 I recently visited Matthew and received nothing but an excellent massage, just what the doctor ordered!
I soon felt relaxed in Matthew's presence as he portrayed his warm and caring personality. I found him to be a dedicated individual who offers true professionalism. I certainly will be visiting him again. Highly recommended!!

 Matthew is a highly professional practitioner who immediately puts clients at their ease. Matthew has the ability to combine therapy with relaxation in such a way that the client feels the time spent with him is money well spent. Matthew's studio is in a quite leafy part of Bristol. It is clean, warm and very relaxing. I highly recommend Matthew to both experienced clients and also to first-timers.

 I went to Matthew because I had decided to train for a 10k race after some years of abstinence from such activities.
This was partly to work off the added stiffness that I was anticipating from my training and also to reward myself if I stuck to my training regime.
I think it helped me in both regards and was very pleased that I added Matthew's expertise to my training program.
Mission duly accomplished with a run of just under an hour despite having to lay off the training for a week due to a strained piriformis which Matthew did some work on.
A genial and responsive therapist if that is what you require.

 My wife and I have had a number of extremely beneficial sessions with Matthew, and we are sure that they helped maintain our sanity during some stressful times.
I also experienced great relief, from sciatic pain and from internal stress.

 A friend treated me to a voucher for a massage by Matthew for my birthday. I think he is an exceptional massage therapist and I definitely plan to continue to recieve massage treatments from him! I thoroughly recommend his therapeutic massage for helping with stress management and physical well being. He is a very warm and caring person who is attuned to his client's holistic health needs.

 I was first recommended to Matthew by my physiotherapist for neck / back problems following surgery. He very effectively treated these problems, but I have continued to have regular treatments as I have also found Matthew’s massages very helpful in reducing stress and improving my general health. His competence, professional approach and ability to make one feel at ease are worth every penny! I recommend without hesitation!

 I have been going to see Matthew for a message for many years, following a recommendation from a friend.

The massages always deeply relax me and ease my physical and mental tensions. Matthew is friendly, attentive, and professional. Each visit is a real tonic!
