This is Hester, Your Trusted Therapist in Sport & Recovery
Hey Im Hester, I’m a BSc (Hons) Sports and Exercise Therapist and founder of Dakin Athletic Recovery & Therapy. I work with athletes and everyday people to relieve pain, prevent injury, and aid recovery. My treatments include sports massage, shockwave therapy, rehabilitation, and taping.
My goal is to help you feel stronger, healthier, and more confident in your body.
Your body deserves the best care
Feel Better, Live Stronger
Many injuries come from everyday habits like long drives or sitting at a desk. The right treatment can ease pain and restore confidence in your movement.
