Reviews of Massage N8
T. B.
Manuel is excellent, hands down the best physio/sports/massage therapist that I have seen. He really helped sort my shoulder out after overuse at the gym. Highly recommended.
M. A.
I went to Manuel with a postural muscular issue that had given me almost constant headaches for several years and I had tried several other therapies (NHS physio, osteopathy, Alexander technique). Manuel has such a deep understanding of the body and was able to explain the issue in terms of my whole muscular system within the first session. He gave me exercises which have significantly reduced my headaches and thanks to him I'm aware of the cause of the issue and the route out of it. His massages were also really effective and he's a lovely guy with great conversation! I would definitely recommend Manuel.
D. C.
I went in with a bad knee injury- Manuel did an incredible job in sorting me out and explaining clearly what had happened and gave me exercises to do at home-my knee is improving every day and I would definitely recommend him!
J. K.
Manuel is a skilled practitioner and healer.. he has helped me with two physical issues and I am confident in recommending him to other people who have injury problems.
N. T.
Manuel was great and well worth the visit. He really got to the heart of the issue with my lower back: explaining what was going on, alleviating pain and giving me preventative exercises. Strongly recommend.
K.
After trying various other routes, including doctors, at much time and cost, Manuel immediately diagnosed my problem (which has been confirmed by xray and medical report) and recommended next steps.
Very highly recommended.
C. C.
Manuel was quickly able to diagnose my problem and apply some treatment. He also was very good at explaining the underlying issue in layman terms and what exercises I need to perform at home. He's also a very nice guy. I would recommend!
B. B.
I have had several treatment sessions with Manuel, he is a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional. He uses a combination of techniques to identify and ease pain and diagnoses a long term problem I’ve had with my pelvis which has been affecting my lower back. With his combination of hands on treatment and a comprehensive exercise plan, I went from agony to being pain-free in a week. I now also have the tools to prevent a recurrence. He also has a wicked sense of humour! Would highly recommend.
E. H.
First class massage. Manuel took the time to examine me to suss out the root causes of my pain, and explained what he was going to do. The massage itself was therefore focussed exactly where I needed it, and he gave me some exercises to do at home to try and keep my body working properly. Highly recommend and will certainly be going back

I went to N8 after working from home for 3months without a proper desk. I had curved my spine and had extreme tightness in my shoulders/traps/lats.
My numbers in the gym had diminished specifically on my left hand side and were not improving - it felt like my left chest/shlder/tricep were operating underwater or in treacle. After the first session i felt better and the numbers in the gym started to improve literally every week. I would absolutely recommend Manuel and N8!!
S. S.
After reading the great reviews I booked an appointment with Manuel to treat exercise induced knee pain.
Within a few moments he identified the root cause of my pain, one that explains my hip flexor injuries over the last few years, all occurring in one side. I was particularly impressed as I’ve seen a few physiotherapists through BUPA for my hip flexor injuries and none had picked up on the root cause but only treated the symptom.
He provided practical tips to avoid recurrence and retrain my muscle memory. Apparently I’ve been doing squats wrong for years!
I was completely put at ease and immediately felt better after he relieved the pressure points, almost like walking on air.
He’s extremely knowledgeable, personable and professional. I thoroughly recommend him.
P. K.
If you're in need of fixing and looking for someone who really knows what they're doing and how to do it, then I can highly recommend you book in with Manuel. As a former therapist i'm pretty picky about massages and as a full time gardener I'm more often than not in need of treatment... so finding Manuel has been a complete god-send. He is incredibly knowledgeable and extremely capable and made an enormous difference in the hour of treatment that he gave me. Strong, no-nonsense therapeutic massage and manipulation, he sorted out a dislocation and put pretty much everything else to rights with a very thorough treatment. He also advised me on ways to work better to avoid further injury and strain and I left there feeling pretty sprightly (for the first time in months). I will definitely be returning. Thank you Manuel!

I had been nursing injuries after a fall for a few weeks during lockdown. Manuel was very quick to spot what the problem/s were and commence working on them whilst also providing me with a wealth of information about how my joints work, and tips for how to keep on top of my weak spots. Can totally recommend Manuel. Very efficient and knowledgeable.
