Ahhh Charleen you're a saviour! It took 2 visits but she fixed my bloody hamstring injury that had been so hard to detect! I had been sat at home self-diagnosing for a good week or so, gradually becoming more and more depressed that I couldn't play football when I finally decided it was time to get some treatment.
I booked in at The Good Health Centre as the main guy there, Dougie, had treated loads of my friends and family members, but as I booked in short notice it was Charleen who I was booked in to see - she is brilliant!
Anyone who has endured a proper sports massage will tell you theres very little relaxation involved in it as the idea is to get those knots out and work those tight parts of your body into a more natural fluid state.
Charleen certainly does that. The first massage helped loosen up my hamstring but 2 days later I could still feel a slight kink in there, so I booked back in and they made an effort to fit me in on that day - great service. The second massage hit the spot, literally. As my hamstring was a little looser for this one, it enabled her to pinpoint the exact spot that was pinching and 45 agonising minutes of me gripping the treatment table later I felt ready to play again - and I did, 2 days later for the full 90 minutes.
The best bit about these guys though, and this goes for Charleen, Dougie and the entire team, is they tell you whats causing your pain and what to do to prevent it in future! I think I'll be making a weekly or bi-weekly massage part of my regime now - and a £30 a time you can't really knock that!
I can play football again. So happy Matty is back. read more
