Somebody recommended Ben and I’m glad they did. He’s got a very friendly approach and has massively helped me with my tight hip/glute issues. Always feel much better after a sports massage with Ben.
Ben has a great reassuring manner, and has helped me lessen pain and stiffness in my back and leg.
Great to see Ben today. I have shoulder impingement exacerbated by painting ceilings and strenuous work with my arm above my head. I have seen Ben with a few different injuries/stresses over the years and he has always provided excellent service and care - with physio, manipulation and acupuncture. I have been in pain since before Christmas and was desperate for some help to improve the condition. Today was no different with an accurate diagnosis by Ben and first rate treatment. Ben offers great information regarding the injury, simple explanation of what the problem is and hands on treatment. Very grateful I was able to make an appointment quickly when I realised that I needed treatment by Ben. I would definitely recommend him and will be back next week for some further treatment as well as following his advice on exercise and self care. Thanks again Ben!
Went to see Ben after having some troublesome pain at the back of the knee for a couple of months. Straight away he spotted that my hip was actually causing the knee problem and was able to reposition it and get me on the road to recovery. I noticed an improvement straight away and he has also given me some helpful stretches to strengthen my leg so that I can play footy again. He is definitely my go-to physio from now on and highly recommended.
I had my first session with Ben, recommended by my husband. I’ve been struggling with lower back pain for a few months and after just one session, I already feel so much relief. Ben is very professional, clearly knows what he’s doing, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the session. He’s also super friendly, which really helps if it’s your first time. I’ve already booked my second session, highly recommend!
Ben put me at ease immediately with his “no frills” and friendly approach. I have every confidence in his treatment and I can say that I always feel much better after a session with him. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
I have been treated by Ben for many years as I have damage to my lower back, the treatment have reduced my pain almost immediately to a low level so that I have been able to get back to work. I have recently had a severe crush injury breaking many bones and following the acute stage, Ben has been treating me for the pain due to muscle damage, which has been successful to a level where I can now sleep. I would recommend his treatment, both acupuncture and remedial massage
I have seen ben numerous times to fix an ongoing issue with my shoulder. Ben ensures he covers every aspect from head to toe when identifying the triggers causing the pain. Ben takes his time and does a fantastic job in identifying the triggers and using a range of different techniques in order to treat the issue from acupuncture to joint adjustment and massage. I would not hesitate to recommend him and will continue to visit monthly to ensure I am moving well and pain free.
I have been seeing Ben regularly for massage therapy and he is amazing. I came to him with chronic back pain from an arched spine, and over time my posture has improved so much and the pain has eased dramatically. Ben is professional, knowledgeable, and always tailors the treatment to what I need. I always leave feeling better. Highly recommend!
I saw Ben today following a recommendation from my son. I've had limited neck movement, headaches and migraines for several months. Today Ben has treated me so I now have full neck movement and understand more about why this was happening. So far so good on the headaches too. I live in Devon but Ben is worth the trip and I am advising my sister to travel from London to see him. Thank you Ben, I can't tell you how much better I feel.