E. C.
I have been visiting many physios and doctors as I had a pain on my right knee. I visited many specialists around the area and they couldn't tell me exactly the problem. I have been practising sports for 10 years and my knee couldn't take it anymore. As soon as Manuel performed a couple of tests and explained my pain, he told me a diagnose and in the same session relieved it greatly. He will send you adapted exercises so you can keep things in place. He doesn't waste a second. He explains while performing rotations. I would highly recommend to visit him.
G. S.
Absolutely outstanding. I entered Manuel's studio with lower back pain and major worries about being able to keep playing sports/going to the gym, and a hour later I walked out fully fixed and with a number of exercises to help address my posture and muscular issues in the longer term. Manuel goes into great detail explaining where the issue comes from, provides massage therapy, and a few exercises, and I recommend him heartily.
H. E.
I’ve relied on professional massage to improve and preserve my health for over 17 years, and Manuel is by far the most talented therapist I have ever met. He is strong, capable and immensely knowledgeable about the body, and I always leave his practice feeling transformed.
I had my first appointment with Manuel when I was experiencing intense pain in both shoulders, which restricted my movement. After one session, my mobility was restored and the discomfort vanished, thanks to his skill and intuitive ability to seek out problem areas in the body. An excellent listener, Manuel takes time to hear what his clients have to say about their bodies, their needs and their comfort before and during treatments. He also the consummate professional and will make you feel relaxed and at ease the moment you walk through the door.
S. K.
Manuel was able to work out what the problem was and after one massage greatly improve my mobility and reduce my pain. He recommended some exercises to help for the future too. Couldn't recommend him more highly.
R. H.
I’d be lost without Manuel. He helped me prepare for my double hip replacement and has improved my rehab immeasurably. If you want a "pretend" massage, he’s not for you. He beats me up (in a good way!) and helps me get my body working the way it should be. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
R. R.
Manuel was recommended to me by a friend after I injured my knees training for Tough Mudder. I had 3 sessions with him and was delighted with the outcome. His advice, treatment and professionalism were exactly what I needed at a time when I wasn't sure I would be able to participate in the event. I would definitely recommend him if you have any kind of sports injury or even if you are looking for a massage.
J. W.
I just had my first session and couldn't speak higher of the experience - Manuel identified a number of root causes for the back pain ive been suffering for quite some time, talked me through each aspect of the treatment and gave me a number of ongoing exercises to take away with me to work on at home. I've already booked up my next session.
M. B.
I went to Manuel for a 15 min neck and shoulder massage, as I was unable to turn my head fully to the left. Manuel was not only able to provide an immediate improvement but has, in subsequent sessions enabled a complete realignment of my neck, shoulders back and chest and given me a series of simple exercises which continue to improve and maintain my physical condition and posture. All treatment has been accompanied by a detailed explanation of what is being done (and why) so that I have felt fully participant in the process, rather than merely a passive subject. The decision to consult Manuel has turned out to be a significantly beneficial investment. Can't recommend highly enough!
A. M.
Last night I slept comfortably for the first time in years!! My lower spine has been aggravated along with my hips for months and months but when I turned on to my side in bed there was no tension or feeling of pressure. I was so shocked that after one sports massage with Manuel my back pain had disappeared. Manuel was professional and really thorough in assessing the problems with my back and hips and then tailored the sport massage to deal with my needs. A very happy client who will be returning!!
C. F.
Manuel is a magician with an incredible understanding of physiology. I have been in at least half a dozen times with different reasons (bad neck from moving, bad quad from hockey, general problems from too much time at the desk etc.) Every time I’ve come out with fixed muscles feeling refreshed and relaxed - no left over niggles that I’ve had with other massages.
He also always takes the time to explain exercises and stretches that can help with ongoing improvement. I’ve been to a lot of masseurs over the years but will be sticking with Manuel whenever I can. Thanks Manuel!
E. M.
I have scoliosis and whilst I've had several levels "fixed" with titanium the thoracic curve remains.
That, coupled with the fact that my body is rather more asymmetrical than most, translates into everything from niggles and spasms to chronic pain to cumulative and ongoing issues such as hip and knee problems and just about everything inbetween.
I've been trying to find someone with Manuel's expertise and technique for a long time, and am thrilled to have finally discovered a therapist who intuitively knows in which area and at what pressure to work.
I felt better immediately, and the longer term effects of just one visit are still making themselves known in my reduced pain, increased flexibility and renewed ability to run.
I would highly, highly recommend him to anyone looking for a friendly, professional and effective practitioner.
