City Marshall Massage

My favourite massage therapist in Cardiff. He’s very attentive to his clients personal needs, incorporated aromatherapy, makes himself available when I need a last minute appointment, and creates a restful and healing environment. Thank you City Marshall!

We are both absolutely delighted. Marshall has really been amazingly supportive throughout my pregnancy and taught us both better habits - eating and sleeping have improved drastically. We worked with Reflexology as well as Shiatsu massage therapy. My husband had sports massage and reflexology. Great for stress and anxiety as well as overall immune system. Can't praise Marshall enough. More...

I can't find praise high enough. Fantastic massage. Really hit the spot and the great release of muscle tension lasted for three full weeks, even after the first massage. Go there for pain relief and be prepared to learn from his advice. The therapist is very generous with his time and is very good with explaining in great detail (if you ask) what he is doing and why that is beneficial. Been going at least monthly and I feel great!

My sciatica flared up on me and can't walk properly. I decided to have a Reiki Massage as it was very beneficial last year.
Philip administered the massage, I feel calm, happy and almost centred.
It's amazing how I can feel warm gashed of blood flowing through veins of my sciatical right limb.
Thank you phil. More...

Magic ! I have had more holistic treatments than I can count. But this Philips shiatsu treatment blew my mind e away. I went in with a terrible back thinking it would take several treatments to just be able to get to the point I am at less than 24 hours after one shiatsu treatment with Philip. Thank you.

So happy that I read the reviews on here and made an appointment with Marshal way in advance. The treatment was a real eye-opener. He told me more about my own body and taught me so many obvious mistakes that I have been doing - that he was the highlight of my trip to Cardiff. Make no mistake. The massage is amazing - a real treat, which felt like a true master with bags of experience. But he also spent about 25 to 30 minutes analysing my poor posture, teaching me how to walk properly and even explained the importance of vitamin D. There are no words. Simply unmissable - go there, and you will be enlightened. More...

The best massage I every had for my lower back pain. Without a doubt, my lower back pain is now totally gone. From the first treatment, I already noticed much less back pain, and after the second massage the back pain was gone. I have been one full year now with no back pain at all. If you have any issues with back pain - this is the place! Changed my life in two massage sessions. More...

Fantastic treatment. Pin-pointed the exact amount of pressure and demonstrated superb knowledge. Found 2 or 3 areas in my scapula and shoulder, which I was totally unaware of, and I felt better for 3 to 4 weeks after. Proved to me that although the pain is in one area, the problem area can be totally different. Certainly worth the money More...

Although I have been very active up until a few years ago, I have always had poor knees and ankle pain. Probably due to my jogging and gym wark. At 68 I have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and put on a waiting list for replacement knees. After seeing Philip Marshal for three sessions, I have changed my work-out routine as well as my diet and have never felt better since my 40s!In fact, winter used to always be a real 'downer' for me, but over the last two months my energy levels have been fantastic. Despite persistent offers of an early pension, I have decided to carry on my regular work and have not taken any pain killers or other medication for weeks.I feel very fortunate to have such an accomplished practitioner so near to me, and have already recommended four of my friends to Marshal, with great results. Thanking you kindly! More...

It is difficult not to repeat the praise already given to Marshall by others. The chance visit to Marshall has changed my entire life, as well as that of my family. My 12 year-old daughter was present in the room with me, and she took almost all of what he said on-board. Which is a miracle in and of itself. Marshall speaks plain English and for a man with his obvious expertise, it is remarkable that he does not hide behind Latin phrases and elaborate clinical terminology. One simple thing that he said that resonated with my entire family is that “the human body has evolved over 3 million years, whereas conventional medicine has been here for less than 200 years. If you learn to work with your body and not against it – you will always win”. Marshall will teach you everything from correct posture to perfecting your nutrition and he does it in plain English. A true gem. More...

