The Deskbound Athlete

Before I started working with Rhys I was having terrible shoulder pain, a result of spending my hours at a desk everyday. After working with him, both via massage and targeted exercise training, I’ve not only recovered, but my strength and mobility is better than it’s ever been! Rhys focus on mobility in training and deep muscular release in massage is truly the best support for my physical health I’ve ever had!

I’ve been working with Rhys for over a year now, and I genuinely have nothing but great things to say. He’s extremely knowledgeable, highly attentive, and consistently meets you exactly where you’re at—whether that’s training, recovery, or understanding what your body actually needs in the moment. What really sets Rhys apart is that he’s the perfect blend of personal trainer and massage therapist. He understands the body in a way only someone with both skill sets can, and that shows in how he programs workouts, adjusts on the fly, and helps prevent issues before they turn into injuries. Lucky for him, I travel way too much for work and don’t always complete my workouts, so he’s basically locked in a lifelong client. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands how the body moves, recovers, and performs—not just how to count reps—Rhys is your guy.

Rhys is a terrific Masseur. His extensive education and speciality in orthopedic makes his manual therapy excellent! Rhys also teaches his clients on how to maintain and relieve pressure points, to the detail of explaining the origin and insertion on musculature! All around fantastic, knowledgeable, and flexible therapist!

Rhys was professional, friendly and responsive to feedback. He arrived on time, asked for my preferences and periodically checked up on how I was feeling and if his pressure needed to be adjusted. As an athlete, my muscles are often tight and sore but I felt the tension melt away as Rhys worked on me. Afterwards, he told me useful information about what he picked up on and I was surprised how accurate he was without having told him. He noticed which leg I favored and areas of my body that held more tension than others. I can tell he is gifted at tuning into his clients needs and tailoring treatment individually. I'll definitely be booking another treatment soon and highly recommend him to anyone looking for increased relaxation and decreased muscle pain and stiffness.

Rhys is great! My wife and I had appointments with him recently and we greatly enjoyed the massages. He made sure to address all our problem areas and stayed well beyond the appointment time. He also took the time to explain each step that he was doing and the reason behind it. I would highly recommend Rhys!

Magic healing hands! Before I went to Rhys, my shoulders were in chronic pain do to me being a powerlifting crossfitter that also dislocated her shoulder a year ago. needless to say pain was a regular thing. After 1 session my shoulders felt the best they ever have and I knew what it was like to no longer live in pain that I tolerated and accepted as normal. I happily and eagerly book follow up sessions to keep my shoulders feeling their best while I continue to do what I love and lift heavy. Rhys is professional, has a gift in healing and is a student of his craft. If you need some serious healing in your body, Rhys is your guy!

You can read, research, and practice a skill as much as you want, but there are some people that are just born natural healers. Rhys is one of those people. Working with Rhys is not just about feeling better, its about overall functioning better. Coming from a chiropractor, I highly highly recommend working with Rhys to achieve all of your health goals!
