Therapy Room Sheffield

"It was interesting to find the Alexander Technique was not just about correct posture - but encompassed the way we think.  Lucy's approach was professional and explained clearly and precisely, without the use of complicated jargon." Janet 

"No more turtle neck and contracting when I'm cold - I can keep my length when cycling and not crunch my neck.  I'm learning to trust my body and the support of gravity - so much easier."  Ian

“Thank you Annie, that was just great! It worked for me on several levels. I understand the fascination that giving a very attentive massage can have, but I have rarely been on the receiving end of one! I found myself very easily paying relaxed attention and your method and choices lovely to experience and very beneficial both in terms of soft tissue release, mobility and mental equilibrium. Wanting to hold on to the feeling…” PT

”I was working in a stressful job that involved a lot of time sitting at a desk and using a computer.  The job was exciting and interesting and it wasn’t until I had retired that I noticed that my shoulder movements were limited and my wife commented I was developing a stoup.  I thought this was partly due to old age, but I had been involved with massage thirty years ago and thought massage treatment may help or at least prevent any further deterioration.  I didn’t have any reservations about working with Eva, especially after having had a recommendation from a friend.  Eva did an excellent job, not only has there been no deterioration, but a considerable amount of improvement.  I particularly like her style of massage, professional but individual and well tailored to my needs.  After working with Eva I now realise that regular massage is a very effective way of remaining healthy” RS

“Kasia is an intuitive and skilful practitioner who has a real knack of finding the exact spot where the trouble is located. I need regular massage as I am elderly and also practice craft activities which put strain on my back and shoulders. I would be a poor wreck without my regular massage from Kasia. I have had massage from other therapists but Kasia’s style is unique. She is also very friendly and puts the client at ease, I always feel comfortable with her. In closing I would like to say I bought my son a session as a present and he was delighted too.” Helen Neale

"My wrist is completely better now (touch wood.) I felt that I did feel the benefits of the MLD you gave me especially when you moved to working more closely with the area around my cervical spine. I wanted to thank you for your support and time in helping me find solutions to the problem." JG(Massage and lymph drainage, together with expertise from physiotherapist Lesley Dyke, worked for this client)

“Thank you Annie. Your hands have done great work today. Feels like I have a new set of wrists! I feel great all over and not a hint of sciatica” JL

“I have been receiving regular massage treatment from the Therapy Room having broken my ankle 6 months ago. From the beginning, Kasia has played a key role in my recovery. Whilst working on my fractured ankle, she has also ensured that my good leg has not suffered from over-compensating. This has helped me to keep balanced and back to enjoying running and cycling as soon as possible. In my busy life, the Therapy Room has provided crucial time-out for body as well as mind.” Leo

“Fantastic, healing, informative, restorative, encouraging, balancing!  I would have recurrent headaches, maybe lasting 3 days every 1-2 weeks. This was linked to muscle tightness in my upper back and into my neck, likely as a result of stress at work and historical climbing muscle fatigue. I was hoping that Eva would follow her own style and become in tune with my aches and pains as well as the flow of how the difficulties potentially linked together.Eva massaged me before I realised I was expecting my first baby and then continued right through the pregnancy, and now again after the baby. It has been a journey to feel how my body and mind have changed and she subtly reminds me to pace myself!I also hope to try the scar tissue release, after the unplanned caesarean section I had at my daughter’s birth. This will be another step in helping to heal the physical and emotional body through holistic massage.As a result there is a definite decrease in headaches and a close second – time for myself!” Joanne

“I am someone who holds a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck. After my massage with Kasia yesterday, I felt so much better. My shoulders, which can get very hunched, felt like they had returned to their rightful place! I slept very soundly last night. I’d really recommend Kasia to anyone who needs to unwind, release tension, feel more relaxed.” Julia

“I was suffering a lot from neck and shoulder pain and had tried physio but found it was making it worse.  I was then recommended to you by my PT.  It has been enlightening, learning about how to listen to my body more and encouraging self healing with doing some manipulation at home which has helped me a great deal.  I now have no more pain and my recovery from my neck and shoulder has been speedy. The treatment was spread out to compliment my chiro appointments and I found that they both complemented each other in aiding my recovery.” Angel

“Thanks for your expertise this afternoon. You are terrific!” SM(Client makes excellent progress with debilitating shoulder pain, she had been on painkillers for months. A course of treatments with a chiropractor made no difference. After three treatments, and self-massage advice, she does not need any painkillers any more, even with the heavy workload coming up to Christmas.)

"Marilla has worked wonders! Lifting babies and toddlers over the last 18 months has slowly lead to back pain and tension headaches. Marilla has systematically worked her way through my aches and pains and started to work out the route cause in terms of my posture and lack of lower body flexibility. It has been transformational. My back is pain free, the tension headaches have disappeared and progress is definitely being made on my legs. Thanks you! I will be back for more!" - John

“Just wanted to let you know that I have been practically pain-free since my massage last week. Thank you so much”. BH
