I've been going to Anika every month for over a year now and she is excellent at tailoring the session to what I need. Whether it's mobility and activation, working out knots and tension, or a relaxing swedish massage, I always leave feeling lighter!

I have been attending fortnightly sessions with Anika since the summer of 2024, when I was preparing for an operation on my knee. In the lead up and after the operation Anika’s work on my legs and body were instrumental in understanding my body better and aided my recovery immensely. We have since worked through all my legacy injuries and are now maintaining and improving my body, the difference it has made has been incredible. Anika has also been teaching me stretches, exercises and breathing techniques along the way. I thoroughly recommend Anika for massage therapy.

I am a veteran footballer and I had been suffering very frequent calf muscle injuries until I started massage therapy with Anika. Regular sports massage therapy from Anika has enabled me to continue playing football into my 70's. I thoroughly recommend Anika for massage therapy.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly rated therapist in my experience. Anika Ainslie has truly changed my life. Her sessions help my body reset, my mind relax, and allow me to perform and function at my best. I have complete trust in her and couldn’t recommend her more. I attend weekly sessions, and they have made an incredible difference to my performance, recovery, and overall wellbeing. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, particularly about muscle anatomy, and her approach is tailored, effective, and genuinely works for me. With my busy tennis schedule and regular strength & conditioning sessions, these treatments play a vital role in helping me perform at my highest level. Since starting regularly, my muscle spasms have reduced significantly, and I feel far more balanced, loose, and in control. The sessions allow my body to truly rest and reset. One of the most unique and powerful parts of our work together is the breathing exercises, which help me feel calm and relaxed. I now include them in my pre-bed routine, and they have greatly improved my sleep and overall recovery. I’ve also started implementing the breathing techniques on court, and the transition has been seamless. I feel calm, focused, and energized—it’s working terrifically. It’s a joy to see how something so simple can have such a positive impact on my performance. The energy and impact she brings to every session are incredible and infectious. She has the ability to bring out the very best in her clients, and she has done that for me—helping me achieve more than I ever thought possible. Many people compliment me on how I manage and perform, and I firmly believe that is thanks to these regular sessions. I feel better emotionally, physically, and mentally—all because of the support, care, and guidance I receive. Living with Cerebral Palsy can be challenging, but her guidance helps me manage my body and movement in a smarter, more effective way. She has played a key role in improving my tennis performance, reducing back issues, and allowing me to enjoy training and competition far more than I ever have before. The transition from treatment room to on-court performance has been seamless and highly rewarding. She is incredibly supportive and accommodating with scheduling, which is invaluable given my travel and training commitments. She always brings positivity, energy, and professionalism to every session. The clinic itself is calm, welcoming, and always feels like a space for care and recovery. Thank you so much. I truly value the work we do together and look forward to continuing long-term. Happy client, happy therapist—a winning combination. The best is yet to come. You won’t regret going to visit Anika Ainslie—it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and has genuinely improved my life.

I had had a very painful upper right arm for a few weeks. Anika gave me a deep treatment. Two days later my mobility had improved enormously.

★★★★★★★★★★Donald MayJan 2026

I recently visited Anika for help with severe neck & shoulder pain that had been bothering me for weeks. From the moment i arrived, the experiance was professional, welcoming and calming. Anika took time to understand my concerns and tailored the session to target the problam areas. I felt incredible relief after the session and was given helpful advice for preventing future issues. I highly recommend Anika to anyone dealing with muscle pain.
