“A success story” To strain your lower back whilst putting on crampons for a days snow climbing in the winter wonderland of Nethermost Cove in the Lake District proved a severe set back to preparations for a looked forward to trip to Nepal and the Everest region. By the time I got home from the Lakes, my back had locked out and I was in considerable pain.  This was further aggravated the following day during a long day in Liverpool and an icebound M62 bottleneck. Help was needed to get me mobile again.  A call to Guardian Angel Fitness was made to see if they could assist.  Villy suggested 3 sessions of remedial massage.  With an immediate improvement after the 1st visit, allowing me to again “walk tall” and even cycle to the second appointment for further improvement to allow my running club’s sessions to re-commence and even to a 25mile long distance walking even over Blubber houses Moor! The 3rd hour of massage was sorely needed as a general tonic as I had regained full movement and could exercise at will again. The next job is to pack my bags and get off to Nepal. Thank-you Villy, you worked wonders for me.

My back problems started in early April. The doctor informed me that I was suffering a muscle spasm and to take the pain killers. As there was no improvement I decided to pay to see a chiropractor. This gave me no pain relief at all. A friend advised that I try a sports massage with Villy. I booked an appointment and went in without much hope. However after the massage I realised that for the first time since my back problem things had improved. I visited Villy over the next few weeks and her expertise returned me to full fitness. Many thanks.

My back and right shoulder were in so much pain it hurt to even breathe in. I was having to take small tiny breaths because the pain was so bad. One visit to Villy and she had me sorted! The horrible pain was gone and I could breathe normally again! Now I have regular massages with Villy which helps to release tension and tightness in my muscles- I always feel great afterwards and the benefits are endless. I always feel in very safe hands with Villy and I would recommend her to everybody.

I have been at my wits end for the last 8 months with pain emanating from an impinged disc at L5. I began seeing Villy 5 weeks ago on recommendation of a friend who saw me daily and witnessed the daily struggles I had doing simple tasks like walking, carrying things, standing up….things that I had taken for granted but had become so difficult for me because of the discomfort I was in. I could not stand straight, could not straighten my left leg, could not walk more than a couple of yards without having to stop and sit down, could not sit comfortably…and so on. I could not get relief. Initially, I was in so much pain that the sessions with Villy were challenging for me, but Villy was very understanding and ensured that I was comfortable at all times. If something hurt, she would stop or help me move position to alleviate the pain. She also recommended things for me to try at home such as warm baths with Magnesium flakes, a magnetic belt to reduce pressure on my discs and gentle stretches and exercises…all of which I do and work! I would like to take this opportunity to thank Villy and would definitely recommend her massage therapy, her knowledge and skill are exceptional – I am now walking straight and virtually pain free so am much more mobile and able to enjoy my life. I am now looking forward to exercising and getting fit again.
