Selsdon Wellbeing Centre Testimonials

Ian is a very good therapist, he has a though knowledge of Schiatsu and I personally found him though in the consultation and explainations. Ian's touch is gentle yet firm in a reasuring way. I enjoyed my session and felt very good afterwards. I would recommend him.

Ian, at Selsdon Wellbeing, really knows his stuff, and clearly loves the job he does. His interest in, and knowledge of the human body is impressive, and his desire to help you could not be more apparent. After a visual assessment and brief discussion of my uncomfortable shoulder pains, Ian started to work his magic with his fingers. After about half an hour of gentle massage, including a few oooh's and one or two aaah's, my shoulder was a good as new, and has been every since. Not bad, as the problem had been a regular nuisance for a number of years before I met Ian.

I would like to give you this testimonial to say a big thank you for help in treating my hip dysplasia. After only three treatments Ian has manage to improve the discomfort and mobility of my right hip through his Shiatsu treatments, although quite pain full at times the improvement out ways any discomfort during the treatments. Having experienced problems since the birth of my son in 1994, which has been getting progressively worse year by year and been previously told by an Osteopath that I should not expect to see any further improvement and needed to find way's to reduce the discomfort through analgesic pain relief. Which I might add I did not, finding alternative way's to help with ease my problem. You really are a little white aspirin, the improved mobility is already making a big difference to my hobbies and activities. Once again many thanks I will certainly be continuing to visit you for regular Shiatsu treatments as part on my on going health and wellbeing routine.

Ian provides helpful advice as well as an excellent service. I regular have a massage as well as other services and I always leave more relaxed than when I arrived. I trust Ian more than traditional medical methods.

Thank you so much for treating my back spasms. I appreciate the time have you spent to alleviate these distressful symptoms. I found Shiatsu a very enlightening and relaxing experience and would highly recommend it to anyone with back problems. I will be contacting you again for more pain management as I feel I have found the right 'Pain Specialist' at Last!!

Last week I had an injury from playing tennis to the point where I could hardly walk! I kept taking ibuprofene and applying heat treatments thinking that would be enough - but after 3 or 4 days of agony I decided to see Ian for a treatment. The treatment itself was a little uncomfortable as Ian had to release the knotted ligament. I literally hobbled into his clinic and almost skipped out! Ian always listens attentively to your complaint and is able to locate the source of the problem immediately. His experience and sympathetic and caring approach are what sets Ian apart from other sports injury specialists. I would recommend anyone who wants a speedy recovery from any injury to visit Ian at his Clinic in Selsdon for a consultation which is effective immediately. I was able to go to my dinner dance on Saturday evening all thanks for Ian.

Dear Ian, I am writing to thank you for helping my son. He had been in pain for almost 6 years following a minor car accident. After many blood tests, scans and x-rays the doctors told him that they could find nothing wrong. Being constantly in pain was making him very depressed and affecting his home life. You have treated me for back-ache before and I knew that if anyone could help, you could. I suggested that he visit your practice and let you take a look to see if anything could be done. You took one look at him and told him that his pelvis was out of alignment. Two hours later after working on his back and pelvis, he was no longer in pain. I rang him at home to see how he had got on, and his wife broke down in tears and said it was like a huge black cloud had lifted. My son is still without pain and I can not thank you enough. I would recommend that anyone who is in pain or has been ʼwritten offʼ by the doctor should visit you and not accept all they say. Thank you once again Ian

I am pleased to provide Selsdon Wellbeing Centre with a testimonial for the excellent care and treatment I received from you during and after my preparations for participating in the 2008 Flora London Marathon. Your treatments prior to the race helped strengthen my joints, loosen some very tight muscles and generally relax me. Post race treatment was just as important in that it helped me to recover quickly, soothe acing joints and revive my muscles with your Shiatsu and deep tissue massage. I plan to continue using your services as I see the benefits this brings to my training regime and recovery. The fact that I fall asleep in every session we have also confirms that you truly have a gentle, calming and revitalising touch. Khalil Campbell, Kendlebell

I have to say Selsdon Wellbeing has become a regular part of my health regime. I am amazed how perceptive you are - which was illustrated when you highlighted a slight concern that I had not initially mentioned to you. The masages have helped ease a recurring knee problem as well as other aches and pains. I have since recommended you to friends and family and have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone, particularly those who feel they have exhausted most methods to rid themselves of constant pain.

