Strive - Sports Massage & Therapy - Chester 5 Greenfield Lane, Hoole, Chester CH2 2PA

"I saw Reiss to help with a recurring hip injury. I found him to be friendly, encouraging and knowledgable. Over the course of three sessions I gained more insight into my flexibility, mobility, weak points and running gait than I would have done in years otherwise — and came away with greater knowledge and an actionable strength and mobility plan. Thoroughly recommend."

"After trying to solve an achilles injury myself for several months, I finally decided to try a physio. I'm so happy I decided on Reiss, he immediately got to work not only helping with the immediate pain through massage but then providing guidance on running, strength training and other areas of a return to running programme. After only a handful of sessions I'm back running and building up the mileage. Reiss is an absolute star, I can't recommend him highly enough."

"Reiss is an extremely knowledgable, personable and passionate sports therapist. It is a breath of fresh air going for treatment with him compared to a visit to the physio. I am an avid runner suffering from a reoccurring Achilles injury. After 2 years of physio and no improvement, I was desperate to find someone who could help. Reiss not only helped the problem with a brilliant course of sports massage (which has helped with my posture, flexibility and gym form too), but also created a mobility and strength programme to help prevent the injury from occurring again. Reiss, instead of telling you to stop running tackles the problem head on and looks into why the injury keeps occurring, he thoroughly assesses your flexibility and strength and advises on what changes you need to make to combat the muscular weakness and tightness. His knowledge and advice on training has been better than any physiotherapist I’ve seen. I go to Reiss every week and he won’t be getting rid of me anytime soon! I did my first 5k last week after months of no running, and we are aiming to get back racing again next year! Thanks for all your help Reiss!"

"Great treatment from Reiss, as usual AND to be expected. Like myself, Reiss, is a runner and knows exactly what we need to keep our legs, core and mind maintained so we can just focus on our runs more or less injury free. But let's be honest injuries still happen. Theres no magic pill or fix for that, sadly, BUT, its how you care and condition your body that keeps you in better shape to deal with them once they do occur. Cheers, Reiss. Highly recommended."

"Having used several sports therapists over quite a few years without much success really with one thing or another. I then contacted Reiss with a very annoying calf injury which after several attempts to treat kept returning to the point where I could no longer run properly, I started treatment with Reiss a few months ago. I was instantly made to feel welcome and not just another client, he is very professional and makes you feel at ease straight away, plus all safety measures were put in place during Covid restrictions. Reiss gave me several excercises to do at home and gradually everything seemed to be clicking into place and what he was doing made perfect sense as he took the time to explain each session and excercise he gave me and this gave me a slow gradual transition back into running without the pain. A bit of a challenge as I am nearly 60 and as you know muscles are a lot harder to heal as you get older! Thats my excuse anyway Dont look any further for any sports related treatment and advice Reiss is your guy."
