Testimonial is from one of my elite athletic clients that went to the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020!
I've been seeing Ray regularly in the lead up to competing in the Tokyo Olympic Games, and his care and communication as a massage therapist is outstanding. Ray is exceptionally friendly, professional, knowledgeable and has tailored to my changing needs week to week with patience and consideration. He's particularly helped with both upper and lower back pain, as well as general aches and pains due to the training load of elite level sport. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thanks Ray!

One of my clients recovering from mental health issues!
How I deal with my stress!!! Every 2 weeks I go to this lovely sanctuary and relax my body and my mind through trigger point therapy. With Ray Flaherty and his professional knowledge and treatment, I would indeed be a nervous wreck! It always gives me something to look forward to and resets my mind. Ray also sends me reminders because, between recovery of mental health issues and addiction, my mind is all over the place. It’s nice to have someone really care about your well-being and recovery.

Testimonial 2023
Janiece 01/01/23 Raymond has a comprehensive understanding of Myofascial Release Therapy and is a most effective practitioner. He uses his hands skilfully to massage and stretch the myofascial tissue and to eliminate knots thus enabling greater movement of muscles and joints. Restriction of the myofascial tissue covering the human skeleton can lead to widespread pain and discomfort if not released regularly. Raymond possesses exceptional skill, and his patients enjoy greater agility and movement. I recommend Raymond to anyone wishing to improve their mobility and agility. Google Review

Testimonial 2022
Amber 07/2022 Today I had my second treatment with Ray and oh my goodness he is incredible! I have Lupus and Fibromyalgia so always sore and tight! After my first treatment (two weeks ago) my headaches stopped! I've had back pain for a solid year now and my back feels amazing right now!! He actually listened to me. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable and very accommodating. I highly recommend! I will never go anywhere else now. Google Review

One of the best remedial/trigger point massages I've had. I've been seeing Ray for help with neck pain/headaches after having had a baby recently, and he's helped me a lot. He definitely knows what he's doing, and I've seen immediate improvements in pain/mobility (unlike other remedial massages I've had which didn't seem to do much). He also has a lovely studio which creates a very soothing environment. Victora 29/08/2023 on Goggle

Finally, a Masseur that listens! I had major spinal surgery in 2020 and it has been very hard to find anybody that can help with my muscle pain. After explaining my situation to Ray, he took me on without hesitation and he has been outstanding in his efforts to alleviate and manage my pain. Ray’s remedial massage and pain management skills are second to none and he personally tailors treatment to each individual. Ray‘s excellent personality and bedside manner is an added bonus, as he’ll always keep you entertained with great conversation while you are receiving your treatment. I highly recommend Ray to anyone with back or muscle issues. S&M M 06/2022 Google Review
