Testimonials

I really appreciate the personalised massages targeting injuries and stiffness in my body. Mary really gives great thought and time trying to address issues, and I really appreciate the extra advice and exercise recommendations. Already looking forward to my next appointment.

Martin is incredible at what he does! I’d never been to a massage therapist before and he was professional and reassuring from the very beginning. After over a decade of pain/chronic illness and countless medications (that never really helped, without causing their own issues) I’d had enough and decided to take the holistic route to trying to help my problems. Alongside hollistic therapies, I’ve been getting frequent massages with Martin and it’s significantly helped me cope with my issues and I can’t thank him enough for that. 1000% recommend Pure Body Fix :~)

Had my first remedial treatment with Martin and I will definitely be going back. Very professional and knowledgeable and knew exactly how to help.

I’ve been seeing Martin for over a decade now, and honestly, I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my body.
He’s not just a massage therapist, he’s a true body fixer, a walking encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to health, nutrition, and how the human body works. His deep tissue massages are second to none, and every single session leaves me feeling like a brand new person.
Martin is highly professional, incredibly skilled, and has this rare ability to pinpoint exactly what needs attention. Over the years, he’s helped me through aches, injuries, and everyday stresses.
On top of that, his nutrition advice is spot on and genuinely life enhancing.
If you’re looking for someone who will take care of you inside and out, Martin is the one.👌🏼 Couldn’t recommend him enough…he’s simply
the best at what he does. 💯

A great session. Both Educational, Connection Inspirational flowing through with releasing blockage parts of body fix deep tissue massage.

Wonderful massage with Mary Ann! Booked another straightaway! Also seeing her for scar massage, and even after only 2 sessions can see and feel a real difference!

Martin gave me a post-natal massage at pure body fix. I left feeling great! Martin is so so knowledgeable and I feel like I really learned about what pregnancy does to your joints and muscles. He was very respectful and ensured I knew what was happening and why. Would absolutely recommend !

1st ever couples massage but had loads on my own – it was fantastic and lovely physically relaxing and mentally relaxing experience and we have already booked another one – 10/10

This was my first time visiting The Massage Spa. Martin really put me at ease and I felt very comfortable and relaxed throughout. My deep tissue massage was great – super relaxing and effective. Looking forward to visiting again soon for my next massage.

Martin is a superb masseur but more importantly coach and has an holistic approach to treating and relieving all muscular skeletal symptoms you may have but also includes mindfulness and wellbeing and is non invasive but deep enough so that you walk out you feel physically and mentally better – he is very very good – I think I have using martin for 9-12 months and go fortnightly- highly recommend it as a 21st century method of treatment.

Martin keeps me mobile every 3wks not only with his deep tissue massages for a few years now.

He has many strings to his bow in fixing your body.
At the moment Martin is helping with a weight problem with his Nutrition knowledge that in turn is helping improve my Wellbeing, changing life time Habits.
Another aspect of fixing our body is his knowledge in helping us women to wear the right size bras. Since finding the right size that has now made an improvement. But one of his other great skill is he listen to what stresses you out and were you hold it in your body that could be creating the discomfort.

I see Martin regularly suffering from aches and pains in my job. His massages and advice also help me to ease the pain I can suffer from and improve the quality of my sleep.

Very competent masseur with so much knowledge and interesting facts. Takes the time to understand the issues with my neck and suggests preventative measures as well identifying and treating the worst areas. Would highly recommend.

Martin definitely knows his stuff. I keep going back with new aches and pains from my job and he explains in great detail on what I have done this time and then sorts it out so I can carry on working. 10/10

Remedial massage for lower back pain was really effective. Martin also gave me simple exercises that would help and explained everything very clearly. I really appreciated learning from his knowledge about how different muscles and flexors in the body affect each other.

I would really recommend Martin at the Massage Spa. Excellent stretching techniques and deep tissue massage. Martin is very knowledgable and offers great advice and treatment to address stiff muscles and muscle recovery.

Brilliant massage for mind and body and i highly recommend it

I was suffering badly with a trapped nerve in my shoulder blade area with pain shooting down my right arm. Martin took the time to understand the problem and above and beyond in exploring the context and possible reasons behind it. The remedial massage has definitely helped. All very professional and would highly recommend!

