received.

"Apart from being a bit stupid, running 200K non stop across the Sahara
deserts takes its toll on the body and in order to keep repeating this little
scenario of self destruction, you need great support.
Monika has prepared and repaired me for 3 Desert runs including the Marathon
des Sables and the more gruelling Libyan Challenge. Her manipulation and massage of my muscles and other soft tissue has enabled me to recover quicker and
reduce the impact of these events on my body whilst I am out there.
I have had several physiotherapists in the past, but Monika is by far the
best. Her knowledge of the subject and her ability to locate the root of the
injury has directly enabled me to increase the amount of training; the result
of which has meant that I can do more events. She has helped me recover from
martial arts injuries as well; her knowledge of sports injuries is truly impressive."
Steve Partridge
Steve has completed more than 2000 kilometres across the Sahara including
4 Marathon des Sables and has completed over 140 Marathons across the world.
He was the first runner in the UK to complete the Boa Vista run and is currently

" I first visited Monika as I had been suffering for some time with upper back pain. Monika quickly found the problem area and went to work massaging the affected tissue gradually getting deeper, but at all times checking with me that the pressure was okay. After easing the discomfort Monika worked on the areas that she felt had caused the problem, such as my calf muscles which at first suprised me, but I soon came to realise that Monika's judgement was right. Whilst working, Monika always kept me informed on what she was doing including how and where all the muscles link -an area which she is very knowledgable. Monika also gave me advice on how I could prevent injuries occuring again and putting these into practice has certainly improved my wellbeing. If you are in need of a Sports Massage Practitioner I highly recommend Monika Bendall " -

"I was already visiting a physiotherapist when I first got an appointment
with Monika. I found her to be more knowledgeable about my problem and she
quickly sorted out the immediate issue (leg pain resulting from repetitive
running around the track). After a couple of sessions of deep tissue massage and muscle stretching techniques, my leg no longer bothered me. I stil use
her method of stretching and the problem has not returned. She listened to
what I wanted to achieve and started to help me with a long term back problem.
As an athlete who wanted to continue training through the problem, I found
her approach to be effective and tailored. I always left the sessions feeling
positive."

"When I first got in touch with Monika, I was in an incredible amount
of back pain - my neck, shoulders and upper back had completely frozen, and
I was having difficulty moving. My first session with Monika was a full hour's
emergency massage and I was amazed at the difference I immediately felt. The
pain had substantially lessened and I was finally able to turn my upper torso
and neck. With twice weekly half hour sessions my neck, shoulder and back
pain got better and better. In less than six months I was seeing Monika once
every 4 weeks or so, just to have a half an hour maintenance massage! As I
store my stress in my neck and shoulders, I'm aware I'm prone to knots, but
Monika has made and continues to make an enormous difference. I can't recommend
her highly enough."
