Reviews of Clifton Massage

S.

Just one treatment with Chris will leave you feeling more limber, taller and more upright, but I'd recommend him for long term treatment and improvement/resolution of chronic issues. I have ongoing issues with shoulder tension and migraines, and, when I first started seeing him I could barely lift my arm above the shoulder, and got debilitating cramps and spasms at any time of stress. Despite being 8 years older now, a few treatments with Chris a year plus stretches and exercises recommend by him have improved so much, I may soon not need to see him anymore! Perhaps wishful thinking that. But I'll go back to him with any future muscular problems I have, he knows exactly where the apply pressure to release pain and you always feel like you are in very safe, expert hands in his lovely garden studio treatment room.

When the going gets tough, then tougher; Chris’s sports massage really is a must for relieving the stresses of modern life. I, personally, have gained so much from his treatment on fascia and underlying muscles that my level of stress is certainly relieved at each treatment. My posture has improved immensely has as the flexibility of my back (my yoga has benefitted). My fascia and muscle tension also is generally more relaxed. I always benefit from his treatments and inevitably leave a much-improved human being! Being a sports-masseur he intimately understands the muscles’ function, structure and their relationships and is able to manipulate at any strength level that suits. There may be necessity to return to delve deeper into the muscle layers for successful gain. He is a very friendly consummate professional who I have no hesitation in recommending at the highest level. Try it once….and I dare you not to wonder why you hadn’t tried one of his treatments before!

I have been seeing Chris for a number of years now and can honestly say he is amazing. Having suffered from neck and back issues over the years I am now living a very pain free life. As an avid gym goer I still try to see him once a month for general maintenance. He treated my 18 year old recently who could barely walk she was in so much pain. His treatment was so effective she was back on her feet in no time. My daughter Phoebe is 14years old, an elite gymnast, and competes as a Junior for Great Britain. Training 35-40hrs per week she needs to ensure her body is in tip top condition. I have increased her sessions from once to twice a week, her body really benefits from the deep tissue massage. He knows how to manipulate her body to increasing her flexibility and strength. He is a great guy and we really feel at ease with him. Having been to many therapists over the years he is most definitely the best!

I’m not sure I can improve on Nicola Johnston’s review! Chris is quite simply amazing. Not only does he resolve your issues with pain and stiffness etc but he clearly is interested and passionate about his vocation. I recently had severe back pain (which turned out to be a slipped disc and required an operation) and Chris took the time to phone me over the weekend. It was an immense help to me at the time and proves that he goes above and beyond…His knowledge is second to none and I always come out feeling 100% better than when I went in and I love the heat lamps!

It is rare that I do not wish to write a review for fear of letting Bristol's best kept secret out of the bag when it comes to massage therapy! Chris Wood is phenomenal - you enter with an issue and you leave with it resolved. He has saved me from many unnecessary medical procedures, often by working on an area of the body seemingly unrelated to the problem area. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable about human physiology, nutrition, exercise, stress management: he treats the whole body and mind holistically without possibly knowing quite how much he is giving to his patients. It is like no other massage I have ever had, I would recommend Chris unreservedly.

L. P.

I have recently had treatment from Chris for a shoulder issue. With every session I felt progressively better. After the last session I feel I can control the pain better and my shoulder has improved. During the sessions Chris clearly explained the process he was following and I felt reassured by his depth of knowledge and professionalism. I would sincerely recommend Chris to anyone with joint issues.

P. S.

Just had my first deep tissue massage with Chris and it was absolutely excellent. He’s clearly hugely experienced and was very quickly able to identify the cause of my discomfort and apply treatment, which has already helped to alleviate the symptoms, after only one session. I look forward to a couple more follow up sessions and hopefully being able to play sport pain free again. Highly recommended.

I visited Chris with a shoulder problem, which has been a problem for a few years now. I have previously tried physio through the NHS and privately, but it’s not really helped. The treatment I have received from Chris has been amazing! He is so knowledgeable and explains everything perfectly, it’s made a real difference to my shoulder, which I now have more movement in and hardly any pain. I would highly recommend Chris for his ability and professionalism.

S. T.

I went to Clifton Massage after a year of not being able to walk very well. I had suffered a knee injury and was struggling. After the first treatment, I immediately felt the benefits and am now 3 treatments in and almost walking normally. I am absolutely delighted and cannot recommend enough. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and I have complete confidence in him. Even my Chiropractor can see the difference.

