With all of our training packages you receive a full consultation so we can work out your goals and discuss the way you wish to train. The goals you set are then tracked over each month, and weekly training sessions are planned to ensure you are constantly working towards achieving your goals.

We can provide you with nutrition advice and general strategies such as keeping a food diary - a proven method to teach you how to make healthy and sustainable changes.Advice on recovery strategies comes with all packages, as does email support when you need it. Consultation at the initial meeting includes a health screening, fitness assessments and goal setting.

Sports Massage treatments are targeted to support fitness and wellness. Treatments help to reduce the demands that sport and general life place on the body, increases the ability to perform optimally and enhances and shortens recovery time. Each treatment is tailored to you, treating your specific needs, be it sport, relaxation, fitness maintenance or aiming for peak performance.

Preventing injuries is part of what we do at Global Therapies. One aspect of this is periodic (weekly, bi-weekly or monthly) maintenance massage, which many of our regular clients benefit from. Another very important aspect is for you to be fully aware of the reasons behind injury and to know ways in which you can help to prevent injury.

We offer hot stone massage as a therapeutic and restorative treatment. We can also, where desired, incorporate hot stones into our soft tissue therapy and sports massage treatments to give you a deep, relaxing and effective treatment. During the treatment hot stones are used to release muscular tension.
