Client Testimonials

Harry Osborne - Athlete

Soft tissue therapy is a brilliant treatment for everyone with muscle tension, muscles pain or restricted movement. Treatments can help athletes maintain performance and prevent injury. They can also help people suffering from a minor injury, chronic illness or long term pain. Soft tissue therapy can help manage symptoms and promote a speedy recovery. I would recommend Peter Mercer Soft Tissue Therapy without hesitation. As a competitive sprinter, my body is put under immense stress in training sessions and racing and has little time to rest and recover. Regular sports massage is a key element in maintaining my fitness. Prevention is so much better than cure. Peter makes me feel confident and comfortable and always listens to ensure that my treatment is tailored to my specific needs and aims.

Jo Foord - Runner, Cannicross

I’d never had a soft tissue massage before, thought it was a luxury thing, but… WOW, I cannot recommend it, and Peter Mercer highly enough. The PM Therapy studio is Hygienic, clean & fresh, absolutely no covid fears at all, Peter puts you at ease really quickly with his knowledge, assessment and recommendation of treatment. The treatment table is comfy and his use of body covering allays any fear you may have about having your ‘bits’ on show! After my first session I started feeling better, less pain, more movement, my initial issue was resolved after about 4 visits, a lot quicker than I thought it would take. There was no pressure to make any additional or follow up appointments, more recently I had a leg injury, which with Peter’s advice and massage treatment only 2 visits, and was resolved.
So if like me you thought soft tissue massage was for professional athletes and marathon runners, its not, don't sit and suffer in silence or wait on an ever growing NHS list, go talk to Peter, you wont be disappointed.

Dianne Lane - Runner

Peter is truly brilliant! I have visited twice now, and both times equally brilliant. My latest visit was after a 10k and he was fantastic! I hobbled in and after my treatment was fully functioning the next day and ready for another run. I highly recommend Peter

Ricky Powell - Injury Rehab

I can highly recommend Peter. He is very knowledgeable and conscientious whilst also being really friendly and down-to-earth. He was very thorough in assessing my injury and clearly explained to me what might be causing the pain. He also gave me some great advice on how to treat the injury myself at home in between sessions. The massage itself was relaxing (unlike many other sports massages I have had) and he continuously checked in with me throughout to make sure I was comfortable. I will definitely be seeing Peter again the future and recommending him to family and friends. Many thanks, Peter!

Ruth Townsend - Gardner

My first visit was brilliant, Pete really has helped me with just my first session. After my treatment on my neck I had a good night sleep, my neck muscles feel soft and not going into spasm. I had given up faith finding someone who could help! But Pete has certainly restored my faith, I will be looking forward to my next treatment.

Thanks Pete.

Alastair Crumpton - Tennis Player / Runner

Have been having weekly sessions with Pete the last couple of months.. mainly focusing on shoulder recovery that was a struggle from a broken collar bone back in “lockdown”. Safe to say it has helped plenty easing much of the issues I had. Also helping with the working through of tight legs coming from running and having flat feet issues. Very friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating, along with a nice new and clean practice to visit.

Lee Henderson - Business Owner

Jamie Budd - Tree Surgeon

As a tree surgeon of 22 years my bodies tired and movement in my upper body is limited. I’ve never had a massage before so wasn’t sure what to expect.

I was made to feel very welcome upon arrival, many questions were asked regarding my aches and pain and Peter started my session. Peter pin pointed a recurring shoulder/neck issue I’ve had for many years and can say it feels so much better.

I had Better range of movement once it had finished and now a week later I feel great and have a repeat session booked for next week.

I highly recommend peters services

Colin Barden - Runner

I visited Peter recently and was nervous as wasn’t sure what to expect as it was my first experience of visiting a therapist.
Peter put me at ease straight away and asked me questions to determine what treatment would be best for me. I am a regular runner so wanted to focus on my legs.
I would 100% recommend his services and will be going back again very soon.
He is knowledgeable and I came away feeling great

Finn Dunton - Cyclist

I cannot recommend Peter enough. I started working with Peter to help with my recovery as an athlete from my training. Peter is great in many ways. One of them is telling you what he’s doing, why he is doing this and how it is going to help your body, so you get a real understanding which is absolutely great. If you have any sort of pain, ache or something like that, I would certainly recommend Peter!
