Relief for tired, heavy legs. Pulsio compression boots use dynamic air pressure to rhythmically squeeze and release the legs.
Tailored Sessions

Coaching
Helping you move, lift & live better.
Massage is half of it. As a Personal Trainer I also coach, in person and online, so the work we do on the couch carries into the gym and the rest of your week.

“I've had issues with my hips since pregnancy 12 years ago. Ryan did more in one session than weeks of physio. I didn't think it was possible to fix them but I've had no pain since visiting. It was so good I have just been for my second visit. I walked out straighter, pain free and my gym sessions since have been much easier. Very professional, friendly and puts you at ease. Throughly recommend”
“First time ever having a sports massage, Ryan was very helpful in making me feel comfortable and explained everything as it was being done. I drive for a living so alot of built up back pain after this first session I feel amazing. Would highly recommend 👌”
“I went to Ryan for a massage after not having one for a very long time and I will certainly be coming back regularly. Being a therapist myself I knew I would be needing a good deep treatment and that it was. Felt brilliant to get treated myself! Thankyou Ryan 😊”
“Amazing service from Ryan! First time visiting him as a bodybuilding athlete having some upper back and forearm issues which Ryan located and treated going deep into the muscle tissue to ease off the muscle tension and pain. Feel so much better since getting the deep tissue treatment done. One of the best deep tissue massages I have had in a long time. Ryan is highly recommended to anyone looking to get a sports massage!”
“I've had ongoing issues with my shoulders, and recently the whole of my upper back, neck and shoulders have felt like they were well on the way to seizing up completely. I booked in with Ryan for a sports massage, and hoped for an improvement. However, Ryan expertly addressed my issues and far surpassed my expectations, as now my shoulders feel pain free and the best they have in a long time. I have greater mobility, and can't thank Ryan enough for curing an issue I thought may have been beyond help. An excellent and professional service all round, 5 stars !!!”
“Very few combine the anatomical knowledge, hands-on skill, clinical reasoning and understanding of serious strength training that Ryan demonstrates.”
“I had another great massage from Ryan tonight. I’ve been going to Ryan for over 2 years now, and he has really helped me with my sciatica and lower back pain. He is always friendly, professional and knows what he is doing. I always feel so much better after my appointments. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone suffering with back pain or just needing a good massage. Thanks again, Ryan!”
“Been having ankle and knee issues for a few weeks. Sports massage Thursday from Ryan improved movement and flexibility greatly. Managed 1st run this morning in 5 weeks, so another 5km park run done. Thanks Ryan, be back soon.”
“I have a reset body thanks to Ryan.”
