P. L.

I have been a patient of Mattie's for a few months now. He has been of huge assistance to me in treating and mitigating a recurring issue with my upper back and neck. As a result, I am out of pain, more aware of how my (often sedentary) work impacts my physical wellbeing, and able to move better. On top of that, he's also a friendly, kind, and interesting professional with a lot of useful insight to impart. Highly recommended.

I was visiting Scotland, but had a flare up of my long term pains in back and neck. Due to my short visit in Edinburgh- he kindly booked me out of his working hours. Mattie is a great osteopath and after a thorough investigation of my issues and posture he explained me what is happening and why, and advised me what to change in how I use my body. I had 2 treatments with Mattie and my symptoms reduced greatly. I wish I had more time to come for more, to carry on the treatment. I will definitely book him again when I am back here. Truly recommending!

I found Mattie when I was browsing online for a cure for the chronic pain in my neck and shoulder, which terribly affect my working and daily life. Mattie assessed my situation in the first appointment and explained why it happened. His explanation was very clear to someone with little knowledge of body structure (like me). We had weekly sessions for about two months and the pain is much relieved afterwards. I'm thankful for his professional help and would like to recommend him to everyone who has a similar condition.

I happened to find Mattie’s osteopathic clinic while on a hen trip to Edinburgh. I had chronic debilitating shoulder pain for several months previously . I am so grateful for his help to totally alleviate that pain after a few treatments. I have found his combined skillset and intuitive approach second to none. Even worth travelling from another country. Thanks so much Mattie! God bless your work

B. W.

Ngl, Mattie does such an excellent job in osteopathy. He is def the best one in Edinburgh and I would recommend him to everyone. I used to have great pain on my shoulder, and Mattie was able to check out what happens, explain to me clearly and help me out. He also offers suggestions on the gym working routines on what I shall do and shall not to better adjust my shoulder pain. He answers all the questions I asked. I feel way better now with his help! Such a pity that I cannot visit him anymore because I move away from Edinburgh for work. But anyone in Edinburgh has any pain of your body, go for Mattie, he can fix everything for you! Amazong job, Mattie!

M. P.

Mattie is a marvel. I had previously seen at least 3 different physios, several GPs, massage, acupuncture... I tried everything and Mattie is the only professional who actually made a difference. Just as valuable, though, was that Mattie could clearly explain *why* my injury came about, and what changes I should make to stop it from reoccurring. Thank you, Mattie.

Maciej is a fantastic Osteopath, from start to finish. I'm a physiotherapist, and I was in agony due to my lower back issues. His diagnosis was excellent, and the treatment was too. I instantly felt relief and far more movement in my lower back. My sacrum is free of pain now :). Lastly the upper back manipulation was unbelievable. Thanks! Atte. Share Chavez

I first visited Matt some 10+ years ago after having absolutely zero success trying many different therapies and therapists for chronic neck pain caused by arthritic change. My search ended with Matt and I have been seeing him on and off ever since. The progression in Matt’s treatment over that time has been huge and I really feel like I’ve been on the journey with him. The myofacsial techniques, particularly, that matt uses work incredibly well for me and I find I enjoy regular ‘routine maintenance’ to keep me in ship-shape. Matt’s development into Osteopathy seems to complement his existing skills perfectly and you just know you’re in very capable, professional hands. I couldn’t recommend anyone more highly.

S. S.

If I could give Mattie more than 5 stars I absolutely would. I started working with Mattie back in January, and couldn’t be happier with the progress and work we have made. I’m a professional footballer on loan to Livingston FC from Norwich City FC and ever since arriving in Scotland not too long ago I had a big knee problem that kept me out of training/games for a while. While I tried everything with my club physiotherapists I wasn’t finding much success. Then I fell upon Mattie’s page, noticed he is osteopath and decided to give it a shot. After our first session I was more than impressed with how he examined the history of my injury, evaluated, and explained what he believed was causing my problem. Ever since then I haven’t looked back and with Mattie’s different techniques including deep tissue massage I made a return back to the pitch way faster than anyone expected. Now I use Mattie as my primary physio to keep me sharp for every occasion. Couldn’t recommend anyone better not just for an elite athlete like me who gets hit everyday haha but anyone having any type of problem! Mattie 10 stars out of 5!

