“I’ve been amazed at just how quickly Kyle got me running again pain free. I’d never competed in Run Norwich previously and it didn’t look like I’d even make the starting line let alone finish with the time I did before we began. It’s been easy to complete my ‘homework’ consisting of a few, easy to understand exercises, to the extent that I took them with me on a recent holiday. The rewards have been fantastic with a big improvement in my 10k time and a 23:39 Parkrun last week which was over a minute ahead of my time four weeks previously.”

Calf pain recovery

“I initially approached Kyle, for help with an injury.  After some great progress, I asked Kyle to write me a training plan for the Cambridge half marathon.  I also had a runners MOT which helped to set a baseline and understand my areas for improvement. I am now well into my training and have seen huge improvements in my strength and speed. Kyle has been supportive and his advice and expertise is helping me to grow as a runner and understand how to get the best out of myself.”

Knee pain and half marathon plan

““I could barely run 5 miles without the niggle flaring up. I was recommended to Kyle by my friend for sports massage. He definitely knows his stuff and the exercises he recommended have been great. With so many events coming up I will be carrying on with the appointments and exercises as this has helped me so much.”

Questions?

This will depend almost entirely on your needs. I’ll make suggestions of how we proceed, but part of the consultation is seeing what’s realistic for you. My intention is to help you in the way you want. More sessions close together if it’s urgent to improve, or sessions spread out if there’s less time pressure or limited finances.

In all likelihood, no. Sports massage is a piece of the puzzle, but rarely the missing piece. That’s where my qualifications and experience in personal training and running coaching come to the fore. My method is to include a combination of exercises, drills, mobility and/or self-massage instruction, with narrated tutorial videos, to give you great results.

I won’t be the right choice for everyone. My approach is to work as a team where the emphasis is on me guiding your efforts to meet your needs with minimal sessions. Experience in a range of areas, including personal training, nutrition and running coaching however, means you may get a more well-rounded service than some therapists.

For injury management, we often look at fortnightly sessions to get on top of it quickly. Whilst some recommend weekly massage, this doesn’t create much additional improvement, and would cost you more. Once we get past the injury, we generally move to monthly maintenance massage, or massage in the days leading up to big races.

Even when there’s a very specific issue which we can only treat for 20 minutes following best practices, we achieve a better result by working around the affected area too, and assessing/adjusting the home exercises. Shorter sessions still require set-up and cleaning time, so aren’t very cost-effective either.

Unfortunately, the human body is too complex to ever guarantee a full recovery. That said, I have been successful with almost every client I’ve had the pleasure to work with, and will refer on to other experts if I feel I’m not the best person to help you. Numerous time I’ve been able to help people rid themselves of pain who have previously seen several specialists without success.

No. Physiotherapists are degree or masters level qualified, whereas I hold diplomas in sports massage. My background in personal training means there is a large overlap in some areas, and I can offer more running specific advice that physiotherapists generally can’t. Physiotherapists in private practice and NHS also work in different ways usually, but from the no-obligation consultation form, I can suggest if I feel a physiotherapist would be better suited to you and recommend one at that stage.
