Doherty Sports Therapy & Massage: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Excellent,helped my daughter get back to sports after two year layoff with foot problem. Really happy we went to Ryan really helped my daughter
Fantastic experience: Messaged Ryan late Saturday evening having just found his details online. He replied within a few minutes and thankfully was able to offer me an appointment a few days later. He was very friendly and I was really impressed with his knowledge and skills. He worked mainly on my back, neck and shoulders using a combination of massage, scraping and cupping. His gentle approach proves that you can fix someone without inflicting serious pain! I've been to many massage therapists over the years and he stands out as one of the best. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Ryan is a knowledgeable professional which will get you moving and reach your goals.
Thank you for the review Frederick

Thank you for the review Frederick
Fantastic experience: I first went to Doherty Sports Therapy & Massage with a long term knee injury I couldn't get any relief from. Since then Ryan has completely eradicated my knee injury through a mixture of message and specific muscle exercises. You will receive expert therapy and an education here plus, the craic is mighty. Will always recommend Ryan first when it comes to sports therapy.
The craic is surely mighty! Thanks for a great review Ben
Fantastic experience: Ryan is very knowledgeable and insightful in his field. He approaches his work with professionalism and in a friendly manner.
Thanks for the 5* review Jeremy
Fantastic experience: Ryan is great PT & Therapist. Sorted my pain out when many others couldn’t. Has knowledge on functional anatomy that very few out there do which takes his services to the next level!
From one coach to another thank you for the great review

Thanks for the fantastic review Jonny
Fantastic experience: Great lad & always 1st class service every time I've been for Sports Therapy. Great set up & would highly recommend.
Thanks for the review Adam
Fantastic experience: A few weeks ago, I took the plunge and signed up for a 10 week course with Ryan. I wanted to do strength training, and be taught the correct way to stand, and lift weights, free weights and the bell bar. Do not fear weights girls, they do not bulk you up. They tone you, they strength your core and help in day to day things. It was the best 10 weeks of learning, along with the, "your not expecting me to lift that"...but Ryan gave me the confidence and showed me the correct way..even tho I did call him a few names I am not afraid to lift the heaver weights now at the gym. And I honestly love using them now. So thank you Ryan, and hopefully see you again.
Brilliant review Karen , I'm so happy to help you on your fitness journey and give you the confidence to train solo keep going
Fantastic experience: Been going to Ryan for a couple of years. I would have a very active lifestyle between the gym, hiking, fitness classes etc. Ryan helps take away all the aches and pains. Highly recommend to get your body MOT maintenance done! Thank you Ryan for your support all these years. Lynne Troughton
Thank you so much for that lovely review Lynne , it's always a pleasure to have you in
Fantastic experience: Had a great session with Ryan. I found out a few reasons why I was having more pain in the muscles that I was having constant sorness with. Explained and showed me the reasons why and how with some simple stretching I can strengthen certain muscles to avoid overworking the wrong muscles. I also tried the cupping on my legs as they get the most abuse..and he explained to me exactly how they work and the benefits. And being 37 and still playing football I need all the help on recovery as possible. Very knowledgeable and easy goin. Great setup and great experience. I'll be back for another session again soon
Happy day's Austin, what a great review, it was my pleasure to help you out my man
Fantastic experience: Friendly, kind and knowledgeable. Ryan gave me a lovely sports massage and cupping which helped ease my stiff back. As well as showing me some exercises to help. Looking forward to my next appointment.
Thank you so much for the review Amy ! It was a pleasure to work with you Ryan
Fantastic experience: "Combining a sports massage with cupping was an amazing experience! Ryan utilized both techniques to target specific areas of tension and promote healing and recovery. The sports massage helped to address tight muscles and knots, while the cupping therapy provided deep suction to increase blood flow and release toxins. The combination of these two therapies resulted in a deep sense of relaxation and relief. I noticed a significant improvement in my muscle soreness and flexibility after the session. If you're looking for a comprehensive treatment to enhance your athletic performance and promote overall well-being, I highly recommend Ryan
Thank you so much for the review Conor , this was a team effort doing your rehab greatly contributed to a faster recovery
Fantastic experience: Thankfully the client’s age doesn’t seem to be a problem. Ryan sorted out a painful injury caused by over enthusiastic frisbee throwing and took me on to improve general fitness. Skilful and intuitive with his approach, I’m getting fitter and stronger with the sessions. I rate him highly. Graham
Thank you so much for the review Graham
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend enough. Top class massage, I've been to Ryan a few times now and with various injuries and What I like about Ryan's practice is how he finds my area of tightness without me even directing him to the problem area. The tools, manipulations and techniques used bring great relief. Definitely will be back.
Thank you so much Declan for the review, it's always a pleasure to work with you Ryan
Fantastic experience: Ryan's expertise and friendly approach made a huge difference in my recovery. After a severe ankle injury, I needed long-term rehabilitation. Ryan personalised my treatment plan, gradually introducing corrective and strengthening exercises that pushed me at the perfect pace for optimal recovery. Over the months, I saw steady progress and positive improvement. It's fantastic to have such a skilled and personable therapist in the local area!
Thank you so much for the review Tom , You are doing a fantastic job on your rehabilitation journey so give yourself some credit Thank you again for the review
Fantastic experience: My first time with Ryan today and I couldn’t have had a better sports massage .He was extremely thorough and treated all the areas I had mentioned.I could definitely feel the effect afterwards and hopefully in the days to come. I would highly recommend him and will most certainly be returning myself for more treatment