A massage at City Marshall was a reel treat. I didn’t know what to expect, as it was a birthday gift from my girlfriend. From the moment I stepped into the building I felt calm and at ease. The therapy room itself is gorgeous and very tranquil. Marshall spent at least twenty minutes advising me of the various treatments and possible benefits and gave me many tips about correct posture and nutrition. The deep tissue sports massage was amazing. Not like anything else I have ever experienced. You would be very wise to book ahead and be prepared to listen and learn. I can’t wait to go back! More...

I have booked a session with Phillip to help my body relax after intense exercise. All my expectations were not only met but also exceeded. Phillip also taught me about the relevance of magnesium and vitamin D for which I am grateful. He was very helpful and professional at every step.

The massage and Shiatsu capabilities of Philip are superb and his ability to combine sports science techniques with acupuncture, reflexology with myofascial release - are second to none. This, by no means, is a 'regular' massage. He first deeply scrutinises your health history and gives you a possibility to express your genuine concerns. He listens attentively and makes suggestions of possible courses of action. He will explain with great patience the different techniques and their possible benefit to you. Although he runs an extremely busy clinic, his consultations are never rushed and you are made to feel the centre of importance. Philip has helped me see the error of my ways and with a sharp eye and intuitive observations, corrected my posture with some great (and practical) tips. He showed me some easy to follow stretches that I now do religiously 3 or 4 times daily and had advised me about improving my nutrition and diet. He even gave me free cultivation kits to make my own kefir yoghurt and kombucha at home, which has made a huge difference for my digestive issues. All in all - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR - and in Philip's case, this is a real bargain More...

I have been having tui na (cupping ) treatment over 2 years for some old chronic/ stress related injuries that I accumulated. However when I moved to Cardiff, I did not know where I could continue my treatment. A friend suggested me to visit City Marshall.

Moreover, Philip ( the masseur) explained what was causing my injuries and what I could do at home to avoid the pain getting worse.

City Marshall is a central Cardiff massage clinic. They have free parking if you ask for a booking at their Charles Street clinic, which was especially convenient. Their house specialty is Thai Massage, as the chief therapist has lived and worked in Chaing Mai and Hong Kong for many years. It was wonderfully relaxing and the 2 hour Thai massage session was tailor made for my own requirements - with my personalised blend of aromatherapy oils and an addition of Hopi candles and a shiatsu facial. This was an amazingly relaxing routine that I intend to make a month ritual. Book fast! More...

Over the last seven years I have had huge amount of muscle tension and intense pain in most of my upper body and arms. The medical 'diagnosis' was fibromyalgia and all I was offered were anti-inflammatory medication and pain killers. I have seen countless physiotherapists and chiropractics therapists - most of them made little difference and some even made my pain worse! Marshall was the first therapist that seemed to understand my issues and had a much more holistic approach. He explained everything he did and why he was doing it. He made me aware of what I was doing wrong, and how I can benefit from changing my diet, have better nutrition, better posture and stretches. We went through some meditation and visualization techniques, as well as talked in detail about sleep hygiene - all of which help me with my sleep. I have now had six sessions with Marshall - combining soft tissue myofascia therapy with Shiatsu and reflexology. The difference is amazing. There has been at least 80% improvement - and I am sure that in 2 or 3 more sessions I will be able to carry on the rest of my life pain free. If you would have told me this 7 weeks ago, I would have thought you were mad. Marshall is a caring professional that genuinely understands and listens to you. More...

Had the specialised back pain massage at city marshall in central Cardiff. The combination of sports trigger point therapy and Philip's deep insight into acupressure was very effective. The muscle tension, even after the first massage, was much reduced. After the third massage treatment we added more elements of yoga stretches and worked on my ROM mobility. Extremely professional and also deeply reassuring. Philip certainly cares and adds aromatherapy blends as well as some elements of reflexology to the over all effect. My back pain is now much reduced and I am much calmer at work. Highly recommend this blend of therapy to anyone with lower back pain or lumbago.By the way - the new treatment room with the cosy fireplace is wonderfully luxurious.
