WHAT PEOPLE SAY

R. Albutt - 2021

A very professional and friendly service. Judith has totally sorted out a knee problem I have had and has helped a great deal with my recent back injury. I highly recommend Active Life Balance.

Jon Newton  - 2022

Careful and thorough sports massage to alleviate a knee problem. Will be back.

E.Carn - 2021

Jude is a very conscientious, professional, and thorough practitioner. I have seen her a few times for help with an issue with my knee from running and she's made a huge difference each time. Her clinic is welcoming and clean and she's a really friendly and relaxing presence. I have recommended her to friends, and will be returning when I need more support myself.

S.Belllews - 2021

Very professional and knowledgeable. Judith Gives excellent customer service and has excellent diagnosis skills. Was able to help me with a couple of running related injuries and I now am having regular massages as they are so good. Would highly recommend 5 star service. I have had lots of massages o eat the years and Judith is by far the best.

Wayne Taylor - 2020

I have attended two sessions and was impressed by the care taken in both assessment and subsequent treatment. Judith has a firm, confident approach that uncovered some deep-seated muscular problems and provided long-lasting relief. She also provides good value for money with most of the hour spent hands on. I plan to return for monthly check ups to avoid becoming so contorted again!

Jenny Smith - 2019

Would definitely recommend. Had an hour long session with Judith and before we started she made sure she had an in-depth understanding of what I needed. During the sports massage she regularly checked in with me and was very thorough. Judith managed to find tight bits that I didn’t even know were there and I felt so much looser afterwards. 
If you are looking for a really good sports massage, definitely give Judith a try.

Adam Evans - 2018 

I've been to many different sports therapists before, having had an ongoing issue with my IT band, which gives me pain in my knee and lower back.
This time I chose to try active life balance. Judith is very
conscientious and methodical. She made sure I was comfortable with the level of pressure she was applying at all times and diligently worked on my injury from every angle.
These things take time to correct, but I definitely felt a big difference over the next few days. In the past she has also recommended exercises to help Strengthen my glutes and surrounding muscles. When I followed these instructions along with stretching and regular massage, I noticed a massive difference. I am confident to say that without this help and advice I would not have made it through my first marathon.

Karen Maguire - 2022

Jude has made such a difference  in only a few sessions. She makes you feel comfortable, works to your pain threshold and really cares and focusses on your needs. I would highly recommend.

Maureen Smith - 2022

Professional, caring, thorough, knowledgeable.
