    I visited Jacob after suffering with really bad sciatica. For months I’d been trying my own work to fix the problem, but was seeing limited progress. My eldest brother had told me about the company and how much it helped him when he had back issues, so I decided to reach out.

    And it’s the best thing I’ve done for my performance and health! My back’s now in the best spot it’s been, and I still book in for regular maintenance work just because I feel so good in my body afterwards. Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s struggling with injuries or wants to keep on top of their performance!

    I have been coming to see Jacob now for over 2 years. He is respectful, professional and a great laugh.

    He has not once failed to sort out any niggles or issues I have had over the past few years, whether that has been during the off season or on prep — both of which are taken into consideration at the time of the appointment. Couldn’t recommend him enough.

  • Niki Chisty
    ★★★★★
    Niki Chisty Mens Physique Athlete · Kinetic Therapy

    Having competed in bodybuilding from a very young age, by the time I reached my mid 20’s I had developed some mechanical issues with my shoulders and chronic pain. Unfortunately these injuries forced me to step away from bodybuilding for 2 years having been refused surgery by the NHS.

    Jacob’s treatments were an integral part of my comeback to the stage, with multiple six hour round trips to have him work on me throughout the year. In the October I went on to win my first NPC show. He is well worth the travel regardless of where you are.

    I first came to Jacob in 2023 when I had been struggling with tennis elbow pain for a few months. After one session with Jacob, months of pain was gone and it was such a relief!

    Jacob has excellent knowledge on finding the root cause of pain, assessing issues and treating the correct areas to relieve the tension. 100% would always recommend Jacob!

    Jacob’s kinetic massage was excellent — strong, precise, and incredibly effective. He clearly understands how the body moves and tailored the session to exactly what I needed. I left feeling looser, aligned, and niggle free.

    Very friendly guy and makes you feel at ease from the get go. Highly recommend for anyone whether you’re in competition phase, off season or just simply need some muscle release!

    Had a session with Jacob recently and the results are absolutely incredible. I’ve been struggling with knee issues for a long time due to past injuries, and an elbow injury which kept me out of training BJJ and MMA for months.

    After just one session with Jake I feel like a huge weight has been lifted. Within a few days I was back to running with little to no pain in my knee. I can’t thank Jake enough — knowledgeable, patient and friendly, which makes the whole experience very easy.
