Charlie is a skilled and professional practitioner with a relaxed, friendly manner. I consulted him regarding neck and lower back pain which he assessed and treated in my first session with positive results. He supplied further advice and information for exercises to aid and increase flexibility. I would certainly recommend him and I will be returning.- David Goodhew 

I attended an appointment with Charlie today. The appointment started promptly and I was asked a series of appropriate questions. Charlie examined my leg and ankle and gave me very constructive advice in a friendly and relaxed manner. I also received massage treatment for my left-sided sciatica and unstable ankle. Charlie's approach was very professional throughout and he gave me a series of exercises to work on until our next follow up appointment. I have no hesitation in recommending his services- Patrick McMorrow 

Charlie was fantastic! He quickly identified my tight quads and hip flexors, and the treatment he gave me is already making a difference. Plus, he's really fun to chat with – made the appointment enjoyable.- Alex Mills 

Great working with Charlie the last few months. He's really helped getting me through the London marathon(first ever) with expert care and really helpful advice. Me and my 62year old legs will be back!- Colin Campbell 

I would fully recommend Charlie - he is a skilled practitioner, who listens and thoughtfully treats you... I am now thankfully on the road to recovery. The post session movement suggestions and exercises were on point. Thanks Charlie.- David Cole 

Charlie is great! Very friendly and knowledgeable. Helped me get to the London Marathon startline injury free and confident. Will for sure be coming back when I start my next training block- Steph Greed 

Charlie is simply the best. I came with a very specific and difficult issue and Charlie delivered outstanding assessment and follow-up appointments, putting me back together every time, like a magician. He is also wonderful to spend time with.- Maria Tanjala 

I’ve been going to see Charlie for about a year now for various issues but most recently for my marathon prep. I would recommend him 110% for massages!!!- Christina Crossman 

Charlie was very thorough, caring and attentive. Kind, warm and friendly with deep insight, knowledge and understanding in the realm of physio. Would highly recommend. An asset to the community and afar.- Emily Barker 

Charlie was incredibly informative, managed to book me in last minute as I needed a deep tissue before a race, and he even recommended me to an acupuncturist for another issue I was having. Would 100% go to him again!- Emily Bacon 

Charles is the best therapist I have been to in London. Such a kind person and really listens and tries to find ways to get you fully recovered.- David Schlachter

I can’t recommend Charlie enough. From the moment I walked in, I felt truly cared for. He listens attentively, always makes you feel heard, and tailors each session to what you truly need. It’s not just about the treatment, Charlie genuinely invests in your well-being and recovery. Thanks to his support, I’m not only feeling better physically and mentally but also more confident in my ability to heal.- Jo Barril 

Charlie was super-helpful. He asked pertinent questions, listened empathetically, and gave some very accessible, practical advice. The exercises and massage were a godsend with breaking down pain I've been experiencing. I was definitely standing taller on the way out after my first visit. I'd definitely recommend Charlie with anyone needing treatment and advice. I'm sure I'll be back!- Ali Hill 

I have been working with Charlie for a good few months now and the results have been utterly transformative. Previously, I was in awful neck, back and shoulder pain - barely able to lift my arm above my head. Charlie has been fantastic and my pains are now almost non existent and I can perform almost any physical task with confidence. Charlie is a top bloke, really friendly and compassionate regarding my injuries - and he is focused on me and tailored massage to get me back to how I was. Amazing stuff.- Graham Thomas 

I've been seeing Charlie for 3 months, in the lead up to the Marathon. He's been treating all my running aches and pains and I couldn't have crossed the finish line without his treatments. Charlie is a brilliant therapist,, he's so accommodating and I highly recommend.- Milly Brushett 

Charlie treated my chronic neck and shoulder with an assessment followed by massage therapy. He was very skilled at understanding the root of the pain and very hands on with respect to treatment. I immediately felt the pain lift off just after one session. Highly recommend!- Sanober Shaikh 

Charlie has helped me with a number of issues over the years - from shoulder injuries, to a slipped disc rehab program, to more general sports massage and acunpuncture for pre and post sporting events. The quality of treatment is excellent, as is his knowledge, understanding and explanation of why and how we should focus on certain things. Highly recommended.- Ben Wharin 

Having come highly recommended, I went to see Charlie in the hope that he could help me with a shoulder injury and nerve damage, where others had failed. HE DID. Within in two weeks I felt the benefit of the massage and acupuncture and got some great advice too. Excellent therapist, lovely chap. Go see him!- Claire Solan 