I couldn’t get out of bed due to sharp pain in my back. Mattie - did a very thorough investigation and assessment, explained me how body works and which of my habits contributed to this spinal injury and pains and aches - I was having before. After the set of treatments plus exercises Mattie gave me gradually to do at home - I am now like a new man and I know how to manage my back on daily basis. Also tingling in my fingers almost totally disappeared. He also gave me some good advices of how to change my diet and nutrition - to support my overall health. Mattie uses many different techniques in his work. Amazing Osteopath - truly recommending!

R. H.

Mattie has been helping a lot recently with shoulder and back pain, and I feel better after each session. A good reason to have him as the only osteopath I would go to.

J. B.

Mattie has an excellent working knowledge of the human body and osteopathic treatment. I injured back about 2 years ago, and since then I have been having ongoing issues, resulting in me putting my back out to easily. I’m a young man and I had enough. I decided to seek the help of an osteopath. Mattie was able to work with me, to not only help with my recent lower back pain, but also taught me how to prevent this from happening again. My sessions with Mattie lasted an hour and at each sessions was different in the manipulation of my back and body, with great results, fairly quickly. I’ve made excellent progress with Mattie and would recommend Structural Massage, Edinburgh.

I reached out to Mattie with serious back pain at the end of last year. I was unable to move freely and had to take time off my work as I was simply unable to sit down for any length of time. I am very active, and I was unable to routinely exercise as the pain was unbearable. On my initial session I was amazed as to how quickly Mattie pinpointed the issue through a specific question set, followed up by a review of my body. Before the session I was unaware that I was not completely perfect and surprised to hear that I have a slight twist in my form due to some underlying issues. To my surprise I was almost completely painless after my first session to the point I was able to get back to fully exercising a few days later. Mattie gave me some small hints and tips on how to counteract my issues to build up some weaker muscles which will improve my form overall. My second session was just as productive as the first. We were able to work deeper into the core issue which wasn’t an option initially due to the fact I was I so much pain. Previously I have not ever felt the need to visit anyone from this profession however I have a different view. I now see that this is an important and productive way to spend your time and money. I will now be booking in with Mattie for a regular check-up to ensure I am taking care of my body. Mattie is extremely professional and knows exactly what he is talking about. I am so happy to have found him and will now be a regular customer.

D. K.

Mattie is a professional by all means. After only 5 visits my back is in much better condition, walking is not as sore. He is a great guy we always have a lot of laughs and I feel very relaxed in his company and hands 😊 I highly recommend Matties practice to anyone.

G. B.

Mattie was amazing! I came to him with headaches caused by tension in my neck muscles, after a couple sessions he had my neck and back feeling relaxed and like new. He is a great professional and made me feel very safe and comfortable during the sessions. I would recommend him to anyone that asks!

c. d.

Since going to Majik and receiving treatment I definitely have felt so much better. I can sleep better I can work better as a whole my posture is much better and so many people have noticed it which is fantastic. I was going every week for a few months now go once every few weeks just to keep on top of everything Majik is a osteopath which is fantastic he is able to give his knowledge that he has learned and putting it into helping people.

E. L.

Mattie is the best therapist that I have ever had. I was suffering for years with blocked shoulders and back pains. Mattie treats me with osteopathic and with different techniques. Just with 2 sessions, Mattie could release my problems and pains. My pains are gone and I can move properly again. I went home taller too. Mattie is high qualified, calm, patient. He really knows what he does and what your body needs to heald. Highly recommended :)

R. O.

I've been receiving treatment from Mattie for around 2 Months now. From my very first treatment I have felt remarkably comfortable and at ease due to his warm and professional nature. He is very competent in his practice and takes time to help you understand your own physical structure while offering advice on how to improve it. After 2 months of treatment, I can honestly say I can see a huge improvement in my physical wellbeing. Mattie has helped to relax the muscles in my back which has encouraged a much better posture and has helped to relieve the occurrence of frequent headaches. I cannot recommend Mattie highly enough! I've been to a few therapists in the last lot of years and I can honestly say, hands down, Mattie has been able to do so much more for me than any other. Thanks Mattie!!

m. d.

Truely a miracle worker!!. Been having therapy for a month now for lower back issues related to child birth, a pulled hamstring and in the weeks ahead treatment for a very painful shoulder. Just after 2 sessions the pressure has disappeared from my lower back and have just completed 2 sessions on my leg. Mattie is a very professional and competent.

A. A.

Just want to say a Huge Thank You to Mattie for his service. I was recommended by a friend and wasn't disappointed. Mattie was very professional from first contact by explaining the service and how he works and where to go for the Treatment. I had an hour long massage and I went because I'm a singer/dancer and always get very tense especially in my shoulders and upper back and he done a great job and also made me feel very welcome. Mattie was very friendly and would definitely recommend him. Cant wait to go back in April. Thanks again Mattie. Great work.

