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: 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.

Karen Rooney 1 year ago

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.

Austin M Crawford 1 year ago

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

Connor Morgan 1 year ago

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

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

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.

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!

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

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!

Tracy Tookey 1 year ago

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.

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!