I. C.
Manuel is a very talented therapist. I was feeling pain in my legs and feet and in a couple of sessions he was able to reduce very considerably the pain. He was also able to understand holistically my problem and recommended me some exercise that are improving my general condition.
K. P.
Describing Manuel as a masseur, in my opinion, greatly understates the service he actually provides. I’ll explain by recounting my process.
Having been pretty active, but very overweight for many years I decided in Sept 2015 that enough was enough and I needed to get into shape. So I signed up for a Land’s End -> John O’Groats bike ride for June of 2016.
Quite quickly having greatly increased my bike miles, time in gym and having a history of fat bloke 5-a-side injuries (calf / hamstring / repeat..), I started having niggles, stiffness, and back pain. I realised I needed to consider the body more holistically and should probably consider a regular massage to stay on top of the tension.
The first session with Manuel we spent as much time discussing my (bad) posture, both on and off the bike and deciding on a series of exercises to strengthen, and shape better the right bits at the right time. This was not a one time conversation either, as I progressed so did the conversation and homework :). His range of knowledge was extensive and ever growing, he would research cycling specific aspects of improvement outside of our now regular sessions.
Needless to say I did the 1100 odd miles this June without issue. It was tough at times but at no point did I have any sense of injury or BACK PAIN !!!! There is no doubt that that my sessions with Manuel were a large part of the preparation process. He kept me feeling good on the bike so I could train, I now sit and breathe differently, and even generate more power on the bike.
So when I refer a friend to Manuel I tell them he is my sports therapist. I don’t really know if that is the right term but he is so much more than a masseur and his ambition and enthusiasm for your goals will move you faster along than just a decent rub down.
Can’t recommend him highly enough !!!!
S. H.
I have had recurring neck, and chronic back pain for the past 15 years. Over the years I think I have seen over 25 specialists, what struck me instantly was Manuel knowledge of the body and his passion for fixing it when i had my first session - what he said to me made sense - his ability to look at the main postural weaknesses of my body and his program has meant I am now experiencing far less pain - and I'm fitter and more body conscious then before. My advise is - if you have the commitment to the simple exercise program - then you will achieve your goals with Manuel. And he's a Top man aswell !
C. C.
I've had two pregnancy massages with Manuel to date and his technique is superb. HIs training and knowledge surpass any other masseuse I've experienced. During pregnancy masseuses are often tentative and unsure, many altogether reluctant to do massage at a time when you need it most! Manuel is confident as he clearly understands physiology and offers me pain relief lasting many weeks after each visit. I'll be going again
n. n.
I have been going to Manuel for massage treatments since he started at YMCA Crouch end. I see him at least once a month, as I exercise 6 days a week most weeks.
What Manuel offers, which is exceptional and impressive, is a highly sensitive and profound intuition and understanding of the body, the presenting signs and symptoms, as well as an insightfulness into the link between the mind and the body.
Manuel offers massage treatment which is clinically therapeutic. His anatomical knowledge is extensive and impressive. Manuel's diagnostic skills and abilities are both astute and accurate. He is a trustworthy and genuine Practitioner.
After a massage treatment I experience lasting benefits both mentally and bodily, there is a marked and significant release; a liberating detoxification on all levels.
Manuel is a Natural and Authentic Healer and a Brilliant Masseur.
R. L.
Deep muscle massage and core muscle strengthening through planned and tailored exercise has resulted in a remarkable improvement to my chronic lower back pain, posture and weak painful muscles, which I have had for several years. I'm so grateful for Manuel's guidance and for his help in putting me on the road to recovery.
D. B.
Very professional massage to help fix a shoulder injury.
A lot of good exercises and stretches given
Manuel is very friendly
D. W.
I'm a veteran of many sports massages over the last 20 years, and I just had one of the best from Manuel. Really excellent technique, he finds problem areas and works them while also giving an all-round relaxing experience.
E. L.
Manuel is all round brilliant in getting rid of back pain! He can give a great massage to manage the pain and also helps you build up muscle strength and core stability and tailors exercises to your needs so that the pain gradually stops altogether.
L. G.
I chose to go for a massage with Manuel as it is so local that I could be home in minutes and just relax. I had really achey shoulders and he tailored the massage to work on that area, but also ironed out other problem areas. I liked that he used a combination of techniques. Also he was very knowledgeable and gave me tips on how to stretch. I actually left feeling energised and didn't need to flop on the sofa!