A. Z.

I visited Mattie without having any serious condition, just occasional lower back pains. His approach was very human and individual. He explained everything inside-out. First having a detailed interview about type of work, lifestyle and everyday behaviour. Nobody before him explained to me how all the muscles are connected and how to take care of them. I’m aware now what to do and what to watch out when doing everyday things. I highly recommended his services, price is not high and it’s not an issue, because it’s your health. 5 🌟

E. K.

Mattie is far the best therapist in Edinburgh. Very professional and friendly service. I have seen him twice and already helped me with the neck issues that I have had. I will be back again. Highly recommend his service to everyone. Feel the pain? Contact Mattie. He will sort it out!

p. e.

I first went to Mattie years ago for an arm injury from rock climbing. I was in a lot of pain, I couldn't even open the door of my car without feeling an intense pain running down my arm. Mattie worked on my arm, but my overall back and neck also, and within a few sessions I was feeling so much better. He sorted it out completely! Mattie is such a nice person, very professional and makes you feel at ease. The practise room is lovely and very relaxing. I have been going to see Mattie every three to four weeks the past few years to keep my back healthy (I sit at a desk all day with work and I often feel very stiff in the neck and some lower backpain). I always look forward to the session, which leaves me feeling so relaxed and wonderful. I have had quite a few back and neck issues over the years, and Mattie has always sorted them out and provided advice on posture and good habits to keep me out of trouble. Best practitioner I have encountered, and lovely person. I can't recommend high enough!

A. R.

Mattie is a highly competent and knowledgeable professional. I am an athlete that suffers from chronic sacroiliac joint pain, and have seen dozens of chiropractors, massage therapists, and orthopedists over the years. Mattie's holistic approach stands out among them all. Would recommend his services to anyone.

I. K.

Having over many year visited a significant number of physios and osteopaths both in Edinburgh and in London, I felt the unusual need to write a review of the service I received and express how genuinely impressed I am by Mattie and his approach. I had a number of treatments by Mattie and his level of professionalism and depth of knowledge were genuinely exceptional. I’d like to add that I really do take my fitness, body and nutrition very seriously and without hesitation I would recommend Matte. I had a fairly complex neck, shoulder and bicep issue resulting from a combination of skiing and gym related injuries and am happy to report that real significant progress was made, and quickly. Thank you Matte, a very happy client, Ian.

B. H.

I have been visiting Mattie for 6 years now. I first saw him with problems with my lower back and neck (too much sitting at a desk). He quickly remedied these and ever since I have been visiting regularly for my body mot. Mattie is very professional, knows exactly where my back needs attention and fixes what needs sorted. I'd recommend him highly to anyone both new to massage or regular users.

G. T.

Mattie is a brilliant therapist, he helped me out two times already with different back and neck issues. He's calm and professional, easy to trust person with experienced hands and very efficient methods. Highly recommended! *****

I. D.

I have had mid back and shoulder pain for several months, Mattie has made a huge improvement with his skill and patience. He is friendly, knowledgeable and offers detailed explanations of what his treatment plans are and will encompass. He is very reassuring and I would highly recommend him.

I. A.

I have been a client of Mattie's for just over a year. I initially went to see him after pulling muscles in my neck and shoulder from too much aerial. The strain was causing me headaches and Mattie managed to ease these off wonderfully after a couple of sessions. Since then I have visited numerous times for problems with posture (from desk work!) and aerial and have found every session to be very helpful. Mattie is a very friendly, understanding professional and I would recommend him highly to all.

F. P.

I've been treated for my lower back pain monthly by Mattie, for the last months, and by the end of the session I feel better already. He his very professional and competent, assessing your pain history at the beginning of each session and adjusting the treatment accordingly. Mattie is very communicative and explains what he is doing along the session. I totally recommend Mattie as your therapist... You won't regret it!

S. D.

I developed mid-upper back pain and stiffness due to sitting at a work desk with poor postural set-up. For the last few years I been receiving monthly maintenance sessions with Mattie and I always leave the session feeling remarkably better. Mattie has also expertly aided swifter recoveries from my occasional mountain biking and skiing injuries. Mattie has an excellent range of techniques, knowledge and passion for his profession that is rare. Highly recommended!