Charlie treated my symptoms of burnout and stress over a small number of accupuncture sessions helping shift the symptoms and recharging my energy levels back to a good level. His approach was 

sensitive to my needs as he very clearly tuned in to what treatment should be given, asking pertinent questions to clarify. Very impressed and highly recommended.- Jonathan Morris 

I thought my knees were shot to pieces but Charlie assured me they were fine and worked on my quads and hip flexors - 4 weeks later my knees are fine and I'm actually running again. I'm a new man. Couldn't recommend Charlie more!- Gordon Bray 

Lovely to meet up with Charlie, he really knows his stuff! Came out with much greater knowledge and the confidence to try exercises I didn’t think I could manage. I will be back!- Linda Matthews 

I was fortunate to come across Charlie as a masseur. Would highly recommend him - having finished chemotherapy he was extremely friendly, professional and inspiring. All I needed at this moment in time. Would highly recommend Charlie. His studio also overlooks a lovely garden.!! Iwona Yoga 

Can't recommend highly enough. Charlie gave a very professional, kind and thorough assessment of my neck/shoulder problem, and in 4 short weeks his treatment has restored me (almost! I am quite old) to new. Really he is a miracle worker. I am so very grateful.- Elizabeth Ollard 

I've had a number of sessions with Charlie, mainly on my upper and lower back. I found him knowledgeable and personable. He tailored my treatment to suit my specific needs.- James Woolford 

I had three sessions with Charlie to treat long-term chronic pain. In the initial session, he made a real effort to properly understand the origins of my pain but without passing judgement, which made the subsequent treatment feel really tailored and well-thought-out. Charlie also followed up each session -- which combined elements of holistic massage therapy with traditional acupuncture and helped to alleviate a lot of the pain. Aside from anything, he's a thoroughly nice bloke! Will likely go back and thoroughly recommend the treatment to others -- you'll come away with a better understanding of your body.- Joe Lofts

You are in very safe hands with Charlie. He took the time to really listen to me, did a very detailed examination and gave me a massage like no other, all in one session! He also taught me some great tips I can use in the future, and is very kind and lovely to talk to. I now feel a lot more hopeful about a knee cap issue that has been troubling me for a while. I'm looking forward to my next visit!- Rolake Segun-Ojo 

Charlie is an amazing therapist, I highly recommend him. Always very attentive and personable, he has really helped me over the past year with various exercise related issues. My recovery from muscle niggles have always been speedy from both Charlie’s sessions and his great advice for aftercare- Sharla 

 

Charlie is an incredible therapist. He is knowledgeable, intuitive and uses a range of techniques to holistically address and treat issues. Each session has helped improve my symptoms and I am now pain free and injury free. Highly recommended.- Amy Lamont 

I couldn’t recommend Charlie enough. He was very professional, kind and knowledgeable. With regular sessions, he helped to ease discomfort and strengthen my muscles during marathon training, allowing me to get prepped as best as possible for race day. Without his help I doubt I would have got the same result. Would highly recommend visiting!- Connie Ffitch 

A very thorough and holistic assessment! Charlie listened to me and took an in-depth history of the current problem and a more well-rounded look at my active lifestyle and job. A wide range of treatments were able to be advised including muscle strengthening, acupuncture and massage. I would thoroughly recommend Charlie!!- Grace Hurford 

I've been having massage and acupuncture treatments with Charlie for 5 years, and highly recommend him. He's kept my back, neck and shoulders in check over the years (which are all very prone to muscle tightness/aches and pains), and been able to provide amazing relief during acute situations where my neck or back have gone into spasm. The combination of massage and acupuncture (if you want it!) is unbeatable in my opinion. Charlie's very kind and easy to get along with.- Georgia Patey 

I was recommended to see Charlie and have such positive experiences to share. I originally sought help for chronic back pain and have received acupuncture, massage, and advice, all with good outcomes. Charlie is intuitive, responsive and very professional. I feel safe and supported and would highly recommend his service to others. He will also adapt his treatments according to presentation on the day. For example, at one visit I was experiencing unexplained nausea and he adapted the acupuncture to address that issue during the booked session. Thank you Charlie.- Polly Jedrzejak 

I visited Charlie as I was suffering from knee pain - within two sessions Charlie managed to sort the issue with the pain now gone. Charlie was professional, friendly and put me at ease during my appointments and I would strongly recommend him to others.- Kathleen Kilmurray 

I booked Charlie for a treatment as my shoulder had been very sore for days. I am a professional singer and singing teacher which is a very physical job, so my body needs to be in the best form. He made a thorough diagnosis and used a technique called scraping in combination with massage. He also advised me on how to continue the healing myself. I highly recommend Charlie and would definitely see him for treatments again.- Inge-Lise Nygaard 

