"My Sports Massage treatment each week with Tace Allen is an integral part of my big match preparation."

Chris White - Rugby Footbal Union and International Rugby Board Referee.

"Tace, just a few lines to thank you so much for putting our joints and mucles back in working order again!

Your massage treatment and exercise programme has succeeded where anti-inflammatory drugs and acupuncture have failed.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you and found your service to be friendly, highly professional and very effective..thankyou!"

Andy and Rose Burrows, Cheltenham.

"As a bike racer I like everything to be at the highest level to help me perform at my best, be it the bike, myself or the great team of people I have around myself!

The bike is the best it can be so I have to be sure that I am, mentally and physically, which is why I use Tace all season!

Her great knowledge and ability is what gives me the confidence and help to rehab my body quickly in preparation for the next race which is never long away.

Thanks for keeping me out on track!"

Simon Andrews

"I am a combat athlete. I train on average 2 hours every day in Filipino Martial Arts, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jui Jitsu, Boxing, Olympic Freestyle Wrestling and Greco Roman Wrestling. I am currently the British Stick Fighting Champion, and compete in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts also known as Cage Fighting) in which I am currently unbeaten.

Many Martial Artists only compete in one area, so fighting at such a high level, in so many different disciplines is rare. I put my body through hell on a daily basis. We train full contact, so I am forever being hit with sticks, punched, kicked and thrown around. I am always picking up painful injuries which would normally stop me from training. However, if I cant train, I cant fight. My body needs to be in the best condition it can be. Without Tace I simply couldn't do this. She has become an integral part of my pre fight preparation. I have regular sessions with Tace to work out the sore and bashed muscles. Often I hobble in at the end of a week, barely able to move and within an hour, I am ready to train again.

Whenever I step into the cage, ring or onto the mats, I have many people to thank for getting me there. Tace is one of those people, so thank you Tace for keeping me in one piece and ready to fight!"

Graham Edwards

"At the last IFCS World Agility Championships, in Holland in 2006, I have been working closely with Tace Allen, Dip.PT, Dip AAF, IIST, SMA, a Canine Sports Massage Therapist, who qualified from ICAT. It really is fair to say that without Tace’s expert attention to most of the GB dogs and some of their handlers, the final results for the British Team would never have been the same. Tace combined professional advice with effective treatment, both for dogs and their handlers. I hope that Tace will be present on future WAC trips."

Pete van Dongen, Drs.(Utrecht), Cert.V.R., M.R.C.V.S., Veterinary Surgeon

"Thank you so much for coming along to talk to the members of Phoenix. It certainly opened our eyes to the problems our dogs face whilst trying to do their very best for us and they deserve our very best efforts to keep them fit and healthy. Since your visit it's been great to see dogs receiving their massage routines before training and competing and I have no doubt that the improved results throughout the Club are in no small part due to the routines that have been adopted. Thanks again."

Sharron Taylor on behalf of Phoenix Agility Club (South West)

"Tace is professional, calm and competent in her role to educate dog owners. She is happy, relaxed and knowledgeable in teaching others about dog massage and its importance for working dogs. She is obviously keen to show others how to help themselves and their dogs on a campaign to increase the numbers of fit healthy dogs painlessly enjoying their chosen sports for years to come.

I would, without reservation, recommend her skills to any dog owner who wants to learn to help their dog."

Bob Kempster and Abby

"As a follow up to your excellent evening with us at Phoenix earlier in the year I thought I would let you know of the consequence for one man and his dog.

As you may recall you spent a lot of time checking Abby out and helping me to stay motivated to keep helping her shed some more weight. I must admit I was beginning to get a bit despondent and even believed that she was getting old and slow clear rounds were the best I should expect of her.

Now, some months on, and still she is losing weight (only a small amount now), she is back to what she was a couple of years ago. On walks she runs those extra miles instead of faithfully walking next to me and is obviously so much happier in herself. Her agility has improved and instead of jumping a fence at a time to please me she is flying around courses again with me in her wake. She is, I think, better than she has ever been. In recent weeks we have had a 3rd in senior agility at Newbury a 2nd in grade 5 Jumping at south Devon and lots of clears in between.

Her return to form and general happiness is largely due to your help."
