Through a FREE initial detailed assessment, we can tailor the treatments to your individual needs to help reduce pain and restore function in a way that will will get you feeling back to your best.
I went to Chris because of an issue with my back. He was Incredibly knowledgable with a style unlike any sports/deep tissue massage I've had in the past. The big difference being that there was no intense pain during the session at all.
Admittedly I was a little sceptical of that, thinking it can't possibly have gone deep enough into the muscles to have helped, but immediately after the session I could feel an improvement, and, after following some excellent home care advice he gave, I went from being unable to move (and at one point breath!) to running half marathons again in a few weeks!

An essential part of becoming pain free and ensuring you stay happy and healthy is to include movement into your daily life. Movement and rehabilitative exercises should compliment you and what your body needs. In our experience, it is not about how much weight you can lift or what the person next you is doing, it's about allowing you to move and live your life in a pain free, functional way, that is personal to you and your circumstances.

I have a back pain for a long time due to poor posture. Tried many things, masseuses but nothing helped and then I found Chris. He is so professional and kind with lots of knowledge about muscle pain. He customizes your treatment according to your need and also giving exercises that easily can be done at home. After a few treatments my back improved a lot!
Highly recommend Chris to everyone!

I have found Chris to be very reliable, polite, knowledgable and capable. I have had chronic neck, shoulder and upper back pain and limited mobility and stiffness for many years and he relieved most of the pain in the first session. I have been seeing him for several months now and the pain has virtually gone. My shoulder mobility has increased, the stiffness has decreased and my posture has improved. I also find Chris to be kind understanding and patitient. I have been extremely pleased with what Chris has done to help me and as a result my qualtity of life has signicantly improved.

I've needed Chris quite a few times over the years due to my active lifestyle (MMA, sailing, snowboarding, mountain biking etc...).
He is a sporty person himself, so he understands the need of the "athlete". I was actually pointed in his direction by a pro MMA fighter I train with.
Never had to see him more than once for the same issue. He's very thorough in his analysis and explanation of what likely went wrong and how (I'm conversant in human anatomy). He makes sure he offers the right treatment, rather than a "cookie-cut" treatment I've received elsewhere. Unlike others in the same business

Chris's online stretch and mobility classes are fantastic! Chris creates a calm and relaxed atmosphere even on a screen. The small class sizes allow for individual feedback and add a really personal feel. The exercises are easy to follow due to the clear, concise instructions, accompanied with a demonstration of each one. After just one class I can honestly say I feel better. After suffering with some lower back pain, it felt eased and allowed me to be more mobile (without groaning when standing up from the sofa!). I have been able to encorporate the exercises into my daily routine too. I can't

I've just had my second session with Chris and he's great. I was referred to him by my previous massage therapist who is moving out of the area. He does a great job getting the tension out of my back and shoulder problem areas. All of his techniques so far have been very effective. The room has a nice atmosphere, the parking isn't a problem, and he's easy to talk with. I'm also a fan of his booking system and find it very convenient to use. I'd recommend him to anyone.

I received treatment from Chris lower back and leg issues. The treatment has been excellent. He took time to explain what he was doing and why, and the results were excellent, they've made a huge difference. I've seen a few physios previously but the work Chris has done has been so much better.
I would highly recommend Chris.

I first saw Chris about 12 months ago for a couple of niggling injuries, and more recently following shoulder surgery. He is very knowledgeable, professional and friendly, looking beyond the injury and giving detailed explanations, and advice that is personal and specific to help me at work and in everyday life. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Since treatment with Chris started, my back pain and mobility have improved significantly. He is a very talented therapist with who listens and provides excellent client care in a pleasant and private environment. He delivers muscle manipulation in such a way you don’t feel uncomfortable at all. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I have said many times that he is no ordinary sports massage therapist and wish there was another category beyond that as he would be at the top!
