I have had the pleasure of working with Martin on two different occasions when my body was out of alignment and causing me pain.

His knowledge of physical anatomy and postural integrity is profound.

The movement programme he created for me was clear, concise and accessible.

After working with a physio and not seeing the results I wanted, working with Martin was refreshing and allowed the window for recovery to open.

I highly recommend Martin’s offerings.

Martin immediately made me feel at ease, discussing in
easy-to-understand language what was needed to rehabilitate and regain movement back in my shoulder, and how we would work together towards the surgery and then post surgery.

I enrolled as a client on a 12-month plan with sessions twice weekly, improvement has seen me pain-free and working towards having the skills and knowledge to keep up Martin’s work heading into the future.

I had surgery in April this year and within 3 weeks I was able to get back to work with Martin. The work we’d been doing meant that post-surgery I was well on my way to getting back to being able to move and be pain-free as I age. I am a keen gardener and can now be outside and working in my vegetable plot, hopefully up until I’m in my 80s and beyond!

I’m in good hands!

Martin goes over and above
the normal way of coaching and massage therapy.

He includes other areas of movement, physiological treatments, breathwork, mindset & even nutritional support.

often, I receive new insight into what is really healthy for my body and mind and for my personal development. Over time, I have found more inner focus and awareness and am kinder to myself.

Thank you Martin for the protected space you always create in your sessions.