K. H.

I would highly recommend Chris and his deep tissue/sports massage. After a few sessions my shoulder and neck pain are markedly reduced and my related headaches are all but gone. I feel more free in movement than I have in years. Chris is very knowledgeable and explains what he is doing and why as he works. I feel completely at ease due to his friendly and professional manner and am impressed at how quickly I have felt lasting results.

I've been seeing Chris for sports massages for over 5 years now and his knowledge and expertise means I always benefit. I have a trekking holiday coming up and my training walks had been causing some discomfort to my knees. After the last treatment, I completed a 22 km walk with 1000m ascent without so much as a twinge. I have recommended him to many friends and colleagues, however he is so in demand that you need to book him promptly! Professional and knowledgeable and loves what he does...

N. E.

Chris is one of the best bodyworkers I've ever received treatment from, and I suffer tremendously with painful complications from Scoliosis. When I booked my first appointment, he took the time to reach out to me by phone to fully understand my condition which not only put me at ease, but assured me of his professionalism and experience. I always leave a session with Chris feeling pain-free, grounded and reenergised and I highly recommend working with him.

A. G.

Professional, kind, non-judgmental and very knowledgeable. I can not recommend Chris highly enough. I have been nursing for 20 years and triathlon is my main sporting interest. Chris has successfully treated my various sports injuries and lower back problems over the last few years. He always takes the time to listen to you, assess and treat you in a manner that fully puts you at ease. Chris has excellent A&P knowledge and is therefore able to explain each step of his treatment and will provide very specific stretches for you to do at home. I have every confidence in Chris. Thanks again Chris for working miracles.

E. H.

Chris is exceptionally good at what he does. After years of acute back pain I have finally found the remedy. A treatment with Chris is relaxing, prescriptive and informative. I am now happily running and functioning well at work due to regular deep tissue massage. I cannot recommend him more highly. I have been to most of Bristol’s chiro/osteo/massage practitioners and Chris is hands down the best.

If you are looking for a highly skilled, knowledgeable, professional, look no further than Chris Wood. From my first session I quickly became aware of Chris’s high level of skill, which is exemplary, e.g knowledge of anatomy and the impact of the muscle structures on the body’s mobility and functioning. When Chris works with me he explains the specific treatment process and always ensures I am in control. From the outset I have felt relaxed and have total trust in the treatment I am receiving. I have experienced treatments from a range of practitioners, chiropractors, osteopaths, masseurs, however I never have experienced such excellent treatment which is resulting in ongoing positive outcomes.

Chris Wood knows his stuff! He's always careful to ensure you're receiving the correct level of treatment and goes through a thorough warm up routine before getting down to the serious stuff. You really feel the benefit of a visit and has really helped my poor posture and associated shoulder issues. Recommended!!

B. H.

Chris Wood is very skilled deep tissue therapist who clearly knows what he is doing and is able to adapt his treatments to your needs. He can really help with chronic problems and is clearly very dedicated to his work. Chris has been helping me with tension in my neck and shoulders and lower back due to bad posture and desk working and has given me some really great stretches so I can help myself. I highly recommend!

S. W.

Chris is superb. His deep tissue massages are excellent, and he always makes time to discuss what’s needed and to give advice. Has really helped my back - giving much more freedom in exercise - and I would recommend without question.

T. O.

Chris has completely sorted my chronic shoulder issues. His knowledge and advice goes beyond the normal sports massage session. Extremely worth it, easy online booking and great price. Have recommended him to everyone I know, really really recommend anyone to go to him. Outstanding service and professionalism. Thanks!

A. B.

Best sports massage l've ever had and consequently been seeing Chris regularly for the past couple of years. He's sorted out several muscular issues. I've already recommended him to many friends and colleagues, who have also had great experiences.

F. B.

Just had my third brilliant session with Chris who is addressing the huge myofascial distortions and knots I've developed over about ten years due to knee pain and a hip replacement. He's going slowly and carefully, never going too far in one session but making a huge difference already. His knowledge, understanding and skill are all superb and I can't recommend him highly enough. Just read all these similar reviews!

B. A. M. A.

I’ve been seeing Chris for years and I can honestly say I’m so glad I found him! Not only is his massages incredible his knowledge of the body is amazing. I’m always so pleased with how my body and mind feels after and always look forward to my next.

L. S.

I have been coming to Chris for around the last six months and feel very lucky I found him. He is an outstanding practitioner. Very knowledgeable and experienced and also gives very helpful advice to optimise health. Delighted with the massage treatments I have received, would strongly recommend!

