Synergy Sport Therapy

My problem areas were around my Achilles heel and calf. On my first visit my legs and hips were given a good working over which lasted over two hours and left with exercises to strengthen and stretch the problem areas, this got me back running without any pain. Stephen also recommended having my running gait analysed which I have had done in between sessions and new trainers with more support were required. Second session actually lasted a wee bit longer and I was given a thorough all over check including posture, hips, shoulders, back, ribs and legs, with no pain in the Achilles at all and calf worked on further and taped up (old rugby injuries seem to be coming to the fore having never properly healed). Can't wait to get back out running properly again and I can't thank Stephen enough for his thorough work ethic and professional manner. I will definitely be back!!

I hurt my back 7 years ago after a fall. I have been to see a number of different therapists in that time with no success. The pain was giving me sleepless nights , it stopped me walking and medication was not helping. In a desperate last attempt after reading reviews for Synergy I went to see Stephen. After 3 sessions later, a few exercises he gave me I have now been pain free for months. He is a really nice man who works on you like no one else I have ever been to see. Thank you so much Stephen.

My 14 year old hockey playing daughter has been to see Stephen for a variety of treatments.. from ankle pain to shoulder pain and everything in between. Everytime, Stephen has managed to get her fit and back on the hockey pitch in the shortest time possible. He is always professional, courteous and always takes a genuine interest in how she is doing and performing on and off the pitch. Would highly recommend Synergy sport therapy.

Just wanted to thank stephen at synergy sports therapy for fixing me. I am a triathlete who trains every day. I had an issue with my knee i did ignore it but it got worse and was painful. It even stopped me training !! I went to see stephen. I was a little apprehensive about it. But stephen put me at ease. We chatted and then he got to work. I left pain free.. which i didnt expect and i was back training within a week or so. I was so pleased and i am thankful to stephen at synergy sports therapy. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Stephen is brilliant sport therapist. Really knowledgeable and easy talk to talk too. Have referred family members to him and we all believe he helps in a positive way. Your definitely in good hands!

Visited Stephen after a knee injury earlier in year, happy to report knee is as good as it was before injury. Stephen listens to you and works wonders. Great service, would highly recommend him.

I have been running for about a year and a half and I was recently training for the Edinburgh marathon. I started to suffer with pain down my right side and I couldn’t decide if it was my hip, knee or ankle. I had been to Stephen before for an appointment and had gotten on amazingly so I booked in for another appointment to sort out this new issue. Stephen knew immediately that the problem was stemming from the glute area and he resolved all my trouble at one appointment and he gave me excellent exercises to try at home to build up my hip stability. Stephen also taped up the area to ensure a full recovery. Years ago I had been for a massage and I must say it had been rather painful but with Stephen you will feel no pain at all. Stephen works on the affected area with great gentleness but getting down deep to the affected area. However, Stephen not only works on the area causing trouble but he will also give you a complete check over to ensure that the body is aligned correctly and not leaning down on one side, which can cause problems. Another amazing technique that Stephen uses, and I must apologise as I do not know the technical term for it, but Stephen works on the rib cage area and I think that it has something to do with the fascia. The benefit that I have now experienced with this technique is that it will make you run like the wind! It involves working around the diaphragm and so it’s as if your lungs can take in more oxygen, which powers your body much more effectively but I have twice now run my fastest 5km times after Stephen used this technique. It is amazing and I hope that I have described this correctly! Stephen is so dedicated and he will always go out of his way to help you recover from an injury. You never feel rushed during your appointments with Stephen and he will spend as long as he needs to resolve the issue, chatting away and giving great advice! I would very highly recommend a visit Stephen to anyone suffering with pain or an injury.

Highly recommend Stephen at Synergy Sport Therapy. I suffered with a very painful hip after the birth of my son and thought it would take several treatments to alleviate the pain, however Stephen noticed the problem straight away, explained the techniques and positions he was going to use and how this would help. After the 1.5 hour treatment my hip felt back to normal with no pain and my posture had improved. I also felt relaxed and more positive. Amazing! Couldn't recommend Stephen enough. Even though I no longer have any pain I am still going to Stephen for massages and quick check ups as the health benefits of sports therapy are fantastic. Looking forward to my next visit!

I have been fortunate enough to have Stephen work on me several times this past 12 months. As an ultra runner, and long distance cyclist, I can't recommend him enough! Keeps me in one piece! There's no other therapist that I would use. Thanks Stephen!

Absolutely fantastic treatment! For the past few years I have been going to Stephen, he has put in 110% into every treatment and each time has got me back on track. Stephen takes the time to listen to my problems and provide me with exercises and plans to help me sort out my posture and weakness within my body. I can’t thank him enough!