R. P.
Recently had a massage as I suffer quite badly with neck & shoulder tension from poor posture and stressful job. Decided to have a massage as I had a big job interview coming up. Manuel was very knowledgable and tailored his treatment to my individual needs. Would highly recommend.
C. M.
Manuel is the absolute best - reliable, professional, knowledgable, sociable. I met with him every two weeks for a deep tissue sports massage, and I can't recommend him highly enough. Lifesaver!!!
T. E.
Suffering with sciatica for 6 months and went to see Manuel to see if he could release the pain a little. I found him to be far more thoughtful than the other professionals I had seen (and there's been a few). He initially said let me think about it because your symptoms/posture doesn't seem right. This in itself was a refreshing change as most people have given me a standard response that hasnt helped me. I have had two sessions to date and have worked on my pelvis position as advised. The pain sometimes feels better but it's hard to say. Either way I do feel more positive than I have done for
a long time.
N. G.
I was in terrible pain, having put out my hip, and could hardly walk. Thanks to Manuel, two sessions and one week later I am almost fully mobile again. He works very intuitively, and in collaboration with his clients. He also gave me some simple but very effective exercises. Highly recommended.
t. p.
I had a long term shoulder impingement, Manuel was able to diagnose me pretty much on sight, and after just 2 appointments, and following his sound advice and instructions out of the massage room, I was back to 100% in a surprisingly short time.
R. L.
I've recently turned 50 and been training hard for my first Olympic Distance Triathlon and a charity 11-a-side football match.
I had a great massage with Massage N8 that took away all the tightness, aches and pains.
Had a good chat and picked up some training tips at the same time.
L. D.
Manuel is really good! Have had various massage therapists over the years, he's one of the top. And a nice guy too :)
R. C.
Manuel is a great sports masseur, highly knowledgeable on the body, no nonsense, honest and good company whilst beating up aching muscles.
M. L.
My 16 year old son who is passionate about football, was having horrible cramps and seizing up after matches and this was affecting both his pace and enjoyment of sport and beginning to impact on his life elsewhere.
Manuel listened to him, worked on the areas that needing targeting and discussed a programme of stretches, giving specific advice about how to warm up pre and post matches.
The change has been amazing to see - he is now back at full pace, scoring goals and reinvigorated!
Thank you!
M. F.
Manuel is so knowledgable and insightful. Every time I go I am impressed and its so great to be sorting out problems I’ve had for years. It is not an incense fuelled relax a thon but if you want to get sorted then he is ur man.
L. S.
Manuel is an amazing masseur, highly recommended. He definitely knows his business and he is very open to give advice on the best exercises to improve your condition.
G. R.
Can't recommend Manuel highly enough. Very knowledgeable, gave me a quick diagnosis and really helped to solve recurring sports injuries and range of movement issues with a programme of personalised treatment.
L. S.
I had a half iron man in 4 months and was suffering from a strained Iliopsoas (tendonitis on the hips) from a running accident, a punctured lung from a snapped handle bar bike accident and lower back pain from 20 years of cycling and laughing at stretching… fast forward five months and I’ve run a personal best half iron man, can touch my toes and feel at least 35 (I’m 40). Honestly if you want to sort out sports injuries or simply need to work on relaxing and preventing future injuries this is the place to go…
A. T.
As a sports therapist myself I was in serious need of a good massage, and Manuel did just that! He knew exactly what was needed and made me feel much better. I will definitely be going back to see him. Thanks
T. S.
I had a sports massage and it was great. What's more Manuel gave me a couple of stretches to help with my tight quads. Highly recommended.
P. M.
Really understand your body condition. I swim and run competitively. He is able to find the pains points effectively and provide guidance (i.e helpful exercises) to maintain your body. Highly recommended!
S. C.
Manuel is very professional and knowledgeable about the body. Fantastic to have a treatment that really helped the injury I sustained.
E. E.
You won't fall asleep in this guy's table. He gets in their deep and works in you vigorously the whole time he's got you. Or was that because I got him riled up talking about Croatian politics? Whatever. my first visit with him was therapeutic and thoroughly enjoyable. I'll be back .
E. L.
Manuel is the best deep tissue practitioner I have ever experienced hence I keep returning and cannot recommend him highly enough.
Y.
A master of his craft. I've seen many therapists over the years and none were as consistently effective as Manuel is.
p. r.
Manuel really helped with my neck and back pain! And he is very nice and knows what he’s doing !
