Had a last minute massage from Jody for my back which was aching after a weekend of moving house. Jody was really knowledgeable, took time to understand my previous injuries and current pains and gave some great advice on day to day care. Felt great afterwards and will definitely be coming back for more. The heat bed was also a new thing for me and works a treat! Highly recommend! More...

Fantastic experience. I visited Massage Matters with the hope of alleviating a three-week long migraine. Mark not only helped to reduce the pain and pressure, he educated me on a number of posture improvements, and taught me valuable stretches to use on a daily basis to improve my tension. 100% booking my second appointment, and soon!

Anna has helped me so much. I can't thank her enough. Her soft tissue techniques and stretching has made such a difference. She has improved my scapula and hip mobility so much and my range of movement has significantly improved. I can't rate Anna highly enough, thank you so much for all you have done for me so far. ***** More...

Over the past 30 years or so I’ve had regular massage from quite a few different, mostly sports masseuse and although I’ve only been seeing John regularly for a couple of years, he is by far the best massage therapist I’ve ever come across. He certainly knows his stuff, very professional, friendly and a lovely clinic to visit. Thanks John. Sue More...

Tom's massages are quite simply beautiful. An amazingly skilled meditative, mindful and rhythmic yogic flow combined with powerful sports massage technique. This is matched only by Tom himself, a thoughtful, measured and just lovely professional. Very special massages. Just try them. Thanks Tom! (from Gaynor) More...

I just wished I'd found him sooner! John has treated me on a regular basis for around 10 years - him and his team are amazing - very knowledgeable, friendly and professional . No hesitation in recommending Massage Matters.

After an innocuous fall when skiing, I picked up an injury to my upper arm which proved resistant to time-healing alone. Being positive about his own personal experience, my PT recommended me to John Holman at Massage Matters. John immediately gave me confidence that I was in safe hands and demonstrated an expert knowledge of anatomy (that I didn't necessarily expect). I'm pleased to report that my arm was 'sorted' after a few sessions and I'm now a regular, so that I stay on top of the tension I hold in my neck and shoulders (the probable cause of the original problem). My experience is that the team at Massage Matters is professional, capable and friendly in equal measure, so have no hesitation in recommending them. More...

Had been suffering with neck and lower back paid for some time and my Chiropractor thought I would benefit from a massage. I had never been for a massage before and didn't know what to expect, but even after my first appointment with Mark I noticed a difference. Now after a couple of months the movement in my neck is so much better. Mark also helped me when I pulled a muscle in my back and was struggling to move. Would not hesitate to recommend Mark at Massage Matters. More...

Have been a couple of times to see Jody. She is so knowledgeable and personable! Jody spots my problem areas easily and takes the time to explain how it's all connected. She even identifies and treats problems I didnt realise I had! The hydrotherm is brilliant (warm in the winter/cool in the summer) and really helps to relax me (I'm nervous on the table). The best bit is that she got the full range of movement back in my arm!!! Thoroughly recommended - I even bought a massage as a gift for a friend More...

I’ve been going to see John for four years now and is now part of my working week. He has, on every occasion, fixed my neck, shoulders and back. His knowledge is unsurpassed and it’s put over in a plain and simple manner to understand so you can work “with him” even when you are at home. The service is personal, and he will pursue the ailment until such time it is remedied. I cannot praise John and the team enough. You couldn’t be in better hands. More...

I had been for massages before but not for one like this. I booked in with Tom and he put me at ease immediately and obviously knew what he was talking about. I had the back, neck and shoulders massage but if you have any issues or a particular problem area they can target that too. I felt so relaxed afterwards and have booked another one for tomorrow. I have told all of my friends about this who have also been and are going back again. Tom was very polite and friendly and I would highly recommend him. My advice is to book in and try it out for yourself. Your friends will thank you too. More...

I first visited John Holman about ten years ago, after I was unable to find anyone who could treat an old shoulder injury I picked up playing rugby.
John was not only exceptionally knowledgeable but also very welcoming and friendly. Since then I have had treatments with nearly all the therapists at Massage Matters and the service received has always been of the highest quality.
I now visit John on a monthly basis for my MOT(!) and would never consider going anywhere else. I cannot recommend Massage Matters highly enough.

I started visiting Massage matters after joining the gym below them - after taking a new office job I decided to start taking my fitness more seriously and drastically upped my exercise schedule per week - I did find this results in some tight/stiff muscles and so now I see Tom once a month roughly for an hour and he is absolutely fantastic. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and talks you through everything he is doing. He is also very professional and accommodating. Since seeing him I feel I am able to do more at the gym and I certainly don't end up as stiff and tight as I was previously. Overall the service is fantastic and everyone is very friendly too - I would recommend to everyone! More...
