Massage Exeter

I had a wonderful pregnancy massage with John at Barefoot. At 34 weeks pregnant, I have been feeling more uncomfortable and achy and hoped a massage would help ease some of these symptoms. John made me feel at ease, explaining how the session would work and ensuring I was in a comfortable position. Following the massage, I was moving better than I have in weeks and was able to move without pain! The cherry on the top, was feeling relaxed, calm and refreshed. I would recommend any pregnant ladies to book in for a massage at Barefoot.

I organised a massage subscription with barefoot physio, following a generous gift from family. I’ve been going every 3 to 4 weeks for 5 sessions now and it has been a wonderfully positive experience. The massage was always personalised to what I needed that day. I have felt safe and supported throughout. Fran is really knowledgeable about the causes of tightness and pain, and the massage has helped enormously. Thank you, Fran. And thanks to my family member who organised this too!

I contacted Barefoot Clinic initially for a terrible backpain, which was dealt with great professionalism, prompt response and care by Fran and James. James showed me some exercises at home and has been updating them as per my need. Can't thank him enough.John was highly recommended for follow-up massage sessions, both at the clinic and at my home. John has a great calming personality and can-do attitude to make you feel completely at ease. He tends to the area (s) that need attention and thus tailor fits his session to suit your needs. He asks questions and encourages the same.John is the best massage therapist I have had in more than 20 years!!Can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you John and Barefoot Clinic for my road to recovery.Much obligedSunita Singh

I had a wonderful head and back massage today. I was very well looked after by Gemma and the whole experience was amazing. I would recommend Gemma for her massage techniques, personal manner, making me feel comfortable and ensuring I enjoyed the massage. I will definitely be returning soon.

I had such a wonderful Indian Head Massage with Gemma today. She was very welcoming and kind, and I especially liked how she did a thorough consultation before the massage to make sure all of my needs were met. She even let me pick which oils she used for the massage which was lovely! I also really enjoyed the cool stones she used to help with tension in my jaw, that was a really nice added touch. Thank you for a really calming and relaxing experience, Gemma!

Absolutely amazing massage service. Cannot recommend it enough. Not only did John give me an amazing relaxation experience, but he also tailored it to my specific goals and how I was feeling in my body. He had a chat with me before beginning to put me at ease and answer any questions - this really helps if you've never had a massage before and feel anxious about it! We also had a chat afterwards about how I felt and what to expect post-massage.

Fantastic experience! I came to John for a deep tissue massage during a stressful week and was NOT disappointed. He made a great effort to understand the type of massage I would best enjoy - locations, pressure, existing tightness etc - and the resulting treatment was spot on. Will definitely be returning.

I have been seeing Fran for regular deep tissue massage, initially for on going back pain and stiffness, I am now pain free. Fran takes time at the beginning of every session to check in, discuss any issues / concerns and ensures she takes a holistic approach. This means that the focus of the massage is always where it needs to be for me, I particularly like the hots stones, and attention to detail in terms of comfort and warmth. It is truly relaxing and rejuvenating.

Having been unable to walk without pain on entering the clinic, an hour later I was able to leave and stand upright. Clear communication and good listening to understand my issue. Incredibly skilled to provide such relief. I will be forever grateful for his knowledge, skill and training and his professionalism.

I had a 90min deep tissue massage with John a couple days ago. He was great! I was pleasantly surprised that he used some techniques I haven’t had done before, and I feel like like managed to get quite a few knots out of my back and shoulders. Definitely felt relaxed and like I could sit up straighter afterwards. Would recommend getting a message at Barefoot Physio, the price is pretty much average but the quality of the massage was good. I also liked that John asked a few questions before (like areas I don’t like touching or if I’m okay with oil), and checked in a couple times to check if the pressure he was using was okay.
