If you are still unconvinced of the beneficial effects of massage or wondering how ART could help you train, I hope the following testimonials will give you the confidence to give me a call or email to arrange a session.
Running Coaching
Liu approached me to help her get a Marathon PB:
"Although I have been running for a while and completed a few half-marathons, I was seriously not sure if I could do a full length marathon and I had so many doubts about my ability.
Andy was highly recommended to me by one of the Serpentine coaches. After the first meeting with Andy, he designed a precise training programme for me within just one day. My initial doubt about my ability went away almost straight away after I saw the programme, which was well balanced and designed around my personal and working life. It was great to find that I did not feel the additional mileage becoming a burden to my busy life at all throughout the 3 months training.
With Andy's patient coaching style and endless friendly encouragement, I completed my first marathon within an ideal time (3:51). But his coaching style is still influencing my running training even now. I am so grateful to have been coached by Andy and have learnt so much throughout these three months about efficient and effective running routines. Cheers Andy for your hard work!''
- Liu, Serpentine
Holistic Massage for Tension Relief
Mariana came to ART with tension and sleeping problems. A course of 4 holistic massages, spread over a month, helped ease the stress that had built up in her shoulders and aided her sleep.
"I felt extremely relaxed and all the tension I had was gone. A calmness washed over me and I was able to sleep so much better. The aches and pains I had in my legs from exercising also very much diminished"
- Mariana, Serpentine
Recovery
Dean wanted to make sure he had fresh legs at the marathon starting line so, as well as tapering for the last 3 weeks of his training, he also booked 3 Sports Massage sessions with ART, which helped him recover from the demanding schedule as quickly and as fully as possible. Due to his hard training and a good taper aided by the massages, he achieved a 3:07 PB.
"I went to Andrew, on recommendation, but also as a therapist who is an experienced runner. This meant he was quickly able to help me identify the best course of treatment, as well as offer some associated tips on diet/training plans. I found his approach both professional and effective and would not hesitate to recommend him to others."
- Dean, Serpentine
Regular Maintenance
Trev has been having sessions with ART for the last 3 months at regular intervals, taking advantage of the bulk-buy discounts. The massages helped to keep her injury-free in that time.
"I received a series of treatments from Andrew while he was training and was always impressed with his knowledge ands technique. Since he has qualified I have continued to see Andrew as I find his massage very effective and his general training and racing advice an added bonus."