S. J.

I’ve been struggling for months with chronic pains in my backs, hand and leg. I was at couple of physios and didn’t feel any better. After few visits at SME with Mattie I feel like I’m getting better than I was for years. His knowledge of osteopathy, physiotherapy and massage makes the treatment much more effective, healthier and lasting for good. Haven't found anyone that skilled and proffesional in Edinburgh as Mattie is. Magic hands. It’s his passion to help people. Very positive guy. I’d recommend his service to everyone. Amazing soul!

f. t.

Mattie was recommended to me by my doctor as I had been suffering from back and hip issues. Systematically corrected all my pains over a few sessions. He is well qualified, knowledgeable and gave me stretches to do at home to compliment the massage. I was put at ease and he takes time to find out the route of the pain. reasonably priced.

S. B.

Dentist informed me that i have a jaw joint problem which is cousing stiffnes and pain and then it started to affect my neck and back. Couldn't find a proper physio for couple of months and then one of my friends recommended me Mattie. He asked me much of questions, examined me and explained that everything is connected. Never thought that this kind of injury can affect that much of my body. He treated me with very specific treatment on my jaw which was outside and inside my mouth as well. I felt such a relief after 1 hour! Now everything is improving and after every visit i see how my body is feeling fresh and younger! The most professional physio i've ever visited! Wish you best pal, you're making me feel happy of life again! Thanks!

T. F.

Having suffered back problems off and on for many years . I have at last found Mattie he really does know how to treat back problems properly and to have a lasting effect . The pain has gone and the exercise programme has had an amazing effect on my general movement . Here was me thinking it was old age but he has given me a lot more confidence with his comprehensive treatments and exercises. Highly recommended to anyone suffering back problems.

L. C.

I have been going to Mattie for several years now for massage. I have fibromyalgia/chronic pain and find Mattie really understands how to help ease the pain. He always takes time to assess what's going on in my body each session and tailors his technique to suit me that day. I especially love that Mattie offers Myofascial release, which not many people do in Edinburgh, this style of massage is so gentle but effective for helping painful tissue and knots. I feel so much better after massage with Mattie, highly recommend. Thanks Mattie!

A. D.

Absolutely the best in the area. I came to Mattie for an osteo appointment and he was incredibly thorough, precise and attentive. His consultation and advice were extremely useful and will be definitely be coming back.

K. G.

I went to see Mattie regarding an ongoing issue with my neck and shoulder. He is always polite and professional and always inquires as to my current health i.e. ongoing or new problems. I find this re-assuring as Mattie is interested in tailoring the massage to my needs. He is very knowledgeable and explains things. Taking the time to ensure that I feel both comfortable and relaxed. I always leave feeling better and would definitely recommend a visit.

P. T.

I have now visited Mattie twice now. He is a tall handsome very strong man with strong hands!!! He knows his stuff!! His bedside manner is good, he listens to your ailments and works on that. He is very professional and informative in all the techniques he is practising explaining what he is doing and why he is doing it. He keeps your modesty protected. He gives you advice on how to adjust your posture etc. I look forward to my next session.

T. C.

If massage can fix you, Mattie can fix you. I've had pain in my ankle for over a year, after working with Mattie for a month I am well on the way to recovery. He is incredibly skilled and dedicated, you can't ask for a better ally against whatever pain you're facing. Call right now and make an appointment because he will only get busier as his career unfolds. I can't recommend him highly enough.

R. B.

Having been to Mattie for massage years before, a few months ago I was having neck and shoulder pain that wasn't going away. I booked a 90 minute osteopathy session and I really wish I'd done it sooner. I wasn't sure what the actual problem was, but Mattie made it easy by asking simple questions while testing the area for pain and range of movemen, before moving onto various techniques and positions to address the (complex) problem. Definitely not "massage" as most people know it, but it's exactly what I needed and I remember feeling taller as I walked home.

P. R.

Having suffered for a long time from lower back pain, I decided to reach out to Mattie. For roughly 9 years I had very bad back pain which cause me to become seriously uncomfortable when doing various activities. The one question I was always asked by everyone specialist I saw was “how did you do it?” And to that I don’t have the answer but Mattie looked past that and didn’t dwell on the fact I don’t know how this happened and instead went about to try and rectify the issue. Mattie took a more holistic approach to the issue instead of telling me to do stretching which seemed to be the common advice. Through this holistic approach, Mattie took the time to paint the picture of what was going on with my lower back and the wider area. For me, this helped me understand my structure better and really get a grasp on what was happening, it turns out the issue I thought I had and many others kept telling me I had was not the issue and instead the root of the discomfort was taking place at another point in my back. By treating the issue holistically, we finally had a breakthrough after all these years.. Through this is was able to make very small lifestyle changes and after 6 sessions with Mattie I do not have nearly the same amount of discomfort and pain. Highly recommend Mattie, through clear communication, and his knowledge/experience I have been a lot more comfortable in my day to day life for the first time in years. Thank you.

