Ben Hawker - Sports Massage Therapist in Newark

MEET BEN HAWKER

Sports Massage Therapist in Newark-on-Trent

I've always been fascinated with the human body and anatomy, how muscles move and work and the whole structure of the body. After suffering a career ending injury whilst playing football, I decided to dedicate myself to becoming a Sports Massage Therapist (SMT) to help treat others.

This has helped me to still be involved in football as a sports therapist. I have worked for a number of clubs through the years : Newark Town FC, Loughborough Dynamo, Grantham Town Fc, and Basford United - Currently working for FVC International Academy

Being a professional woodworker since the last 23 years, I have been suffering from recurrent pathologies in my back, neck, shoulders, etc... And ended up to A&E several times.
Since Mr Hawk is caring about me, on a regular basis, I can carry on properly.
Cherry on the cake, Ben is an extraordinary human being, at the same very high standard than his professional skills.

I run a local bjj academy and my body works hard every day so I was more than overdue some tlc 😀 I had my first session with Ben today as a female I felt a bit nervous having a massage from a man but ben was very professional and I was soon relaxed. Following the massage I feel amazing. So much so I booked another 10 sessions . Really Happy 😃 Thank you Ben.

He has been professional and courtesy throughout my treatment and within just a few sessions my shoulder feels almost back to normal. I would thoroughly recommend Hawk Wellness and Sports therapy for treatment.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely brilliant experience every time I’ve been to see Ben.
Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere.
1st couple of sessions was sorting a back problem that I’ve been suffering with for months, Ben very quickly diagnosed the issues and after 2 sessions back feels so much better.
Later sessions have been working on tired and aching legs to get ready for a summer of cycling.
If you’re not sure on anything Ben will explain everything in as much detail as he can so you understand.
Would highly recommend 👍🏼.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went to see Ben after having pain in my back for a week, was my first time.  It was a great experience from beginning to end & beyond.  He msg me to say I could be seen earlier which suited me as I was booked in at 8.15pm.   Then he said to msg him when I arrived. No waiting, went straight in. I am a biggish older woman feeling self conscious, but I was put at ease immediately.

Excellant service, a great massage, my back was a knot of hard muscle.  He warned I might be sore next day, and I woke to a msg from him checking how I was feeling today.  That is 100% Care & Professionalism.   Will be back in a few days.  Thanks Ben 😃

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really knowledgeable and talked about ways to prevent injury and the muscular groups. Really helped my 15 year old son with a persistent back pain but also educated him on training correctly.  Only downside was trying to locate the place but maybe that was my fault 😅
