My objective as a sports therapist is to alleviate your muscle pain and joint discomfort by using a wide range of treatment methods, not just massage. I have been a keen sportsman since my childhood, playing football and running cross country at County level. I progressed from Half Marathons, Marathons, 30km Races, on to Triathlon in 2009.
Visited Richard with a troublesome shoulder. His attention to detail, reassurance and understanding are impeccable. I would not hesitate to recommend him, return to him and provide nothing but positive feedback. Excellent service highly recommend.

Excellent and very professional service. I booked an appointment with Richard due to a painful injury to the lower right back. Richard quickly identified the cause of injury and provided various treatment (ie acupuncture, heat treatment, massage, stretches), which achieved immediate results and accelerated the recovery process. Would definitely recommend Achilles Healers Sports Therapy. Thanks Richard

I saw Richard recently with severe stiff back and sciatica pain, after just two sessions I started feeling much much better, I am walking better and having more restful nights. He used a combination of acupuncture and massage which I found very helpful and relaxing.
It is also reassuring as Richard follows the Covid guidelines.
I always receive an hour of excellent service, I can't recommend him enough.
