Bolton: A therapist named Rick Howarth is shaking things up with his unique massage. He uses a metal bar and charges £90 for it. Sounds wild, right?
Some clients say it’s so painful they can’t handle it. In fact, about 12 people have walked out during sessions. Rick admits it can hurt, especially if you have problem areas.
He discovered this method after struggling with a shoulder injury. Traditional treatments didn’t work for him, and he was told he might never lift weights again.
After trying IASTM, he was amazed at the results. He could finally move his arm again and decided to learn the technique himself. Now, he’s sharing it with others.
Rick’s clients come from all over, even the UAE and France. He treats everyone, from kids to retirees, and even some celebrities. It’s a mixed bag of people looking for relief.
He’s had clients as young as nine and as old as 82. It’s clear that his approach is attracting attention, even if it’s a bit unconventional.
People travel from all over the UK to see him. Whether you’re an athlete or just someone with mobility issues, Rick’s got you covered.
