Customer testimonials
After 9 months injury-free training for Ironman 70.3 Dublin I managed to badly strain my calf 5 days out from the race. Somehow Michael managed to fix it and I managed to get around with no issues. Thanks a million, Michael!
I would highly recommend Michael to all runners, even to those of you who are not injured. I try to go to Michael once a month for a sports massage. I find that this releases any tension and tightness that builds up in my muscles. He genuinely has an interest in all his clients.
Michael worked on lengthening my psoas to open up my stride. A tight psoas can cause a litany of injuries. Michael helped improve my running posture and alleviate tightness and pain in my back, hip and groin.
