I ran the half marathon on Sunday and my legs were so tight and sore after the race I booked in for a leg massage with Louise Nightingale at the WCHC. Wow, what a relief, her sports massage was amazing, my legs feel so much better this morning. Thank you Louise, I would definitely recommend you to anyone in need of a sports massage. XX

I had back pain for years due to work, it got to the point where I couldn't sleep very well. I went to see Mr Bull, the Osteomyologist here, it took about 4 sessions and now I am virtually pain free, I go in occasionally just for a top up. Best money I've spent. Great Thanks
