This has been transformative for all the issues I’ve encountered whilst training but also preventative information going forward relative to my training.
Very friendly and highly knowledgeable…wish I’d done it sooner rather than YouTube and guesswork.
Shoutout specifically to both Tom’s for their help.
10/10 would highly recommend!!!
Very nice to meet you Emily and thank you very much for taking the time to provide a 5* review of my work with yo. Good luck on your first marathon!
Best wishes John Holman Clinic Lead at Massage Matters

Debbie gave me one of the best back, neck and shoulder massages I have ever had - felt light as a feather afterwards! Will definitely be back regularly :)
Tom Newby at Massage Matters has been brilliant - I am now a regular. I play squash up to 6 times a week with a bit of running in-between. Tom's deep massage fixed my original hamstring, glute and lower back issues - and he has enabled me to continue playing matches throughout my treatments. Highly recommend this professional service for any keen sport players with overused and strained muscles. Many thanks!
After a bad cold, I suffered from a sharp pain across the top of my head every time I coughed. This went on for nearly a year. The doctor wasn’t interested. Saw John and he explained that it could be muscular. After one session with John, the pain stopped. Will use John for any issue in the future.
Good morning Carol, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this 5* review of my work with you. I am delighted that we were able to resolve this long standing headache issue for you. Best wishes John

Have been to John a few times in recent years, he always does great work on my troublesome neck. Will be continuing to seek his help.
Good to see you today Charlie and thank you for your lovely 5* review. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this. Best wishes John

My nan has started using John regularly for a few months now and has nothing but good words to say about him.
He quickly figured out what was causing her pain and is managing it well with her. She has suffered for years with this pain and until she met John had not managed to get a proper diagnosis until now.
After her first appointment she said it was the best night's sleep she'd had in months!
Shes very impressed and wanted to leave an excellent review for him and everybody to see. 5 stars for John !
Hi Emma, Thank you for taking the time to submit this lovely 5* review of my work with your Grandmother. Perhaps more importantly, thank you for helping her to get into Massage Matters to see me. We are definitely making real progress on this long standing neck issue, and I am confident that there is more progress to be made. Thank you once again for taking the time to write this lovely review. Kind regards John Holman - Clinic lead at Massage Matters

Sharon is a caring, attentive and incredibly effective masseuse. She is responsive, super adept at finding just the right spot, has a lovely pressure and manner and her holistic approach is healing and peace giving. Highly recommend her hour long hydrotherm massage for warming and relaxing both mind and body.
Paddy it was my absolute pleasure treating you today. Thank you for your kind words & 5 star review it means a lot .
Look forward to seeing you again soon
Take care
Sharon

I couldn’t recommend Massage Matters more highly . John is truly amazing how he has sorted out my back problems . His knowledge of the anatomy and the muscle connections is superb and his treatments are carried out with total professionalism and care . I am so grateful to have benefitted from his expertise.
Good morning Briony. Thank you so much for your very kind and constructive five star review. It has been an absolute pleasure to help with your back and to see the progress that you have made over the last few weeks. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to write this Google review of my work with you. Best wishes John x
Quick Relief and Outstanding Care
I make an appointment with Tom Newby whenever I have a lasting niggle. Tom is great at pinpointing and treating the cause of the aches and pains. One appointment does the trick and quickly resolves any discomfort.
Date of experience: 15 December, 2025
Thank you so much Jeff, so kind, I look forward to seeing you again soon

John from Massage Matters is absolutely first class! Clearly an expert in his field, John’s knowledge is exceptional. I have a chronic knee issue which has to be carefully managed and John @Massage Matters is my ‘Go To’ trusty expert!
Apart from the fact that he is an amazing practitioner, I always feel so much better after he has treated me. John also helps me maintain my knee mechanics by advising on the right exercises which makes his service excellent value for money.
I am looking forward to engaging with the other therapists in time as I know Massage Matters has built a team of outstanding professional therapists in their respective fields.
Every touch point at this clinic is top notch, caring & professional. It is spotlessly kept, warm and comfortable. The pride the management and practitioners have in this business is a delight and their high standards very consistent. Thank you 🤩
Dearest Karen, Thank you so much for taking the time to craft this fabulous five star review. Your comments about our clinic, our therapists and my work with you are greatly appreciated by us all. I look forward to seeing you on your next visit. Best wishes John Holman - Clinic Lead.

