I can recommend Andy - he is seriously good! I work in a stressful job in the City, and get very bad tension in my back and shoulders. I've had a few massages from him now and he works wonders - very relaxing and really does a good job of getting rid of the knots in my back. He's also very professional and a thoroughly nice guy.

It's so nice to find a masseur who has the strength (and the large hands) for a stronger, more intense massage if that's what you want. Andy listens to what you say in terms of pressure levels desired, tense areas, etc. so he can tailor the treatment to suit you. And he's a nice guy too, friendly, puts you at your ease, etc. A good local service.

Also wanted to leave a recommendation for Andy, went to see him today and really enjoyed the experience. Strong, firm massage and as Misi says above, really attentive to your needs so will adapt pressure and tailor it to your specific requirements. Also located a nasty knot on my shoulder (which had been there for aeons) and managed to make it disappear. Really professional and a lovely chap, will recommend to my friends and will definitely go back!

Hi Andy


I had a bike accident last Friday where I crashed into a lamp post and my shoulder and side and neck took the impact. I'm still stiff and could really do with some help today before going back to my extremely hectic job. my arm, shoulder and around the top half of my spine are really stiff.


Are you available around 5pm?


Thanks Julia

Andy,


I am looking for a masseur with a bit of strenth. The reviews above sound like you're good for that. I have a very tight neck and back.


I live near East Dulwich station and would happily pay what you are asking. Hope to hear from you.

Andy is great! I am a musician and went to Andy last week with playing-related neck and shoulder tension. The massage really helped and I left feeling a lot looser and more relaxed. Would definitely recommend, he is highly professional and even took the time to show me a few exercises as well. Claire

WOW!!! I have had many massages over the years but this is definitely one of the best!


Andy massages with great expertise and professionalism


He made me feel very comfortable and at ease


He has a strong firm touch and often checked that the pressure was ok for me


The rate of ?30 is more than reasonable and i just cannot recommend him enough


My whole body felt better and the day after i felt more flexible than i have for a while


Going to have a fortnightly from now onwards

I have once posted a recommendation for Andy's massage services, but I feel the need to mention how amazing the last two massages with him have been. Like others posting here, I have enjoyed (and endured) many massages in spas, hotels, etc throughout the world. A handful have been great. The last two with Andy are in my Top Five Ever list. I swim a lot and also hold tension in my shoulders (don't we all?)... and I prefer a more "intensive" approach to my knots (which Andy has the technique, stamina, strength to do). However, he'll do something subtle, a small movement on a "trigger point" which can be equally impressive/beneficial. I know not everyone likes so much pressure, like me, but I know he can tailor the massage to each client's needs. Don't hesitate to book an appointment. Sorry to drivel on, but it's rare that I am this enthusiastic.

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