E. B.

I was suffering from severe discomfort and pain in my hips which hindered my ability to perform exercises such as squats. When I visited Mattie I had low expectations, as I knew that such issues take time to be resolved. However, much to my delight, Mattie proved me wrong! After only a few sessions, I was able to squat again, whilst my pain had been reduced dramatically. Apart from his undeniable massaging skills, Mattie is also excellent at communicating with his clients. Thanks to him, I am now much more aware about my body, and have come to better understand how the musculoskeletal system operates. I would highly recommend Mattie to anyone!

M.

I have an unstable shoulder and have had three operations to keep it from further luxations. Mattie is the BEST therapist I´ve had in all of my recovery processes. he really feels what is going on underneath your skin. He helped me to regain trust in the shoulder and I felt much better after every session. I wish I could work with him longer but I had to return to my home country. Thank you very much!

P. E.

I have been attending sessions with Mattie for several years because of lower back stiffness and pain. This causes associated knee problems. Mattie has worked successfully on both problems to the extent that my mobility has been maintained and pain lessened. Mattie is an eclectic practitioner who really understands the musculoskeletal workings of the body. He can never lied on to listen carefully to your problem and use a variety of techniques resolve the issue. Above all, he is a genuinely caring person, keenly motivated to improve his knowledge and to improve the wellbeing of his clients. I thoroughly recommend him as an expert in his field.

R. G.

I have had two treatment sessions with Mattie, if I lived nearer Edinburgh it would be many more. I have an ongoing problem with my shoulder as a result of postural issues at work and activity in the gym. Mattie has a very gentle approach, listening very carefully to my issues, asking a few pertinent questions before conducting a preliminary examination to inform the treatment session. He is considerate during the treatment , explaining what he is doing or about to do and crucially, nothing he does hurts, as is so often the case with sports masseurs. He is a true professional. His treatment room is clean and inviting and the location is central and convenient. His prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of service. You will not be disappointed.

C. W.

I have been seeing Mattie for at least five years off and on. He is passionate about his work with the body and is always refining his techniques and seeking more information. This means that he has many ways of working at his disposal. He offers straight massage but can also gently realign the body which in my case has been extremely helpful. I have had an incredibly relaxing shiatsu session, as well as having massage which really goes into the knots and bumps in my body. He thoughtful and attentive, an excellent therapist, I strongly recommend him. Cathie

R. B.

Mattie is an exceptional shiatsu practitioner and physio: having discovered him I wouldn't want to go elsewhere now. When I visit I like to get the shiatsu treatment which is both therapeutic and relaxing, but because Mattie also adapts it when needed to include elements of muscle massage, I find that I come away every time feeling light and with any minor aches and pains addressed. Mattie's treatment room is now one of my favourite retreats.

M. C.

I came to Mattie two months after my accident when I twisted my ankle badly (even lost consciousness for few seconds). I didn't get any physiotherapy but asked to take painkillers. It helped a bit for few weeks, but then pain increased and I started to feel a cold food as well. Mattie evaluated it very thoroughly and after a set of treatments plus gradual exercises I have to do at home - the pain is gone and my foot feels stronger.

D. M.

Mattie is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. I had been suffering with shoulder and back pain for a long time due to martial arts. After each session with Mattie I immediately feel so much better! I would highly recommend Mattie.

T.

I was referred to Mattie by Heidi Grillo, a fantastic energetic medicine practitioner in Edinburgh, for a number of reasons. I had both physical and emotional malalignments that Mattie not only alleviated, but pretty much reversed. Before Mattie, I had severe limitations in range of motion from my shoulder due to a torn rotator cuff and two herniated discs in my cervical spine. I had received physiotherapy (with no improvement) and was told I needed surgery. After my first visit with Mattie, I started to feel relief! As a practitioner, he is attentive, educated, empathetic, and passionate. His love for his profession is inspiring. Typically, I'd leave his office feeling motivated to approach my career with a similar gusto. One of my biggest regrets about leaving Edinburgh is not being able to see him regularly! I will definitely be scheduling an appointment anytime I visit.

M. H.

Matty is an amazing osteopath with a truly holistic approach. Being a medical professional myself I am very impressed by the results of the treatment Matty provided.