Charlie treated my back injury with massage and acupuncture over two sessions. Charlie is friendly and professional and I would visit him again whilst also recommending to friends.- Denise Taylor 

I visited a number of specialists after spraining my neck this year- an osteopath, chiropractor etc. but I'm so glad I found Charlie. The majority of discomfort I was feeling was muscular and so I felt like a different person after just 1 session (which I didn't feel with the other specialists). He also treated 

other areas of discomfort so when I left my whole body felt lighter and freer. Everyone could benefit from treatment here whether from injury or just niggling pain from exercise or being sat still all day. Charlie is a joy to be around and receive treatment from.- Beth 

Charlie is the only therapist I would trust now. I’ve seen various people over the years for a dodgy hip but after seeing Charlie it was the only time I saw a significant improvement… so much so that within 6 months I managed to run the london marathon! He’s always very professional and knowledgeable with a great new treatment room in a handy location. I’d really recommend him to anyone and already have!- Kate Lott 

Needed a massage ahead of undertaking a half marathon as I had a few aches and knots. Charlie was very good - did a thorough assessment and then provided the massage and followed up with some good advice. Would recommend.- John Easton 

Charlie was instrumental to my ultra marathon training. As someone who doesn't do a lot of running, I started to get a lot of small injuries early in my training. Luckily thanks to Charlie identifying the issues, providing the right exercises and having regular tailored sessions I was able to stick to my training plan and complete the ultra marathon with no issues. Really grateful to him.- Michael Deller 

Charlie is great, very professional and knowledgeable. He took time to fully understand my problem and provided me with exercises which quickly reduced the pain. Highly recommended.- Sara Rodriguez 

Excellent Tuina therapy from Charlie which had an almost miraculous effect on my painful back, I went in hunched over with spasms and came our nearly straight and after a couple of days was so very much better as the treatment continued to work through. I went back again this week for a top up and some work on other stiff areas. Can't recommend highly enough, very personable.- Lucy Renton 

I was able to get a booking on the day and Charlie was incredibly helpful in understanding what was causing my shoulder and neck pain. His treatment, and follow up sessions have certainly improved my condition on my road to recovery. I would strongly recommend Charlie if you are requiring massage for muscular sports injury.- Rupert Tripp 

I saw Charlie here and he was absolutely amazing. I was having problems with my knee and ankle, he saw me straight away, gave me all the support and advice I needed with a nice massage. very friendly, could not suggest using him enough- Chris May 

I had an initial appointment ( and then a follow up session ) with Charlie. I had come to see him with an ongoing hip problem. He was brilliant; first listening to my issues and then thoroughly examining my hip movements. He explained what was happening to my muscles and joints in a way that made sense . He gave clear advice about how to strengthen appropriate muscles. I would highly recommend him for a massage. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Octavia Milner 

Charlie is a brilliant therapist and acupuncturist. He is an empathic and intuitive listener so is able to get to the root of the issue quickly and provide the necessary treatment in a calm and peaceful environment. I have seen vast improvements since coming here.- Daisy Scalci 

Great experience. I went to Charlie back in October for an issue with my knee. He is warm and friendly, gave useful advice suited to my needs, and also ended the sessions at the right time. Would recommend.- Lucy Frazer 

Had a really useful session with Charlie. The location is ideal and Charlie was very helpful and attentive and gave me great follow up advice after meeting him. Very grateful and will definitely revisit if I have any future issues.- Ines Fernandes de Cordova 

Charlie introduced me to acupuncture for headache management and I've benefitted greatly from his services for the past four years. He is completely professional, reliable and is skilled in diagnosis and treatment. I highly recommend Charlie for anyone seeking an alternative route to pain management.- Victoria Clasen 

Charlie's approach to care is eclectic and personalized. He combines acupuncture with massage,, varying his methods to address changing symptoms and concerns. He listens and shows that he cares. I'm on my way to healing with his help and encouragement.- Lynne Platt 

Charlie is a brilliant therapist. I have had a longstanding back and neck problem which he has successfully treated. I can highly recommend.- Christian Lewis 

Best massage I’ve ever had! My back was knotty and achy from looking after my baby; Charlie expertly unwound all my tight muscles. I left the clinic feeling like I was floating on air! He also advised on exercises to strengthen and prevent future pain. I can’t recommend him highly enough. I will definitely return for future treatments.- Julia Ellis 

Charlie has helped me wonderfully after a bad fall injured my back. His manipulation and acupuncture have improved my mobility. I highly recommend him.- Elle Haddington
