Marathons, a triathlon, a 50-mile ultra and still injury free thanks to my Osteopath!

I first visited natural balance therapies around five years ago for a one-off massage. I remember thinking that compared to other treatment centres, the massage seemed to focus a bit more specifically on what I needed, rather than just a general treatment, and my therapist seemed a lot more knowledgeable.

I booked massages sporadically when I needed an unwind, and then around two years ago started to get heavily into endurance training, marathons, ultramarathons, triathlons and rock climbing. This was when I realised I needed to look after my body if I was going to stay injury-free!

I returned to natural balance therapies this time for an osteopathy consultation with Matt, following recovery from a tendon injury in my ankle, which I wanted to keep an eye on and have someone check over.

Matt quickly identified my problem areas – including my right hip, which I was less aware of and was causing other regions to become tight. I felt so much better after that first treatment, and Matt also gave me some exercises to go away with to work on the area.

I see Matt regularly for treatments and have completed multiple marathons, a triathlon, a 50-mile ultra and many other events and have spent the last two years injury free!

I always enjoy coming to Natural Balance Therapies – everyone I’ve met there has been very knowledgeable and worked on areas specific to me rather than just a general all over treatment. I intend to keep coming for many years!
