by working through my muscles and providing preventative measures, like different stretches/exercises, so that they don’t come back. Definitely the best deep tissue massage and cupping I’ve had, would 100% recommend going to see Ben!

Ben gives the best sports massage in Cardiff, and believe me I've tried a few! Ben's fingers are like knot-seeking missiles - he can find and fix the deepest and most well hidden sources of pain. Most of the time I'm in training for a marathon and I'm not getting any younger, so having regular massages with someone as skilled as Ben helps prevent little niggles building up into tears or strains. Ben has put me back together in time for some key races - just this week I went to him with a hamstring strain which he worked on so I was fit enough to run a PB in Cardiff Half - without his help it would

Massages aren't only for elite athletes, they are also beneficial to anyone whether you do exercise or not. Obviously if you do any form of exercise you will have injuries, niggles or just general aches and pains and that's when Ben's skills and knowledge are a life saver. Ben's massages always get to the root of the problem even when you think you are ok. I trust Ben's advice and experience and would recommend him totally. He is very professional and his down to earth approach makes you feel comfortable and well looked after.
