“Playing in a big show for months on tour knocks you around a bit! Ray helped me get through an Edinburgh Winter, keeping injury at bay with his healing hands – he goes hard, but it is well worth it! Amazingly intuitive and therapeutic.

“I have benefited from the skills of Ray Head for some months now.He has been quick and accurate in identifying the root problem of the pain and loss of flexibility I have suffered.His treatment has been very effective and my mobility has greatly improved. The pain in my neck and shoulder and lower back has almost disappeared.He is a very personable and professional practioner,offering suggestions of suitable exercises to carry out at home to maintain the improvement he has achieved.
I have every confidence in Ray’s ability and would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody in need of this type of therapy.”

“I’m a competitive track cyclist at Scottish National Level.I’m approaching 40,which is considered your dotage in track cycling terms.My age entailed some serious challenges in terms of maintaining lean body mass and recovering from hard training sessions.
To assist in these challenges I consulted Ray Head at Head4Health. He undertook a complete assessment of my competition diet.He then analysed my nutrtional needs based on my workload and calorific requirements.The result was a set of simple,clear diet and hydration guidelines on what to eat and when.This helped me continue to get leaner without losing muscle or power,and without affecting my recovery.

I took weekly massages from Ray on the final day of each 6-day training block,prior to my rest day.He spotted some specific problems with how my leg joints aligned and worked to manage the situation by focussing on these problem areas and suggesting some stretches as well.

This helped me to both avoid injury during bouts of hard training (I did not have the usual knee and ankle aches that I used to get before I started using Ray) and to maximise my strength and power by keeping my muscles loose and relaxed.I also noticed dramatic improvements in my recovery and I felt better prepared to train harder in the next few days after my massage.

I achieved a fourth place in the East of Scotland championship and won a bronze medal in the Scottish Championship – I believe Ray’s assistance made a significant contribution to these results.”

“I have utilised Ray’s services as a massage therapist both personally and for my clients. For myself I have found great benefit for the relief of my chronic lumbopelvic and piriformis problem.
As a chiropractor I often recognise the need for my patients to recieve massage.All have found him to provide a friendly, professional service with a pleasant “tableside” manner. As a qualified personal trainer he has also been able to discuss exercise programmes and stretches that may benefit the patients problem.”

“….I’m the lady with the prolapsed disc and had two massages from you. I felt I had to email you to thank you! My back has not felt this good since November 07 when I slipped the disc.I have had a few massages in the last month from various people but none have given me the same results as you.If you were based closer to my home I would be having massages from you all the time!! If you are ever down this way please let me know, I could get you a block booking as all my friends would love a massage from you.I’m even tempted to fly to Edinburgh on the £1 flights!”
