Regular weekly sessions of Myofascial release at Cardiff Gait reduced my extreme tightness, pain and fatigue, whilst improving my mobility. Graham is a great massage therapist with a range of additional knowledge.

This was one of the best purchases I've ever made. Graham is unbelievably knowledgeable and the software he uses is fantastic. Within an hour he identified several areas of my running form and gait that were problematic and sent me on my way to improve them. Really can't recommend this enough, if you are a runner struggling with any sort of injury, this is the best use of your cash. Absolutely thrilled with the process and service.

Grahams knowledge and expertise is unbelievable and gave me so much insight into my running, I can't really put it into words. He was able to identify the cause of my knee problem and developed a S&C plan to get me going in the right direction. The summary and findings report I got back from Graham was everything and more, that we spoke about in the session. I don't usually write reviews... But I can't recommend Graham and the gait analysis, enough. It was certainly an experience! Thank you Graham!

Invaluable running gait analysis - finally allowing me to address the root cause of my running issues/injuries. Nothing I'd have been able to work out by myself. Graham is someone who understands running and is the first physiotherapist in my 4 years of various visits (to others) to actually provide solutions with a strength and conditioning programme and to provide real insights into my muscle imbalances. He's the only physio so far to provide an effective sports massage too.

I would highly recommend Graham. He is clearly extremely knowledgeable and well trained. The facilities were excellent and the price was very reasonable.

I've got a lot of tension in my back and neck and massages haven't really helped in the past, but Graham is really good at what he does and has already broken down a lot of the tension after 2 massages. He's also recommended exercises and stretches I can do to strengthen my muscles and stop it coming back. He's very knowledgeable and has given me some good advice, very impressed with his treatment!

Absolutely the best sports massage you could have. I travel all the way from South London for a session. Well worth it!!

Absolutely amazing, my neck has been in pain for a long time, and Graham sorted it right out, talked me trough the actions taken, and a friendly conversation, I could not have asked for a more professional person. A big thank you and I will be back again.๐Ÿ˜
