Reviews of Ben Tolson Therapies

T. L.

I’ve been to a lot of clinics across Bristol and my experience with Ben is one of the best yet. In an hour, he gave me a full neck, back and shoulder deep tissue massage and also gave me some hip treatment to help with my runners knee. Topped off with a few chiropractic adjustments at the end and I felt like I’d had a thoroughly comprehensive and professional treatment. Have already booked to come back again.

R. R.

Ben is very knowledgeable and used a range of techniques to stop the pain in my lower back. I walked in to the clinic in pain and walked out without pain - what more could I ask??

P. H.

Ben diagnosed my lower back issues straightaway. With the treatment given and exercises to do at home, the tension was gone within a week. Ben is friendly, knowledgeable and professional. I would highly recommend.

M. T.

Ben has treated me for various injuries over the past few years using a mix of acupuncture and deep tissue massage. He is very knowledgeable, professional and easy to talk to. He explains the injury and how he will treat it. His website makes booking appointments very easy and straightforward.

J. W.

I saw Ben for the first time today. He very quickly assessed some issues with my back and was able to relieve tension by manipulating specific areas really well. I'll be going back for more sessions and recommend highly.

E. R.

I recently had a session with Ben who addressed my various different injuries. He was very knowledgeable, compassionate and communicated very clearly on the next steps I need to take for my recovery plan. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone.

R. D.

I’ve been to Ben many times over the last few years, he’s professional, personable and has always managed to sort out any issues. I highly recommend him

M. C.

Having lived with neck and back pain for 2 years and exhausting other routes, even after the first session with Ben I felt a big improvement. Glad I found out about him, would definitely recommend.

R. K.

After a couple of sessions at a chiropractor elsewhere in Bristol, I was recommended Ben by a friend. I had whiplash and an ongoing knee issue, and Ben was fantastic in diagnosing and treating both. A combination of deep massage and manipulation with follow up exercises have really helped. He is clearly knowledgeable and I didn't get the divisive "holistic" treatment that chiros offer, but actual tangible results. Will definitely be coming back to Ben in future!

D. H.

Referred to Ben by GP for acupuncture to treat a shoulder injury. This was my first ever experience of acupuncture and Ben made me feel at ease immediately. I found Ben to be professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He emailed me links to videos of exercises to do at home and I will be booking a follow up appointment.

J. t.

I made an appointment with Ben with chest and shoulder pain that didn't seem to be going away, and the doctors didn't seem to have any suggestions. At the first appointment Ben went straight to the area of pain and did an adjustment which instantly gave me huge relief! Since then I have continued to go to Ben whenever needed, normally thanks to too many hours sitting at a desk typing! and he has continued to help each time. I also developed a really painful jaw and face ache due to a period of bad posture and stress which Ben managed to ease with a combination of acupuncture and chiropractic care. I now look forward to these appointments, not just because I completely trust that Ben will be able to help, but also because he is such a great guy who clearly enjoys helping others.

D. S.

1st visit to see Ben was super simple Less than 15 min assessment and problem was diagnosed, treatment given same day and lower back pain is gone Ben was very easy to convers with and found the problem immediately, I would highly recommend 👌

H. H.

Recommended by my personal trainer (she also uses Ben). Had a problem with a swollen ankle for some weeks which I thought was an Achilles problem - wrong. Ben carried out a detailed assessment and concluded I had suffered an inversion sprain. Deep tissue massage followed and I am now wrapped up in Rocktape. Ben emailed me some useful exercises and looking forward to next visit in ten days to assess progress. Recommend Ben for anyone with knee, foot or hip problems. At 73 I am confident of a full recovery.

L. H.

Was suffering quite badly with tension headaches. Have had treatment with Ben for about 6 months now and I've been feeling like a new woman. Much less pain and tension in my neck; no discomfort day to day and much more able to get on with things. Ben had been very understanding, has known exactly what's been needed, and is always patient and cheerful.

