Testimonials
“I was looking for a relatively gentle massage to help with pain and stiffness. David tailored my massage exactly to my specific needs. It was incredibly relaxing yet effective in getting into some sore muscles and loosening them up. David pays attention to detail and is both professional and personable in his approach. I would definitely recommend him and look forward to booking in with him again.”
Joanna Naylor, Little Horton
“I found David after using google and he was the first to respond stating clearly my options and offering me to contact him regarding times etc. Links were sent allowing me to find further information via his website. An appointment was booked and clear instructions on how to find him given. He is very thorough taking great care to establish exactly where and what the problem is. The treatment worked and an exercise plan for me to undertake was given. He also has been more than helpful since the initial consultation emailing to see how things are progressing and offering ongoing support. I truly believe he is genuinely interested in helping customers and definitely does not pressurise you to book lots of appointments. I can thoroughly recommend his services to anyone seeking a professional service in a clean and very well-presented environment.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Dave over a period of 15+ years as staff members belonging to the English Schools Football Association. This culminated with working together on the coaching staffs of the elite boys’ team (Under 18s) and elite girls’ team (Under 15s). Dave is one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated practitioners I have had the privilege of working alongside in my football career as coach and manager. His capital in the area of physical preparation and treatment of injury is second to none. He dedicates himself selflessly to the preparation of each player, going over and above the expectation on every occasion. His passion is always to support the individual to unlock their talent and potential, something that he does with great humility, sincerity, and overwhelming success. Dave would be a first pick on my coaching staff every time.”

“I am a Chartered Physiotherapist and former Therapist to the England Schoolboys’ Under 15 International Team (E.S.F.A.). I have known Dave Burns for over 22 years. I was instantly impressed by Dave’s personality, character, knowledge, professionalism and the care he took of the players he was treating. As a Therapist, he has achieved high level qualifications, worked at an elite level, has proved himself to be a therapist of note winning the respect and thanks of everyone he was worked with or cared for. He also has a very dry sense of humour which makes him very easy to work with and popular with colleagues and players alike.”

“We highly recommend David. Not only does he have Exceedingly good knowledge about the body but has given us the most effective treatment we’ve ever experience. My fiancé and I have visited a few therapists but have never experienced long term help until now. 5* treatment 100% recommended.”

Liz Farndon
“I have taken a few deep tissue massage sessions from David for my neck, shoulder and arm condition. David has a very good understanding of the individual muscles that need to be targeted. He explains clearly what he is going to do so that makes it easy for me to know what is expected of me on a particular therapy. I am very pleased with the progress I have made in gaining strength in my upper body, which has enabled me to continue to build up my strength in the gym. His practice is very clean and tidy. I will have no hesitation in recommending David Burns Soft Tissue Therapy.”
