Shiatsu & Sports Massage Therapy - City Marshall

So grateful that he is open during level 4 COVID-19 lockdown. Such a blessing. I have been to a fair few massage clinics, and had deep tissue massage as well as other therapeutic massage routines (especially Acupressure massage). From the first visit to City Marshall Massage, the results were quite amazing. Really beyond all my expectations. Most massages I had were relaxing, but the sleep I experiences for the first week after the Shiatsu Acupressure treatment was extraordinarily deep and uninterrupted. I have been to see Marshall three more times and after each massage I have felt wonderful for weeks. Highly recommended for general massage or for specific therapeutic needs.

It is difficult not to repeat the praise already given to Marshall by others. The chance visit to Marshall has changed my entire life, as well as that of my family. My 12 year-old daughter was present in the room with me, and she took almost all of what he said on-board. Which is a miracle in and of itself. Marshall speaks plain English and for a man with his obvious expertise, it is remarkable that he does not hide behind Latin phrases and elaborate clinical terminology. One simple thing that he said that resonated with my entire family is that “the human body has evolved over 3 million years, whereas conventional medicine has been here for less than 200 years. If you learn to work with your body and not against it – you will always win”. Marshall will teach you everything from correct posture to perfecting your nutrition and he does it in plain English. A true gem.

I visited Cardiff for five days on business and I choose Marshall reflexology clinic due to their location and excellent reviews. I have reflexology at least twice a month, but in Marshall's case, I went back twice in the same week for reflexology. The treatment itself was fantastic, the sleep I benefited from for the duration of my trip (and for a whole month after) was peaceful and uninterrupted. His knowledge of sports nutrition and general diet tips are fascinating. You will pay double this in Germany and receive much less benefit. Happy to recommend reflexology here to everyone.

I have been advised after my operation to have a course of manual lymphatic drainage to speed healing of the tissue and toxin elimination. I choose Marshall due to their many excellent reviews. I was certainly not disappointed. As well as excellent results already after the first session, I have received advice and dietary guidance that will surely be invaluable. Can not recommend Marshal highly enough.

Fantastic treatment. Pin-pointed the exact amount of pressure and demonstrated superb knowledge. Found 2 or 3 areas in my scapula and shoulder, which I was totally unaware of, and I felt better for 3 to 4 weeks after. Proved to me that although the pain is in one area, the problem area can be totally different. Certainly worth the money.

This is one very special therapy centre. I have been to many and trust me – Marshall Massage is unique. The therapist is genuine, caring and attentive. He listens and then advises with a lot of patience. He certainly knows his stuff and knows how to put you at ease. His spectrum of medical knowledge and qualifications is very impressive and his many testimonials are no surprise to me at all. There is free parking at the back and Cardiff Queen Street station is a mere 3 or 4 minutes away. Bravo!

Do yourself a kindness and visit Marshall Massage when in Cardiff. I have often needed to attend many specialist clinics for my various ailments. Without doubt, Marshall combines a wonderful array of knowledge with a genuine caring touch. After three reflexology sessions, my insomnia and panic attacks are radically reduced and I feel full of vital life energy. I only wish I found this massage clinic many years ago, as it would have saved me a lot of money. A true gem.

I have enjoyed my visitt to Marshall massage therapy clinic in Cardiff. He appears to have 20 years of great experience in sports injures, and pin-pointed my needs and addresed them within 10 minutes of seeing me. We focussed on myofscial release of my trapped sciatic nerve. It is now two monthes later - and there is stil totally no pain! We had two times a full hour session, and both times, I was given an extra 15 minutes or so of free time when we further dicussed diet, nutrition, ways of streching and general well-being. Marshall is an exceptional talent and you should seek him out on yor visit to Cardiff.

Marshall gave excellent service and is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition. I had a Shiatsu acupuncture treatment and have never experienced such profound relaxation and calming sleep for many years. Sheer bliss!

I have booked a meeting with Phillip to help my body relax after intense exercise. All my expectations were not only met but also exceeded. Phillip also taught me about the relevance of magnesium and vitamin D for which I am grateful. He was very helpful and professional at every step. During the session, I particularly? Enjoyed Hopi ear candling, which was not only relaxing for my body but also for my mind. I recommend Phillip Marshall with no hesitation.