T. K.

I've used Mattie's services many times over the last few years and I couldn't recommend him more! I'm a photographer and retoucher which means spending a lot of time in front of a computer not always maintaining a correct seating position obviously... Therefore I get pains especially in my neck and shoulders and Mattie is a magician relieving the pain even in a short session! The best guy for the job! Thank you!

J. C.

I went along not knowing what to expect and was feeling nervous. Mattie made me feel welcome and comfortable. After a short time speaking about my daily routines and work we spoke about my plantar fasciitus and back tension. Mattie made a plan for me and talked me through my treatment. Mattie has been treating me weekly after a short discussion of how my previous week has been and if I have any questions he answers them in detail for me. My treatment has been successful and symptoms have gone. Thank you

A. C.

I have been visiting Mattie for over 3 years. I first required his advice and expertise after developing bad lower back pain- it became so bad I had difficulty walking without severe pain in my back and the upper sections of my legs. After the first few sessions he quickly understood where the pain was coming from and the best way to sort the problem. Since then I have been having a regular check ups and body MOT just to keep things in check. I work long hours, with a lot of that at a computer desk, so find the check up and MOT useful and relaxing. Mattie has always been extremely professional and has a very broad knowledge. I couldn't recommend him highly enough.

J. A.

I have seen Mattie for a number of years for a variety of different ailments both sports and postural related and first found him after trying numerous other practitioners covering Physiotherapy, Osteopathy & Chiropractors etc. with no success. Specifically I was looking for Manual Body Therapy and Myofascial Release and this is combined with his other skills including Osteopathy, Shiatsu and Sports Massage Therapy. What drew me to Mattie and continues to do so is not just his qualifications in a whole host of different disciplines which he skillfully brings together to treat the whole body but also his professional and friendly manner and genuine willingness to listen and help.

N. B.

I’ve been visiting Mattie to correct some back issues and also for some Sports massage therapy. Mattie is very professional, explains everything he’s doing when treating you and has an excellent knowledge of his profession. The fact he is so busy proves how good he actually is!

H. W.

I had shoulders which had been clunking and severely knotted for years with no relief. I came to Mattie on recommendation from a friend 4 years ago and was so glad that I did. Within a few sessions I saw a massive improvement in both my shoulders and neck. I recently came back to Edinburgh and went straight back to Mattie to receive treatment again. Once again the initial improvement is amazing. Very professional and thorough!

C. S.

Mattie has been a real good find for me, I have had back pain on and off over a few years but recently was a lot worse, I first visited him a few weeks ago and after the first session I could feel a difference, I'm about to have my 4th visit and things are looking a lot better already! Mattie is very professional, explains every detail of what he's doing and how the treatments are going, extremely knowledgeable and a really friendly approachable guy, always a warm welcome and very relaxing surroundings too, I would highly recommend him to anyone, thanks a million 😁

M. B.

I was experiencing headaches and stiff neck. After two treatments with Maciej I felt much better. I noticed that my breathing has improved , I had less tension and I could freely move my neck . But most importantly, I haven't got headache since . Maciej is very informative and he has a great passion for his job. I highly recommend this osteopath.

J.

I was recently diagnosed with Bell’s palsy and I decided that the option of massage would be beneficial to reduce some tension and work on manipulating my facial muscles so I can smile again. Initially I was too embarrassed to book a massage or talk to a therapist about my condition but I sought out Mattie on recommendation from a friend and after the introductory consultation I felt instantly at ease. He was very informative and knew about the condition already and he discussed things he could do to help me. Highly professional and intuitive and even after just two sessions the much needed facia and cranial work he did for me have definitely reduced my stress and helped speed up my healing process. Slowly getting my smile back.Thank you!

K. C.

Another fantastic massage from Mattie. I've been coming to Mattie for years for a variety of problems from back problems, joint issues and migraines and he has always helped whatever has ailed me. He is extremely professional but makes you feel at ease too.

D. M.

After only a couple of sessions with Mattie I noticed a huge improvement in both my back and shoulder that had been causing me pain for months beforehand. I found Mattie to be both very professional and very friendly and he put me at ease straight away. I highly recommend him.

G. B.

Im a ex semi pro football player, also with many miles cycling, hiking, bad posture all leading to long term left side hip, pelvic, positional problems & deep chronic muscle tightness. After many years looking for a local professional I sourced Mattie as a myofascial release therapist. His osteopathic skills, creativity, phenomenal intuition & natural strength places him at the highest level within his profession. With Mattie I have gone through a full re-conditioning process. He diligently worked through the complexities & muscle memory patterns to fully re-align my spine & pelvic rotation. Thanks Mattie!

