Having fallen off my bike too many times, the Optimal Sports Therapy Centre has done a fantastic job in fixing my back, knee and tennis elbow from various sporting injuries. Seb has a talent for finding every little knot and tight piece of tissue and massaging away the aches and pain.I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a first class Physical Sports Therapist.

Optimal Sports Therapy has helped me in many ways. I'm a GB Duathlete and a regular runner with my club BMHAC. I've had my share of injuries ranging from hamstring issues, tight glutes, calves and Seb has been fantastic in getting me sorted and back out there competing again. Seb has also helped me a great deal with my shoulders. I've had 3 operations on both the left and right. Seb is very knowledgeable and thoroughly explains what he is going to do and what exercise I need to do between appointments. I trust his expertise.

Seb was introduced to me by my work colleagues, to have deep tissue therapy on my shoulders. I have had problems with my shoulders for many years, since having therapy with Seb, my shoulders have not felt so loose and flexible. I can highly recommend Seb. Should I need further therapy, I know exactly where I’ll be going. Thanks Seb!!

I’d spent many years visiting Osteopaths and Chiropractors to be cracked and crunched when all I really needed was a good old fashioned stretch and sports massage! Seb was recommended to me by a few people from my badminton club and I’ve never looked back.

I was recommended to him by my daughter. I had visited the doctor for a routine check-up . I was overweight, had high blood pressure, etc. I decided to take dramatic action to get fit and signed up for a full IRONMAN triathlon at the age of 57. (That’s a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile marathon). This involved a strict regime of daily training for 11 months. Part of this regime was to visit Seb Challen, at the Optimal Sports Therapy Centre, for various treatments, some preventative and some to help with niggles picked up in training. I am sure that I could have never completed this challenge without the help of Seb. I have since completed another three IRONMAN races, including 2 in 2 weeks, all at under the careful management of Seb at Optimal. Thanks Seb!!

My wife and I were introduced to Seb and his amazing fingers through the Ideal Spine Centre in Blean. Weekly deep tissue massages were an essential part of our regular chiropractic adjustments. By relaxing the muscles surrounding the spine it enabled the practitioner to more effectively carry out these adjustments. The proof of Seb’s skills is in the dramatic improvement in both my and my wife’s physical abilities. She no longer has debilitating headaches and I have staved off a potential second hip replacement. That is the professional side of Seb’s abilities but there are also his people skills. His ability to immediately ‘get on’ with people to relax them and relate to each and every person that he treats showing an interest in their day to day activities and commending them on their progress though their treatment. Marilyn and I will miss our weekly sessions with Seb and wish him the success he deserves in his new venture.
