ABOUT

Welcome to OPTIMISE. I’m Robert, a fully insured Holistic Therapist with years of experience helping people relieve stress, pain, and discomfort.  Based in Oxfordshire and Central London, my unique bodywork system is designed to release deep-seated tension and rebalance the body for improved movement and long-lasting relief.

My passion for understanding the body’s potential began during my years as a competitive swimmer and Swim Coach. These formative experiences fueled my curiosity, leading me to explore strength, conditioning, and body mechanics.

Over the years, I have trained with exceptional mentors and refined powerful techniques that go beyond traditional therapy. I know first-hand how difficult it is to find a treatment that provides lasting results, which is why I’ve dedicated my career to developing a method that I would want to receive myself.

APPROACH

Bodywork

[ bod-ee-wurk ] noun

A holistic approach to therapeutic healing involving massage, breathwork, posture correction, joint mobilisation, and other techniques to enhance movement, reduce pain, and support the body’s natural healing process.

At Optimise Therapy, we go beyond traditional sports massage to deliver a truly transformative treatment that resets the entire body, not just isolated areas of discomfort.

From the very start of the session, my focus is entirely on identifying where your body is holding residual tension and determining the most effective techniques to release it. Unlike conventional sports massage, which often concentrates on localized muscle tightness, my approach considers the entire body as an interconnected system, ensuring that deep-seated tension is not just temporarily relieved, but fully eliminated.

 

What Is Residual Tension & Why Does It Matter?

Residual tension is the tightness and strain your body holds even when at rest—it’s the discomfort you feel when you press on a muscle that should be soft and pain-free. This type of tension isn’t just caused by physical exertion or injury; poor posture, repetitive movement patterns, emotional stress, and lifestyle habits all contribute. It’s often overlooked, yet it’s one of the biggest culprits behind chronic discomfort, fatigue, and movement restrictions.

By addressing residual tension across the entire body—not just the site of pain—our treatment offers lasting relief and restores natural movement, flexibility, and vitality.

 

A Powerful Fusion of Advanced Techniques

Our treatment is a unique hybrid of multiple highly effective deep tissue techniques drawn from:

  • Acupressure
  • Ayurvedic massage
  • Swedish & Thai massage
  • Shiatsu & Reflexology

By working along the body’s myofascial and meridian lines, I apply a blend of pressure techniques, stretching, breathwork, and joint mobilization, tailoring each session to your specific needs. No two bodies are the same—so no two treatments should ever be identical.

More Than Just Recovery—A Complete Body Reset

Sports massage often targets just one problem area, but we take a holistic approach. Pain and tension don’t exist in isolation—an issue in one part of the body often stems from an imbalance elsewhere. That’s why treating the whole body is far more effective than simply focusing on a single sore muscle.

 

Why This Treatment Is Far Superior to Sports Massage

✔ Targets the root cause, not just the symptoms
✔ Eliminates tension that standard massage techniques often miss
✔ Engages the nervous system to promote full-body healing
✔ Stimulates circulation & lymphatic drainage for faster recovery
✔ Boosts endorphin release to naturally reduce pain & stress

This treatment is not just about muscle relief—it’s about retraining the body to move freely, function better, and feel stronger.

If you’re looking for a deeper, more effective alternative to sports massage, this is it.

TESTIMONIALS

I've tried everything! I've had countless sessions with chiropractors, physios, and sports massage therapists, never-ending visits that gave me short-term improvements. I was becoming increasingly concerned that I'd be on pain relief tablets forever. Rob's unique approach made a permanent difference. I now just pop in as and when I feel the need.

Laura

Not only do I feel better, but I've also learnt so much about my body. This treatment was the only one that resolved my problems.

Joanna

I highly recommend Rob. My friend recommended him. I feel my performance has improved. Swim times are quicker. Now lifting heavier weights too. Thank-you

I recently experienced Rob's treatment, and it was phenomenal! I love the treatment and how it challenged every imbalance in my body. I walked out of my treatment feeling five years younger! I recommend Rob at Optimise.

I’ve had the pleasure of receiving treatment from Rob, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Luckily it was a friend of a friend who recommended Rob and his treatment to fix the body through your feet. So I thought ok, nothing ventured nothing gained. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for their patients truly set them apart. Rob takes the time to listen and thoroughly explain every step of the process, making you feel comfortable and confident in their care. Thanks to their tailored approach, I’ve experienced significant relief and improvement in my condition. If you’re looking for an osteopath I’d recommend Rob and your see for yourself. I still visit Rob once a month 🙂