Sharon has a wonderful balance of a relaxing massage yet knowing exactly what she’s doing to get your aches and pains. So many friends have been to her in the final stages of pregnancy, too, for much needed TLC.
I’ve seen John and Tom, also, for pelvic pain in pregnancy and pain related to my posture at work and they’ve always provided relief, even checking afterwards to see how things feel.
Overall I recommend MMC regularly - they are all kind, professional and experts in their field. Thank you!
I was given a massage here as a gift, and from the very first moment everything was perfect. The welcome was warm and the massage was professional.
I was looked after by Tom, who first asked a few questions to understand my needs and preferences, and during the massage he checked several times that everything was comfortable and to my liking.
A truly excellent experience, highly recommended!
I first went to see Sharon when I was 10 weeks pregnant and starting to get some lower back discomfort. I'm now 28 weeks pregnant and have been going back at least monthly because the massages are just that good! Sharon is amazing and quickly works out exactly which area is bothering you, and sorts it out! I always leave feeling like I'm walking on air, can't recommend highly enough!!
I've been treated at Massage Matters for probably nearly ten years ago, mostly by John, but also by Sharon. 2 different styles of treatment, but both very effective and using the Hydrotherm system. Between them, they keep me fit and mobile and able to keep doing the sports I love.
Hi Jo, Sorry it has taken a couple of weeks to reply to your lovely review, I have been on Jury service. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on the work of my friend and colleague Sharon, as well as my work with you. It is always a pleasure to see you and to help keep you in good order. We llok forward to seeing you again in 2026! Best wishes John Holman - Clinic Lead

It was lucky I came across MassageMatters, because the pain in my hips was leading me closer and closer to a very dark rabbit hole in searching on the World Wide Web for a butt masseuse.
From the initial call to meeting John in person, I was instantly reassured that I was in the right place. The blend of massage techniques combined with physio-style recommendations meant that even a few hours after my first appointment, I felt relief. And the stretches John taught me meant that I’ve been able to maintain that joy of being pain free ever since.
If you feel like you’re in a similar position to the one I was - trying to find fixes through a hundred different YouTube and app stretch programmes, and struggling for time because of caring commitments and a desk job, then I wholeheartedly recommend you booking an appointment. I was diagnosed with a bulging disc years ago and never got half as much help in near 10 years through the NHS as I have with John in a total appointment time of 95minutes!!
I’ll be back to see what wonders he can do against three decades of anxiety induced tense shoulders, but I dare say I’ll leave a happy customer once again. ☺️
Hi Hannah, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide this wonderful review of my work with you. I am delighted that you chose Massage Matters and in particular me to assist you. It is a privilege and pleasure to work with you. Thank you once again for sharing your thoughts

Can’t recommend Leia and Massage Matters enough - both my husband and I visit regularly. Professional, attentive and listened to my concerns before starting.
Dear Lizzie,
Thankyou so much for taking the time to leave us a review. It's such a pleasure to work with you and I hope the exercises are making a difference. I look forward to seeing you again soon and discussing next steps. We will find the solution together!
All good wishes

I had been suffering with very uncomfortable nerve pain radiating down my arm into my hand and fingers after I pulled a muscle in my shoulder. I had never had it before and it was worrying. I was using cold therapy and lots of ibuprofen but nothing was helping. I went to my GP who prescribed more pain relief. After a couple more days I couldn’t manage as the discomfort was making it difficult to sleep. I contacted massage matters clinic and arranged an appointment with John. John diagnosed me within minutes with a condition called Thoracic outlet syndrome and he gave me some exercises to do. Within a day of doing those I started to feel relief and three days later the discomfort was nearly completely gone. John has been great and I will continue to see him to manage the condition on an ongoing basis. John is very knowledgeable and has lots of advice and guidance. I can’t recommend him enough.
Hi Rachel, Thank you so much for taking the time to write this wonderful 5* review. I am so pleased that you came into see us, and that we were able to help. Your condition is more coomon following whiplash injuries, but is still relatively rare. Thank you once again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
Best wishes
John
