I had a massage with Carl tonight. Had only ran a marathon 2 days ago, and was suffering with some pains in both legs. Carl took time to properly work both legs, talking me through what he was doing and working out the problem areas. The room was perfect, very relaxing, friendly environment. Carl has excellent knowledge of the body and muscles and works in a highly professional way. will be back again.

Since retiring from playing rugby in 2019 I have been struggling with a few niggling injuries. I have been seeing Carl for treatment for the last month and really pleased with the results. I am seeing small improvements regularly and I am impressed with both his treatment & knowledge. I am happy to say he will be supporting myself & Ivybridge ladies in the future.

I worked with Carl in preparation for high profile fights for the British masters title and the David Haye undercard on sky sports. 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 masters title and being rated in the top 10 British boxing rankings. Highly recommended for any levels of fitness and keeps you highly motivated.

Carl is professional, personable and thoroughly knowledgeable about sports massage and therapy. I have known him for over 4 years as my Personal Trainer and enjoy his company, wit and advice. He has helped me to achieve my goals in a fun and relaxed environment with encouragement and motivation. I have had several sports massages to treat injuries but this time opted for a relaxing deep tissue massage which simply eased all my stresses and strains. I have no hesitation in recommending Carl to anyone who wants to heal or simply relax.
