I have been receiving treatment from Benedetta for many years - initially in relation to a hip tendinopathy issue but also for a wide variety of other injuries and issues. Recently my hip issue intensified and meant I could not sleep well or was awakened from my sleep by my hip - Benedetta has worked on this and I am delighted to say that my hip is now much improved again and is no longer keeping me awake at night. I will continue to visit Benedetta to keep on top of any issues. Benedetta is always very professional, knowledgeable and effective with her treatments - I cannot recommend Massage Therapies highly enough.

I went to Benedetta because I was having trouble with my back and she's done wonders with it. Even in difficult times, dealing with COVID restrictions, she's always professional and welcoming and has really helped me out.

I had my first session with Benedetta and had a deep tissue massage with the Emmett technique it was the best massage I've experienced she put 100% into quickly identifying were I was having the pain and discomfort and I am already feeling the benefits. And I am looking forward to my next session I highly recommend Benedetta. .

I have been going for a regular monthly massage with Benedetta for many years and she has kept me fit through various sports injuries and I can recommend her highly as a true professional with a depth of experience across all areas of therapeutic massage. I have just heard that she will not be able to operate because of the current COVID-19 issue. I will truly miss my routine massage and feel sorry that through no fault of hers Benedetta is unable to operate. I have offered to pay for my cancelled session anyhow and will buy a voucher in advance of my next again session. Cash flow is very hard for people just now but let us all support people who have given such good support to us personally over the years and help keep them in business. Thanks Benedetta.

We have been with Benedetta for many years and find her expertise and knowledge very helpful. She has treated us for pre and post hip operation and recurring lower back pain. She keeps us active (both over 80) and mobile with our 'top-up' trips for massage. She excels in treatment and advice delivered in a friendly and informative manner.
Response : Hello MarionThank you very much for your lovely review which is much appreciated. Benedetta.

I have been visiting Benedetta for many years now, after being referred to her by my physiotherapist. I have general 'wear and tear' issues with my back and lower spine and Benedetta's monthly treatments help me manage this. Benedetta is very knowledgeable, thorough, and professional but also friendly and very approachable. I can wholeheartedly recommend her to you.

Benedetta is my 'go to' therapist. She is professional and thorough and highly experienced. I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

I have been visiting Benedetta since starting chemotherapy in February. She is fully trained in cancer massage so I was reassured that she would understand and be responsive to my situation. I have received reflexology every cycle of treatment and it is helping me deal with the physical and mental rigours of my illness and definitely helping me cope and feel better. Whatever manifests on my feet is fascinating and Benedetta takes time to respond and explain and work through any problem areas. I almost fall asleep no matter what shows up! She is extremely knowledgeable and kind and always takes time to ask about my health and progress. I am very keen to try other modalities once this part of my treatment is completed. I very much look forward to my visits to Benedetta and I highly recommend her. Thank you for helping me get through this hard time I really appreciate the work that you do.Moreexpand_more

Benedetta is a highly and widely qualified massage therapist with a breadth of techniques and experience she can call upon when treating me. She is an extremely skilled professional and is able to combine sports, remedial and deep tissue massage as required to sort out all my aches, pains and muscle sprains! As an ageing athlete, I will usually have a couple of areas which need her attention, on a fairly regular basis. After a session with Benedetta, I leave her very comfortable consulting room feeling so much better and often a little straighter / taller!

Superb massage therapist, has kept me moving since I had my son 13 years ago and always interested in aches/pains and getting these resolved for you as fast as possible. Benedetta keeps up with new learnings in her field and you have access to a real expert in how the muscles move and flex. Highly recommend.

Benedetta is amazing! Super knowledgable with lots and lots of experience, she always gets to the point and helps with whatever the issue. She is also a lovely person, simply wonderful!

I cannot recommend Benedetta's massages highly enough. Many years ago I became a spouse carer and and a monthly massage has been a major factor in keeping me strong and able to cope. When physical problems have arisen Benedetta has helped enormously.

I can wholeheartedly recommend Benedetta. I came to her for the first time almost a year ago. My feet ached, getting up every morning, my hips hurt when I sat for a long time and my neck was stiff from the work at the desk. Benedetta treated me very well. And when I leave the practice after the treatment, I feel light and flexible. She gave me many tips and showed me exercises that I can do at home. Benedetta has a great deal of experience and looks straight ahead where there are problems, inflammation or tensions or anything else. I have never had such a good, versatile therapist.

I visited Benedetta after suffering an injury to my ankle a few years ago. The injury caused an uncomfortable ache when walking for more than an hour or taking an aerobic fitness class. During the treatment, Benedetta was able to identify the source of the problem very quickly and proceeded to work on the area using a variety of different massage techniques which were both extremely effective and physically beneficial. Following the treatment, I was given some advice and exercises to continue with after the treatment which were also very effective. I was surprised and delighted to find that a problem I believed was incurable had improved dramatically within a very short space of time. Benedetta came highly recommended and after visiting her I understand why. She has extensive knowledge on physiology and demonstrates this throughout in a pleasant and relaxing environment. Will definitely like to come back for other treatments and would recommend her to anyone considering massage therapies.

About five years ago I thought my driving days were coming to an end. I couldn't drive for more than an hour without feeling pain and stiffness in my legs. The game's up, I thought. Then my daughter gave me a massage token as a Christmas present and it changed everything. Even after only one session with Benedetta there was enormous improvement, and over the last five years of regular massage I am fitter, more flexible in my limbs, able to drive for hours without discomfort and climb hills without struggle. So my verdict on Massage Therapies is TERRIFIC! Thanks for giving me my legs back!

I was referred to Benedetta a number of years ago for a specific lower back ailment. She helped immediately. Since then, I have attended every 4-5 weeks for a general body massage. Taking a proactive approach to back problems has been of great benefit and kept my back (and other parts) in fine condition. Thanks Benedetta, keep up the good work.

Benedetta is a thoroughly professional massage therapist who has successfully managed my aches and pains for over 11 years while at the same time has conducted her appointments in a friendly informal manner. Even when I feel in good health, I believe that having a regular treatment has prevented many a problem.
Kate Jenkins

As a person who has worked their body very hard in sport (ultra running, hill running and cross country) for over 20 years and has a less than perfect posture at my desk in addition, I rely on Benedetta to help keep me injury free for sport and comfortable. Benedetta's massages are always excellent and the work helps a lot. I mainly have deep tissue massage (neck, shoulders, back and legs - as needed) and I can honestly say that I feel Benedetta is the best of many massage therapists that I have been to - hugely knowledgeable, strong and very pleasant. The massage room is very peaceful and exceedingly clean. It's always easy to park. Highly recommended.