Fantastic experience: I recently moved to the area and Ryan has been helping me with my ongoing neck and back issues. My neck was pretty seized up and with a mixture of cupping and massage it is now almost back to normal and the back is liveable too. We are currently working on some exercise as well as the massage in order to increase mobility and it is going well so far. Would strongly recommend

Thank you so much for these kind words and my first 5* review Amy
Fantastic experience: As a 5k runner, I use sports massage therapy for recovery and pre-hab. What I like about Ryan's practice is how he finds my area of tightness without me even directing him to the problem area. The tools, manipulations and techniques used bring great relief. I've used this service regularly for its competitive pricing and high standard. Fully recommend
Look forward to seeing you again Ryan
Fantastic experience: If you’ve never had a sports therapy massage it can be daunting taking that first step. But Ryan makes you feel so welcome and supported, he has a wealth of knowledge and experience. It took me a couple of sessions for my body to feel the benefits but now I feel great after each session and look forward to the next one!
Always a pleasure to work with you Katy
Fantastic experience: Ryan really helped me to rehabilitate and strengthen my shoulder following a painful and inoperable rotator cuff injury. He also helped me to strengthen other areas which had weakened due to a reduction of exercise overall, following that injury. In fact he gave me the confidence to (safely) lift nd bear weights that were heavier than I ever had done before the injury issues. Ryan is also down to earth and friendly to work with.
You made an remarkable journey in your rehabilitation Tracy , you are now stronger than ever keep up the good work at home
Fantastic experience: Top tier therapy, Ryan is great at what he does. Highly recommend for any sports injury. He has helped my movement improve so much in a couple of sessions
Glad I could help you Callum

Thank you so much Kim for the kind words it's was my pleasure to help you Ryan
Fantastic experience: I have suffered with chronic headache for years, Ryan has been working on my back and neck and the headache s are few and far between. He has a great knowledge of the human body and how to help it . Highly recommended
It was my pleasure to help you Kathleen ☺️
Fantastic experience: Just had a sports massage from Ryan today. It was absolutely brilliant, as Ryan listened to my issues (shoulder and neck tension) and delivered a great deep tissue massage and cupping therapy on my back, which fully relieved all tension in the area. I feel brand new and having never experienced cupping therapy before I'd definitely recommend it! Get down to Ryan and try it out, I'll definitely be back soon!
Thanks for such a positive review James , glad to help you and see you soon for your next appointment
