“Highly Recommended Sports Massage Therapy

I have been receiving sports massage from Carl for a couple of years now and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience.

From the moment I walked in, Carl made me feel comfortable and took the time to understand my areas of concern. Initially I approached him with a specific injury, but over time he has worked on other areas that have caused pain or discomfort.

Carl has a deep understanding of skeletal and muscle anatomy and his expert technique always skillfully targets any issues I am having, improving my mobility and significantly reducing any pain or soreness. Carl also provides helpful advice on stretching and recovery techniques.

I have recommended Carl to friends and family who have all agreed that he is a knowledgeable, skilled, and professional sports massage therapist.

Jess Hunt

CEO & Founder of REFY Beauty

“Carl is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Every training session with him is enjoyable, engaging, and always seems to fly by. He tailors each workout to my goals, keeping things varied, motivating, and effective.

Since working with Carl, I’ve noticed significant improvements in my strength, confidence, and overall fitness — and I always leave our sessions feeling energised and accomplished.

I would highly recommend Carl to anyone looking for a highly skilled and supportive personal trainer who truly understands how to get the best out of you.”

Georgina Gulliver​

England & Barbarians Rugby

“Since retiring from international rugby, I’ve been struggling with a few ongoing niggling injuries that have built up over the years of playing at a high level.

I started seeing Carl for treatment a few months ago, and I’ve been really pleased with the results so far. Each session has made a noticeable difference, and

I’m seeing steady improvements in both mobility and comfort. Carl’s treatment approach is thorough and professional, and his depth of knowledge really stands out.

I’m genuinely impressed with the progress we have made and would highly recommend him to anyone needing expert rehabilitation support and advice today.”

Sonny Trigg

2 x British & European Record Holder

“I have been seeing Carl weekly for the last 4 months to supplement my Swim training in a number of ways.

Firstly before visiting Carl I had been suffering with Tricep Tendonitis and some serious pain preventing me training, this was almost immediately overcome and I have been pain & injury free throughout my hard training.

Secondly my mobility was lacking for swimming, most notably in the streamline position. We have been making strides with this and consequently I am swimming the best I have in my life, not bad considering I am nearly 30!
Since seeing Carl I have swam both lifetime bests and set both British and European Masters Records.

Beyond all of this Carl is generally brilliant.”

Carl Drake

British Boxing Champion

“I worked with Carl in preparation for high profile fights for the British title and the David Haye World title undercard on Sky Sports at the MEN arena  in Manchester.

I was in the best shape of my life and was lucky to train under Carl, who helped me with my functional fitness levels, achieving a British title and rated highly in the boxing rankings.

Highly recommended for any levels of fitness and keeps you highly motivated.”

Steve Burrows

Elite Senior Marathon Runner

“I’ve been having ongoing treatment with Carl, and he’s brilliant. After running a marathon two days ago, I was struggling with leg pain. 

Carl worked on both legs, explaining what he was doing and targeting the problem areas.

The room is calm, relaxing, and welcoming.

His knowledge and professionalism are excellent — I always leave feeling much better!”

Francesca F

Valued Client

I went to Carl for a sports massage, complaining about an issue in my legs. He was able to identify the cause right away and with his guidance, I’ve been pain free for the first time in a long time. I liked him so much as a sports therapist that I made him my personal trainer, and he’s absolutely brilliant at that too! Could not recommend him more, stand up guy and great at what he does.

Carl has been treating me for several years now for my sports-related injuries, and on each occasion, he has diagnosed the issue quickly and accurately. Carl also always provides excellent rehabilitation advice and, if necessary, follow-up care. Quite simply, I recommend Carl without reservations.

My first appointment with Carl today. Lovely room very relaxing. Carl was so friendly. I was full of knots omg when Carl had finished I got of the bed and felt I was walking on air my back felt amazing. Carl was very knowledgable showing me exercises to do for my shoulders.

Carl is a great therapist. Makes you feel very comfortable and is great at what he does. I’ve been going to Carl now for nearly 2 years each week and if I have any pain I tell him and it gets sorted through the treatments. Recommend 100%.
