Clients reviews about Rebalance Massage Clinic

I’ve seen a lot of excellent massage therapists over the years so the bar was set very high when I first came to Carles. Carles did not disappoint; in fact I would rate him as exceptional. He is extremely knowledgeable and skilled and is likely one of the most highly qualified massage therapists in the UK. He instills confidence when you meet him and is able to offer a diversity of high-spec, state-of-the-art techniques which he can tailor to your needs. He has helped me address both acute (training/injury related) and chronic (lower back) pain issues and, with regard to the latter, he has really helped to improve my quality of life. His prices are very reasonable and competitive and given that his skills are outstanding it should be a very easy decision to choose him over another practitioner. Highly recommended. ~ julia l

As a professional swimmer, my body endures an immense amount of strain, and I can't stress enough how much my sports massage therapist, Carles, has transformed my recovery and performance. He intuitively understands how to target problem areas, whether it's loosening tight shoulders, relieving lower back tension, or optimising overall muscle recovery. If you're looking for a sports massage therapist who goes above and beyond to support your performance and well-being, I wholeheartedly recommend him. Whether you're a professional athlete or just someone who wants to feel their best, you won't find better care anywhere else! ~ Kara H

I found the experience of my first ever Sports Massage absolutely marvellous! As a person with limited mobility i was delighted by the manner in which I was helped into a comfortable position on the treatment couch... I left the premises feeling much better than when I went in then enjoyed a bonus afternoon nap when I got home. The stepless access and the direction signs on the floor leading to the FASIC waiting area were easy to negotiate. The massage practitioner, Carles, was gently conversational throughout... I'll be going there again in the not-too-distant future! ~ Pete W

I have been a client of Rebalance for over 4 years, and for the past year I have been visiting once per month. As an active person I find very positive benefits from regular sports and remedial massage. Carles is a highly qualified professional, and takes a keen interest in his clients to ensure his treatments perfectly match their needs. I would highly recommend Rebalance and Carles to anyone looking for a professional massage service. ~ Ian M

Cannot recommend the sports massage done by Carles enough - I have had chronic muscular injuries and been to many physio sessions and also massages many times over the last 2 decades, and they've all in the past helped slightly but never really got to the bottom of the pain and discomfort - and now Carles has managed that very well. The beauty of being pain free cannot be underestimated and no-one else had previously managed to achieve that! ~ Sharon Z

Carles has been outstanding - very friendly and professional. He very quickly got in touch after I left a message and took me on at short notice despite the fact I had trouble filling in the online registration form. I had been in excruciating pain for almost a week and after my massage yesterday I woke up today and all pain has gone - it feels like a miracle. I am so grateful Carles - you are a real wizard Many many thanks ! ~ Annika

Carles was professional and very personable. After an assessment he advised me on what treatment I needed which proved to be perfect. His knowledge of how the body works whether a sportsperson or someone facing older age was second to none. I would highly recommend him and plan to continue seeing him for ‘maintenance’ therapy. Thanks very much Carles at Rebalance. ~ Jill S

I would Highly recommend Carles. He is very knowledgeable, and delivers his experience in a very caring manner. I have regular sports massage for destonia and he truly keeps me functioning; always listening and adapting treatments to meet my changing needs. As an added bonus he has a great sense of humour and funny stories that get you through any pain from deep tissue work. ~ D S

I've returned to Carles at Rebalance numerous times for a sports massage while training for full and half marathons. He takes care to understand where I'm feeling immobility or discomfort and I'm then at perfect ease as he delivers the massage, checking I'm comfortable and offering as much or as little conversation as I'm in the mood for. I'll be back! ~ Dave O

Definitely the best deep tissue massage I have ever had. Very quickly after the session began I had confidence that Carles knew exactly what he was doing; he pinpointed the problem area with presision and then set to work on it. It may or may not take a while to completely recover but I have faith that I am on the right track. I would highly recommend Carles. ~ Stephen F

Carles very kindly treated me at short notice. I was collecting my daughter from Edinburgh University and had developed a very sore lower back after a 400 mile drive. I could not have asked for better treatment from Carles. I very much enjoyed meeting him and would very happily strongly recommend Rebalance. ~ Mark B

Carles has been an amazing massage therapist, tailoring to my sport injuries. He’s very professional and is a lovely character, always answering my questions in detail and giving me further advice for injury prevention and next steps for treatments. I would recommend him to anyone whether it’s just for specific injuries or general maintenance. ~ Luca J

A friendly face, good listener, full of good advice as well as being an excellent massage therapist. He provides a fantastic all round service, releasing whatever tension you may have. I’ve been very happy going to Carles for a few years now, booking is easy too. I would highly recommend giving him a try. ~ David M

Graham Brown Following a fall in January, I have visited Carles twice for therapeutic massage. On both occasions he was professional, positive and understanding - not only regarding the practical, physical aspects of my recovery but also the psychological impact of my fall. I highly recommend him as a massage therapist. ~ SMP B

I have went to Carles on and off for years now any time that I have needed a sports massage. He is extremely knowledgable and regardless of whether it is for maintenance for your sport or if you find yourself in pain, I couldn’t recommend him enough. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. ~ Ashley M

I am so glad to have found Rebalance. Carles is friendly and professional and listens carefully to find out what needs doing then delivers a great massage that really helps sort out the problem. I thoroughly recommend him and will definitely use him again. Thank you! ~ James B

I had a great sports massage with Carles, we had a good chat beforehand so he could assess how best to use the time. Nice space and very friendly/comfortable atmosphere. I'm marathon training and found the targeted release so needed, and it moved some long standing tension. Will be going back! ~ Pippa B

I had an excellent experience with Carles. I've regained the ability to turn my head fully, without experiencing pain, which I've not been able to do for years. He was patient and thorough, communicated clearly when something might be uncomfortable, and has a nice and relaxing space. ~ Acrob17

Have been twice now to have remedial massage from Carles...highly recommend! Charles understands physiology and anatomy extremely well and knew exactly what to work on to help recover from a recent lower back issue. Delighted to have discovered Rebalance. ~ Stacey C

Rebalance is a great clinic based within Edinburgh University at The Pleasance. Fantastic sports massage from Carles who really knows his stuff and has been helping me get back into skiing following a knee operation and a hip replacement. Highly recommend. ~ Claire H

Carles is a magician! He always knows exactly what the problem is and gets it sorted. So many times now he's got me back to running when I've had issues that have turned out to be caused by muscle tightness. Absolutely recommend enduring the massage pain for the long-term gain! ~ Sarah F

Carles is fantastic and I would recommend ReBalance to anyone and everyone. He is so knowledgable, willing and able to give advice to help sort issues you may have. His manner and customer service is also brilliant, making you feel comfortable in the space. ~ Thomas H

Regular massage treatment by Carles continues to contribute such a very important part in helping me to manage a chronic health condition. Carles skills and knowledge are the best. He is an excellent professional who I would highly recommend. Carles....CARE is in his name. G ~ Frankn V

I went for a full body massage with Carles. He was brilliant, asked me about any particular pain points which he then tailored into my treatment. I would highly recommend Carles and I look forward to seeing him again. ~ Greig O
