I really enjoy Sara's treatments, as she is so precise in releasing each of the muscles throughout my body.
She helped me a lot during my Olympic campaign and now I still turn to Sara to let her look after my body in my everyday life after retirement from my sporting career.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone who lives around the Southampton area.

I had a mastectomy 15 years ago that left me with a large scar on my back from reconstruction surgery. I had large numb areas around my shoulder blade and lower back, and movement problems.
After MSTR® treatment from Sara I now have a lot more movement and no numbness in my side. Now I can talk about what happened, having not realised that I was not dealing with my fears, and I can feel things on my back.
The MSTR® treatment has helped me in lots of ways.

Sara offers a friendly, comfortable, homely environment.
Her own interest and participation in sport helps her understand client needs and expectations.
Working from home allows her some flexibility in offering times to suit all clients. I have a busy work and private life schedule and I find I can juggle times to fit both Sara and I.
Sara's own life is around balancing family, work and her passion for sport and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. So she understands the pressures a busy life can pose and the frustrations of niggling injuries. Thus general chit chat is easy as we have common ground.
Always worthy of note is that there is free parking space outside!

I have used Sara’s service on a several occasions. I have found her to be flexible, highly competent, thoughtful and most importantly very skilful.
Following a minor accident, I suffered with back pain for several weeks. After one visit to Sara, the problem was resolved. I wish I had gone to her earlier, then I could have dispensed with pain relief and expensive heat pads much earlier!
I have no hesitation in recommending Sara and will definitely use her services again myself both for immediate relief of acute pain, but also for ongoing support and therapy.

This is not just a massage! Sara undertakes a full assessment, taking a history, observing and testing problem areas, before she decides on the best treatment techniques with your feedback.
I've had a niggling shoulder for a long time and it is so much better with Sara's help. She is calm and professional and has excellent massage skills. I always come away feeling relaxed and fixed!

I had pain in my neck and shoulder for three weeks, the doctor prescribed me some meds for pain relief but it had not gone on it’s own as they thought it would.
I have had one session with Sara so far and it has made the world of difference! No more pills and my neck feels normal again!
Amazing work finding those trigger points and really good exercises recommended to do at home when it begins to ache. Thank you so much!

I came to Sara with a number of niggly injuries three weeks before my first Ironman triathlon, and pretty much broken after the race.
Each time Sara listened to my issues, provided expert soft issue release to the damaged areas, and managed my expectations regarding recovery.
She is knowledgeable, skilled, sympathetic to an athlete’s needs and I would definitely use Sara again for injury prevention to hopefully minimise damage limitation issues emerging next season.

As a keen older sportswoman - playing volleyball, tennis and going for regular gym workouts. I had been experiencing both lower back pain and IT band problems, that had got so bad they were stopping me from participating in the sports that I loved to play.
I can honestly say that Sara was a godsend, she was very thorough in her diagnosis and examination and gave a comprehensive treatment to help alleviate the problem areas that I was experiencing over the course of several treatment sessions.
Sara was very good at explaining exactly where the problem lay and how she was going to treat it and what I would experience during the treatment. Her treatments for my problems consisted of a mix of massage and exercises that she took me through and gave me exercises/stretches to continue at home. Sara really helped to relieve the pain and allowed me to carry on playing the sport that I love.
Sara showed great proficiency and professionalism in her knowledge, assessment and treatment and I would whole heartedly recommend her for sports injuries & massage.

I have had several treatments from Sara Carr and would be very happy to recommend her to anyone with niggling problems or serious pain / injury.
Sara’s methods are extremely thorough and she locates and treats any problems very well.
The atmosphere is calm and relaxed and she always gives you her full attention, checking to make sure you are comfortable throughout.
I have also taken my daughter to see Sara too and would highly recommend her for children and young people. She puts them at ease and attends to all the parts of treatment that might make a young person feel self conscious.
Her prices are very competitive and once you have had an initial appointment you will definitely want to make sure you book in for maintenance sessions in order to keep your body fit and well.
Hilary
Over the last three years I have tried various different treatments for an injured shoulder with negligible results.
Therapy from Sara has improved my discomfort considerably and I would thoroughly recommend it.
Justin
I am a local Club Runner.
Sara's massages have greatly assisted my recovery from a number of post and pre-race niggles.
I would recommend her to anyone who partakes in sport as part of their recovery programme and to improve their general performance.
Rebecca
I went to see Sara with a really painful neck ache, which was getting me down.
This is a recurring problem, but unlike other times when I've just left it to sort itself out, the pain went away quite quickly afterwards.
As well as the physical recovery benefits, Sara's kindness made me cope better with the pain too. It meant I could get back to work and my family responsibilities quickly and be more efficient and cheerful.
Susanne
Sara treated me following a muscular injury that had left me in pain for 6 weeks.
She was very professional and knowledgeable and I felt a real improvement following the massage. I would definitely recommend her.
Patrycja
I have experienced the sport massage with Sara and I have found that she has a great physical knowledge.
The sessions have been extremely helpful with not only relieving pain in my knee but also with educating me on prevention and correct ways to take care of my knee.
Sara is a good listener, professional and will try to help you with the best care
Jo
I am very happy with Sara as my therapist. I find the environment she offers is welcoming and calm.
An intuitive practitioner, Sara treats the problem as is it presented but identifies areas of additional concern. She always discusses the treatment and is happy to advise as necessary.
John
Visits to the doctor, consultant and physiotherapist for shoulder pain and associated reduced movement produced little improvement. Reasons given best summarised as “age related deterioration” and “ possible rotator cuff problem”.
My visits to Sara for massage and related exercise advice have, over time, given me full movement of my shoulder joint and no pain.
Karen
Every inch of my legs were covered in the massage, along with my lower back.
Knots found and removed.
Very relaxed atmosphere created by the room and Sara, even when she found the trigger points.
Would recommend to anyone to Sara for a massage as I walked out feeling so much better. Thanks Sara
