Testimonials
It is always helpful to learn what other people think of the treatments they receive. Here is a selection of the comments clients of Calm Connections have written.
“I found Julie's service absolutely fantastic! I was running the Bath Half Marathon and with 2 weeks to go I pulled my calf and was practically unable to run because of the pain. I had more or less faced up to the fact that I would have to pull out of the race which I didn't like at all! Anyway, someone put me in touch with Julie and suggested that I have a sports massage. So, with nothing to lose I went along; the results were magical! After two sessions my calf felt so much better and from not being able to run at all, I was able to take part in the race and finish with a great time! The service was friendly, helpful and really effective, I'd recommend Julie to anyone and "touch wood" I stay injury free but if I have any other problems then I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Julie. Thanks Julie! “

“Being a very sporty family – Husband Ken (Tennis), Son Alastair (Football), and myself (Squash) we have all benefited from your magic hands. They say “No Pain – No Gain” so we have endured pain then relief. You have unknotted us and made us feel able to continue with our respective sports. Sorted out our backs, shoulders, ankles, calf strains and muscle pains. We would and have recommended you to all our friends. Keep up the good work!!”

“The treatment that I received from Julie at Calm Connections was excellent and I definitely felt the benefits from the full-body sports massage. Getting ready to run a marathon is a long process and having my muscles ready to go was a great first step to success.”
James Fleck, future participant of the 2011 London Marathon.
“I have a rather stressful life and since being introduced to Julie I highly value the back and sports massage Julies specifically tailors to my needs. These sessions have proved to be of great assistance and benefit to me personally."
Joan Butcher
"After my first appointment, I felt more relaxed than I had for such a long time. It was just what I needed, fantastic."
Jon Bonney
“I came to Julie after regularly going to an osteopath who had been able to put my back in place after putting it out in the garden. I am fifty ish (what women admits to her true age) and now regularly (about once a month) go to Julie who manages to keep my back nice and supple - takes out the tightness and generally overhauls me. This had made a great deal of difference to me being mobile and I now can even keep my husband company when he goes around the golf course.”
Helen Hawkins
"Trapped sciatic nerve....ouch, very painful. I hobbled into Julie's studio and after one session of massage was able to walk out. I have also had treatment for plantar fasciitis and shoulder problems and experienced relief from both.
Julie is a very professional, knowledgeable therapist, works in a quiet, comfortable setting and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her."
Ann Johnstone
“I started treatment with Julie in December 2010 for shoulder and neck stiffness and tension headaches and from the first appointment I noticed considerable improvement with increased freedom of movement and reduced discomfort. I have continued to see Julie regularly, although there has never been any pressure to do so. Not only does Julie treat your 'hot spots' but she gives good advice and guidance on exercises you can do at home to continue to sustain improvement and this advice is given in such a way that I actually do the exercises and feel the benefits! I enjoy my sessions, Julie's practice is professional, very easy to deal with and I'm pleased to have found that locally".

As a cyclist I've been seeing Julie for massages for a couple of years now. She has helped to get me ready for some major events and also to recover after some hard races. Thanks to the massages I am able to train and race harder.”
Sam Sturgeon
I've been receiving treatment with Julie at Calm Connections for past six months for a severe muscular problem in my back. Her treatment has been a combination of thorough investigation with regard to the root of the pain, coupled with stretches and sports massage. Her style, approach and treatment has been constantly delivered in a caring kind and gentle way appreciative of how this kind of pain can impact your life. Calm Connections is the type of clinic where one is made to feel comfortable on arrival and never treated just a number arriving for treatment. Julie is a wonderful therapist who I can recommend highly and indeed do !!”

“I first visited Calm Connections last year after a recommendation from a fellow tennis player. I was suffering from back and shoulder problems brought on by many years of competitive Tennis. Over the years I have tried a number of Physio’s and Sports Injury Specialists but none were as successful. Thanks to Calm Connections I’m now playing again regularly. Thanks Julie.”
