CLIENT SPOTLIGHT
"The massage was the best I’ve had and the mixed modality of stretches and massage very effective."
Ben Lambert-Hope
“I’ve just had my first appointment with John at Ultra Massage and Stretch for a 1 hour massage therapy session. I made the booking after seeing an advert online and debating it for a while. I highly recommend the experience. I left after my appointment feeling very relaxed, and with a better range of motion than I’ve had in some time, which I really noticed while swimming the next day.
For context of my expectations and frame of reference I work in an office and have the typical issues with tension in my upper back and shoulders along with hip flexibility from sitting for long periods. I do try and stay on top of stretching and exercises but it’s sometimes not enough. I’ve had massage therapy a few times at different places before but not regularly.
Booking is via the website and you make payment at the same time. Appointment availability was good and I was able to make an appointment for the following Sunday morning. The location is easy to find and you can park right outside.
John was really welcoming which put me at ease. We went through a short consultation first which included a questionnaire with the usual questions about health as well as some lifestyle questions before my session. He asked about any problem areas for me and any preferences for the treatment.
In terms of physical environment the set up was very good with the treatment room a clean, comfortable space which had been prepared for my visit. The temperature and light levels were perfect.
During the treatment John took on-board my feedback from the consultation and tailored everything to my needs, checking in with me regularly, on things like pressure as well as providing advice on different issues I’d been having, showing me some exercises after and recommending further resources which would help me in these areas.
The massage was the best I’ve had and the mixed modality of stretches and massage very effective. I will certainly return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend- if you’re unsure give it a try!“

Assisted Stretching & Sports Massage: Client Success Stories
“I had a hybrid stretch and massage session today. I train and run regularly and usually see an osteopath to keep me pain free but felt I needed a little something extra to get rid of the knots and tight muscles, particularly on one side of my body. The session was just what I needed. I’ll definitely be back for a full stretch session and another massage.”

The website is so easy and quick. All the Information you need for the appointment is emailed to you. The actual massage/stretching is targeted and John has great knowledge! Would 100% recommend for anyone who plays sport and as he can relate..”
“John was very professional and I felt much better after a ‘Ultra Hybrid’ treatment. After a brief consultation we got down to the treatment. John was very careful not to aggravate an existing knee injury and worked around it easing off my current lower back and hip issues. I’ll definitely use John again.!

“I’ve struggled for years to find a great massage therapist outside of London who really understands how to read the muscles and provide an intelligent massage based on what my body needs at the time.
Problem solved! I am already booking my next appointment. Thank you John for easing my aching, tense muscles.”
“Just had a great stretch and massage session with John. I found the stretch part was really helpful in unlocking my tight back and hips due to sitting at work. I would thoroughly recommend it.”

“What a great service! I suffer with lower back pain and hypermobility and had been feeling very stressed and sore. John was fantastic. I was able to get an appointment quickly and John was careful to listen to my needs. The massage was extremely professional and left me feeling incredibly relaxed. My back felt so much better after just the first session, much more effective than other places I’ve been to. I’d highly recommend Ultra massage and especially John. Many thanks.”
“I find stretching does help, but coming to Ultra, I found I could get a deeper assisted stretch!“

“Having woken with very painful right shoulder and neck a couple of days prior, I attended a session with John at Ultra Massage and Stretch.
John spent time finding out the history of my case and took a full medical survey including asking questions about my work posture, exercise and general stress levels.
He took time to understand the nature of my pain and where it was most intense.
John spent time carefully working through a series of arm movements to determine the likely source of the pain. He was mindful of my pain and was slow and smooth as he manipulated my arm and shoulder, checking that I was not experiencing unnecessary pain.
He concluded the most likely muscle area of concern and completed a series of stretches to help open up the area of tightness before moving on to spend about 30 minutes deeply massaging my neck, shoulder, arm and back.
John was professional, polite and genuinely interested in our conversation. He provided advice on further exercises that I could do.
The sharp pain was much reduced after the massage and the mobility of my shoulder and arm much improved within 24 hours.
Should I need to, I’d definitely head back for further treatment.”
“I visited John at Ultra Massage and Stretch as he came with great reviews after researching. John made me very welcome and I felt really at ease.
I have back, neck and shoulder problems and John advised what was best for these. The treatment felt like everything was being worked at. Afterwards I felt great and my aches and stiffness was a lot better. I will be booking in again!”

After a few sessions of assisted stretching and massage, my legs felt lighter, my swing improved, and my score dropped.
John, my therapist, is very knowledgeable, friendly, and skilled, and he tailored the sessions to my specific goals.
I would encourage anyone who loves golf to get a massage and assisted stretch session at Ultra.
I felt Relaxed Throughout the Whole Process!
Because of the way John dealt with the massage and gave the massage, I think it would be available to anyone, and useful to anyone; women with children and general day to day stress, but also for office workers, who are essentially a lot more hunched over in their posture than they should be.

I feel more flexible, energized, and pain-free. John, my therapist, is very professional, courteous, and attentive to my needs. He always makes me feel comfortable and relaxed.”