I’m sure Martin is related to a holy entity as when he lays his hands on me all my aches & pains disappear 10/10

Martin is very knowledgeable and he gave me a fantastic massage.

The best, most professional massage I have ever had! Highly recommended.

Martin is brilliant takes the time to understand what’s needed and has helped to sort out my back issues.

I’ve been to see Martin a few times now for remedial massages on my shoulder. Every time he manages to relieve me of all the pain I’ve been experiencing and I leave feeling brilliant. He also gives me helpful tips to prevent further problems. I will definitely be going back and treating myself to a deep tissue massage soon.

I have had a few deep tissue massages with Martin. Absolutely brilliant. He knows just how to relieve the stress pains and you feel so much better when you leave. He explains so well as to why you have the pain and how he is going to relieve it. I can’t wait for my next appointment.

Absolutely recommend! I had a pregnancy massage followed by postnatal one and my body felt massively relaxed and restored after both!

Today I had a myofascial release massage with Martin at The Massage Spa whereby he worked on some deep scars I have on my back following an operation. The idea is to release the adhesions formed by the scar tissue and creating more movement instead of tightness that I feel around my back. It was amazing and after one session I can feel a difference and will have more of these massages

I also got to be the first client to try out his new whole body hot water bottle!! On top of the massage table was a warm water-filled layer – it was fantastic – and the closest thing I’ve tried to a water bed!! It was so relaxing and an absolute must try for anyone having any kind of massage, whether it be remedial or other. Do try it, you’ll literally be floating!!!! Thank you Martin

I would like to express my gratitude to Martin and the team who over the years have provided an excellent service. When I have experienced problems with my knees and back, Martin and the team have always gone out of their way to assist me – and the business offers an amazing customer service experience.

Every member of staff in the business is polite, courteous and friendly. Martin is attentive and listens to my concerns regarding my knees and provides constructive advice assisting with the rehabilitation. Without this assistance, I would have stopped going to the gym etc. It is due to Martin that I have been able to continue my fitness programme and aspire to reach certain fitness goals. Whether you have problems with your knees, back etc or simply would like a massage, Martin will always listen, understand and go out of his way to provide the best service. I couldn’t ask for a better service and would recommend attending The Massage Spa to all.

I’ve had massages around the world of varying quality.  The best, in Southern India, were, I thought, unbeatable.  That is until I went to Martin Parkes at The Massage Spa in Chesham.  I’d say he’s now top of my world list – and I don’t have to go through Heathrow to see him.

He’s exceptionally well qualified, naturally kind and eminently professional.  He is also, how shall I put it, substantial.  He can be as light in his touch as a butterfly but as weighty as a sumo wrestler where muscles and joints cry out for relief.

He also looks after a client’s particular needs. Knowing that I have trouble breathing when prone, for example, he arranges for eucalyptus oil to be diffused in the room.

I’ve been going regularly to Martin for the last three years.  I opt for 90 minute sessions which gives him time to attend to all my various aches and pains and to prevent others.

Now in my eighties I attribute my longevity and nimbleness to my wife’s great care and Martin’s supreme skills.

At the beginning of each session I share how I am feeling internally and externally, and we decide how to focus the session.  There are a variety of techniques that can be used alongside massage and advice on exercise that have significantly helped me with long-standing structural and postural issues.  I always come out feeling deeply relaxed. I really recommend The Massage Spa.

Magda is a fine addition to your team.  Intelligent, caring, professional and well trained by your good self.  She’s a fine example of ‘pure’ massage and I can well understand that both men and women will value her.

Fantastic treatment feel amazing afterwards and a really great service. Thank you

Martin is very thorough, and leaves me feeling ready to tackle the world. I would highly recommend him.

A big THANK YOU to Martin for his very effective sports massage, it has speeded my recovery from a back operation. Highly recommended!

Friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and professional. In depth knowledge of sports injuries and made a positive impact on a damaged shoulder. Would definitely recommend Martin to treat a sports injury.

Martin is very personable and reliable. The whole experience in his salon is relaxed and enjoyable. Just the place for a pamper session.

Martin Parkes provides a fantastic sports and remedial massage. His knowledge of the field and expertise provide an all together excellent service.