M. M.

I’ve been having treatment with Chris for the last 3 years, very knowledgeable and recommend him highly for treatment, he has helped me immensely with my back and general “wear & tear” . He is a great professional and has been available out of hours when needed.

C. B.

Playing competitive golf and training for an Iron Man - I was looking for some added help to get me through the training. Within just two sessions I have noticed a remarkable difference in my range of movement in my neck and back which were particularly stiff through intensive training. Chris is a highly professional and would gladly recommend to all.

I've been a domiciliary footcare practitioner for some 8 years. My work involves a lot of bending forwards putting strain on the upper back and arms. I have consequently suffered from severe pain and discomfort for almost 4 years now. There are lots of people out there offering "cures". You name it and I've tried it. But none of them really work. I knew immediately I met Chris that he really understands the human body; he treats the body as a whole and not just the part that hurts. The treatment together with his advice has really helped. For example the pain in my hands and wrists has been completely alleviated. We're still working on the other problems but each session seems to build steadily on what has already been achieved and I'm able to continue working when at one time I thought I would have to give up. Postscript: Its now over a year and a half since I was fortunate enough to discover Chris and he really is better at relieving pain than anybody else I've come across. I'm still using him regularly and I haven't had any bouts of the excruciating pain that I experienced before.

T. H.

I've been to Clifton Massage for several treatments and I must say that I have received the best remedial massage that I have ever experienced. I suffer from Ankylosing Spondylitis and back pain is a common symptom of this. I've tried many osteopaths and chiropractors over the years, but nothing comes close to the results that Chris Wood at Clifton Massage achieves. His understanding of the muscular system is truly amazing. I particularly like the way that he explains which muscles he's working on and why. My experience of this treatment has not only been outstanding but the results have been long lasting. Highly recommended

I. A.

Chris is excellent at his job. There is no doubt about it. Professional, knowledgeable and personable. He takes the time to explain what he is doing and how it helps. He has magic hands and really does know how to help and heal. I highly recommend him and keep doing so. He is the best in Clifton, if not Bristol.

J. B.

If you want the best, most professional therapeutic sports massage, then Chris Wood is the person to see. His knowledge and understanding of the body - muscles, tendons, ligaments etc is outstanding and you will leave feeling amazing and your aches and pains forgotten.

D. K.

Having Completed Ironman three times, several marathons and numerous ultra marathons, I have seen and experienced too many average deep tissue massages - and then I found Chris. His knowledge, experience and execution is second to none. The difference that an hour with Chris can make to my posture, DOMS, muscle range and movement is remarkable. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Dave Kelly Ultra runner

R. K.

Chris is a complete professional. He is very knowledgable and applies this knowledge by giving a bespoke service suitable for your individual needs. I started receiving treatment when training for my first marathon. I would not have made it to the start line, let alone the finish without his healing hands. A complete treat for mind, body and soul.

A. J.

I have been seeing Chris for approximately three years his professionalism, skills and wise words are exceptional. My range of Movement and function are immensely improved. He’s also got some great playlists!

H. T.

Chris is a very caring and helpful person, his professionalism and knowledge is remarkable. As a Powerlifter I am often in need of a sports massage and Chris is exactly what I was looking for. I can't recommend Chris enough.

M. V.

Highly recommended!!! Chris is a great professional! I have been suffering from back pain for many years and since I start having treatment from him, the pain is completely gone. More than worthy it!!

C. S.

Been going to see Chris now for the last 9 months or so for lower back pain. In that time he's worked wonders. A personal service and very highly recommended. Will continue with his help for the foreseeable future. Extremely knowledgeable in his field and thorough.

C. R.

I have only been seeing Chris for approx. 3 weeks, but he's already made such a big difference to a back problem that I've been suffering from for many years. He's very knowledgable and fantastic at explaining what the problem is and how it needs to be treated. I wish I had found Chris years ago!

L. E.

Chris, has healing hands, after a few treatments, my back pain has properly gone. He is very skilled and I love his eclectic music !

G. B.

Chris is an expert in his field and has managed to get me back to running pain free and achieving new PB’s..!! I can not recommend him highly enough.

A. D.

This guy's a miracle worker. My back's now straight, I no longer have a bad back in bed, I'm more mobile than I've ever been and my fitness levels have increased. How he explains things is clear and presice, he's a true professional and I could not recommend him enough.