H. E.

Mattie has been treating my jaw for TMJ muscular problems. I have seen a vast improvement in the function of my jaw and pain levels have significantly decreased in only a handful of treatments. I would highly recommend Mattie for soft tissue work, I am now getting quality of life back as my jaw problem improves. Thanks!

S. A.

I’m a student and I tend to have neck and back pains because of my spine. Feeling one day I decided to go to Mattie’s practice and it’s been very helpful indeed. He did an evaluation of the different symptom and helped me with massage and osteopathic techniques. He has taught me exercises to do at home that can help me feel better too! P.S.: he’s a very friendly guy!! Dziękuję!!!

Professional in every way. I love my chilling & healing sessions with Mattie. Thanks to his thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology, Mattie was able to analyze and combine my informations for accurate diagnosis, and he did help me a lot. After all office work, that's the best place to be.

I went to see Mattie for the first time after suffering an injury during some weight training. He did a thorough assessment of my spine and muscles and not only helped me to leave the appointment with less pain and increased mobility but with more knowledge of the potential root cause of my reoccurring injury.

D. H.

I've been seeing Mattie regularly for a few years now to fix tightness and tension in my neck and shoulders. He works wonders, always explains everything and is always professional. I leave feeling immediate results. Highly recommended.

Mattie is a fantastic therapist - experienced, knowledgeable and compassionate. He is very passionate about his work and I have been sending Martial Arts students to him for many years as well as regularly going myself.

Maybe this is my 5th comment on google for a business or a person. I'm glad that I decided to be treated by Mattie. I'm training heavily in the gym and practicing martial arts, I'm training 6 to 7 days a week. I decided to see a chiropractor or have a massage as my muscles got tense a lot around my lower back area. Mattie treated my lower back and just after few hours I dob't feel any pain. He is very knowledgable and passionate about massage, deep tissue massage, chiropractice etc. Depending on your issue he combines different techniques to give you the best treatment. The price is very reasonable for the quality of treatment. Highly recommend him!

I have had pain from sitting in bad posture due to office work for many years and I had tried many other places to seek improvement for my condition and pain such as chiropractor, osteopath and message therapist. With some I seen no improvement with others it took a long time to see improvement and the pain would come back once I stopped going. With Mattie my pain level came down the fastest time compared to the rest and the pain continues to improve in such a short time period of going to him. I am very grateful.

S. A.

After years of weakness and pain in my right arm resulting from long hours on the keyboard of my computer, I visited Mattie for treatment. The course finished more than 6 months ago, and I'm delighted to report that I have been free of discomfort in my arm ever since. It almost feels like a miracle to have full, pain-free use of my arm again! So, thank you Mattie!

R. K.

Just had my first session yesterday ,Mattie is absolutely phenomenal! I had really bad back pains and today I feel huge difference! No pain whatsoever! Will recommend Mattie to everyone his knowledge and professionalism is outstanding!

J. P.

I would really highly recommend Mattie, he is fantastic. I injured my hip whilst giving birth and had a fairly constant pain/ache for almost a year. After having some sessions with Mattie it has improved so much that I have had a week with absolutely no pain at all...amazing! Thank you Mattie!

M. K.

Really helpful for the whole body after long hours of hard computer work. My neck and back feel new every time. Mattie really cares about his patients, loves what he does and knows the body. Appreciate the student prices as well. Definitely going back.

I. A. (.

I'm currently treated by Mattie, and recieved treatment from him two years ago as well. He is extremely knowledgeable and offers great advice and recommendations for treatment. He uses a large range of techniques that go well beyond traditional massage or deep tissue therapy and my back is very thankful for that!

In the middle of my month long trip across the UK, with a backpack, and after walking many miles, climbing many towers, and sleeping in a variety of not so great beds, my body was crying for some much needed work. Being an HHP and bodyworker myself, and a former instructor of anatomy at IPSB in San Diego, California, I know what constitutes a knowledgeable and trained therapist. Mattie’s impressive background immediately caught my attention and set him apart from the others I researched. During our session, his attention to my body’s troubled areas and his specificity to each muscle group, indeed to individual muscles...well, words fail me. I’d never been so connected with what a therapist was doing during a bodywork session, and I’ve had many - from experts in the field. A few days after our session, once the soreness had dissipated (yes, it was a serious muscle workout, and there were numerous releases), my body feels better than it did before I began my trip! I am immensely grateful that I found him and feel privileged to have experienced his touch.

