Really enjoyed visiting Rob, he has helped me to work on my posture and relieve some pain that I was experiencing in my back. After a handful of sessions, I can already notice the difference. Very knowledgeable and good at communicating, I would recommend him to others.

Went to see Rob after a few months of house extension stress and DIY had gotten the better of me and after a few sessions he managed to break my muscles back into submission. It was exactly what I needed, no nonsense, sports-style massage, with some good tips on how to help myself further. Highly recommended!

Prior to being discharged, Rob gave me a lot of knowledge on stuff that I can do within and outside the gym to improve my overall mobility and performance. Few weeks after post-discharge, I am back squatting and deadlifting in the gym feeling much stronger and healthy than

I woke up one morning and could barely walk because of my lower back, at which point I decided to visit a Chiropractor, I had 3 sessions with the Chiropractor and didnt feel that the treatment was helping, and the methods being used were too intense for the injury I had suffered. I found Rob after reading