B. A.

I had an initial consultation and treatment with Ben for help with a chronic headache. I was referred by a friend and am very glad I was - Ben was friendly, informative, and put me at ease as he found out how he could best help, started a treatment plan and (importantly) explained what he was doing and why it might help relieve symptoms. I’m optimistic about returning!

C. S.

I run a landscape gardening company . Ben has been treating me for years. As a middle aged man doing hard manual labour day in day out , my muscles and joints take a right battering . Ben is always proffesional and informative and demonstrates great knowledge and skill when you are in the treatment room. I find his approach of gentle ( and sometimes not so gentle when necessary) manipulation combined with his expert knowledge of acupuncture and associated treatments an absolute godsend . I have been to several other practices on the past , but find Ben's informative approach and ability to put one at ease second to none .

N. J.

Ben was very professional and friendly, I walked out of the clinic finally feeling pain free after months of tightness in my upper back. I would highly recommend Bens services

g. c.

After one session with Ben my lower back and arm feels so much better, I have had pain for months, the deep tissue massage worked really well, I will be returning for more treatment!

K. S.

Ben is a very professional and friendly person . His knowledge about the human body is incredible . He makes you feel at ease during your therapy .

S. T.

Visited Ben Tolson for the first time. He was very knowledgable and friendly. I left feeling lots better and he has provided me with some stretching exercises and plan going forward. Definitelty recommend his professional and expert service. Will be visiting him regularly.

C. L.

Ben is a confident and highly competent practitioner in a variety of therapies. He made me feel at ease immediately with his calm and friendly approach. He has knowledge and skills in diagnosing and treating problems and talked me through everything giving me an informed choice for further treatment and self care. I could feel and see the difference in mobility straight after treatment. Highly recommended.

J. B.

Ben has a wealth of experience and knowledge and employs a wide range of techniques to improve motion and comfort. He put me at ease very quickly . Highly recommended.

J. G.

1st visit to Ben, months of a rotator-cuff problem - manipulation, acupuncture and an exercise plan and I felt instant pain relief and improved mobility. Very knowledgable and helpful - highly recommended!

R. B.

I can't really find fault with the experience I've had with Ben. He's thorough, personable and clearly knowledgable and skilled in his field of deep tissue massage. He is able to adapt each session's treatment to how I am feeling that particular day and I can't think of a time when I haven't left feeling better. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ben and his services to anyone!

L. L.

Ben has helped me with neck pain and my husband with shoulder issues. The sessions are pleasant and Ben is very sociable and easy to talk to. He sends exercises via e mail and has an easy website to navigate and book appointments.

K. S.

Ben is the only person who could ever release a chronic trapped nerve in my neck. I now visit him occasionally when needed and his treatments are always 100% effective. Highly recommend.

L. F.

Ben helped me out with a really nasty shoulder and upper arm problem using a mix of deep tissue massage, acupuncture, and specific exercises (for use at home). I appreciated not only the effective physical treatment, but Ben's informative, personable, and thoughtful approach. I certainly recommend his services.

L. J.

Ben was really down to earth and made me feel really at ease during the treatment. He gave great advice on stretches and helped me feel confident that I could reach my goal in marathon training. Definitely would recommend!

L. D. T.

Big yes from me ! I've been having issues with my knee for several years now and did not get much help from GP with the issues. Ben straight away made me feel welcome and comfortable in his practice. He is working on my knee now and I can already see the benifits from going there after only a few sessions. I would 100% recommend Ben !

S. C.

I am a competitive athlete, with the usual niggle and occasional injuries. I go to Ben on a weekly basis and have done so for almost 2 years, mainly as a recovery and preventative measure to ensure I stay on track. What Ben does works, he is the best therapist I have ever been to. Ben is superb. He has treated me with massage, acupuncture, sports massage - which got me a significant PB!! (Personal Best) which was stunning. He is hugely knowledgeable, expert in all the areas he practises, and incredibly humble about his own abilities. He tunes well into his clients' needs, both physically and mentally, his expert knowledge is wonderful to experience - and it is very interesting to understand about his treatment, and he continues to develop his knowledge with a deep interest in his field, which is fascinating to hear about and also wonderful to be treated by someone who is constantly improving thier already wide knowledge and expertise. Please do work with Ben, it will be a gift to you.

