Orchard Sports Massage Reviews 

Sorting the Sciatic Nerve Problem. Excellent introduction with thorough establishing of relevant history and identification of the general condition leading to the current specific problem; muscle imbalance and tension causing left sciatic nerve pain.

Great interpersonal skills making the session comfortable ….despite the likelihood of pain throughout the treatment.

I visited Anca recently for a pregnancy massage having experienced bad back and hip aches. She explained everything thoroughly and made me feel so comfortable. After the massage, she provided me with certain exercises and advise which has been so helpful when noticing a flare up. I would highly recommend Anca.

Really great session with Anca. Far more than a simple sports massage, she was able to give a full body overview to assess areas of concern and not just address any problems but let me know why the problem was occurring. She was very knowledgeable and provided useful follow up exercises to help between sessions. I will definitely return for a follow up.

Anca seemed to be very knowledgable and although this was my first appointment, I felt I trusted her. Definitely felt more relaxed afterwards. She also advised on exercises to strengthen muscles and used acupuncture as well as massage. Will be making another appointment.

I was recommended seeing Anca by a friend and it's probably the best recommendation I've had! Anca was brilliant - she was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. She quickly diagnosed some issues I was experiencing just from the way I was standing. She continued to check in with me during the session to ensure that I was okay and provided some follow up exercises to help with some of my issues.

I was advised by my PT to get a Sports Massage Therapist onboard, to help with flexibility and strength of leg muscles, related to football. Anca was brilliant, the immediate consultation was useful and helpful to diagnose existing muscular issues. The therapy itself was 1 hour and has definitely helped with my mobility - even after just 1 session. Highly recommend and look forward to my next follow up.

Anca listened carefully to my injury issues and provided a comprehensive solution including stretches, rather than just a massage. I strongly recommend her approach.

Anca is professional and knowledgeable but also warm and friendly. She puts you at ease straight away and gives good advice as well as brilliant sports massage.

Superb: knowledgeable and thorough therapist. Looks at the whole person- not just the injury

Really productive sessions with Anca that are helping in the recovery of my injuries. Anca's explanation of the diagnosis and treatment was both clear and concise that ensured that I understood the method of treatment and the on-going programme.

I was very impressed with the improvement in my neck movement in such a short time. Anca took every effort to explain everything to me so that I fully understood all of the procedures and the exercises I need to do to ease my mobility overall.

Anca was excellent. So friendly and knowledgeable. She took time to listen to my problems and you could see she knew how to address them there and then. When I had the therapy she knew exactly where the underlying issues were and sorted them. My back was stiff and had seized up. I could barely bend over and touch my toes. After treatment, the following morning I could bend over and get the palms of my hands on the floor! She has also given me a programme for stretches to do. To be honest I couldn’t have wished for any more. Totally satisfied and would highly recommend to everyone.

Anca was the first therapist to actually give me a massage that felt like it really helped without leaving me sore and uncomfortable. I definitely felt more fluid after I left and would 100% go back.
Also added care with extra help and advice.

Really good value and an excellent experience 😊

Very professional and knowledgeable. Attended due to sciatic pain. Great hassle free experience that gets to the root of your problems fast.

Anca is friendly, fun and very professional. She really knows her stuff and the has an air of knowledge about her, meaning you trust her instantly! I will highly recommend Anca going forward and definitely be back.

My first visit to Anca and my first massage in nearly 2 years. Wow, don't hesitate to visit. Anca spent considerable time with me going through my history of sporting injuries and outlining where she will focus her efforts. Anca's knowledge of anatomy shone through and she was very meticulous at working in my problem areas whilst also explaining what she was doing and why, and I certainly feel much better after what felt like the fastest hour of my life! I very much look forward to visiting again soon.

Anca was fantastic.
She made me feel very welcome, got me settled in and then took a really good history about my issue.
She listened very attentively and did a good examination and explained everything she was doing.

The therapy itself was very good, I had almost no pain and felt both relaxed and better for my issue after.

She was very thorough and also gave me some helpful exercises to do in the future.

I would recommend her very very highly if you are having any joint/muscle/sports injuries!

I’ve suffered with lower back pain, tight hips and hamstrings following an injury for the last (nearly) 2 years. I’ve had copious amounts of physio, but nothing has seemed to loosen or help. Within my first session Anca pinpointed the areas of concern and tightness and really worked to loosen me up - the most effective anyone has been in the last 2 years. Not only that, she explained everything throughout to inform and reassure me. She then followed up the session with an email giving exercises to try to help mobilisation. I feel encouraged after only the first session and can’t wait to go back for more.

This was my first booking with Anca.The booking process was easy. The treatment was handled by Anca sensitively and with good humour. I felt that my needs were carefully noted and responded to appropriate treatment. Anca made sure that I understood the exercises given before I left and sent an email with a link to clear videos showing what I needed to do. I've booked for a second visit.

Well what can I say but Anca was my last hope. I have had a very bad back for the past three months and no one seemed to be able to help. From start to finish Anca took the time to explain everything she was doing and why she was doing it and made me feel at ease. Without me telling her she found the areas that were causing me trouble and instantly started to address them. This was my first appointment with her and it certainly won’t be the last.
