Thank you so much Lily, for your treatment to my lower back. I have been suffering from excruciating pain in my lower back for about 5 weeks and although your therapy was painful at times, it certainly was very effective and for this I am truly grateful to you since I am now pain free after 3 sessions’ injury treatment!
I suffered recurring muscle tears to my left calf over a period of a year, a problem that kept me off work for 5 weeks on the first occasion, 3 weeks on the second, and that prevented me from participating in any sports. I went to Lily at Direct-D-Stress; she immediately located the source of the problem, and set to work on eradicating it.
Through a combination of 4 sessions with her, and following her advice in-between times on exercise and self-treatment, I was able to make a rapid recovery and get back to light training in preparation for more rigorous sports within only 2 weeks.
After a 14 mile road race left me with intense back pain, Lily got me going again for a 45 mile hill challenge 6 days later with only 2 sport massage treatments. She helped me fulfil my dream. Thank you, Lily!
I dislocated a vertebra following a particularly bad tackle playing rugby. I went to see various sports physiotherapists over the next 8 months and although they had relocated the vertebra, the muscles around the injury had been in spasm for such a long time that I had been left in constant pain. The physiotherapists did what they could to alleviate this but I was unable to lift my own body to even get out of bed without feeling a sharp pain down my back. The physiotherapists said that this was something I would have to learn to live with.
My brother put me in touch with Lily and I have to admit, I was cynical. I had three one-hour sessions with Lily over three days which left me completely pain free. For the first time in 8 months I was able to do sit-ups and get out of bed without any pain. I honestly thought that I would never be able to play rugby again but, thanks to Lily, I have started training and I am looking forward to the new season. Thanks Lily!
After a very frustrating and painful season with hamstring problems I went to see Lily. She quickly found the root of the problem and after just a week of treatments had me running again. The improvement to my hamstrings has been great and I’m now looking forward to a new season with new legs!
Lily is professional, friendly, and an expert in what she does. I came to her with several side effects of stress – constant ringing in the ears (Tinnitus)! I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t concentrate on any study or work. I was exhausted and had series of headaches every week… had visited GP a few times and been referred to hearing test, but my hearing was totally fine. I was very depressed as there seemed no solution from anywhere while I was suffering everyday. I visited Direct D-Stress for relaxation but surprisingly, lily listened to my story patiently and arranged a course of treatment sessions for me straight away. After only a few sessions with her TuiNa acupressure massages, I found a massive improvement – some days I don’t notice anything at all in my ears! Thanks so much Lily! I would definitely recommend her for stress-relief and any other physical complaints.
I was born with Spina Bifida, which has resulted in various problems from muscular to skeletal and with the numerous associated mobility pains. I visited Lily for an appointment and I can only say that I came away feeling absolutely incredible. This young lady’s professionalism and care from the moment I entered her consulting room was outstanding. Lily’s depth of knowledge, care and understanding are to the very highest standards ever. Lily’s treatment from the very beginning started to make me feel so much better, and by the end of my first treatment I can genuinely say I felt that like I had never had any problems at all!
I have found Lily’s sports massage invaluable whilst training for a marathon. It helped keep me injury-free and run a good race. I believe that my good performance on the day was a result of both the training and Lily! After the marathon, I was back out running within a couple of days and my legs felt great. Lily’s sports massage and her advice has definitely helped keep me injury free. I highly recommend her Direct D-Stress!
Lily has made my experience very relaxing and very effective. As I was preparing to run the London Marathon 2012, she really prepared my body (especially the state of my calfs and ham-strings) for the gruelling 26.2 mile run. If it weren’t for Lily, I don’t think I would have completed the course as comfortably as I did without the attention made to my legs and back. She talks to you as though you have known each other for ages and I will definitely go back when I am preparing for another big race. Thank you Lily!! Keep up the good work.
Thanks again for your wonderful donation, it really helps my charity thrive for the future with these young people!
I hadn’t been able to run because of injury for a year and Lily got me back racing after only a week or so. I love running and so I have so much to thank her for.
