Rebecca is amazing! I tweaked something in my back and since I couldn't sleep I found her site in…read morethe middle of the night and booked an appointment for a sports massage the next day. It was great to find someplace where I could make an appointment without having to pick up the phone. It was exactly what I needed - not a nice relaxing massage, she really got in there and worked on my back. I was up and walking around pretty much back to normal the next day. That's never happened before, usually I end up being pretty useless for a few days when my back goes but she really fixed me up. Since then I've been back for an osteopathy consultation and several sessions to work on fixing my back for the long term and she's been fantastic. I always feel great after an appointment!

I came into the Harley St. clinic in June after experiencing knee pain for the first time - I am an…read moreavid runner and have completed multiple marathons. MikeSquirrellClinic diagnosed me with "Fat Pad" and assured me that within a few weeks and a few sessions I should be back to normal. MSClinic did give me a number of good stretches to work through outside the clinic and performed various massage and acupuncture techniques. After stretching intensely and by the 4th or 5th appt. without results, I became frustrated and began to research the problem myself. On the last appointment I asked a number of questions about my right VMO muscle and realised this was the main problem. It had weakened significantly, and the knee pain was being caused by a "lack of tracking" from a weak VMO. So for the past 2 months I have been working on my own researching on ways to build up the strength in this muscle, and I am finally back to approx. 95%. Honestly, the best remedy for this was simple leg extensions with small weight, basically starting with lifting the bar and building up over time. I didn't try this remedy until about a month ago as I had a stigma that weights were bad and stretching / core strengthening is the best alternative. I wish I had done this from day 1 and not spent the money that I did. Or at least received this advice. I am a bit disappointed with the whole process as I feel I lost a summer of running (for once a nice summer). I emailed MSClinic with the above dissatisfaction and did not receive a response. There is likely a better clinic out there.

The British School of Osteopathy can never get to the bottom of my compaint so i was told about Matthew. To be honest i give up and couldnt be bothered going to yet another osteopath to be massaged, stretched etc. So i give Matthew a try and he told me i have a pelvic problem and within my first visit he has cured my years of back pain and spasms and i don't get sciatica no more. After my 3rd visit today im a new man now and i can get on with my life and most importantly i can go to the gym again. So if you have a back problem that won't go away this is your man, i can't speak highly enough of him. Thanks Matthew.

My skin has been super dry and dull lately, plus I got a terrible night of sleep on the plane, so I was beyond glad Chi Yu was able to take me as a walk in. Noriko was so sweet and friendly, as was the lady who checked me in at the front (I didn't get her name). The facility is clean and cozy, offering tea or water when you arrive. The facial with products includes eminence products which all smelled and felt incredible. They also specialize in Japanese Cosmo Lifting Massages and Noriko integrated some of that into my facial, which was great and something new for me. The facial was so relaxing I'm pretty sure I fell asleep. I'll definitely make this my spot whenever I'm in London!

I was dreaming of some relief and started to do a quick search on Yelp for somewhere quite near my office. Nothing too laborious as my day was packed...so just a quick tune-up via chair massage was in order. Chi Yu to the rescue! Lovely staff and very welcoming. From making the appointment, to arrival, and situation all the way to checkout and bidding them adieu, everyone was so very nice. Somewhat sad that this is not a given, but in London it certainly isn't! This makes Chi Yu stand out. I made an appointment for same day with Rie, who was great. I was escorted downstairs to the treatment area, and given 30 minutes of chair massage. Brilliant, just what I wanted. She was very communicative and definitely helped ease the tension. I probably need one every day for a month to really work it out, but this really helped. I took a menu and will definitely be back. Really like the vibe of this place, the atmosphere (also SUPER clean), and the service offerings. Facials, beauty + Wellness massage, reflexology, Thai massage, etc. £15 (plus a bit extra for Rie) --- well worth it.
