“Easy to book and Vlad gave me a phone consultation a few days before to discuss my injuries and what I was looking for in a massage. On the day he was very professional and put me at ease straight away. He made me feel comfortable and he definitely knew what he was talking about as the massage, stretches and techniques worked a treat. My back and neck felt amazing afterwards and I’m still benefitting days later.”

Richard, Patient

“I came to Vlad with acute lower back pain, which had recently flared up and was making it difficult to concentrate at work. Vlad made me feel very comfortable with his professional manner and he was able to quickly target the problem. He was able to relieve the pain in the short term and recommend a series of exercises/stretches for me to practice at home, to prevent the symptoms from reoccurring.”

Nicola, Patient

“I injured my knee/leg having fallen heavily on it whilst playing football with my grandson. My doctor advised that it would probably take six months or more to heal. Never having had such treatment before I wasn’t sure what to expect. Vlad was very professional in gathering details of past problems and I had 3 sessions with Vlad and although he advised me he wouldn’t be able to give me a miracle cure, I can honestly say that my knee felt easier over the following days after each treatment.”

Trevor, Patient

“Vlad is an exceptionally professional, courteous and the most knowledgable sports masseur I have had look after me. He discussed my specific issues, located the source of the pain and very rapidly began to soothe it. He was so effective that even after the one session my back was no where near as tender. He talked through his movements, explaining how and why my aches were occurring and even gave me great advice to ensure I didn’t keep repeating the same strains!”