I have used your shiatsu massage and aqua detox services on several occasions. Any time I have stiff muscles or need a boost in energy your ʼmagic handsʼ do the trick. You are able to find out the cause of aches or pains very quickly and solve the problem. At the same time you provide excellent health advice. I have no hesitation in recommending your services.

Thank you so much for helping me cope with the first 5 months of my pregnancy. With the weekly Shiatsu treatments the nausea was kept well under control. I also felt re-energised after each treatment to be able to cope with the demand of running the letting business. After you showed my husband a couple of techniques to help me cope with the nausea I now get regular hand massages from him which is great. Now that I am moving towards the latter part of my pregnancy I know I can rely on your capable hands to sort out all those typical niggling aches and pains.

There is nothing like a shiatso treatment by Ian.Total relaxation with a man on his knees is not something that you come by easily. I felt totally at ease during the treatment and was happily dreaming of houses at the end of the one and a half hour session. I now regulaly go back now to have various niggly problems sorted out while I feel totally pampered. Even my husband was sooooo relaxed after his session. Many thanks to Ian

The care and attention Ian gives his patients is truly exceptional. I particularly like the aqua detox facility which he offers, in a very relaxed setting.. if youʼve not been along to see what Ian can offer, then itʼs time you did!

I first visited Ian when no one else could help my lower back pain. Ian talked to me prior to treatment to get to know the problem better. After just one session I woke up without pain in my lower back. More recently, I was suffering with extreme sinus pain, in fact it was so bad it was making me feel sick. every day i woke with a piercing head pain across and under my eyes. Ian treated me with ear candles and by the next morning my headache had eased. By the end of that day the headache had gone, much to the releif of my family! I can not reccomend Ian highly enough, he is truly knowledgeable and proffesional. Several members of my family have been treated by Ian and all are very satisfied customers!

I have been going to Ian at Selsdon Well Being Centre every 6 weeks for about 18months now to keep my energy and my stress levels balanced. I have found Ianʼs knowledge to be extraordinary and he is so generous with his time. I had a bad back due to too much time spent writing on the computer and suffered from bad posture and terrible back pain but Ian got straight to the nub of the problem immediately and I feel absolutely amazing. I really do recommend you try shiatsu with Ian - you will truly reap so many benefits and feel less stressed, more energised, and totally balanced - what more could anyone want in our hectic, busy worldʽ Sue Atkins author of "Raising Happy Children for Dummies"

I have been seeing Ian for nearly 2 years. He is the man with magic hands. I have had aqua-detox treatments and shiatsu massages. Thank you for getting rid of those aches and pains and helping me to balance my life. Anthony Gopaul

I recently asked Ian to help me with a foot injury I had sustained while playing tennis. I had spent weeks resting the foot and taking pain killers and was hesitant about visiting my GP for advise. I was recommended Ian by a number of people and decided to give Ianʼs services a try as I was booked for a sports holiday and knew that I needed some sort of help. After only 1 treatment Ian was able to pinpoint the cause of the pain and treat it immediately. I left his surgery feeling so much better than I had been in a long time. I went on my holiday thanks to Ian and my foot is now fully recovered. I now use shiatsu treatment as a wonderful way of re-energising and destressing my body since I have such a hectic lifestyle. Anyone who needs help with an injury or just needs a treatment to help them cope with a busy or stressful life, Ianʼs knowledge and skills are definitely to be recommended very highly. Ian also has a warm and pleasant manner which is both soothing and comforting. Susan OʼConnor Rooms to Remember

If you want to be pampered and feel TOTALLY relaxed then Shiatsu is for you. As a letting agent for Gateway Letting in Croydon, I was running out of steam fast, looking after everyone else except myself. Under Ianʼs nimble hands and quiet attention to my bodyʼs weaknesses and stresses, I was soon happily dreaming of properties. Ian is truly an exceptional white aspirin.

My wife very much enjoyed her massage and has recommneded it to her friends - it gave me a few brownie points so thank you very much!

I have been to see Ian at the Selsdon Wellbeing centre for a monthly Shiatsu massage for a while now and every time he just surprises me with his knowledge of the human body and his talent for massage. I always come out of my 45 - 60 minutes session completely relaxed and with an obviously better functioning body. And the best bit about shiatsu is that you remain fully dressed at all times which suits the self conscious amongst us very well! Canʼt wait for my next Shiatsu!
