What People Are Saying
“Ben has helped me immensely with identifying key causes of my running injuries. Through relieving tension in my muscles with relaxing massage, dry needling and also prescribing mobility and strength work, I have been able to move past my injuries. I continue to see Ben for routine massage as I ramp up my training and highly recommend him.”

“I really can't recommend Ben highly enough. Having had back pain for the best part of 5 years and a particularly bad flare in the last 6 months I thought I'd just have to deal with pain forever more, however after 2 treatments with Ben and some easy mobility exercises to do myself this is the best my back has ever felt. Very knowledgeable and thorough!”

“Ben has helped relieve my hip pain that I had been suffering from for a long time. He is very knowledgeable and has given great follow-up tips and exercises. I was also initially scared of dry needling but Ben does it well and I feel a lot better after dry needling. Highly recommend Ben! He’s helped me a lot with alleviating pain and improving my mobility.”

When you get a remedial sports massage treatment before a Crossfit Competition really depends on your goal. If it’s just to feel good before comp day and you're not dealing with any niggles, then the day before is fine. If you're looking to improve mobility or reduce muscle soreness, aim for 5 to 2 days out from competition day.