C. L.

Had my first session with Mattie and have to say I was more than impressed with the whole experience including the knowledge and expertise he clearly has. I left feeling the immediate difference with my back and have already booked another session to continue the improvements. My back feels well adjusted. Thank you :)

R. G.

Too many years staring into a computer screen and muscle tension picked up in the gym led me to seek help from Mattie. This guy knows his stuff and after just 2 visits I have noticed a big difference in my posture and muscle tightness. Looking forward to my next visit !

F. T.

Mattie is highly skilled, intelligent, strong and caring. He has the perfect combination of strength and gentleness. He knows how to draw on a variety of techniques to produce positive therapeutic effects and enhance well-being. Thoroughly recommended.

S. P.

Mattie is extremely professional in his approach to his work. He always takes time to understand the problem area then comes up with a plan on how to help. I can't recommend highly enough his healing hands. Thanks Mattie!!!

E. G.

Mattie is excellent. He's helped me with a shoulder problem that has plagued me for years, and also the niggles I get from being silly. I highly recommend Mattie as a knowledgeable, well practised osteopath.

P. B.

I have been having regular treatment for my back issues (problems with three discs) with Maciek for several years. I cannot recommend Maciek highly enough. He has a fantastic knowledge of the human body and is without a doubt the best practitioner I have found. Maciek combines his experience of massage, shiatsu, myofacial release and osteopathy together in each session. I now go to see Maciek once a month for maintenance to keep on top of my disc issues and this together with regular exercise keeps me mobile. I have recommended Maciek to several friends and will not hesitate to do so again. A true professional.

N. d.

A very strong massage, Mattie is sensitive, with a low profile but really professional. When he massages is focused and he seems to have a dialogue with the body he's treating.

A. B.

I just want to write and say 'thank you' for your great work. I'm having problems with my back and Mattie knows what to do. Professional, knowledge, explain everything. You feel welcome and comfortable. I'm grateful for the help you gave me which really made a difference. Thank you so much again! I strongly recommend him!

Laptop neck and shoulders, combined with an old injury created re-occurring back pain. After 4 sessions I am standing taller and pretty much, pain free. Been chasing a solution for this for a long time but Mattie seems to have nailed it.

M. L.

Found Mattie on Google during a trip to Edinburgh from the states. Had a back muscle issue and called him at the end of a work day. He took time out of his day off the next day to help find a solution for my pain. Knowledgeable and friendly explanations to everything he did with very reasonable priving. The folks of Edinburgh are lucky to have him here. Definitely worth a shout when in the area. Cheers

G.

Mattie has great knowledge of the human body. I have been coming to him for a long time for back related issues and he has always helped me out. I highly recommend his practice.

M. J.

I've being going to Mattie for several years now. He is a great therapist and I always leave feeling relaxed and de-stressed. Close to the city centre and reasonable rates for a first rate massage.

I. Z.

I've had about 5-6 session with Mattie and I'm very happy to say that my pain the upper back muscles are gone without a trail. I can't recommend him highly enough!

J. S.

Mattie was fantastic. He went out of his way, working after-hours to accomodate me into his schedule. Thank you Mattie!

D. W.

Mattie is a fantastic practitioner! I am a physical theatre performer and he fixed me good and proper during a very demanding Fringe Festival.

D. G.

I am a performer at the Edinburgh fringe and I visit Mattie every time I’m in Edinburgh. He is very professional and very good value for money. Really helps me to unwind from the stresses of performing.

M. M.

Being a photographer and always carrying heavy equipment and sitting editing for very long periods of time for years has given my consistant pain in my neck and shoulders - just 2 visits to Structural massage has helped 100% no more crick neck every few months and tightness. Highly recommended.

N. G.

Went there for a a couple of times due to upper and lower back pain and it's already noticeable how better it got as well as the relieve feeling after the sessions are totally worthy. All this along with the nice welcoming feel by Mattie makes you go back there again and again. Thank you for the help and totally recommend it!

S. G.

Went to Mattie with a sports injury on my shoulder. Was very impressed with the service he provided and at very reasonable prices, especially for students. Have been back a few times now and plan to again in the future.

B. A.

After a double hip replacement I had problems with pain, stiffness and general mobility. Mattie transformed my life. He was positive, not that gentle and always corteous.

C. F.

Best practice ever. I finally got to understand things about my body that no-one explained before.
