Getting regular massage for the last ten years since the first Ironman, since qualifying as a massage therapist, since pregnancy, childbirth, since setting up my practice, etc… just life in general… let’s just say I know massage is the right therapy for me to invest in frequently. The returns are 💯 when you choose the right place and it didn’t disappoint. The myofascial leg massage I received this afternoon was excellent and has relieved the tightness in my gastrocs and plantar fascia + it’s also fun to gain new perspectives and pick up some tricks on the way. Thanks Derek 🙌🫶🏼🫠🏳️🌈

I’ve been having regular treatments with Derek for my frozen shoulder and his hyper focus on helping me is so appreciated. It feels it’s a good stage further forward. Whatever he did last time was extraordinary… it hurt a lot but in a good way. My ROM is defintly improved.

Since my first treatment, my calf muscles have definitely felt a lot happier, and my swelling has reduced quite a bit so as not as tight. Overall, my foot pain is already so much better and I am keeping the stretching up. Thank you again so much for all your time on Friday. You made me feel comfortable and safe.

A big fan & advocate of massage, I've had 2 massages with Derek now and they have been the best massages I've ever had. Derek is an excellent massage therapist in more ways than one, from the moment you walk through the door you feel instantly welcomed with his warm energy & tranquil space he has set up for you. I felt safe, respected & he totally understood what I needed from my massages. The first I had was a full body relaxing massage after a long & strenuous run of an Acting gig I had at the time. It helped my body & mind so much just taking that time for myself. I felt completely renewed after. My second massage I had was targeting the problem area for me of my lower back, Derek's great knowledge of the anatomy meant he found other areas that the pain I was experiencing actually stemmed from & he worked very hard to help relieve my pain & improve movement that was restricted prior to my massage. I just cannot recommend Derek’s treatments highly enough. Absolute magic worked & as a performer it's so great to find someone who really understands the strain it can put on your body & knows exactly how to help. The massage experience with Derek is one of calm, serenity, understanding, knowledge, professionalism, respect, relief, bliss with a touch of magic & charm. Absolutely my go to!!

Well I have been having regular massage for over 30 years and I’ve been reflecting and it’s official - today’s massage with you was the best I have ever had. Thank you so much, Derek. Having arrived with the onset of a migraine, chronic neck pain and malaise, I left feeling tip top. Pain literally gone. Loved the assessment and way you showed me how to massage my neck muscle myself. Booking my husband in!

Just had an amazing massage with 'The Gentle Man' and what can I say other than it was such a magical, relaxing experience. It wasn't just a massage but an all-around holistic approach. Thank you so much, Derek, for making me feel so comfortable discussing my health issues and offering a very professional, tailored treatment plan. I can't recommend you highly enough, not only for your extensive knowledge base and hands-on treatment, but your personal qualities too. It truly had such a healing, calming impact on me, and I will definitely book again.

The massage therapist was lovely! Very friendly and caring and made me feel taken care of. The massage itself was very relaxing and individualised. I will absolutely be coming back to the Queer Clinic!

Often I feel anxious and struggle with being touched, but Derek made me feel so safe and actually managed to relax me to the point it felt like waking up from a very long night sleep! He was very careful not to go to deep where I'm sensitive. And the experience was amazing. I have seen him 4 times now and keep recommending to all my friends! Thank you so so much for respecting my boundaries and removing all that stress from me!!!
