Chris is a true professional in every sense of the word. I had never had a massage before going to Chris and now I am... full of praise for the benefits of Chris’ approach, expertise and general well-being knowledge. His massages complemented my physiotherapy and I learned about other things such as posture too, which has been of much use. I highly recommend Chris to anyone for specific requirements or general needs.read more

Chris has been absolutely fantastic in helping me with the mulitple physical demands of being a drummer in a touring... live band. He helps keep me on top of my game. Chris is unquestionably the expert in soft tissue repair and maintenance, but also he always has advice, exercises, and he explains routines to keep you going on your own away from the sessions. So a very valuable, and highly recommended service!read more

Chris is my go to for soft-tissue treatment and my wife swears by him!I have a historical sports injury to my back... and Chris's knowledge and expertise have been an absolute God-Sent.Courteous and seriously knowledgeable, Chris is both patient and professional. Somehow he manages to explain the most complicated of injuries in very straightforward terms.It makes a real difference to understand what the issue is & why that particular solution will work.One of the outstanding qualities he has is a desire, essentially, not to have to treat you again having solved the problem and sent you happily on your way to a pain-free future!read more

Chris is an amazing soft tissue specialist, he listens, he works the areas that are needed. As a sports massage... therapist myself he knows what to do and targets the area wonderfully. I have had a few issues in the past so he does know what to do. Highly recommend Chris, and his personable manner makes you feel at ease.read more

Chris has been fantastic at diagnosing & treating several different running injuries for me. He always explains clearly... what the problem is & gives exercises etc to do yourself afterwards. Even if your treatment requires less than the hour will offer other interventions to make up the time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris or to use him again for future issues.read more

Chris is a fantastic soft tissue therapist and a great guy too. He really knows his stuff but what is most impressive... is that he is very realistic about what can and can’t be achieved. Having said that, he keeps you motivated throughout an injury and has a very positive approach. Perfect balance really. Highly recommended him. He is also very reasonably priced.read more

Went to see Chris after having some lower leg pain from running. He not only did stretching and soft tissue work but... also analysed my balance and stance to get to the root of the problem, and gave me exercises to do that would help keep it under control. The follow up exercise sheets he provides are also a really great addition to the in-person treatment.Chris was really welcoming and friendly, whilst maintaining professionalism, and I felt very comfortable throughout.I would definitely recommend Chris and will be returning in the future.read more

Chris was absolutely incredible, his advice has changed my life and I’ve taken multiple steps to correct my posture... post-session. Without Chris, the pain was absolutely unbearable and I would’ve carried on making my back worse but my life has been transformed. Cannot recommend enough.read more
