Spark Sports Therapy

Tom Dunning

I've had a good number of massages by various masseuses / masseurs and Hollie is simply the best. Despite a complex medial problem she gives a through and effective massage. I have a rare & complex, vascular malformation, known as KTS, which affects my right side. It causes me acute and chronic pain through the length of my body and the location varies day to day. It also means that massage can be difficult because hidden veins can be very painful when rubbed the wrong way. They also run the risk of rupturing and causing an internal bleed. I also have significant lymph edema / swelling in my right leg. From my first consultation she took the time to understand my condition and even researched it in detail before the second session. As my pain moves, Hollie spends a few minutes at the start of each session to understand which areas need attention, which to avoid and what the impact of the previous treatment has been for me. Hollie gives me the deep tissue massage I need to ease the cramp, spasms and swelling while still avoiding the minefield of pain points in the same area. If I have a pain during the session Hollie immediately adapts to avoid the pain but keeps working on the area, instead of just abandoning it entirely as others have done. I currently have sessions every week with Hollie, because of the sate of my condition and I simply wouldn't invest in her if it wasn't effective. I come out of each session with far more flexibility, less welling and less pain. I can't recommend her enough.