I have had chronic pains in knees, hips and shoulder (and tightness pretty much everywhere) for a year and a half now. This is as a result of long term postural issues and being hyper mobile. I'm 20/21 and a student at Cardiff University. The sessions with Phillip, along with stretching every day and partaking in activities such as pilates/yoga and the gym, have resulted in huge improvements. Phillip's massages and advise have been instrumental in my recovery and I have made substantial changes as a result in my daily life. I now have a very healthy lifestyle, exercising every day and eating a very healthy diet. I also had very low energy and on Phillip's advise I had a blood test for vitamin D. I was very low (range for a normal person is 100-200 and I was at 46). I take a vitamin D supplement every day and at the last blood test registered at 191! If you want to positively improve your life I highly recommend Phillip! There is only so much you can do by yourself, and massages allow for increased mobility, flexibility and improved posture.Guy McIntyre.Moreexpand_more

I had different massage treatments over a period of two months and they were carried out in a very friendly and professional way. My ailments have almost gone and my overall health and wellbeing have significantly improved. I certainly recommend this business.

I have done a number of sessions of reiki and shiatsu with Philip, I feeel much calmer and generally have a better type of energy as well. Philip is very professional and he tailors a treatment to your particular needs. All in all I would highly recommend Philip to anyone that I know. Steve.

After reading so many different good reviews I decided to try a massage at City marshall, Cardiff and was not disappointed! I had hip and shoulder problems and had seen various therapists in the past. Phillil took his time during the consultation to find out which areas were causing problems and I was particularly impressed with his broad knowledge of complimentary therapies/diet/nutrition/sport injuries/stretches. I also suffer from heartburn and he advised me to avoid certain foods. It s great to be able to have appointments at short notice and I would highly recommend Phillip as a complimentary therapist.

I first went to see Phillip after re-injuring my lower back. I had previously visited chiropractic clinics and physiotherapists and the issue was still unresolved for many years. After 5 sessions it has certainly helped me in reducing the pain and stress I had felt. Phillip is a genuine and knowledgeable man who cares about all his clients and creates an atmosphere that is suitable for all. I feel that the price you pay for his services are justifiable, as the wide variety of quality therapies provided can really make a difference for people's lives.

I have had 3 sessions so far with Phillip, who is treating me for back problems which are very painful. After the first session, the constant pain in my arm had lessened significantly; after 3 sessions, I am now able to sit comfortably and in different positions. I have also been able to discuss nutrition and posture with Phillip. The first couple of massages were a little painful as my muscles were in such poor condition, but the massages themselves are becoming more relaxing now as the muscles are mending. I'm very impressed, and I think that the treatment is working well. I intend to keep up with regular maintenance massage once the immediate problem is resolved. Thank you Phillip.

With his expert care and professional manner, Philip seamlessly blends sports massage, Shiatsu and other complementary therapies, including dietary advice. His attunement with his clients' needs is second to none and his gentle and intuitive composure makes you feel relaxed and in extremely capable hands. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He has helped me with anxiety, IBS, a trapped nerve and all manner of other discomforts.

My wife and I have been visiting City Marshall for some years. Philip Marshall is an outstanding professional with a depth of knowledge and understanding. Very attentive and calm always affording dignity and respect. I have recommended City Marshall to my patients and they have all found the service professional and energising as well as the intervention being relaxing.

Hi, I was really glad to find City Marshal in Cardiff. I understood the prices were high because of the location. I've had a lot of Shiatsu before and have always been treated on the floor. I was surprised to be treated on a massage couch where you put your head through a hole. I always find these things incredibly unrelaxing and can never let go. I should've said something as I felt that I was getting no benefit for my £90. Too polite for my own good! I went back to the hotel and had a completely sleepless night…not the result I was looking for. In response to City Marshal's comments, I wasn't given the option of a Shiatsu pad on the floor or asked if I was happy using a massage bed.Moreexpand_more

Plagued by neck and back pain, which persisted despite trying a range of different therapies and exercises, I was very pleased by the effect of just a couple of treatments at City Marshall. The care and attention, and ability to destress painful muscles, are outstanding - in fact I am amazed at what they can do. My singing voice has been transformed by tension reduction in my back.