S. H.

Ben is excellent. I had a shoulder impingement and, with his help, it is so much better now. I thoroughly recommend him.

C. C.

Had a great first session today with Ben Really thorough holistic assessment and treatment in only an hour also including homework exercises to further enhance the session Super friendly and knowledgeable and put me at ease despite the intensity of the treatment Looking forward to going back!

E. P.

I've used Ben many time over the years for various things and found him to be consistently excellent. Ben has a broad set of skills and has been able to provide relief where others have failed. More than once I've opted to go to Ben rather than use free alternatives through work because he's better.

c. e.

Ben is an excellent therapist who has resolved several of my aches and pains over the last few years. I am most grateful for his treatment of a long term neck/shoulder pain which has been completely eradicated. He has a friendly and approachable manner and I recommend him to my friends.

J. L.

Ben is a very talented, knowledgeable and intuitive therapist. He always applies the right technique to relieve the muscular pain I usually suffer from. Ben, on many occasions, improved my mobility, reduced pain to zero and got rid of tension headaches. Ben is a unique massage therapist and I can't recommend him highly enough!

A. C.

After suffering from frozen shoulder in my left shoulder for over a year, I went to see Ben when the same symptoms began to develop in my right shoulder. He treated me with a combination of deep tissue massage, acupuncture and exercises. He warned me at the beginning that it would be hard work, and a painful process, which it was, but the treatment definitely worked. From the first session with Ben I could start to feel an improvement, and the shoulder he treated has recovered in a quarter of the time it would have taken without his help. At all times I found Ben to be friendly, helpful and professional and would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who needs a massage or acupuncture therapist.

T. P.

I would highly recommend Ben. I had been suffering with a trapped nerve and sciatica for years. I had tried numerous therapists with no relieve until I tried Ben who sorted me out! Brilliant! Thank you Ben!

L. G.

Came highly recommended by a friend and did not disappoint. I felt very at ease and in good hands. Ben has a terrific reputation and you can see why. Just grateful to have found him.

J. K.

Ben is highly knowledgeable and very effective. I saw him for sports massages before running the Mont Blanc 42k Marathon. Prior to the race I had pain in the bottom of my left foot, runner's knee, and a tight IT band. Ben knew exactly what to do and every visit it seemed he was able to fix something new. During the race, I was able to run for over 8 hours, injury-free across varying terrain which I put down to Ben's recommendations for exercises and his treatments. Ben isn't just any sports masseuse, he understands how the body connects in different ways having been trained in a variety of therapies, and takes holistic approach to dealing with injuries/niggles by trying to find the root of the issue. He is friendly and makes you feel at ease. I could not recommend Ben more!

L. P.

I have been treated by Ben several times and wouldn't hesitate in recommending him. He is knowledgable and uses a range of treatments to relieve my hip and back pain, including massage, adjustments and acupuncture. He is down to earth and makes you feel very at ease during the treatment. He has also advised me about exercise and stretches that will help self manage my pain from home.

J. E.

Ben is friendly and highly qualified in a variety of disciplines from deep tissue sports massage to acupuncture. The first thing I noticed on leaving after my first deep tissue massage was that I felt several inches taller, realigned and just felt fabulous. Recently, I've dramatically upped my fitness workouts and have experienced the inevitable sports injury, Ben has really helped me to regain mobility with his treatment, expertise and knowledge. Coupled with some personal stretch and rehab routines given to me by Ben I'm now training again and looking forward to running competitively and returning to the new football season. If you're serious about your sport or you sit for long hours at a desk I would highly recommend regular appointments with Ben.

N. B.

I have been seeing Ben for leg issues for some time now and the therapy applied has improved them dramatically. From stubborn calf muscles to knee joint pain , he has helped alleviate the pain and discomfort enormously. I would certainly recommend Ben to anyone with similar problems without hesitation

M. K.

I've been seeing Ben for about a couple of years now. His tune-ups, as I call them, are always spot on and really help alleviate my symptoms. The acupuncture has been a particular success. Ben handles you with confidence and skill and gets to the heart of the problem.

