Had a deep tissue massage with Joel today and feel so much better . He has magic fingers that get to all the knots & releases any tensions .

Brilliant massage by Joel...as always. Joel is really friendly and a lovely chap. You will not get better. Has been the saviour for me and has over time helped me come off the medication for my back issues and became pain free. Highly recommended.

Joel has a professional, friendly approach. He uses his extensive knowledge and training to relieve tension and pressure in my shoulders and has a holistic approach giving me exercises to help prevent tension building up again. I would definitely recommend him.

Saw Joel twice over the last two weeks due to tight leg muscles leading up to my marathon. Best decision I made as he sorted out the tightness and very sore legs with some sports massage, and now I'm hopefully all ready to go for this weekends run. Very friendly and knowledgeable 👍

Excellent and highly recommend. Joel was polite and professional and put me at ease. He explained how the session would work and what to expect. The sports massage was thorough and helped to relieve tension in the neck, shoulders and back. I enquired about follow up sessions and was not made to feel anything was compulsory. Rather I was offered a selection of options that would suit me should I wish to try. More...

First went to see Joel when I had a diagnosed bulging disc on my spine. Joel was incredibly professional and knowledgeable and I had a mixture of various strength building and stretching exercises alongside massage. On a program of seeing Joel every 2-3 weeks he has transformed me from someone that was crippled with constant pain to being someone that is pain free. Cannot recommend Joel highly enough. His massage skills and experience are second to none and I honestly don't know where I'd be without him. Huge thank you Joel. More...

Joel was helpful even before I'd seen him, he was prompt with his responses and polite. I have struggled for longer than I care to remember with my hip, and was having sciatica problems, however, the difference is amazing, he showed me exercises to help and the sports massage while sometimes uncomfortable really have helped, for the first time in ages I can actually lie on my bad side! Would definitely recommend

Excellent service from Joel , had an hour massage with Joel , did an amazing job , hit all the tight spots ,,, great service, nice guy , going back soon ,, it's a big 5* from me

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Glad that you had a great experience and found treatment effective.

Very good manage straight to the point .Would recommend Joel to carry out any massage

I visited Joel to see if he could help ease my back and sciatic pain , indeed he did . After one session I felt the relief. I can highly recommend Joel for a firm sports massage. I also have started using Joel for PT sessions . He is motivating and encouraging and I am seeing results after just a few sessions. Top bloke and a definite must try if you’re looking to improve your physical wellness. You won’t be disappointed More...

After hitting a plateau in my training I started having personal training with Joel. Since then I’ve been hitting PBs and noticed a real improvement in my performance. Every workout is different and he’s a font of knowledge with all things exercise. His gym is well equipped and has a lot of equipment I had never used before. If you’re looking for a great PT I would highly recommend Joel! More...

Joel comes to my house on a regular basis to help me recover from a serious shoulder operation. I found him very good at listening and assessing the situation. We started purely with massages on my injured area to release tensions, act on trigger points and activate blood circulation. We progressively introduced physio exercises to increase my mobility and we now are working on adding some strength into them. I find Joel easy to get on with, he makes you feel comfortable and he is encouraging. I find that the work we do is accessible and progressive. I can go on working on the exercises for the rest of the week and I find great relief from the massages. Joel is very polite and punctual, he is also flexible in the way that we can work on a mixture of physio and massages. Thank you Joel. More...

I’m delighted to recommend Joel to anyone who has need of the best sports massage. I have been treated by Joel for a number of years and have had excellent results. He treated a rotator cuff shoulder injury with great care. Then he focussed on a calf and lower back problem and fixed these too. His approach is very considerate and kind. He is well qualified. He is ‘the real deal’ when it comes to this sort of treatment. More...

Joel has been my PT for 2 years and I would highly recommend him! I train with Joel once a week and no two sessions are the same. They are well planned and tailored to get the best results. I thoroughly enjoy my sessions and sometimes put in my own requests as to what I would like to do the following weeks, (Bootcamp/Circuits are my favourite sessions). Joel pushes me to achieve my best, even when I doubt my own abilities. Joel & Chelsea offer a wide variety of workouts/stretches/mobility exercises on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram for all abilities, I would highly recommend watching these! I have recently started having Sports Massages with Joel and can honestly say they have massively helped! Joel is knowledgeable, professional and gives great advice! More...

I have a problem with my lower back and so I have had regular sports massages. The combination of doing the regular personal training and the massages with Joel have enabled me to be pain free in my lower back for the last two years. Great guy, great service.
