Personal Training and Sports Massage Chester

Feel like your body is starting to let you down… even though you’re still active?

You’re still out there — walking, running, cycling.

But the stiffness, injuries, and slower recovery are catching up.

What used to feel easy… now feels harder than it should.

You don’t want to slow down.

You just want your body to keep up with the life you still want to live.

You don’t need to stop — you just need a smarter way to keep going.

No pressure. No obligation. Just a conversation.

This isn’t just “getting older” — there’s a reason your body feels like this

You’re still active.

You’re still trying.

But your body isn’t responding the way it used to.

That’s not your fault — and it’s not something you fix by just doing more.

Your body has changed — YOUR TRAINING HASN'T

What worked in your 20s and 30s doesn’t work the same anymore.
Recovery is slower, stiffness builds up, and small issues don’t just disappear.

You're doing Enough — JUST NOT THE RIGHT THINGS

Staying active isn’t the problem.
But without the right strength and structure, your body starts to break down instead of build up.

You’re managing symptoms — NOT FIXING THE CAUSE

Stretching, resting, or pushing through only gives short-term relief.
If you don’t fix the root cause, the same problems keep coming back.

It’s not too late — TO TURN THIS AROUND

Your body can rebuild strength, move better, and feel capable again — when you train it the right way.

I thought my running days were over.

I could only run 5km — and would be in agony for days after.
I genuinely thought I’d never get back to proper running.

After working with Ian, I finally understood what my body needed.

Now I’m running 3 times a week — up to 7 miles — completely pain-free.

“Pain-free. Stronger. Back doing what they love.”

Lower back and foot pain gone in 4 weeks

After a race, I was dealing with constant back and foot pain.
It got so bad I couldn’t train or race properly anymore.

I’d tried everything — nothing fixed it long-term.

After following a simple plan, everything changed quickly.

4 weeks later, I completed my next race — with no pain.

Struggling to run to GB age group qualification

I had a pain to both of my glutes at the top of my hamstrings and it was getting to the point where I could hardly run. I had rested for a couple of weeks hopping it would go away. I was concerned that the pain was getting worse and it was going to stop me Running.

Ian assessed me and discovered that I was suffering from hamstring tendinopathy. With mixture of massage and strength and conditioning I was able to get back running. This season is my best to date, resulting in completing my first ultra marathon and qualifying to race for GB Age Group Triathlon.

I would recommend Optimum Health Coaching as they take a whole body approach and don’t just look at the one area. They look for long-term resolution so injuries don’t repeat.

Optimum Health Coaching can help you

Many runners and triathletes struggle with injury and recovery. I created the Optimum blueprint, a simple & easy to follow plan to help you get more from your body so you can perform better and remain injury free at any age.

My name is Ian, I've been into sport all my life. When I started running 20 years ago I was getting lots of niggly injuries that stopped me doing and enjoying the sport. Everyone I went to see focused on the injury itself and never looked at the cause. Through my own education I found that most injuries are caused by a problem elsewhere in the body, and it wasn't until I took a whole body approach that I able to train and compete fully without worrying about getting injured.
