I had experienced a very painful spasm in my lower back and found Adele on the internet. Booking an appointment online was very straightforward and the complication of an overseas address was quickly overcome by Adele. I cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism during the treatment. She described all the actions she was going to undertake in advance and the treatment was focussed directly to my issue. Adele put me entirely at ease with her professional approach and delightful personality. I highly recommend her

I came in struggling from an injury and had tried various professionals and nothing seemed to help. Adele listened to what was going on, explained her treatment plan and I haven't looked for further advice again! I'm getting back into weight training again and finally pain free - would highly recommend :)

I cannot thank Adele enough! As a student nurse, entrepreneur, mother, wife and carer to family as well as tackling my own health, my back went into complete spasm which left me with horrific debilitating pain, stopping me from being able to do any normal daily activities. I was desperate for anything to stop the pain. I googled for hours, then I stumbled across Optimum Body. I was able to get an appointment later on the same day. Luckily for me it was 3 minutes away. I walked out after my treatment already feeling a huge improvement. And within 48 hours I was back at work like it never happened

Adele is an excellent massage therapist, fully understands physiology and can therefore deliver an effective massage treatment. She is extremely professional, her office is very nice, modern and clean and the highest COVID safety protocols are followed. Highly recommend Adele if you are looking for massage therapy, whether its for an injury, painful area or relaxation. Would definitely rate Adele as the best massage therapist in Oxford.

Adele is fantastic - highly professional but very friendly and puts you at ease. I have seen her both for specific injuries but also for ongoing maintenance of troublesome areas and feel relief after every session. I can highly recommend!

Adele is a fantastic massage therapist! I had been having issues with injuries for a while, and was getting really frustrated that I couldn't get back to training, and had tried multiple routes that led to nowhere. However after starting to receive treatment from Adele, I'm gradually returning to training and feel more confident about easing myself back to it.
Adele is very friendly and professional, and she communicates brilliantly as she massages and informs you as to what she's doing and why, further reinforcing confidence in the process. The booking system is very easy to use, and makes pre
