Sean Burke Massage — Massage therapist in Southampton, England

Amazing treatment. Best I’ve ever experienced. Sean is a lovely man and is very intuitive.

I used to be an international athlete and have seen a lot of physios, chiropractors and massage therapists over the years, and can honestly say that Sean is up there with the very best of them. He takes a very thoughtful, wholistic and balanced approach - I would definitely recommend him whether you have a straightforward niggle or something more complicated.

Sean is one of the kindest people I have had the pleasure of meeting in my life. I have dealt with chronic pain since I was young and he is the only person who has effectively treated and managed my pain, I have seen many professionals over the years and they don’t come close. I always look forward to my appointments and leave much happier all round.

I was recommended to Sean Burke Massage by a colleague, as I often carry a lot of tension in my upper body from regular physical activity. From the very first session, I felt in good hands. Sean takes the time to understand what the body needs on the day, always adjusting his approach with care and a holistic perspective — considering muscles, joints, ligaments, nerves, and bones. He checks in regularly about pressure, and creates a space that feels welcoming, respectful, and professional. The heated massage table is a lovely touch, though it’s great that it can be adjusted on warmer days. I always leave feeling lighter, looser, and looked after. Looking forward to my next session!

I had the pleasure of seeing Sean for a massage and was genuinely blown away. As a doctor of chiropractic, I've worked with many manual therapists over the years, and his approach stands out as the most skilled and intuitive I’ve experienced. He brings deep knowledge, a grounded presence, and a unique, open-minded way of working with the body. I left feeling lighter, more connected, and genuinely cared for. Highly recommend.

I was so impressed by Sean, his professional friendly approach put me at ease immediately. He listened and asked questions to enable him to plan a thorough treatment. He treated my body as a whole, rather then just the injury site. I am 7 months post partial knee replacement and this is the first therapist I’ve met who has brought relief, and better function. I now don’t need to see multiple professionals to achieve the goal, with his vast experience and techniques I can now use him instead of a chiro & massage therapist. It’s refreshing to find someone passionate about there work, and the clients outcomes.

I have had several treatments from Sean and I can’t recommend him enough. Sean is skilled, knowledgeable, a great listener and communicator. Each time I visit he takes on board my comments and really tries to understand my issue before providing his best suggestions on how to remedy the problems. During the treatment he explains in detail what he is doing and why he is doing it. Any question I may have he is always happy to answer and explain in detail so that I not only leave feeling better but also with knowledge to help me avoid issues in the future. Sean has helped me with multiple issues such as lower back pain, rotator cuff injuries and wrist pain. These have been caused due to a mixture of over working myself at the gym and poor posture / habits. If you are a regular gym goer I would highly recommend Sean to help you with any injury you may have or niggling aches and pains. Lastly I would like to add that Sean himself is an amazing person who genuinely cares for people and that really comes across when you meet him. His treatments are reasonably priced and I couldn't pick a better person who I would rather spend my money on.

I was recommended to Sean by a friend and had my first appointment in February! Sean is such a lovely man and amazing at what he does. He went above and beyond to help me, I was there for a good couple of hours which was way over my hour appointment slot. Sean really put me at ease and explained what he was doing and why, which really helped me understand why I was struggling with the pain for so long. I learned so much! Thank you Sean, neck pain has completely gone and my lower back is so much better! Highly recommended :)

Sean is a top bloke, he’s extremely knowledgeable and has worked alongside some top people. During my session Sean was on the ball and made sure to use time efficiently. He’s not only very good at what he does, he’s a very genuine person who will leave you feeling mentally as well as physically uplifted after your session. After your first session you will realise the price is genuinely worth it as your body will be thanking you. Your first session will be the first of many, I look forward to getting another session booked in.

I had my first session with Sean today and I was beyond happy with how it went. He went way above and beyond to help me and explained as he went what he was doing and why, which for an exercise geek like me was great. I learned a lot. Also and perhaps more importantly I have to say what a lovely human being he is! I Really enjoyed chatting with him and left feeling physically and mentally better than I did before I went!! Highly recommended.