S. T.

Ben was very knowledgable and explained a reason behind the benefits of the session. He also was honest about how often I would need to return to receive the best from my treatment.

K. I.

Ben really knows his stuff, continually learning and developing his knowledge I would highly recommend his sports massage and acupuncture treatments to gain results in an effective and supportive way. Personally I book with Ben every month to keep my body in the best shape and avoid any injuries to allow me to race and be active which I love. Professionally it is key my body is strong for my work, and if I am away I will refer my clients to Ben who are happy to see him, which is great. If you are looking for a good sports therapist who will improve your conditions and performance, book Ben.

I would highly recommend Ben to anyone! Having suffered with a bad back for years and going to various people with no success, Ben has really helped my back and neck and also got me through pregnancy where I worried it would get much worse, but I feel absolutely great! A lovely guy and fantastic massage therapist!

S. M.

Really pleased with this service. I have used Ben a number of times to help with back pain from my active job. I highly recommend him to my colleagues also to family members.

M. G. H.

This appointment was one of the most useful meeting in my life. I have visited several doctors and rheumatology and they always had said me the same "you are ok" but I knewed this crunches and pain couldn't be. He just discovered what happen to me after a few minutes with some movements. The manner from Ben was really kind and pleasant. He took the time to make me understand what's the situation and tried to explain some solutions, and I just went with a free check-up Highly recommended.

W. C.

Being a landscape gardener and very active outside of work, my body has picked up some on going issues. I have visited numerous therapists in the past but I knew from my first visit with Ben he was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. After my first session with him there were vast improvements and since then I have made regular visits. I couldn't recommend him enough!

T. C.

Ben is a really intuitive healer. Being trained in a variety of therapies he is well worth the money. He is calm, centred and attentive and I always feel much lighter after a session with Ben.

n. b.

Ben has been a great help in sorting out my back problems. I would certainly recommend his services to anyone seeking a first class sports therapist.

E. M. G.

I have been coming to Ben for a combination of deep tissue massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic manipulation for around three years and would thoroughly recommend him. Having suffered complex injuries (piriformis syndrome, scar tissue, erosion of sacroiliac joint) from dancing professionally, I have seen numerous specialists, physiotherapists, acupuncturists and sports masseurs. Ben has been the only one to alleviate the pain I have been in and really understand the physiology of the combination of my injuries. I now see Ben around once every two months to keep on top of things.

J. P.

I would recommend Ben to anyone! Having suffered with a bad plantar fasciitis, he has really helped myself and my feet. He is very good with acupuncture! I worried it would hurt a lot, but I felt absolutely fearless in his hand! Lovely manner to perform his actions.

H. L.

I've had knots in my back for years which has caused discomfort and aching. I'm so happy to have found someone who over a period of sessions, is working through this build up in a really logical and effective way. Through deep tissue massage and stretching the muscles I'm feeling much better and combined with the acupuncture, feel like I'm finally getting some consistent relief and prevention to further build up. I've tried lots of different massages and nothing has worked like this. Ben is personable and professional and I can't recommend him highly enough.

T. P.

Ben has helped me to play Sort again and lead an active lifestyle that I had not been able to do for a few years due to my back problems. I have recommended his service to friends previously and will continue to do so

S. T.

Ben is a great guy that combines a broad knowledge base, skilled hands and the application of logic and common sense to deliver successful solutions to any issues I attend with. A huge bonus is his personable manner which means the atmosphere is relaxed and I enjoy our sessions! I always recommend Ben to all my friends and family.

N. Y.

I went to Ben debilitated and in the time he estimated was fixed and back running marathons. All you could ask for. An expert and a really nice guy. Highly recommended.

T. W.

Thorough, knowledge and will help resolve your issues with a friendly manner.

H. F.

Has already helped my partner with several back and shoulder issues to great effect. For me, after just one session my back is noticeably better, and that's after 18 years of endless discomfort with a degenerated disc. Highly recommended.
