Testimonials
“Like many people these days, I spend too much time sitting behind a computer, with disastrous consequences for my back and arms. Zoltan not only fixed the loss of sensation I had in my fingers, but also tackled deep-rooted muscle knots causing me stiffness and pain. To help prevent recurrence of these problems, Zoltan showed me how to stretch properly – something I now religiously do.”
Dan
"I found Zoltan after a sports injury that wasn't healing on its own or via conventional stretching. I play a lot of sports and have done for many years so I'm keen to stay as fit as possible for as long as possible and take a keen interest in my body and it's workings. The level of detail and assistance Zoltan provided far exceeded anything I've experienced - and I've seen a lot of specialists over the years. I completed a course for one injury and I feel it was so successful I plan to start another course on a different issue ... If you care about longevity of your physical fitness as well learning some deeper understanding about the body then I cannot recommend Zoltan enough."
"I am a very regular ballroom and Latin social dancer. I sought Zoltan's help after developing both some stiffness in my right shoulder (from holding my ballroom frame) and a recurring ache in my hip joints (which seemed to be attributable to rather too much Latin hip action in higher heels than I wear day to day) ... After one session of manipulation, my shoulder problem was entirely resolved. On the hips, Zoltan ... not only helped to maintain the improvement I felt after the session but have also given me more confidence in managing the impact of more intensive dance sessions on my hip joints going forward."

“Zoltan is a very skilled masseur who puts his clients at ease. He has a deep understanding of fascia and muscles and was able to get to the cause of my problem very quickly and effectively. He is the only masseur I know who incorporates visualization into his massages which I think helps the client to participate more deeply in the healing process and also to continue getting the benefit of a massage after it is over.”
MT
“I am so very thankful to Zoltan for helping me to relieve the chronic pain in my shoulder. With a combination of gentle stretching, massage, exercises and discussion, we were able to correct a complicated problem that I had been dealing with for over six years. It took nine hours of therapy, plus dedicated efforts to do the exercises at home exactly as Zoltan suggested, but now I am pain-free and have wonderful mobility in my shoulder.”
MJ
"I initially went to go see Zoltan for a single session on my back, the level of detail and explanation of what was happening with my muscles was incredible. Shortly after this I signed up for multiple sessions and he has been helping me to train my back. The changes have been dramatic, increased mobility, pain has significantly decreased and most importantly he is showing me ways to avoid it coming back again. Absolutely fantastic and I would strongly recommend."
Lex
“A friend from Park Run recommended Zoltan after I injured my knees doing speed training. I was experiencing an aching pain constantly when I sat down for any length of time and twinges when I tried to run, after training too hard in an old pair of trainers. Zoltan was very professional and committed to finding out what the issue was and making it better. I came for a number of sessions and the pain began to lessen and has now completely gone. I could feel the difference in my legs as before I had hard blocks of muscle but now I can feel the different muscles in them above the knees! He was flexible with his timetable and I cannot recommend Zoltan highly enough!”
KJ
"I am a massage therapist and i am extremely fussy with who i allow to treat me and who i trust to treat me ... in the past some therapists have been over zealous with their treatments and caused me problems. Zoltan is non of these = he listens and is extremely caring and aware of my issues. His treatments are fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and i am happy to recommend him 100%."
Nic
"Zoltan slow, focused and thorough approach impressed me very much. I feel in good hands when I bring my back issues to him safe in the knowledge that I will invariably feel better, lighter and looser once I've had one of his treatment. I would recommend him to anyone."
Daniel
"Zoltan is a truly gifted massage therapist. My lower back is now virtually pain free after years of discomfort."
Jane
"The short review: Zoltan is a fantastic therapist, who is empathetic, understanding and listens to your needs. I would highly recommend visiting him. The longer review: I'd suffered shoulder and back pain for a number of years and went to a mix of physiotherapists and sports masseuses during that time. Each one went the same, I'd get some relief during the sessions, be told to do 30+ minutes of exercises everyday which was not something I could easily fit into my schedule and then I'd give up with that therapist. Eventually a dancer friend of mine recommended myofascial release, which is how I stumbled upon Zoltan. I originally booked 6 sessions, but within 4 my shoulder pain had pretty much completely disappeared. Zoltan did amazing hands-on work, helping me to really feel where the pain was in my body and working together to relieve that pain. His attitude to exercises was to find stuff that worked for me, building up over the course of the sessions, rather than overloading on day one. ... Although I'm no longer experiencing my original pain, I plan on continuing to visit Zoltan's clinic for the foreseeable as the sessions really help me to attune to what's going on in my body and work through any pain or tension that's presenting itself. Would highly recommend!"
Kris
"Had an excellent treatment from Zoltan ... he really knows his stuff. I went in with a lot of pain which had almost entirely gone by the end of the treatment. Highly recommended."
