TESTIMONIALS

From start to finish, Chris was professional, informative and enthusiastic. He took a full medical history and posture analysis and then went on to the full body maintenance massage, which was specific for my hobby and targeted problem areas. With great communication skills, Chris made me feel totally at ease throughout. I felt great afterwards, and he gave me post-care advice that was really helpful.

Visiting Symmetry Sports Massage for the first time, I was keen for my fatigued legs to feel brand new again, after months of marathon training. I was very impressed with Chris’ knowledge and holistic approach to treatment. I was welcomed, made comfortable and listened to. Not only did my legs feel fully rejuvenated, but I also left with valuable post-treatment advice.

Two days until Manchester Marathon and I had aching calves and hips, and my legs were feeling tight and fatigued. Chris helped me understand why my body was feeling this way. After a great sports massage treatment, I came away reassured and rejuvenated - and, two days later, managed a marathon PB.

I reached out to Chris after I picked up a tight calf following a race, with only a 6-day turnaround before the next one. After the session with Chris, the injury began easing up straight away. I completed the next race pain-free - all down to Chris.

For me, running and racing obstacle courses is where I relax. However, sometimes it’s easy to forget to give your body some much-needed TLC - even during off-season when training. Sometimes sports massages can feel awkward, but Chris made me feel relaxed within moments. He thoroughly discussed the techniques he was using, questioned if I had any aches or pains, and provided a post-massage to-do list.

I’m currently training for the London Marathon. Being on the wrong side of 50, I often suffer from niggly achilles and tight quads. Chris has given me useful exercises to keep me running, helped my calves with muscle scraping and even used cupping to relieve the tension in my quads. I believe he’s really making a difference to my running.

I can’t recommend Chris Seale enough. Whether it’s aches and pains from training or general office life, I feel so much better - my back pain has gone! Thank you.

A regular sports massage is something I knew I should be doing, but never got round to arranging. But Symmetry has now become part of my monthly routine. Chris is professional and super knowledgeable, making me feel at ease during every treatment. I leave feeling informed, and my body feels great.

Rosie Silvester, long-distance runner

I’m fairly active and typically in the gym four times a week, but my job is very sedentary, sat behind a laptop all day. I can really notice a difference when I’ve had a sports massage, particularly when it comes to my posture and overall flexibility. Chris is personable and his recommendations are personalised, with tailored approaches for each individual.

In the past, I’ve not enjoyed massages. So, when I decided to try Chris at Symmetry Sports Massage on a whim, I was half-expecting another one hit wonder. Instead, I was delighted to discover the sports massage equivalent of Mariah Carey; a wide range of tools, options and possibilities. Chris is supportive and ensures any pressure placed on the body is just right. I highly recommend him.

Since starting Triathlon training, my muscles were feeling tight. I felt the time was right to schedule in a regular sports massage. I found Chris to be professional, talking me through each step of the treatment, making sure I was comfortable and happy throughout the massage. I left feeling great - 100% recommend.

I’m running more miles than ever, and a regular massage can really aid with recovery. Chris is motivating, and the pre-treatment assessment showed I needed to improve my mobility, with Chris sharing some fantastic exercises to help with this. My legs feel so much better, and my range of motion has absolutely improved since my first visit. If you’re regularly training for high mileage, then a regular sports massage can make a massive difference.

I feel fantastic and would highly recommend Chris. I had issues with my left shoulder and his massage aided with soothing the pain. My spine doesn’t feel as stiff as before either, and it’s helped with my training no end.

After beginning a more intense training cycle, I decided to book myself in for a sports massage with Chris. I was blown away by his knowledge and professionalism. After a full consultation to assess any issues that could lead to injury, Chris advised on actions I could take to help prevent this from happening. The sports massage itself was fantastic, with Chris checking throughout that I was comfortable. I would highly recommend.

I’ve spent many years going to the gym, weight-lifting, running, climbing mountains and cold water swimming, but never thought to invest in sports massage. Now I’ve found Chris, I won’t look back. After one session, I felt so much looser and lighter. Chris is the ultimate professional, while still being friendly and warm.

I received a great sports massage from Chris. I follow a routine to stay healthy in body and mind, but until now a massage wasn’t part of this plan. My routine has now evolved to include a monthly sports massage, too!
